If the hero is [[Orphean Rescue|rescuing someone]], there will be a catch. For instance, in Greek mythology, Orpheus was told his love, Eurydice, would follow him out of Hades, provided he did not look back to check that she was there. He looked back [[Exact Words|right after he got out but before]] ''[[Exact Words|she]]'' [[Exact Words|did]], and lost her. Similar tales of descending into an underworld and returning occur in numerous mythologies: Inanna in Sumerian, Hermod in Norse, Kaknu in Cholone (Native American) and many more.
 
[[Mordor]] can substitute for Hell, if its [[Evil Overlord]] is sufficiently god-like.
