    FACT: gold is formed in the extreme heat of stars

    FACT: Hell is known for its extreme heat

    THEREFORE: gold is likely extremely common in Hell. The Devil was offering a worthless prize.

      It’s not the heat but the pressure that does it. The heat in a star is the byproduct of the pressure, it’s not what causes the gold to form. And even then I think metals as heavy as gold only form in a supernova.
