The Seven Stakes of Purgatory, also known as the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, are furniture employed by Beatrice. The Stakes can bounce off of walls and objects in order to attack from any direction. Due to their speed, the Stakes are almost impossible to escape without a strong magical resistance. The Stakes can also take on a human form in which they can use blades of light to attack.

After Beatrice was defeated in End of the Golden Witch, the Stakes became furniture for Battler. During this time, Bernkastel and Furudo Erika reveal that the vessels for the Stakes are cheap fake occult knock-offs that Kinzo was tricked into believing were real.

Each of the Seven Stakes are named after a one of the seven princes of hell, each of which represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Trivia

• The lower half of the Stakes' attire bears extreme resemblance to the Angel Mort restaurant uniform from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
• The Stakes of Purgatory's relative ages directly correspond to the order of the terraces in Purgatorio as Dante and Virgil ascend towards the meeting with Beatrice - pride first, lust last, however the order of stakings touch upon the opposite of that.
• The Stakes are all modeled after servants Sayo Yasuda worked with during her time as a servant for the Ushiromiya family.
• The sprites for the different Stakes are identical aside from their hair.
