		+	Keep in mind that an elemental wellspring's [[Primal Wave]] can cover you and your adjacent hexes with (temporarily summoned) shallow water, rendering any stairwells inaccessible. For that reason, if you are in a static defensive position, staying 2 squares away from the stairway will keep the stairway open for any possible escape.

 ==Useful Info==
-Cocytus is 7 levels deep and populated by several kinds of "ice"-themed monsters, of which [[ice fiend]]s and powerful [[simulacra]] are the most dangerous if you lack proper cold resistance. You'll also meet several undead dragons and draconians, zombies, [[water elemental]]s, and [[shard shrike]]s. All the while a mystical Hellish force will assault you as is usual for all [[Hell]] branches, causing multiple nasty effects.
+Cocytus is 7 levels deep and populated by several kinds of "ice"-themed monsters, of which [[ice fiend]]s and powerful [[simulacra]] are the most dangerous if you lack proper cold resistance. [[Wendigo]]s will turn those simulacra into blasts of ice, while [[Nargun]]s will petrify and punch through ill-suited characters. You'll also meet several undead dragons and draconians, [[titan]]s, [[elemental wellspring]]s, and [[shard shrike]]s. All the while a mystical Hellish force will assault you as is usual for all [[Hell]] branches, causing multiple nasty effects.

+As far as layout goes, Cocytus is fairly open with several streams and lakes of deep water. Like the other hells, Cocytus' first 6 floors are much shorter; containing one staircase up and down.
 The last level of Cocytus contains the icy [[rune of Zot]], which is guarded by [[Antaeus]] and a multitude of ice fiends.
 ==Recommendations==
-Cocytus is one of the harder Hell branches, and you should not venture here until you've cleared almost everything else in the game, aside possibly from Zot:5, the [[Tomb]], [[Pandemonium]], and [[Ziggurat]]s. Having as much cold resistance as possible is strongly recommended, with rC+ being a strict minimum. It's wise to carry some [[potions of curing]] to prevent your body from [[rot]]ting away, which may happen occasionally by the effects of Hell.

 [[Fly]]ing is useful throughout the branch, and especially on the final floor to navigate the sometimes vast expanses of water. In absence of flight, translocations such as [[Passage of Golubria]] can also make your travel through the waterlogged levels of Cocytus much more efficient.
