 	The final challenge will be Zot 5. Almost nothing in the orb run can hurt us considering we’ve killed the lords of hell and pandemonium. Therefore, we must clear Zot 5, so we don’t fumble at the finish line. The only real dangerous enemy here is going to be the infamous Orb of Fire. Enfeeble and try to fight each of them one at a time. They are extremely strong, so it is difficult to kill them with upheaval or disaster area, and they fire line spells that easily annihilate your elementals and summons. The exception is if you get a stack of 5 or 6 Orbs of Fire. Read a teleport scroll immediately and cast enfeeble on each or roll and hope disaster area can wipe out some within a few casts. If you can fight them one at a time, either by digging or due to the location where you start fighting in Zot 5, then hitting them with your axe will be the most effective method. Don’t worry about getting drained, you will gain back the exp by killing the Orb. Once everything in Zot 5 is dead, collect the orb and make the run for the surface. Auto-path through the dungeon by pressing G, then Dungeon, then floor 0 to head to the surface. Kill anything that tries to stop you. Walk casually back to the surface and win!

 	You will eventually find the shrine to Qazlal Stormbringer, his altar looks like this:

 Begin worshipping Qazlal! He will provide several powerful bonuses and abilities that synergize with our game plan. Also, turn on invocation training, and set it to 17. This is important to be able to use our god abilities, which are upheaval, elemental force, and disaster area. Upheaval is a smite targeted radius 1 explosion that deals a random element of damage and effect. Use it to kill dangerous enemies like orc priests, hydras and hellions. It will be useful all game, and after 16.7 invocations it has a chance to affect a larger radius. Use judiciously though, as Qazlal’s abilities are quite piety expensive, and most enemies can be efficiently cleared with your axe instead! Elemental force summons a bunch of elementals based on the clouds around you. Qazlal generates these passively with his storm shield ability and scrolls of fog also count. Disaster area simply blasts enemies in the area with a bunch of upheavals at once. It is your AOE emergency clear. Use this for difficult fights with numerous foes. Storm shield is the defining trait of qazlal, and why we will be using shields all game. You gain bonus SH based on piety, up to 8 at max. This is a siezable bonus equal to a +8 enchantment on a shield. Qazlal will also provide repel missiles and elemental resistance at higher piety levels. This makes Qazlal excellent defensively for our build, saving us 1 pip of resistance in fire, ice, electric or physical, and providing repel missiles for basically free. Just be careful to maintain high piety. Save these abilities for when you really need them and kill most enemies by chopping them to pieces.
