 The '''extended game''' ('''15 rune game''', or simply '''extended''') comprises of the dungeon [[branch]]es outside the scope of an ordinary [[ascension]].
-To win the game, you only need 3 of the 15 possible [[runes of Zot]]. Most players go to the two easier [[Lair]] branches, then one (or more) of [[Abyss]], [[Slime Pits|Slime]], or [[Vaults]]. The other rune branches are considered the "post game", i.e., the extended game. They are designed to be difficult even for [[XL]] 27 characters, and most likely harder than the other options. Grabbing all 15 runes can be done for [[score]], [[tournament]] points,  bragging rights, etc.

-The extended branches are meant to be challenging, or at least risky, even after clearing the [[Realm of Zot]]. For maximum safety, complete Zot: 1-4 and any leftover rune branches first.

-As you progress through the extended game, you'll find yourself with a surplus of XP. Therefore, your exact [[skill]]s matter much less, so you can take your character to fairly wild directions. This is also a good time to change your [[god]], if at all - most characters are able to handle [[divine retribution]] from most gods at this point. Abyss and Crypt are good places to shrug off the godly wrath.
+As you progress through the extended game, you'll find yourself with a surplus of XP. Characters can afford to invest into basically anything, since their "main" skills will be maxed or nearly maxed out. This is also a good time to change your [[god]], if at all - most characters are able to handle [[divine retribution]] from most gods at this point. Abyss and Crypt are good places to shrug off the godly wrath.
 Most of extended is filled with two threats: [[torment]] and [[damnation]]. Torment directly halves your current health, and resisting it is difficult if you're not already [[undead]]. Damnation, mostly found in Pan and Hell, ignores [[AC]], [[EV]], and [[SH]]; players can never gain a resistance to it.
