-In the center of the altar room at the bottom of the map (located at the '''1'''), you'll find a randomly named '''hellbinder''' worshiping at an [[altar]] to [[Makhleb]]. Although he's armed with a [[demon blade]], his melee attacks are still much less devastating than his [[hellfire]] and demon summons. Any decent combat spell specialist or ranged attacker should be able to obliterate him before he can put up much of a fight, especially if they have [[Aura of Abjuration]] prepared to take care of his summons quickly. If he manages to summon something actually threatening, don't be afraid to teleport and come back once his allies time out.

-The '''Halls of the Hellbinder''' are a [[Wizard Laboratory]] made of unnatural black walls and yellow floor sigils dedicated to control over all manner of [[demon]]s. Its map is a convoluted series of demonic summoning and containment chambers, with two small treasure rooms southeast of the entrance area, a portal out opposite of the entrance, and a wide open boss chamber at the very bottom. Expect to face almost any tier [[2]] or [[3]] demon along the way, as well as various demon summoners and gouts of flaming [[cloud]]s that fill the bottom-center of the halls.

-The sheer variety of demons you can face here make proper preparations difficult, especially since red devils and reapers will have random weapon brands. [[Fire]], [[cold]], and [[poison]] resistance will definitely help minimize the amount of damage, [[negative energy]] resistance will help with the common soul eaters and [[mutation]] resistance will help with spare cacodemons. [[Magic resistance]] is of immense use for said cacodemons and [[banishment]] from deep elf demonologists. [[Hellfire]] is, as always, irresistible for players.

 The placement of demons in this Wizlab is fairly consistent, though the exact demons placed can vary significantly. The following section helps explain demon placement on the map found below.

 ==History==
 *Prior to [[0.14|0.14-9ae1ffb6]], the vault contained a significantly different demon set. Hellions, sun demons, tormentors, and blizzard demons were more common; soul eaters and hell beasts were less common; the vault had a random chance for the kobold and deep elf demonologists; and neqoxecs were present while red and blue devils were absent. The vault's danger was thus more random than now.
