-While negative energy is relatively easy to resist (rN+++ is full immunity to negative energy), there are a variety of dangerous threats in Tartarus. Because of the willpower penalty, [[paralysis]] is an extreme threat; it's impossible to 100% resist paralysis from [[dread lich]]es and [[Ereshkigal]], meaning [[instant death|100% unavoidable death]] is a real possibility. [[Silence]], from both silent spectres and Ereshkigal, will limit your emergency options and prevent casting entirely.

 The last level of Tartarus is often deceptive. In some layouts you'll have to excavate rock walls or search for doors to reach treasure vaults, including the one in which the rune is hidden, near where you encounter Ereshkigal.

-Difficulty-wise, Tartarus is a mixed bag. On the one hand, rN+++ confers complete immunity to negative energy, unlike other resistances. On the other hand, the demons you meet here are varied and dangerous.

 If you are a magic user, make sure you have a strategy for the inevitable [[Silence]] auras you will encounter, both from silent spectres and Ereshkigal herself. Ereshkigal's silence range is 5 tiles, much more manageable than the silent spectres' permanent 12-tile aura. If you are relying on [[Necromutation]], watch out - it may wear off when you're in a silence field.

Note that if you do not natively have rN+++ and are relying on [[Necromutation]], this will be difficult to cast when you are silenced. And this can happen with no warning, should a silent spectre generate nearby, care of a Hell Effect.

 Like every other hell, the first six levels contain one exit, one staircase down, and are drastically shorter.
