-The Iron City of Dis has ascended over years of development from one of the easiest branches of Hell to one of the hardest. The guaranteed hell sentinels may lack the capability to cast Torment like [[Demon#Tier-1_Demons|the first-tier demons]] of the other hell branches, but make up for it between their capability to hurl [[damnation]] and their longevity granted by high defenses and heavy resists. Iron giants follow the same conceit, replacing their resistances with even higher health, heavy melee damage, and monster repositioning. While few other residents are particularly dangerous for their depth aside from regular tormentors and fiends for their [[torment]] capabilities, end vaults can vary heavily in openness while packing high monster density and roundabout, winding passages.

Iron golems have brutal melee attacks and are resistant to almost everything. While few other residents are particularly dangerous for their depth aside from regular tormentors and fiends for their [[torment]] capabilities, end vaults can vary heavily in openness while packing high monster density and roundabout, winding passages.
 Dis' hell effect is generally weaker than other branches; characters can afford a relatively minor (by the time you get to Dis) AC hit, and the [[holy wrath]] brand is still amazingly powerful.

 *The Iron City of Dis has had several notable changes to its themed monsters guaranteed in the vault ends. [[0.11]] replaced [[pit fiend]]s with [[hell sentinel]]s, [[0.12]] upgraded [[metal gargoyle]]s to [[war gargoyle]]s, and [[0.16]] shifted [[iron devil]]s to [[rust devil]]s. [[Iron giant]]s joined the branch population in [[0.18]].
 *End vaults were upgraded in [[0.11]], introducing pit fiends / hell sentinels and quicksilver dragons, setting a divider wall between the entrance stairs and the castle in older layouts, and bringing in the famously monster-heavy box-based layout of ''dis_st'' that served as a design influence for future Dis end vaults.

-The Iron City of Dis is 7 levels deep and, true to its name, is both cosmopolitan with its demonic / undead residents and focused on iron themed. The standard hellspawn of demons and [[tormentor]]s are common. Various (possibly) stair-containing vaults have [[iron troll]]s, [[iron dragon]]s, and [[quicksilver elemental]]s. On the last level, these are are joined by [[war gargoyle]]s, [[hell sentinel]]s, and in most ends mirrored paired guests of [[brimstone fiend]]s and [[ice fiend]]s. The imposing [[iron giant]] and [[iron golem]] also are essentially unique to the branch. [[Crystal echidna]]s will inflict [[barbs]] on you, making it difficult to run away.  As with all Hell branches, a mystical force will rain down varied miscast effects and monster spawns periodically, and the [[Serpent of Hell (Dis)|the Serpent of Hell]] is guaranteed to appear on the last level of one of the four Hells per game.

 Dis contains several layouts, all of which are built out of [[Wall#Metal|metal walls]]. It shares the grid-based ''layout_city'', the messy ''layout_chaotic_city'', and the tangled gates of ''layout_gridville'' with other branches, but has three unique layouts:
