-*Even a single rank of [[fire]] resistance can make a big difference. Pile it on as best you can. If you lack it, be aware that much of the loot found here will provide it, including items that normally never offer the fire resistance [[ego]]. You'll face a brutal fight on your way through to get it, however; don't be afraid to quaff a [[potion of resistance]] or two to help you survive the heaviest fighting.

 **If you have no way of getting fire resistance at all, you may want to skip this side level. There's usually an exit near the entrance, so you can often take a look at what you'll be up against before deciding to continue or not.
-*If you have [[Mephitic Cloud]], you can avoid eruptions easily by creating mephitic clouds on yourself before the eruption occurs. New clouds cannot form on tiles that already have existing clouds. Just don't wander around while [[confuse]]d.

 *[[Stealth]] helps tremendously here, giving you the option of ignoring all those pesky monsters living in the lava which really don't pay off when killed.
