(Sorry, but I'm gonna revert the last edit. One compact table looks better than a bunch of dented tables with 2-4 columns. The goal is to give an overview of threats; the monsters are categorized in the "List of ..." articles already.)

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
The Depths are the deepest part of the dungeon proper, subject to the corrupting influence of the Realm of Zot without being considered a part of it.

Depths entry.png The Depths are a four-floor branch accessed through a guarded portal on Dungeon:15. Its layout generally resembles that of the Dungeon, although it has a greater tendency toward open spaces and elaborate full floor vaults. Along with several entrances to the Abyss, the Vestibule of Hell, and Pandemonium and an entrance to a Ziggurat, you can find the entrance to the Realm of Zot on Depths:4, guarded by a variety of draconian guards.

Portals

  • Abyss entry.png A portal to the Abyss always spawns on Depths:3. Other Depths floors have a 33% chance to have a portal.
  • Hell entry.png An entrance to the Vestibule of Hell appears on every Depths floor.
  • Ziggurat portal.png One ziggurat portal spawns on a random Depths floor.
  • Pandemonium entry.png A portal to the Pandemonium always spawns on Depths:2. Other Depths floors have a 25% chance to have a portal.
