Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

No life grows here. It is completely dead.

Zonguldrok's Shrine (also known as Zonguldrok's Mausoleum) is a Wizard Laboratory that serves as the final resting place for the great necromancer Zonguldrok. It consists of an outer graveyard which slowly fills with powerful undead, as well as an inner chamber which houses Zonguldrok's remains and the guardians of the shrine.

Initially, the outer graveyard is empty except for a multitude of gravestones. These will be gradually replaced with monsters as you explore. The door leading to the inner chamber will only appear after enough of these monsters have been killed. Once inside, you'll be attacked by several more skeletal warriors, and beyond them, you'll find the grave of Zonguldrok.

A gravestone of the house of Zonguldrok, still dripping with brackish ichor.

Past this gravestone you'll find a pair of treasure chambers, filled with an assortment of potions, scrolls, and the evil Sword of Zonguldrok, a powerful artefact double sword which raises the fallen to serve you.

Monsters

Z Zombie - Slow melee attackers that will continually rise from the many gravestones in the graveyard. Eventually they will stop coming. Ettin and juggernaut zombies still hit hard, so be careful not to get swamped by them.
W Phantasmal warrior - Ghosts that will annoyingly blink around you and halve your willpower on a successful hit. Beware of them in conjuction with vampires.
V Vampire - These can be dangerous if you have low willpower or let them live long enough to go invisible and pester you while you deal with more pressing concerns. Rarely a major threat, however.
V Vampire knight - Far more dangerous than normal vampires, these enemies can make themselves hasted and invisible while paralyzing and chopping you to pieces.
V Jiangshi - Vampiric zombies that move extremely quickly, but skip most turns.
n Ghoul - Bulky, undead melee brutes. Hits harder than most of the other enemies here, but have no special abilities to speak of. There aren't really any chokepoints on the floor, however, so avoid getting surrounded.
z Skeletal warrior - These melee fighters are stronger than the zombies or vampires, but you should be able to handle them easily enough if you've survived to this point.
z Ancient champion - These are much more dangerous than skeletal warriors. They are capable of hasting themselves and blasting you with Iron Shot.
z Antique champion - Two of these will spawn in the central chamber, guarding the loot (see below).

An unfathomably expensive skeleton. It has countless sigils engraved into its bones, and pulses with a ghostly presence.

These opponents always spawn equipped with shadow dragon scales, kite shields, and double swords. They are thus capable of withstanding and dealing obscene amounts of damage (with 73 to 81 damage melee damage attacks!) after they haste and might themselves, especially to the living or poorly armoured, and should be prepared for accordingly.

-{{flavour|A lich who has grown expensive over countless years.}}
-{{Brown|L}} [[File:Zonguldrok lich.png]] Zonguldrok will rise and attack you as an '''antique lich''' once you approach the treasure chambers south of his gravestone. He'll have the full spell set of an [[ancient lich]], so the best course of action for most characters is to hit him with [[Silence]] and then destroy him in melee. Casters may have a much harder time dealing with him, as he resists everything but physical damage and [[holy]] attacks. If possible, use [[Earth Magic]], non-elemental [[Conjurations]], or [[Dispel Undead]] after [[Haste|hasting]] yourself. Alternatively, you can always run into his treasure rooms, grab a few choice items, and then let a teleport carry you to safety. You'll ''probably'' wind up somewhere safe.
