Once inside, you'll be attacked by several more skeletal warriors, and beyond them, you'll find the grave of Zonguldrok.

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.

Zonguldrok's grave.png 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.
