Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
| 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. |
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 large or 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.
Contents
Portals
A portal to the Abyss always spawns on Depths:3. Other Depths floors have a 33% chance to have a portal.
An entrance to the Vestibule of Hell appears on every Depths floor.
One ziggurat portal spawns on a random Depths floor.
A portal to the Pandemonium always spawns on Depths:2. Other Depths floors have a 25% chance to have a portal.
Strategy
Generally, it isn't advised for you to enter the Depths right after you complete D:15. There are easier areas available (Lair and its branches, Orcish Mines, and The Vaults).
Monsters
These are some of the monsters you can expect to encounter in the Depths:
Draconians can also be found guarding the Realm of Zot.
