To summarise: getting down below the first level requires the following: - ring of teleport control - scroll of teleportation You must be fire resistant (either by wearing the ring or by having eaten a dead dragon at some point in the game). You must be confused. You must be wearing the ring of teleport control. Then you read the scroll. The confusion makes it a vertical teleport. The ring of teleport control allows you to choose which level to go to. The ring prevents you from burning (levels 30+ are in hell). If you take off the ring, and have never eaten a dead dragon, you will get killed by "stupidity in hell". You should choose level 40. This is the maximum level. (The maximum level you visited is quite important when counting the score at the end of the game). Maze levels: Maze levels have no stairs down -- only stairs up. If you go up stairs to a maze level, you are guaranteed to land on the next stairs going up. Maze levels (except the one the amulet was created on) always have a minotaur. When a minotaur is killed, you will always find a wand of digging under its corpse. You are guaranteed to find a wand of wishing under an enormous rock in a dead-end. You can teleport out to level 0 using the same method you used to go to the amulet level. P.S. Never drop or throw a crysknife! -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen DARPA: stephen%comp.lancs.ac.uk@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: stephen@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4599 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.
