Elemental Planes

The Elemental Planes form the first four levels of what NetHack refers to as the End Game. As the name suggests, each of the four Planes represents one of the four elements:

• the Plane of Earth
• the Plane of Air
• the Plane of Fire
• the Plane of Water

At present, the planes always appear in this order, and are followed by the Astral Plane. The Plane of Earth is entered by climbing the upstair on Dungeon Level 1 with the Amulet of Yendor in your possession (if you do not have the Amulet--perhaps because you have been fooled by a fake--you will instead "escape the dungeon" and the game will end immediately, so beware). Movement from one plane to the next, and from the Plane of Water to the Astral plane, then requires finding a magic portal. It is impossible to move backwards to an earlier plane, or to return to any of the earlier dungeon branches.
