 * On the way down, you can use a [[wand of digging]] or [[pick-axe]] to dig a hole near the stairs so you only have to deal with it in one direction.
 * On the way up, you can quaff a cursed [[potion of gain level]] to go directly up one level. You will end up in a random place on the level above as if you had [[levelport]]ed in. This works even with the [[Amulet of Yendor]] during the [[ascension run]], although the [[mysterious force]] still applies.
-* In either direction, you can [[polyself]] into a [[phasing]] monster such as a [[xorn]] and pass through the walls. This is rarely useful, as it is time-consuming and annoying to remove armor and polymorph just to cross a single level, and is especially dangerous if you have woken up the [[Wizard of Yendor]] and/or your body armor is your primary source of [[magic resistance]].

-This level is notorious for being extremely irritating to navigate: the walls of the lair core shown above are undiggable, and the stairs are always somewhere to the left of the lair, meaning that it's necessary to walk all the way to the right side of the level and then all the way back to the left to move between the stairs. Further, the level is no-teleport. There are a couple of ways you can circumvent this:
+* On the way down, you can use a [[wand of digging]] or [[pick-axe]] to dig a hole near the stairs so you only have to deal with it in one direction.
-* On the way down, you can [[wand of digging|dig]] a [[pick-axe|hole]] near the stairs so you only have to deal with it in one direction.
