 The '''Chaotic Quest''' is one of the new [[alignment quest|alignment-based quests]] in [[SLASH'EM]], and arguably the hardest of the three. Unlike normal quests, the alignment quests do not have quest leaders, nor do you actually have to belong to the alignment in question to attempt the Quest. They are also only one level each. You have to complete at least two of the three alignment quests to get the keys to the indestructible doors in [[Vlad's Tower]].

-Vecna himself is located in the 14x10 room; on defeat, he will drop the [[Key of Chaos]] and the [[Hand of Vecna]], which is a very powerful item, definitely worth the trouble all the liches will cause you; it gives you slotless hungerless [[regeneration]] and [[half physical damage]] in addition to its normal invoke effect.
+Vecna himself is located in the 14x10 room; on defeat, he will drop the [[Key of Chaos]], and if killed without digestion or disintegration he will also drop [[The Hand of Vecna (SLASH'EM)|The Hand of Vecna]], a very powerful item that gives slotless hungerless [[regeneration]] and [[half physical damage]], and can be invoked to summon undead.

 * Have [[fire resistance]]: the random {{white|V}} may include [[fire vampire]]s, who will quickly wipe out any character without it. [[Reflection]] is also important, as it will protect you from the disintegration breath of a summoned black dragon.
 * Make sure you have a +4 weapon or extremely powerful spell attacks.  You want to be able to kill Vecna for his hand and key.  Do not disintegrate him or digest him, as this loses you the hand, one of the best items in the game.

-On entering the Chaotic Quest, you will receive the message "You feel deathly cold." Unlike the [[Lawful Quest|Lawful]] and [[Neutral Quest|Neutral]] Quests, the Chaotic Quest does not have a fixed map. Instead, it looks like a standard rooms-and-corridors level with one bigger 14x10 room. The level contains 17 random [[Lich|L]], six random [[Wraith (monster class)|W]], eight random [[V]], and 14 random [[Z]]; eight chests, nine random gems, ten random potions, nine random scrolls, six random spellbooks, and 34 other random items; and seven random traps.
