-You can create corridors yourself with the aid of a [[pick axe]], [[dwarvish mattock]], [[spellbook of dig|dig spell]], [[wand of digging]] or polymorphing into a [[rock mole]] or [[umber hulk]]. If you find large amounts of [[rock]]s, [[gem]]s or [[gold]] in a corridor this is a sign it has been dug by a monster. Always think of the possibility of a [[bones]] file character.

-'''Corridors''', represented by {{lightgray|#}} (or {{white|#}} if lit), are passageways connecting [[room]]s in the [[Dungeons of Doom]] and [[Minetown]]. Not all corridors lead to rooms, and many have hidden sections (called a secret passage) which must be located by [[Search|searching]]. Others may have [[boulder]]s blocking your path. It is never impossible to progress further in the dungeon. If you come to a dead end, search all the walls until you find a secret passage. If a boulder is blocking your path, either destroy it (if you can) or drop everything you have so you can squeeze by the boulder and try to push it to a better location.

 Corridors are usually single file and always unlit. [[Telepathy]], [[Warning]] or [[Infravision]] are helpful when walking in corridors.

-Move diagonally past corners to save time and get around faster. Corridors end when you find a [[door]]. If you are on an early level be sure it isn't a [[shop]] door (there will be an engraving, "Closed for inventory"), before you [[kick]] it down. If the corridor ends and there is no door, there is likely a secret door nearby.

 Use a light source if you can spare it to avoid any awkward encounters. A [[spellbook of light|light spell]] is particularly useful since it is permanent.

-The '''advantages''' of a corridor is that they are usually single file so you are less likely to be overwhelmed with enemies by numbers alone. The single file space also lines up enemies for convenient disposal by [[wand]]s, [[spell]]s or [[ranged attack]]s.

-If you are overwhelmed by a long column of enemies you can displace your [[pet]]; switching places with it for a few turns to recuperate.
