 ===Portals and the Amulet===
 Wearing or wielding the [[Amulet of Yendor]] confers a form of magic portal detection that works like a game of [[wikipedia:Hot and Cold (game)|"hot and cold"]]: Every game turn, there is a {{frac|15}} chance that you will receive a message about the Amulet glowing, with the heat of its glow indicating your proximity to a magic portal. While this works for any magic portal, it is clearly intended to serve as a means of portal detection while traversing the Planes in the endgame - in practice, and as displayed in the article linked above, there are several far more convenient methods of doing so.

 The [[Valley of the Dead]] acts as a hub for several branches tied to Gehennom, with multiple magic portals on the level: one connected to [[Vlad's Tower]] that leads directly into the central room of the ground floor; another leading to the [[Dragon Caves]]; and a third that leads to [[Sheol]]. This hub of portals was made possible using a relatively simple fix.<ref>[https://github.com/UnNetHack/UnNetHack/blob/a1a7abf3afc/src/do.c#L1574 UnNetHack blob a1a7abf, do.c line 1574]</ref>
