 '''NetHack 3.0.8''' is the 13th public release of [[NetHack]] and the ninth by the [[DevTeam]].  [[Izchak Miller]] published it to the [[Usenet]] newsgroup comp.sources.games and the moderator approved it in June 1990.

 The dungeon in NetHack 3.0.8 has no branches; there is one way up and one way down.  The first 25 levels or so consist of rooms, and beyond that, the adventurer encounters the [[Castle]] and then mazes.  The deepest dungeon level is 50.
 [[Medusa]] appears as {{brightgreen|@}} on the down-stairs of the level before the Castle.  She does not have a special level, and is thus a snare for the unwary adventurer.
-Dungeon levels below the Castle are designated as "[[Hell]]".  Entering hell without [[fire resistance]], or losing it once there, is an [[instadeath]].  This may happen by taking off an item that confers fire resistance ([[ring of fire resistance]] or red [[dragon scale mail]]), losing one's [[polymorph]], or by being hit by a [[gremlin]].  One may still be saved if he has some other source of fire resistance.  These levels have only up-stairs, and the only way to proceed beyond the first level after the Castle is by [[level teleportation]].
