 ==Dungeon features==
 The main trunk of the dungeon begins at level 1, where the game begins, and proceeds down [[stairs]] to [[Medusa's Lair]] and the [[Castle]]. From there, it is necessary to enter a [[trap door]] to the [[Valley of the Dead]]. Further stairs down eventually lead to the invocation level. Performing the [[invocation ritual]] at the [[vibrating square]] opens the stairs to the [[Sanctum]].
-With the [[Amulet of Yendor]] in hand, the adventurer may ascend from level 1 into the [[Plane of Earth]]; thence s/he may proceed through [[magic portal]]s to the planes of [[Plane of Air|Air]], [[Plain of Fire|Fire]], and [[Plain of Water|Water]], and thence to the [[Astral Plane]]. Offering the [[Amulet of Yendor]] on the correct [[high altar]] wins the game.

Offering the [[Amulet of Yendor]] on the correct [[high altar]] wins the game.
 Along the way, one will encounter these branches and special levels:
-* A second [[stair]] to the [[Gnomish Mines]]. Therein, one will find [[Mine Town]] and, at the end, the bottom level with a [[luckstone]].
 * The [[Oracle]] level.
 * An upward [[staircase]] to [[Sokoban]].

 * The [[Rogue level]].
 * The [[magic portal]] to the [[Quest]].

 * The [[Valley of the Dead]]. [[Gehennom]] begins here, and it is no longer safe to [[pray]].
 * The lairs of [[Asmodeus]], [[Juiblex]], [[Baalzebub]], and [[Orcus]].
 * A second upward [[staircase]] to [[Vlad's Tower]].
 * The [[Wizard's Tower]]; it is visible but not accessible from here.
-* A [[Fake Tower]] containing a random [[amulet]], and another Fake Tower containing a [[magic portal]] by which the Wizard's Tower may be entered.
 To win the game, it is necessary to complete these tasks:
 * Gather seven candles, possibly in [[Izchak]]'s [[lighting shop]] in [[Mine Town]].
 * Complete the [[Quest]] and get the [[Bell of Opening]].
-* Obtain the [[Candelabrum of Invocation]] from [[Vlad the Impaler]].
