 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.
