 The design of this level is an homage to the early [[text adventure]] game [[Wikipedia:Hunt the Wumpus|Hunt the Wumpus]]. That game featured a cave with 20 dark rooms, 3 connecting passages per room, bats, 2 bottomless pit traps, and a sleeping wumpus. If you fall in a pit trap here, you will be told, ''"Fortunately it has a bottom after all..."'' The object was to avoid the hazards, deduce the location of the wumpus, and shoot an arrow at the wumpus to win.

 [[NetHack 3.3.1]] reworked the home and locate levels, introducing the labyrinth seen in the current Quest and the wumpus cave. The end level, though, is still the same one where the Goblin King once held court. The various messages are mostly similar to what the old Elf quest used.

 '''Warning:''' It is highly likely that one of the centaurs you have to deal with while travelling through the maze (on your way in or out) will have a wand of death or other attack wand. Have reflection to deal with this problem.
