The Gnomish Mines end at level 8 or 9 of the mines and will always contain a luckstone. There are three versions of Mine's End.

Version 1: The Mimic of the Mines

This level contains 7 secret doors; behind one of them is the luckstone, other piles also contain a loadstone and mimics at random

Version 2: The Gnome King's Wine Cellar

This version contains six guaranteed potions of booze (as the name would suggest). The luckstone is at the chamber in the far right; the blank tiles are rock that needs to be dug out to reach this chamber. The chamber also contains two each of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and amethysts.

Version 3: The Catacombs

The mazes in this level are random generated. The level 'walls', the large chambers and the possible locations of the luckstone are fixed. There are three possible locations of the luckstone, of which one contains nothing and the other a loadstone. The luck- and loadstone lie on a level teleporter. A possible level layout is given below.
