In [[UnNetHack]], there are two possible maps for '''Asmodeus' Lair'''.

==First map==
{{main|Asmodeus' Lair}}
The first possible map for the lair of [[Asmodeus]] is the same as in ''[[NetHack]]''.

==Second map==
The second possible map for the lair of Asmodeus is based on the [[Gehennom (Lethe patch)#Asmodeus' lair|Lethe patch map]]:

There are four random pieces of [[armor]], four random [[weapons]], two random [[potion]]s and three random [[scroll]]s scattered across the level. The floor and all walls are [[undiggable]].

The room containing the up [[stair]] has a cursed -2 [[helm of opposite alignment]] on the stairway's square, a cursed [[loadstone]] and a cursed [[amulet of strangulation]] on the adjacent square below it, and an [[imp]] in the corner to the right of the stairway.

A path leads from this room to a set of double [[door]]s, and behind them is an outer room, which has two [[fire trap]]s, two [[magic trap]]s, a [[spiked pit]], and an [[anti-magic trap]] at the marked locations&mdash;there is a [[potion of polymorph]] on the square north of the anti-magic trap, and a single [[gold piece]] is placed on the three marked squares and the anti-magic trap's square. The left pair of doors lead to a two-square room that contains a [[land mine]] and a magic trap, both with a single gold piece on each of their squares; the land mine also has a cursed [[scroll of earth]] on its square, while the magic trap also has a cursed [[scroll of fire]] on its square.

A set of [[secret corridor]]s branching north from the hallway between the up stair room and trap room leads to the outer chamber, which has four [[hell hound]]s. To the east is a closet, and two other hallways branch out from the north and west parts of the room: the north hallway is blocked partway through by a [[polymorph trap]] and leads to a room with a [[blue jelly]]; the west hallway is blocked by a secret corridor that has a [[scroll of teleportation]] in front of it. This west hallway leads to a room that has six [[fountain]]s, four random {{mcsl|&}} and two random {{mcsl|V}}, with a [[fire trap]] between the rightmost pair of fountains and a [[rust trap]] between the center pair&mdash;this room is connected to a group of [[lemure pit]]s (marked with "lmr") by a pair of closed [[drawbridge]]s placed over a river of [[moat]] squares that divides the level into halves.

Beyond the lemure pits is a set of rooms similar to the central structure of Asmodeus' Lair in ''NetHack'': an anti-magic trap and [[sleeping gas trap]] are placed at the marked locations at the first room, and the north doorway leads into a narrower room with a [[secret door]] partway through. The next room contains a spiked pit with a secret door leading into another room, which in turn has a secret door leading to a fake "throne room" like the one that Asmodeus normally occupies in ''NetHack''. This room has a [[giant mimic]] in the guise of the down stair with four magic traps surrounding it, and a random {{mcsl|&}} is generated in each corner with a [[potion of invisibility]] on their square. A secret door in the southern wall of the false "throne room" leads to a 3x4 room that has three fire traps, three [[squeaky board]]s, and two sleeping [[barbed devil]]s&mdash;its southern walls consist entirely of doors leading to the real throne room (not to be confused with the [[Throne room|special room type]]).

Within the throne room is Asmodeus himself, standing on the square directly north of the down stair&mdash;to the direct south is a [[throne]] with an [[incubus]] asleep on its square. A pair of sleeping [[marilith]]s are generated to the left of them, and a pair of sleeping succubi are generated to the right. A secret door on the east wall leads into a series of branching corridors that contain a magic trap, a fire trap, a spiked pit, and an anti-magic trap&mdash;this leads to a small treasure room containing an [[amulet of change]] and a cursed [[ring of hunger]], along with three piles of 500 gold pieces that are each accompanied by a random {{mcsl|&}} and a [[named]] cursed [[gem]]:

* a [[diamond]] named The Tears of Koth
* a [[ruby]] named The Heart of Cassanova
* an [[emerald]] named The Eye of Hera

The treasure room also has a giant mimic imitating a part of the eastern wall, whose square connects the room to the river running through the level.

{{todo|Describe lit/unlit regions and teleport regions.}}

==Strategy==
The treasure room can be reached by a [[hero]] that has [[levitation]] or [[flying]], several [[wands of cold]] or the ability to reliably cast [[cone of cold]], allowing them to bypass a majority of the hostile monsters and traps that await them.
