Tal'Gath is generated meditating atop a crystal chest in the northwestern-most corner room. The chest has a 3⁄20 chance of containing a magic marker, and also contains two random potions, a random scroll, a random spellbook, a random amulet, and two random rings. One of the buildings is an abandoned barracks, and the other is a mind flayer nursery that the hero must pass through to reach Tal'gath.
In addition to the monsters placed at the locations marked above, the following monsters are generated at specific locations around the level: three giant cockroaches, a gulthias tree, two giant leeches, two creeping mounds, a crocodile, a giant crocodile, a troll, and a basilisk. Additionally, four awake beholders and two magical eyes are placed randomly at all but one of the locations marked e on the map, and two revenants and a skeleton warrior are also randomly generated around the level.
Four randomly placed falling rock traps, six other randomly placed traps, and 11 player monster corpses of the following roles shuffled among the marked locations: archeologist, barbarian, caveman, convict, healer, infidel, priestess, ranger, rogue, valkyrie, and wizard.
