đ The Big Room is a notorious, massive level known for its high danger and lack of cover.
Location: Located between levels 10 and 12 of the Dungeons of Doom.
The Big Room often appears as a single, giant room that takes up almost the entire map, but in GnollHack it can have several different layouts.
âšī¸ Characteristics
- Layouts: There are 10 different layout variants in GnollHack. Some are traditional giant open rooms, while others include unlit sections, pillars, slanted walls, an "Eye" shape, or even a fog maze or a forest.
- Inhabitants: The level spawns a high density of monsters upon generation (typically 18 random monsters).
- Line of Sight: In the open variants, every monster on the level can see you almost immediately upon entering, meaning spellcasters, breath weapons, and ranged attackers will all target you simultaneously. In maze-like variants (like the fog maze), line of sight is restricted.
