đ The Wizard's Tower is a heavily fortified, multi-level structure in Gehennom housing the Wizard of Yendor and the Book of the Dead.
Location: The Wizard's Tower consists of three separate levels extending upwards. These levels are strictly chained together:
- The Top Level is generated between levels 10 and 11 of Gehennom.
- The Middle Level is always exactly 1 level below the Top Level.
- The Bottom Level (the base of the tower) is exactly 2 levels below the Top Level, placing it between levels 12 and 13 of Gehennom.
âšī¸ Note for Beginners: As you descend through Gehennom, you will encounter the exterior of the Wizard's Tower on three consecutive floors before you can actually enter it. On each of these floors, you will find a large, inaccessible square structure in the middle of the map. You cannot access the tower from these floors by normal stairs, digging, or secret doors. The actual entrance is surprisingly located further down in Gehennom, hidden inside a completely different level.
đĒ Entry
To enter the Wizard's Tower, you must find a magic portal located deep within Gehennom, below the bottom level of the tower itself.
This portal is hidden inside one of two Fake Wizard's Towers. These decoy structures appear identical from the outside, but only one contains the portal that will transport you to the bottom level of the true Wizard's Tower.
âšī¸ Characteristics
- The Book of the Dead: On the top level sits the Wizard of Yendor. Upon his defeat, he will drop the Book of the Dead, the final item required to enter Moloch's Sanctum.
đ§ââī¸ The Wizard of Yendor
The Wizard of Yendor (often referred to simply as "Rodney" by players) is one of the primary antagonists of the game.
- He is an incredibly powerful spellcaster.
- Immortality: Once you kill the Wizard for the first time, he will repeatedly resurrect and harass you for the rest of the game, casting spells, cursing your inventory, and summoning monsters.
