===Surface===
=== Surface ===
A fairly typical jungle exterior with new faction creatures and a down staircase.

{{Qud text|Strata: 0}}
 
{{Qud text|Temperature: &G25°}}
 
A fairly typical jungle exterior with marble ruins and a staircase leading downwards. Commonly populated by {{favilink|cragmensch boulderer|plural}}, {{favilink|cragmensch brainer|brainers}}, and the occasional {{favilink|cragmensch luminary|luminary}}.
 
<br style=clear:both/>
=== Ruined Wharf ===
<div style=float:left>[[File:Ruined_wharf_Bethesda_Susa.png|thumb|left|An example layout of the ruined wharf.]]</div>
{{Qud text|Stratum: 1}}


===ruined wharf===
{{Qud text|Temperature: &G16°}}


An underground river passes through here from the zones to the north and south.
An underground river passes through here from the zones to the north and south.


===healing pools===
<br style=clear:both/>
The first of three similar levels, each containing a unique [[trolls|troll]]. This level is guarded by {{favilink|Jotun, Who Parts Limbs}}, who carries the {{favilink|bronze key}} needed to unlock the down staircase. If you are neutral with the Trolls faction, you may trade with them for the key.
=== Healing Pools ===
<div style=float:left>[[File:Healing_pool_1_Bethesda_Susa.png|thumb|left|An example layout of a healing pool stratum.]]</div>
 
{{Qud text|Strata: 2, 3, 4}}
 
{{Qud text|Temperature: &G7°, &C-2°, -11°}}
 
These three strata are quite similar, each containing a unique [[Trolls|Troll]]. The first healing pool is guarded by {{favilink|Jotun, Who Parts Limbs}}, who carries the {{favilink|bronze key}} needed to unlock the down staircase. If you are neutral with the Trolls faction, you may simply trade for the key instead of defeating him.
 
The second healing pool is guarded by {{favilink|Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice}}, who holds the {{favilink|silver key}} needed to proceed. Again, they may be traded with if the player's faction reputation is sufficient.
 
The final healing pool is defended by the invisible {{favilink|Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path}}, the third and most dangerous of the trolls. Haggabah possesses the {{favilink|gold key}} required to advance. Unlike the previous Trolls, trading with Haggabah is a bit more challenging due to his [[Invisibility]].
 
<br style=clear:both/>
=== Abandoned Ward ===
{{Qud text|Stratum: 5}}
 
{{Qud text|Temperature: &C-20°}}
 
On the 5th stratum down is a {{favilink|chrome platform}} which can be used to skip the next 5 strata, taking the player all the way down to the 11th stratum. Stand on it and activate the {{favilink page|control switch (elevator)}} to go down. This same elevator can be recalled to anywhere in its path by using the button stationed there, and can be used to re-ascend to this stratum.
 
<br style=clear:both/>
 
=== Ruined Ward ===
<div style=float:left>[[File:Ruined_ward_Bethesda_Susa_the_alchemists_abode.png|thumb|left|The alchemist's humble abode.]]</div>
{{Qud text|Strata: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}}
 
{{Qud text|Temperature: &c-29°, -38°, -47°, &B-56°, -65°}}
 
Eight strata below Bethesda Susa you will find the {{favilink|Alchemist}} in their workshop. Speaking with them grants an [[achievements|achievement]]. Be wary of provocation, once hostile the alchemist can, and will, go out in a blaze of glory (Meaning that they will attack with a [[neutron flux|neutronic]] explosion, which will likely kill the player character).
 
<br style=clear:both/>
 
=== Abandoned Ward 2 ===
{{Qud text|Strata: 11, 12}}
 
{{Qud text|Temperature: &B-74°, &b-83°}}


The next level is guarded by {{favilink|Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice}}, who holds the {{favilink|silver key}} needed to proceed. Similarly to Jotun, they may be traded with if the player's faction reputation is sufficient.
The 11th stratum holds the destination platform for the elevator from the 5th level. If the elevator platform is not present, it may be called to this strata using the control switch. If wanting to descend, the player can jump into the {{favilink|deep shaft}} to arrive at the 12th stratum, or can just take the stairs.


The final healing pools floor is defended by the invisible {{favilink|Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path}}, the third and most dangerous of the trolls. Haggabah possesses the {{favilink|gold key}} required to advance.

{{Qud text|Stratum: 13}}


===abandoned ward===
{{Qud text|Temperature: &b-92°}}


On this level is a {{favilink|chrome platform}} which is an elevator that can be used to skip the next 5 floors. Stand on it and activate the {{favilink page|control switch (elevator)}} to go down. This same elevator can be recalled to anywhere in its path by using the button stationed there, and can be used to re-ascend to this floor.
On this stratum are four {{favilink|becoming nook|plural}}.


===ruined ward===
<br style=clear:both/>
The third ruined ward, or the eighth floor of the dungeon, is the only place you can meet and speak to the potentially deadly {{favilink|Alchemist}}, which grants an [[achievements|achievement]].


===abandoned ward 2===
=== Cryobarrios ===
The 11th level holds the destination platform for the elevator from the 5th level. If the elevator platform is not present, it may be called to this floor using the control switch, or the player can jump into the {{favilink|deep shaft}} where it would be as an alternative to taking the stairs down.

If the player has no cold resist at all, they can freeze solid on these strata.
There are six cryogenic chambers on the 14th level, and the intact ones are filled with {{favilink|Cryogenic mist}}. A {{favilink|phase spider}} has been spinning {{favilink|phase web|plural}} at the east end of the floor, which are one possible way of passing through the {{favilink|fused security door}} sealing the stairs downward.


Floor 15 contains six more intact cryogenic chambers, several of which contain (in a frozen state) potentially game-ending creatures. Also, there is a (non-frozen) {{favilink|juicing cannibal}} carrying a fully operational {{favilink|missile launcher}}.

===Temple of the Rock===
If the player has sufficient reputation to enter the holy places of the [[Mechanimist]] faction, this is a peaceful level, and the player can even loot the chests found here without provoking hostility.

Surface

An example of the surface level layout of Bethesda Susa.

Strata: 0

Temperature: 25°

A fairly typical jungle exterior with marble ruins and a staircase leading downwards. Commonly populated by cragmensch boulderers, brainers, and the occasional luminary.


Ruined Wharf

An example layout of the ruined wharf.

Stratum: 1

Temperature: 16°

An underground river passes through here from the zones to the north and south.


Healing Pools

An example layout of a healing pool stratum.

Strata: 2, 3, 4

Temperature: 7°, -2°, -11°

These three strata are quite similar, each containing a unique Troll. The first healing pool is guarded by Jotun, Who Parts Limbs, who carries the bronze key needed to unlock the down staircase. If you are neutral with the Trolls faction, you may simply trade for the key instead of defeating him.

The second healing pool is guarded by Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice, who holds the silver key needed to proceed. Again, they may be traded with if the player's faction reputation is sufficient.

The final healing pool is defended by the invisible Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path, the third and most dangerous of the trolls. Haggabah possesses the gold key required to advance. Unlike the previous Trolls, trading with Haggabah is a bit more challenging due to his Invisibility.


Abandoned Ward

Stratum: 5

Temperature: -20°

On the 5th stratum down is a chrome platform which can be used to skip the next 5 strata, taking the player all the way down to the 11th stratum. Stand on it and activate the control switch to go down. This same elevator can be recalled to anywhere in its path by using the button stationed there, and can be used to re-ascend to this stratum.


Ruined Ward

The alchemist's humble abode.

Strata: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Temperature: -29°, -38°, -47°, -56°, -65°

Eight strata below Bethesda Susa you will find the alchemist in their workshop. Speaking with them grants an achievement. Be wary of provocation, once hostile the alchemist can, and will, go out in a blaze of glory (Meaning that they will attack with a neutronic explosion, which will likely kill the player character).


Abandoned Ward 2

Strata: 11, 12

Temperature: -74°, -83°

The 11th stratum holds the destination platform for the elevator from the 5th level. If the elevator platform is not present, it may be called to this strata using the control switch. If wanting to descend, the player can jump into the deep shaft to arrive at the 12th stratum, or can just take the stairs.


Cybernetics Ward

Cybernetics ward Bethesda Susa.png

Stratum: 13

Temperature: -92°

On this stratum are four becoming nooks.


Cryobarrios

Stairs to stratum 15.

Strata: 14, 15

Temperature: -101°, -110°

If the player has no cold resist at all, they can freeze solid on these strata.

There are six cryogenic chambers on the 14th stratum, and the intact ones are filled with cryogenic mist. A phase spider has been spinning phase webs at the east end of the floor, which are one possible way of passing through the fused security door sealing the stairs downward.

Saad Amus, deep in an icy slumber.

Stratum 15 contains six more intact cryogenic chambers, several of which contain (in a frozen state) potentially game-ending creatures. Also, there is a (non-frozen) juicing cannibal carrying a fully operational missile launcher. If the cannibal explodes open any of the chambers, the player may be forced to confront:

To the west is another chrome platform and control switch to go down a single stratum to the final level.


Temple of the Rock

Temple of the Rock layout.

Stratum: 16 Temperature: 25°

If the player has sufficient reputation to enter the holy places of the Mechanimist faction, this is a peaceful level, and the player can even loot the chests found here without provoking hostility. If not, they may be forced to confront a variety of dangerous Mechanimists, including Phinae Hoshaiah, High Priest of the Rock.

The player can make their way to the baetyl located slightly east of center of the zone to advance the Decoding the Signal quest. The control switch behind the baetyl will reactivate the entrance elevator leading back to the previous floor.

A lone disciple of the Sightless Way will always spawn somewhere on this floor, though the Mechanimists are not friendly to them.
