Brown sludge is a harmful common liquid in the depths of Golgotha. An item or creature covered in brown sludge is sludgy..

Becoming prone in brown sludge chooses three random metal objects in the creatures inventory or equipment.

Brown sludge splashes into your mouth. You wince at the metallic taste.

There is a 75% chance for each object to rust.

Brown sludge (along with green goo and black ooze) has a chance of containing sewage eels.

Sources of Brown Sludge

  • Pools of brown sludge can be found on the floor of  Golgotha.
  •  brown jells will explode upon death with an 80% chance of brown sludge spawning in each adjecent tile. Each tile of brown sludge will have a 25% chance of containing a hidden  sewage eel.
