'''Golgotha''' is an early game dungeon that the player is sent to as part of the first quest for the [[Barathrumites]], "[[More Than a Willing Spirit]]." The structure only occupies the center zone of the parasang; outskirts both above and underground generate as normal {{favilink|jungle|jungle}} and subterranean jungle zones, respectively. | '''Golgotha''' is an early game dungeon that the player is sent to as part of the first quest for the [[Barathrumites]], "[[More Than a Willing Spirit]]."

The outside of Golgotha appears as a jungle level with one sealed central building and four randomly placed outbuildings, each containing a row of three {{favilink|slimy shaft|plural}}. The central building contains a {{favilink|deep shaft}} that leads directly to the bottom of Golgotha, and a {{favilink id|DoorSwitch}} that will unlock the door from inside. | The outside of Golgotha appears as a jungle level with one sealed central building and four randomly placed outbuildings, each containing a row of three {{favilink|slimy shaft|plural}}.

When ready, the player can jump down one of the slimy shafts to the first floor. | |||
One advanced strategy is to {{favilink|phasing|phase}}, {{favilink|burrowing claws|burrow}}, {{favilink|teleportation|teleport}}, or {{favilink|pickaxe|mine}} your way through the {{favilink|tarnished chrome}} directly into the central building, and jump straight down the elevator shaft- but your character cannot survive this without special preparation. | |||

The next four floors are all randomly generated in the same way: the player drops in from a shaft in front of a set of {{favilink|conveyor drive unit|plural}} driving {{favilink|conveyor belt|plural}}. The player must then choose how to make their way to the next set of slimy shafts leading down: whether by standing and fighting to clear an area, or potentially by riding the conveyor belt as quickly as possible to the next level while dodging hazards.

In contrast to the quickly moving conveyor belts and hazards of the trash chutes, the Cloaca is a relatively static area full of {{favilink|trash}} and sewage. The player will encounter one rare {{favilink|chest}}, a dysfunctional waydroid, and the unique creature {{favilink|Slog of the Cloaca}}. Whether Slog is friend or foe depends on their faction reputation toward the player ([[Mollusks]].) [[Mutants]] with a good faction relationship may treat with Slog via the [[water ritual]] (with one dram of [[slime]]), allowing them to learn how to cook [[Cloaca Surprise]]. Alternatively, Slog could be killed, and their corpse butchered using the [[Butchery]] skill to obtain {{favilink|Slog's annunclus}}. | In contrast to the quickly moving conveyor belts and hazards of the trash chutes, the Cloaca is a relatively static area full of {{favilink|trash}} and sewage.

Although the main objective is on the fifth floor and there are no natural stairs that lead below, Golgotha does extend further. However, there is no unique generation besides the name of the location, and will only generate using normal level generation found in typical {{favilink|ruins}}. The types of creatures found will include the ones found in the higher levels, as well as the tier-appropriate spawns of a ruins zone for that z-level. | Although the main objective is on the fifth floor and there are no natural stairs that lead below, Golgotha does extend further.
