On | 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. | ||

Eight | Eight strata below Bethesda Susa you will find the {{favilink|Alchemist}} in his workshop. Speaking with him grants an [[achievements|achievement]]. Be wary of provocation, once hostile the alchemist can, and will, go out in a blaze of glory. | ||

The 11th | 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. | ||

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. | ||
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) {{favilink|juicing cannibal}} carrying a fully operational {{favilink|missile launcher}}. If the cannibal explodes open any of the chambers, the player may be forced to confront: | |||

These deeper | These deeper strata of Bethesda Susa are not connected to the rest of the level with stairs, and as such are inaccessible without a {{favilink|spiral borer}} or similar means of digging downwards. They are procedurally generated, using the generic 'ruins' tiles and layout, and are populated principally by lower level creatures found elsewhere in Bethesda Susa. Visiting them is optional. | ||
