'''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 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 the players reputation with [[Mollusks]]. [[Mutants]] with a good faction relationship can learn the [[Cloaca Surprise]] through preforming the [[water ritual]] with Slog, using one dram of {{favilink|slime}}. Alternatively, Slog can be killed, and their corpse [[butchery|butchered]] to obtain {{favilink|Slog's annunclus}}. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
* Before game version 202.78, the strata below the Cloaca were named: Fetid pools (strata 6-8), Deep Cells (strata 9-14), and Oubliette (stratum 15). However, these deeper levels were procedurally generated, using the generic 'ruins' tiles and layout, and were populated principally by creatures found elsewhere in Golgotha, as well as the tier-appropriate spawns of a ruins zone for that z-level. They were not connected to the levels above with stairs, and as such, were inaccessible without a {{favilink|Spiral borer}} or similar means of digging downwards. These strata have since been replaced with generic subterranean caves. | |||
