The Furnace Roots

Band D · The Foundations · depths 57,501–66,000

Beneath the floor of hell. 9 zones of 8,500 depths each, 85 gates to a zone. Each zone carries 27 enemies and 6 bosses that take turns at its gates.

Enemies of The Furnace Roots

A floor of this zone is a road of packs drawn from these 27 monsters, led by the depth's named one. Their numbers climb with depth, not with the name. Every 100th depth is a boss gate, and the boss leads that floor instead.

The zone's element is fire: every monster's blow is a mix of damage types and carries a share of it — most of a Mage's blow, a sixth or so of everyone else's beside their type's own. Each name reads as a type — what every type carries and asks of you is under the Bestiary.

Preview any floor

Pick a depth to see its card: the monster that leads the floor, its numbers and its modifiers, as the game rolls them (needs JavaScript).

The depth's card

The card of a few depths across the zone, as the game rolls it: the numbers every body of that floor is built from. The leader carries 80% of the card's health and 60% of its damage, with the card's modifiers; the pack's bodies carry a share of it without them. Modifiers are rolled per depth; the ones shown are what that exact floor's leader carries.

What those modifiers do

STEADFAST: your stuns land on it half as often
SHOCKING: +35% shock chance; a quarter of its physical damage becomes lightning
RETALIATING: strikes back at once when one blow takes more than 8% of its health and you stand within 2.5 tiles
CORRUPTING: a third of its damage is chaos
PIERCING: penetrates 25% of your resistances
FROSTBOUND: +75% cold resistance (capped at 75%)
UNWOUNDABLE: your bleeds and poisons on it do not stack: one at a time
BRUTE: +30% health and +10% damage, but swings 35% slower — rare, heavy slams
LUCKY: 15% of its blows land twice over
WITHERING: every blow leaves damage over time on you: 15% of the blow each second for 4 s
THICK-SKINNED: Overwhelm and armor you ignore count at half

Every modifier, with the rules for how many a floor can carry, is listed under Enemy modifiers.

Bosses

The zone's gates rotate between 6 bosses, one every 100 depths. A boss's card carries more health and damage than the depth's regular monster; the exact numbers are on each boss's page.
