The Hollow Ways
Band A · The Land of the Dead · depths 201–300
Enemies of The Hollow Ways
A floor of this zone is a road of packs drawn from these 9 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 physical: 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
CORRUPTING- a third of its damage is chaos
UNWOUNDABLE- your bleeds and poisons on it do not stack: one at a time
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.
Boss
Keeper of the Ways holds the gate at depth 300. A boss's card carries more health and damage than the depth's regular monster; the exact numbers are on each boss's page.

Above lies The Silent Necropolis. Clear the last gate and The Sunless River opens at depth 301.
