The Salt Quarry
Band B · The Ante-Hell · depths 2,501–3,000
Enemies of The Salt Quarry
A floor of this zone is a road of packs drawn from these 12 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, lightning and cold in turn, floor by floor: 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
OF SHOCKING DEATH- leaves a pool of lightning where it falls
OF DAMAGING- the pack within 4.5 tiles hits 25% harder
ETHEREAL- takes 60% less from HITS, and double from damage over time
FIREPROOF- +75% fire resistance (capped at 75%)
OF ENDURANCE- gains an Endurance charge every second while hit recently: +15% physical reduction and +15% to the elements each, up to 3
SUPPRESSING- avoids 40% of your statuses
OF POWER- gains a Power charge on every hit it lands: +200% critical chance each, up to 3
VAMPIRIC- heals 1.5% of its maximum health with every blow it lands
Every modifier, with the rules for how many a floor can carry, is listed under Enemy modifiers.
Bosses
The zone's gates rotate between 2 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.
