The Vestibule
Band B · The Ante-Hell · depths 1,001–1,500
Enemies of The Vestibule
A floor of this zone is a road of packs drawn from these 18 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 chaos: 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
SWIFT- Swings on a 28% shorter interval — the same damage arrives as more, smaller hits
CHILLING- Turns 30% of its physical damage into cold
OF THE EXECUTIONER- you recover half as much within 4.5 tiles of it
CORRUPTING- a third of its damage is chaos
SUPPRESSING- avoids 40% of your statuses
EXPOSING- every blow cuts your resistances by 15 for 4 s
BRUTE- +30% health and +10% damage, but swings 35% slower — rare, heavy slams
STEADFAST- your stuns land on it half as often
DEADLY- +20% critical strike chance
STORMSHIELDED- +75% lightning resistance (capped at 75%)
Every modifier, with the rules for how many a floor can carry, is listed under Enemy modifiers.
Bosses
The zone's gates rotate between 3 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.
The Bannerless Onegates 1,100, 1,400…

Above lies The Gates of Hell. Clear the last gate and The Muster Yard opens at depth 1,501.
