Description                                                                                                                 .

Level 8 is a sprawling subterranean complex of towering, rocky heights and deep, twisting burrows. The frigid caverns within the level and its resulting difficulty of navigation have rendered it effectively incapable of measurement; as a result, few have ventured into the level’s depths, and even fewer have made it back out.

Due to its expansive structure, all noises emitted within Level 8 echo extensively after ricocheting off its rocky walls, revealing the greater extent of its depths. Lower areas of the level often contain small bodies of stagnant, frigid water. While it has been deemed as relatively safe to drink, it should be avoided if one lacks the proper equipment to contain it; strangely, an inexplicably high number of wanderers have been reported to end up falling in it and drowning after simply kneeling to collect it, leading to various theories regarding the true nature of the water. No light appears to penetrate past the water's surface, and its temperature has been described as frigid to an unnatural extent; despite this, it flows freely throughout the level, creating ponds and streams that remarkably remain in a liquid state far below freezing temperature.

Exits

Holes in the composition of Level 6 or the depths of Level 7 commonly lead to Level 8.

While there are no verified, reliable exits from Level 8, many groups of wanderers have found their way out of the level. Most accounts of escape detail finding a small tunnel or vertically descending hole leading into another level, with a recently submitted report describing a possible but dangerous method of exiting via the level's pits of water.
