Zone Information
The Sludgenest appears on the main wilderness map of Maj'Eyal (in the frozen north) at character level 30 or higher, but not in all games. There is a 30% chance of the event occurring, unless you are a Thalore, in which case there is a 100% chance.
Level 1 of the Sludgenest is a relatively normal forest area populated by jelly and ooze enemies. The entrance to the Sludgenest proper is somewhere in the middle of the level.
Level 2 is a maze of slime tunnels. Every 10 turns on this level, one of the wall tiles turns into a new jelly or ooze monster and attacks you, so you'll have to keep moving to not be overwhelmed (unlike most levels, which permit you to fully rest up between each encounter). Enemies generated in this way give no experience, although they do drop loot, so a player who's willing to grind can find a stay here very lucrative. (ToME in general is designed to discourage grinding, so this may change in a future version.) The walls-turned-enemies get stronger over time as you stay here longer.
Level 3 is a small (15x15) area where you meet the Corrupted Oozemancer and several minions. Victory will unlock the Oozemancer class. The walls here will also turn into enemies regularly, and they seem to turn into purple enemies with a greater frequency too.
