There are several special rooms which appear randomly through Gloomy Caves levels 2-5. These include
* '''[[Dwarven Minefield''' ]] - a large room filled with covered mines and many items. No creatures spawn in this room, although they may wander in and set off a chain reaction of explosions. It is very important to walk carefully through this room, and use some sort of trap-detection or fire-resistance.* '''[[Werewolf Lair''' ]] - A small room shaped like a fat plus sign, which contains a [[werewolf]] and a dozen deadly wolves. These wolves have a very accurate attack so it is important to have protection on your limbs before attempting to defeat them. This particular werewolf always carries a [[Scrolls|scroll of enchant armor]] and a [[Scrolls|scroll of enchant weapon]].* '''[[Merka|Merka's Shop''' ]] - [[Merka]] is a shopkeeper in Gloomy Caves. He and the monsters have a mutual agreement not to attack one another. You may buy or sell items from him, but beware that you do not accidentally kick his door down.* '''Secret [[Chest Rooms''' ]] - There may be one or two small secret are a couple large easily accessible square shaped rooms, with smaller inner rooms. The inner room has walls made of meteoric steel. These rooms have several traps and a large chest in the center with one or two special items. There are no doorways leading to these rooms the inner room so you will have to find some other way to get in.* [[Secret Rooms]] - In addition to the chest rooms, there may be one or two small secret rooms. These are similar to the inner chest rooms in that they have meteoric steel walls and a large treasure chest in the center. However, they are also lined with traps and are hidden so you will have to detect them and access themsomehow.
