### Where it all begins.

The surface of the world of **It Lurks Below**. On world creation, some  Cobblestone and  Iron Ore usually spawns such that it is accessible straight from the surface. This layer does not refresh when using the World Book, and so it is advisable to not waste resources found on this layer. They are sold at the  General Store , but only in small quantities and buying from the store is cumbersome and costly. Trees are a sustainable resource of  Wood , granted you do not dig up the saplings and forget to replant them.

On the surface, there are two biomes: Normal surface and The Corruption of It. At night, monsters spawn around the surface. However, after you defeat  Commander Vile , they will no longer spawn. On the other hand, there is a small chance that at any time an Invasion will happen, spreading IT's corruption and making your NPCs temporarily inaccessible.

### Blocks

* Dirt
* Cobblestone

### Crafting Materials

* Sticks
* Rocks
* Tough Grass
* Plants

### Boss

 Commander Vile is the first boss in **It Lurks Below**. He is found in The Corruption of It biome on the surface. Defeating him is part of the Tutorial Quests.

### Strategy

* Commander Vile is very difficult to outrun, but you can prepare a column to block him, and make a hole to safely shoot through.
* This strategy works with  Sword and Shield and  Dual Swords as well.
* Using a  Scroll of Blessing may also help mitigate the danger.

### Rewards

Commander Vile drops a random quality weapon on death, proportional in strength to the player's level.

The first **layer** counting down, just below the Surface and above the Muddy Layer. Contains  Cobblestone , which is used in crafting low level Runes, and  Iron Ore , used for the Iron Armor. Since this layer does not refresh when using the World Book, it is advisable to not waste resources found on this layer. They are sold at the  General Store , but only in small quantities and buying from the store is cumbersome and costly.

## Strategy

Monsters here do not possess any special movement abilities and do not break blocks (on Normal Difficulty, that is). The most dangerous monsters in this layer are the  Frost Imp and the  Skeleton . Frost imps fire ice projectiles that can sometimes stun-lock a player in place, leading them to a quick and frustrating death. Skeletons use a shotgun type weapon and inflict a very high amount of damage, especially at short range.

## Blocks

The most common block in this layer is  Dirt , with a middle layer of dirt blocks and a background of nothing. There are also patches of  Cobblestone .

## Ores

The only ore in this layer is  Iron Ore .

The second **layer** counting down, just below the Dirt Layer and above the Ice Layer. Contains  Copper Ore , used for the Copper Armor.

## Strategy

This area is relatively easy as long as you come prepared, monsters would usually appear in the Ochre Calcite Mini Dungeons around the Layer in pretty large groups, but not outside of them, so take that to your advantage to get the copper armor before things go down hill.

You will know when you find the boss dungeon because it has a different background wall than the other mini dungeons that were to be found, these type of dungeons contain a huge amount of the highest level monster in the whole layer that spans across the entire map with occasional named monsters, which is a death wish to go without copper armor, or a good weapon drop from this layer.

## Blocks

The most common block in this layer is  Muddy Dirt , with a middle layer of  Muddy Dirt and a background of flesh walls. There are also patches of  Rough Stone . Dungeon walls are made of  Ochre Calcite and background block for the boss dungeon uses  Carved Slate .

## Ores

On Normal Difficulty, the only ore in this layer is  Copper Ore . On Nightmare Difficulty, the common ore is  Cobalt Ore and the rare one is  Bronzed Ore . On Hell Difficulty and beyond, the common ore is  Crimson Ore and the rare one is  Vibrantium Ore .

## Boss

 Gath'ack the Soulgazer is the second boss of **It Lurks Below**. It is found behind a red door in a dungeon at the bottom of the Muddy Layer after the player receives the quest "It calls from below".

It has three attacks. In order of damage from weakest to strongest, they are: small projectiles that go from his body in a ring, a large projectile, and a single beam that causes block destruction. In Nightmare and higher difficulties, Gath'ack increases speed and fires eight eye-beams in a randomly oriented compass pattern.

### Strategy

* Make sure you clear the Dungeon area before challenging Gath'ack and save as many health potions as possible.
* Make sure you pop several scrolls ( Scroll of Blessing ,  Scroll of Regeneration , etc).
* The eye-beams have a range cap of roughly 3/4 the width of the boss room; if you stand at the other side of the room, you may avoid taking the intense damage.
* Gath'ack fires the Eye-Beams after remaining stationary for a time. This resets any acceleration Gath'ack previously accumulated.
* It is highly recommended to stay away from Gath'ack when it becomes stationary, as the player may be hit by more than one beam at a time and suffer intense or even lethal damage.

Note: Bosses are the same level as the monsters found outside of their room.
### Rewards

* The first time Gath'ack is defeated, it drops the  Bag of recipes .
* A higher chance to drop some high quality items, including unique items.

* Belzor's only direct attack is a burst of more than 20 short range beams in a random starburst formation centered on its eye.
* More than one beam may hit the player at a time, causing severe or even lethal damage.
