You will get a boxed message telling you of this<!-- need image of the message -->. A demonic fortress is found usually once per area containing sufficient mountain tiles. Demons and other foul beasties might be located at the bottom of the fortress; higher up may be hordes of random undead and skeletal creatures. The bottom of each fortress is connected to [[Hell]] through slade walls, so demons spawning there can not immediately cross into the fortress and swarm you. Hell is only deemed reached once those final walls are dug out. |

As there is plenty of space inside a demonic fortress to set up traps and defense, they seem to be the easiest way to safely enter Hell. It is also quite possible to reach the bottom layer of the fortress through controlled cave-ins without ever having to fight a single enemy. |

Zooming to this will tell you the approximate location of the fortress. |

In the center of the lowest smoothed floor (pictured, and this will be the reference point for this description) will be a glowing floor and upright masterpiece {{L|adamantine}} weapon. Underneath the glowing floor is an upward staircase leading into a chamber of rough-hewn {{L|slade}} full of procedurally generated demons. Underneath that chamber is a connected chamber full of other procedurally generated demons. |
