You can dig a shaft to the underworld in fortress mode, then abandon and find it in Adventure mode. Also, forgotten beasts occasionaly escape an you might get quests to kill them.

Yeah, getting quests will mark some caves on your map, these can be used to gain access to the underworld. The cave entrances are a bit more tricky to find now though.

I love the new cave entrances.   ;D

Everything seems so huge down in the depths though - I'm worried I'll get lost.

The best thing to do if you get lost is to go up a few Z-levels, look for the "rampwell", then work your way back from there to your current location or a nearby landmark.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

You can eat vermin in caverns, and there's usually quite a bit of water. Even if you can't find water, you can carry around blood, then throw it at a wall to get infinitely more. You can drink blood.

Just out of curiosity, what DOES Dwarf Fortress smell like?
