Quest Item
(In-game plural: plus signs)
Obtained From
- The Enormous Greater-Than Sign
- Typographical Clutter (one time drop)

- Plus? Plus what?
When Used
- From inventory, before The Oracle's major consultation:
|
| You have no idea what this thing is for. |
- From inventory, after consultation:
|
|
| Following The Oracle's advice, you treat the plus sign as a book, and read it. It describes, in great detail, a place called the Dungeons of Doom. The first chapter teaches you that the Enormous Greater-Than Sign is actually the stairway leading to these dungeons, and the rest of the book teaches you how to recognize the items and monsters contained within its halls.
After you're done reading the book, it vanishes in a puff of obsolescence. |
You dig through your inventory and identify all of the crap you already picked up down there:
 | You acquire some small boxes |
| You acquire some large boxes |
| You acquire some magic whistles |
 | You acquire some clumps of royal jelly(s) |
 | You acquire some mind flayer corpses |
 | You acquire some cornuthaums |
 | You acquire some vorpal blades |
| You acquire some rings of aggravate monster(s) |
Notes
- Grants access to The Dungeons of Doom.
References
- In NetHack, a plus sign represents a spellbook (or a closed door).
- In the use text, "a puff of obsolescence" alludes to the message received in NetHack after using a throne, namely "The throne vanishes in a puff of logic.", which refers in turn to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
