** There are two ways to open [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace The Cursed Door]] [[BonusDungeon to Nihil Land]]. Either use the key dropped by [[ClimaxBoss Emperor Evulz]] after you beat him, or use a series of [[AscendedGlitch Ascended Glitches]] to bypass the Door's magic barrier. Doing the latter nets you the InfinityPlusOneSword [[DiskOneNuke half a game earlier than usual]].
