* ShownTheirWork: At one point during the train ride with Katia acting as a scoop, Hekla says "There are many wonders in a cow's head.", which Eva answers with a grin, leaving Carl confused. It's an Icelandic expression (Það Eru Margar Undur Í Höfuðkúpu) that means "The world is nuts.".

* InformedAbility: Hekla's a psychiatrist, which should include the ability to read people, not just manipulate them. It should also include the requirement to help people become better, rather than worse. Not only does Hekla fail to understand Carl's true personality, she also turns Eva, who had anger issues requiring Hekla's treatment before coming into the dungeon, into a weapon to be wielded against her fellow crawlers.

''Together, we will burn it all to the ground.''
-->-- ''The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook''
After the debacle of the last floor, Carl and Mordecai are hoping for a simple, easy floor. Instead, the Royal Court find themselves in the Iron Tangle, a confusing mess of thousands of different railway tracks, tunneled directly through the stone. The entire floor is one massive, moving puzzle, just waiting to break before the crawlers have a chance to solve it.
The newest member of the Royal Court, Katia, proves to be more of an asset than anyone expected. With Carl finding exploits for her race and class, and Donut coaching her on her image, she rises to become a popular and useful crawler. Unfortunately, eventually she will return to Brynhild's Daughters, and Carl still remembers Odette's warning about Hekla.
As problems mount and everything begins to spiral out of control even more than usual, they lose access to Mordecai for almost the entire floor. But in the process, Carl finds something interesting. Something that might be the secret they need to survive not just the floor, but the entire dungeon.
It is called ''The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook''.
''Dungeon Crawler Carl: The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook'' is the third book in the ''Dungeon Crawler Carl'' series by Matt Dinniman. It covers the fourth floor of the Dungeon. The sequel is ''Literature/TheGateOfTheFeralGods''.
