This page contains some files that may spoil your nethack game. So read at your own risk. If you don't want to read too much, loot at the hints page. There are only hints and tricks that don't tell you the whole technique.
Here at this spoiler page are these hint files too, to prevent you from checking both places.

There is a whole new page about spoilers for 3.3.0. Please check these if you play that version.

If you are missing some file here or if you have one that should be presented here to, then mail me.

Please also have a look at Kevin's Spoilers, he revised a complete set of spoilers for 3.2.2.
