*Signs found in the level indicate that it takes place on the 512<sup>th</sup> level. Assuming the floors start at ground level and are of dimensions similar to modern skyscrapers, this would make the level more than two and a half times as high as the [[wikipedia:Burj Khalifa|Burj Khalifa]], or more than 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) high.
