The Amulet of Yendor is the only item at depth 26, in-between two skull pillars, at the center of the only room on that depth.
When obtained, you are prompted to choose between finishing the game or continuing to play.
If you select "Let's call it a day", you are returned to the Main Menu and that current game file is erased.
