Description

Additional Picture(s)

The-Dark-Entrance

Really completely without sources of light.
You need to find the one Goblin with the Marked-Door-Key on it and mostly find some regular keys or push some levers to open closed Doors to get to the stairs down to the Abendoned-Mines.

picture shows example of the hidden room with light sprite and 6 rations.
, sometimes good hidden passages

Abandoned-Mines

]Often, but not always, like The-Dark-Entrance with very few light-source, there are cliffs you can jump or fall of to the Floor below.
Turrets, Doors you need to open with Levers and Bridge you can let appear by Levers are found on this floor.
Some Bridges can also collapse and you have to you a wand of teleportation, a scroll of teleportation or
Also there usually is at least on Owl-Door to be found here.
There are two exits to other Floors except the one for the way up to The-Dark-Entrance again.
The Abandoned Mines are the first Hub-area you encounter in this dunegon, one way leads you down to the optional Lower Mines, the other one down to The Maze

(screenshot shows an example of a “fluid wall” you can sometimes find on one of the first 4 Floors, the secret Room behind contains a chest with containing a “Mithril Monkey” and some loot)

Lower-Mines

The lower Mines are dark aswell and contains a series of doors locked by Keys, levers and pressure plates. Big poisonous Spiders made the lower Mines their home. You don’t have to explore these parts of the Dungeon, but you would miss out on 3 Healing-Potions, a Sigil and other Loot you could need on you journey trough the Dungeon.

The Maze

The Maze is the first Floor you don’t need a source of light to pass trough – though dark at some places is contains enough sources of light. The Maze is a Hub-area aswell and contains a way down to The Underdark, aswell as a way up to the Great Hall.

The Underdark

]The Underdark is – like the name suggests – a dark place wiht lots of groups of well armed and armoured Goblins. You encounter the Goblin-King here, it has the key to the Mithril-Mines aswell as some good loot. A room with panels on the wall advicing you to break the Flask with the Sprite also has some good loot, usually a Sigil and some other items. The Underdark is the only place with an Anvil for you to craft the Mithril-Shirt and use your Sigils.

placeholder

The Mithril Mine

As a Halfling Rouge you can toss your Ring of Invisibility in the Lava here for an Archivement.
With a Shovel you can Mine for Mithril at the glowing Rocks

The Heart of the Mountain

The Heart of the Montain is an other optional Floor, mostly made of a big lake with some small platforms of earth sprinkeld in and a circle of walkable ground on the corners.

placeholder

The Great Hall

Place the golden gem in on one of the pedastals
One of the three Owl-Doors is on this floor, one owl statue usually is in the library.

placeholder

The Bridge

Rocks spanning around the big abyss above the Mines and a Bridge guarded by lots of bands of Goblns, aswell as the mighty Balrog. These are the last obstacles before you can leave the Dungeon.

7. Secrets & Hints

~~~~ Secrets & Hints ~~~~
(about 50%)
(Maybe already told before in the Walk-trough, but I think they should be readable separate as-well)

* Always search for the Secret Door/Room on the first Floor and grab the 6x Rations,
also catch the special Sprite if you already have an empty Bottle, if you don’t have one do not empty and waste a potion but come back later to get it even if this means some backtracking
* All (poisonous) Spiders are afraid of the Light sprite in the Bottle –
they won’t attack after the first time and will flee – so you have to engage them with the light in your hand, dodge the first attack of each spider and can kill them of after with ease – sometimes they will attack another time if you go to far away / they lose the „fear“-status or or minimize the game(?).
* Unequip the Ring of Invisibility+3 the Halfling-Rouge gets after completing the Archivemnet imidiently after you started you run.
* The Glowing Weapons/Items some Classes can get after completing Archivements are some of the moste useful items in this DLC.
* Only throw the Sprite you catched on the first Floor in the Room on The-Underdark meant for that if you don’t need it anymore (e.g. you have enough Torches or a glowing Weapon).
* You can craft yourself a glowing Weapon (or Shield) with 1 to 2 magic Sigil.
* The Anvil for crafting is to be found in The-Underdark.
* With a Shovel you can dig up Mithril at the Mithril-Mine
* There are “Liquid Walls”on some Floors you can pass through.
* Some Brick-Walls bear secret passages.
* To craft a Mithril-Shirt you need: ???? and forge it at the Anvil at The-Underdark.
* You can jump of cliffs to the Floor below you (but you take some minor damage).
* If you are low on air, you can pull out a weapon like a dagger/sword or similar, face a fish in the water an let him attack you, so that you stab it to move faster in the opposite direction you are facing.
* Often you move faster if you keep attacking with stabbing weapons like the short-sword, this way even you can move at a reasonable speed even if you are encumbered.
* Some coloroed Rocks can be smashed with the adequate weapon.
* Some pressure plates aren’t traps but switches for doors. Drop one of your items, e.g. weapons you dont need on them from some distance to have them activated.
* If you are trapped in a room try to use some of your scrolls, if lucky you can teleport or descent with them, otherwise look for levers or jump down to the next floor.

Open Questions (so far): ( to be added)
* What are the clay Wolves for ?
* What is the Mithril Monkey for ?
