Learn how to use the Torture Room in Core Keeper to attract the Dark Mistress, boost minion efficiency, and reveal enemy dungeon info.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Construct the Torture Room, which costs 350 gold per tile.
  2. 2
    Place the Torture Room in your dungeon. It has a research value of 20000.
  3. 3
    The Torture Room attracts creatures like the Dark Mistress. Ghosts may also appear from dead torture victims.
  4. 4
    You can use the Torture Room to torture your own minions. Torturing one Warlock, for example, makes all other Warlocks work 25% harder, similar to slapping them.
  5. 5
    Warning: Be careful, as creatures can lose health rapidly if a certain pain threshold is crossed. Creatures do not receive salary during torture.
  6. 6
    Torturing an enemy Hero can reveal information about their dungeon, including the location of their dungeon heart. The view expands with each piece of information claimed.
  7. 7
    If a creature is tortured long enough without dying, it will convert to your side. The time required depends on the creature type (Thieves have a low threshold, Samurai are more resistant), room efficiency, and if the "Speed" spell has been cast.
  8. 8
    Warning: If a creature does not survive the pain, it will die and respawn (return) as a Ghost with the same experience level. Only let weaker creatures die to avoid strong Ghosts.
Tips
  • The Torture Room can be essential even without a Prison.
  • Casting the "Speed" spell on an enemy creature after conversion can further reduce the time it takes to break them.
  • Consider the creature type when deciding who to torture, as some are more resistant to pain than others.
