Complete walkthrough for the Dungeon Keeper 2 'REAP' mission, guiding you through objectives like summoning Horny, defeating Lord Tiberius, and claiming Mana Vaults.
Walkthrough
- 1Objective: Summon Horny and kill Lord Tiberius.
- 2Sub Objectives: Claim all Mana Vaults.
- 3Secrets: 8
- 4Initial Build: Focus on Lairs, Hatchery, Prison, and Training Room. Consider a small Workshop for traps (sell later for cash) or a Torture Chamber to attract the Dark Mistress. A Library can improve healing spells. Recommended: Workshop, Training Room, Prison.
- 5Excavation: Build bridges to excavate gold around the Portal. Do NOT dig East initially. Excavate gold to the West, but leave the last segment unexcavated to avoid attracting attention.
- 6Creature Acquisition: Quickly acquire Salamanders and other creatures based on rooms built. Train your army, focusing on skeletons for numbers.
- 7Early Defense: Expect assaults by level one archers, giants, and monks. Support your creatures with healing and Lightning Bolt. Let enemies become skeletons to save time and gold.
- 8Magic Door Approach: A Magic Door will be exposed. Do not assault it directly. Build a bridge through a narrow gap and breach the room from the side. Imps may claim tiles around the portal before the next wave of Heroes arrives.
- 9Claiming Vaults: Kill guards, claim the guardroom and two Mana Vaults, and disable the Magic Door. If cash allows, build more rooms to attract creatures.
- 10Further Excavation: Mine gold down the passageway and excavate the surrounding area for secrets and mana tiles. Use bridges to reach scattered gold seams, selling them afterward.
- 11Cannon Defense: You will encounter cannons. You have a choice:
- 12Option A (East): Break the door and go East to claim two more Mana Vaults and disable another Hero Portal.
- 13Option B (Summon Horny): If money is low and creatures are agitated, summon Horny. He will attack northwards and defeat many guards. If mana depletes before he reaches Lord Tiberius, wait for it to recharge.
- 14Final Assault: With most guards dead, take out the cannons and build a bridge to the Keep. Claim a tile or two with Imps, then drop all creatures into the Keep. This buys time until Horny can be summoned again.
- 15Victory: Summon Horny again. He will reach Tiberius and defeat him.
Tips
- Speed is crucial; train creatures and storm the Keep before gold runs out.
- Enemies often carry significant cash; imprisoning them makes it easier for Imps to retrieve gold.
- Sell the Workshop for emergency cash after initial fortifications.
- Prioritize training your army and maintaining numbers with skeletons.
- Avoid excavating the last segment of gold to the West until your army is trained.
- When approaching the Magic Door, use a side breach rather than a direct assault.
- If mana is low, consider the direct approach to Mana Vaults and Hero Portals before summoning Horny.
