Complete walkthrough for Dungeon Keeper 2's final mission, "Regicide" on Heartland. Learn how to defeat King Reginald and his forces, secure your dungeon, and achieve victory.
Walkthrough
- 1Early Game: Immediately build Lairs, Hatchery, and Workshop. Collect gold and construct a Prison, Torture Chamber, and Library. Add a Training Room and Treasuries. Use Thunderbolt and Heal spells to support your creatures and quickly acquire Skeletons. Dig southwest to find neutral Salamanders.
- 2Securing the Dungeon: Continue excavating for gold. You will be attacked from four Hero Portals and one Hero Gate. Disable the Portals by destroying their associated Treasury and Guardroom. Convert any Giants encountered.
- 3Advanced Building: Construct a Graveyard, Temple, and Combat Pit. Use the "Create Gold" spell and exploit the Gem seam in the northeast corner (over lava) for wealth. To get Black Knights, sacrifice a Dark Mistress and a captured Guard in the Temple. Capture more Mistresses from additional Portals (northwest and east) and Guards to build a strong force.
- 4Assaulting Reginald's Castle: Once the four Portals are neutralized, focus on Reginald's Castle. His defenses include a U-shaped wall with cannons, traps, and two Hero Portals, followed by the Castle itself. You can bypass the outer defenses by digging northeast and west, but it's best to neutralize and claim the area. Use Stone Bridges and Salamanders to destroy outer cannons and Tremor to break through. Destroy the portals and claim the area. This also grants safer access to the Gem seam.
- 5Training and Final Push: Train your creatures, aiming for level 8. Reginald's Castle has a Main Room with four Hero Portals and two Hero Gates, guarded by level 10 guards. You can optionally take out these guards first. Amass your forces and attack. Summon Horny to turn the tide and defeat Reginald.
- 6Post-Battle Incursion: After defeating Reginald, your creatures will need to rest. An incursion of about ten level 10 heroes will occur, followed by continuous attacks until you defeat two Stone Lords in the corridor to the Surface. Use "Heal All" and dump creatures into the Temple for Mana. If you have enough Mana, summon Horny immediately to deal with the Stone Lords, as ONLY HORNY CAN FINISH THEM OFF.
- 7Victory: Once Horny defeats the Stone Lords, he will walk through the final Portal, signifying your victory.
