Master Keeper's 'Secrets (12)' level. Discover strategies for neutral creatures, dungeon specials, and all 16 numbered locations to secure victory.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by digging in any direction to discover small, generated caves; these are not significant. Immediately collect the 2 Skeletons and 1 Imp located directly south.
- 2Tunnel around the portal and head north along the leftmost tile. When you encounter a 'hole' in the golden structure to the west, dig 3-4 tiles east and then up to bypass the hero spawn point at '1'. This area also contains an Imp (10) and Skeletons, which you can try to collect from above.
- 3From the center of the portal, tunnel east until you reach the impenetrable rock wall. After passing the gold seam, go up two tiles to avoid triggering point '5' prematurely. Wall off this entire eastern section to secure your dungeon for the initial phase of the level.
- 4You should have access to gold at points '1', '5', and '3'. Mine out all gold at '5' and '3', but leave the bottom row of gold at '1' unmined to prevent contact with heroes in that area. Use this gold to build up your troops and train your Skeletons.
- 5The northeast area ('6') has an early hero drop at 500 seconds. Walling this off can help establish your dungeon. Alternatively, dig into point '5' to eliminate the heroes there before the Tunneller party arrives.
- 6After dealing with the western hero drop and the northeast wave, you can proceed with standard dungeon building and defense. Be aware that specific locations will generate large numbers of heroes.
- 7The southern area has a large chasm connected by two unlocked doors, causing heroes to group up. Address hero drops at each entry point to prevent overwhelming your dungeon.
- 8Pay attention to the specific triggers for hero spawns at each numbered location, such as proximity, timers, or conditions related to the number of heroes on the map.
- 9Utilize the dungeon specials found on the map, such as 'Increase Level' and 'Fortify Walls', to bolster your defenses and creature effectiveness.
- 10The 'Resurrect Creature' special at point '14' can be crucial for recovering fallen creatures during intense battles.
- 11Be mindful of the 'Hero Door' at '-1', which spawns 2 Witches (9) upon proximity.
- 12The map contains various traps and hazards, including doors ('x'), bridges ('b'), and prisons ('p'), which can be used to your advantage or pose challenges.
