Master Keeper's 'Secrets (12)' level. Discover strategies for neutral creatures, dungeon specials, and all 16 numbered locations to secure victory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin 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.
  2. 2
    Tunnel 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.
  3. 3
    From 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.
  4. 4
    You 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.
  5. 5
    The 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.
  6. 6
    After 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.
  7. 7
    The 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.
  8. 8
    Pay 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.
  9. 9
    Utilize the dungeon specials found on the map, such as 'Increase Level' and 'Fortify Walls', to bolster your defenses and creature effectiveness.
  10. 10
    The 'Resurrect Creature' special at point '14' can be crucial for recovering fallen creatures during intense battles.
  11. 11
    Be mindful of the 'Hero Door' at '-1', which spawns 2 Witches (9) upon proximity.
  12. 12
    The map contains various traps and hazards, including doors ('x'), bridges ('b'), and prisons ('p'), which can be used to your advantage or pose challenges.
Tips
  • Prioritize walling off early hero spawns, especially from the northeast, to gain a strategic advantage.
  • Collect neutral creatures and resources as soon as they are accessible to strengthen your early game.
  • Use the terrain and pre-existing structures to your advantage when planning your dungeon layout and defensive positions.
  • Be aware of the 'post' conditions for hero spawns, which depend on the number of heroes and Monks present on the map.
  • Adapt your strategy based on the hero drop points and the types of creatures they deploy.
  • Neutral rooms: Treasure room
  • Neutral creatures: 2x Imp (3, 10), 5x Skeleton (5)
