Dungeon 6 Spoilers

#1 by hanako - Apr 25 2011

Making threads for people to share how they beat, or fun things they found in, each dungeon.

If what you found appears to be a bug, send that to bug reporting instead.

These threads are obviously likely to become spoiler-heavy and you probably shouldn't peek until you've at least tried each dungeon yourself!

I haven't beat it yet, but I loved how I could use Entangle on the opponent on that one square with plants on it.

I've also been using Tap the Flow to keep my magic up.

I transport the guy to the starting square after blinding him.

#4 by Ellume - Apr 26 2011

Guess I should have read this thread before I posted my "bug" in the other.

Right off the start I cast sleep while he pushed me in the direction of the exit. I kept going and passed the fountain and was pushed over into the side chamber. Went back and met up with my opponent and tried to talk with him. He just said "Shut up". I cast empathy on him, which told me he had no emotions (Mod note - Oops. Will be fixing that.) and he ran for it. I only had about 19 mana left and just ran after him until he got to the door and cast slash on it. The door was still closed so I cast forwarned on myself and he pushed me back a square. I walked forward and he cast slash again so the door was open. Because of forwarned I knew he was casting Push on me to get me further back, so I did the same to him. Then again I was told he was going to push me "away" so I pushed him too. Unfortunately for him he pushed me in the direction of the exit, so I just walked out lol.

I used Communication on him and challenged him to a battle of wits, we played Dots and Boxes (or something) my character won, then he left, I found the exit, and used 'Open' on it to open the doors. The battle of wits option didn't show up on my character with a lower Smarts stat though.

Another time I actually won accidentally when trying not to, I went through normally, he went in the wrong direction by accident, and I ended up reaching first.

#6 by Riviera - Apr 26 2011

Okay, finally found a way that worked. I waited whenever there was a debate about direction and let hir use breeze, then I ran the right way. I let hir break the door down, then I blinded hir and ran past again. Basically I let hir do the work for me.

I'm so mean. But it did work. I only got five merits, though, so that might have been their way of looking down on my tactics.

#7 by Ellume - Apr 26 2011

The only way I know of getting the 5 extra merits is using Communication to negotiate a battle of wits.

=( Apparently giving him a kiss does not work. How high does my cuteness level have to be for that?

Hehe, I think that is a fun idea. But what if they arn't into girls? Or what if you appear as nondescript to them as they do to you? If they are another student it would makes sense the profs would cloak both of your identities from each other.

Aw, that means that option is just a tease. I wonder if you can get 5 extra merits if you do happen to kiss the competition ;). I haven't done "bribing" with him so I don't know if that works or not. has anyone done so?

oh he asks for 100 dollars and i didnt have that much so it didn't work..
i wonder if it works if you have enough money lol

for me after some attempts
i just went to the door and waited until opponent opened the door and teleported him way back lol

#12 by junsei7 - Apr 26 2011

I didn't use Communication - I just talked to the opponent three times. On the third attempt to talk, the various options to negotiate a way out appear.

Does anyone know what to do with the sink? I turned it into a sphere and rolled it round the corners and into the doors, but it made no difference. I can't work out what that option is - but maybe I don't have the right spell available...

I just tried the kiss option with my Mary Sue with the highest cute I've managed to get (80). The opponent still didn't go for it, but I got +5 cute points for the attempt.

#13 by Riviera - Apr 28 2011

Is communication the ONLY way you can get past this guy if you have a green/white focused character?

Used to be that I could let TO (the opponent) break down the door, then I could hit TO with a green or white spell and run past. Now every time I get close TO hits me with teleport and I lose. I can't take the door down on my own because I don't have enough offensive power, and I can't teleport myself because I lack the blue magic. =/

I think I'm stuck. I've tried using white magic to stop his casting but it never works.

My other characters are doing fine, but the only way this one can get through is running fast and hoping she wins. XDDD


Burn Magic is a good combo that usually ends up in TO surrendering (probably because of lack of magic.)

#14 by hanako - Apr 28 2011

The dungeon is randomly generated, so certain things (like whether he's likely to teleport you before you can get through the door) change from play to play.

There are more spells that should be useful for a green/white caster (but some are not fully implemented/working as of Apr28)

#15 by Elze - Apr 30 2011

So interesting *A*
I think this is my favorite dungeon so far! I didn't realise that we could communicate lol. Now I have to try that. So far, all I've done is outrun him by casting spells. Spells I've used to delay him include 'teleport other', 'blind', 'push', 'entangle', 'sticky feet' and 'distract'. Still haven't tried using a black spell with that random stone object to delay my rival yet. I've tried using 'slow' but nothing happened with that.

To open the doors, I always use 'open', which costs only 10mp and does the job immediately. C:

EDIT: tried Communicate. Found out that if you have the cute magic wand, you can use it to bribe the guy lol.

#16 by Riviera - Apr 30 2011

Yeah, I've had decent luck stalling him, I just need to figure out how to both stall him AND open the door.

It also works with the Amulet as far as I know.

#18 by Bombermans - Jun 4 2011

Loved the concept of this one! I used distract, or teleport, or darkness, but never hitted him with offensive spells

Does it mean something that, on one of the playthrughts, the hooded figure's skin is black, and in others his skin is white?

#19 by hanako - Jun 4 2011

Nah, Spiky just felt like making it random.

#20 by Muse - Jun 19 2011

I used Awareness (white) then Teleport Other to shove him/her in a random blocked off room (at least on my map there were several), and then just open on the doors. A boring way to do it but it worked at least!

Edit: On my second try I tried dots and boxes but I lost. I wonder how much smart you need to win...

#21 by irinack - Jun 29 2011

Lol, When I entered the dungeon for the first time I only managed to use spells on him when we were in the starting squares. Then he just rushes off and I didn't get the chance to do anything to him and eventually lost. I tried offensive spells and it doesn't work. I used Seal(black) on him so that he wouldn't move anymore but that just slowed him down a little bit.

There is one way to get out of the dungeon without using any magic at all. (You do this when you are REALLY desperate). So I followed him until he found the door. He pushed me back one square and then he opened the door and I freaked out so I pressed Forward multiple times without stopping and eventually I got out before he could. That was really funny( Must be because the character we play is a fast runner XD ).

BTW: You can also use Blast(red) on the door to open it.

#22 by perch - Jun 29 2011

One time out of curiosity I tried to murder him and I succeeded. It was incredibly awkward to get out of the dungeon and pick up my 5 merits.

Usually I try to talk to him if my intelligence is high enough to play the dot game and then get out or I wait for him to open the door and then play the dot game.

#23 by junsei7 - Jun 29 2011

Yeah I kind of wish you were called on that - if you get extra merits for finding non-violent solutions, shouldn't there be at least a 'you could have done that another way' telling off from Potsdam?

#24 by Blinky343 - Jun 30 2011

Doesn't this one take place fairly recently after the combat practice? That may or may not have something to do with it

For this one, the first time I pushed him down a dead end and then used that seal spell on the square to keep him trapped. But when I got to the door, my red magic was too wimpy to take it down! So I ran out of mana and he eventually caught up, took down the door, shoved me a way and won :/ . Second try, I just raced him to the door, and he alternated between blasting me away and attacking the door. As soon as he took it down I cast fear on him, inscribed some swear words on the wall, and waltzed my way to victory

#25 by PDuo - Jul 2 2011

I did what Rock, Paper, Shotgun mentioned.

I tailed him, let him blow open the doors, then sent him back to the start of the dungeon.
