Fame Guide

Advancement

Each time you are victorious, you go up one fame level. As you go up in fame, the villagers will put a little more effort into searching for starting equipment. But don't expect much ... they're villagers after all.

Unlocks

Rising in fame level will unlock more game features. Here is what awaits the dedicated dungeoneer.

• 

  The Ruins

  1

  A visiting sage delivers an old map of an ancient underground city. "Let this not be your ruin," he warns cryptically.

  The ruins are filled with undead creatures guarding the dungeon's best loot.
• 

  Feats

  2

  A minstrel haplessly wandered into the village and, of course, left the next day. But first, to raise spirits, he told fantastic tales of combat. The exploits he described were far-fetched, but they did give you some idees.

  When you trigger a feat, you get a free turn that includes an extra move and attack bonuses. Feats are triggered by exceptionally high dice rolls or strong attacks.
• 

  Tag Team

  3

  You cannot control what is in the dungeon. But you can control who is.

  When at the dungeon entrance, you can swap your hero for one that is in the village.
• 

  Cavern Crawlers

  4

  Little Billy had to release his pet caterpillar. His father explained, "That thing never stopped eating ... or growing."

  Cavern crawlers roam the caverns, randomly entering rooms. Their goal is to reach the other side, but will attack anything along the way.
• 

  Caverns Tunnel

  5

  A village boy asks if you ever get to slide down steep tunnels. "That would be epic!," he explains.

  A one-way tunnel will lead from the caverns to an unknown location in the mines below.
• 

  Haunt of the Specters

  6

  You hear horror stories of teenage villagers going missing.

  Two Specters now haunt a room in the ruins, guarding an exceptional weapon. Specters are invisible until next to you.
• 

  Shamblers

  7

  The village engineers succeed in draining the nearby swamp. "Those pesky swamp creatures will have to go somewhere else!"

  Shamblers lurk in the water-filled pits of the Caverns. They will only go after you if you attack or loot something in their room.
• 

  Throne of the Lich Queen

  8

  A bard sings a tale of adventurers entering horror-filled tomb, driving off an evil lich. No one knows where the lich went.

  The Lich Queen is a powerful undead sorceress. She sits on her throne deep in the ruins, guarding an exceptional weapon.
• 

  Undo

  9

  Every Dungeoneer is entitled to a misstep. Once.

  Undo the previous turn so you can take a different action (if you do the exact same thing, expect the same result). You can Undo Turn once per game, and it costs mana.
• 

  Mines Tunnel

  10

  A traveling archaelogist explains how to find a tunnel to the ruins. Who knew?

  A one-way tunnel can be found in the mines leading to a random location in the ruins below.
• 

  Reapers

  11

  Farmer Ben enters the tavern, saying: "Hey, has anyone seen my scythe? It's almost harvest, and I can't find it for the life of me."

  Reapers slay anything in their path. And their path will be to you.
• 

  Ropers

  12

  Villager 1: "What's the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?" Villager 2: "Oh, I know that one! A stalagmite *might* be a roper!" Villagers 1 & 2: "Hahahaha!"

  Ropers do not move, but use their tentacles as long range whips.
• 

  Chamber of the Mummy King

  13

  Curses! After centuries of collecting dust (and rot, and disease) the Mummy King has arisen.

  An ancient Mummy King has returned to lay claim to one of the rooms in the ruins. It guards an exceptional weapon.
• 

  Golden Chest

  14

  The dragons realize that they need treasure more befitting magnificent creatures such as themselves.

  The dragon lair will now contain a golden chest containing an exceptional sword, shield or bow.
• 

  The Order of Dungeoneers

  15

  There’s a secret order of dungeoneers dedicated to protecting the village. Don’t tell anyone, or you’ll be fed to a dung monster.

  Members of the Order of Dungeoneers gain access to Campaign and Tournament game modes.
• 

  Elf and Dwarf

  50

  Word of your exploits has spread to the forests and hills.

  The Elven Huntress and Dwarven Brawler have decided to join you, like it or not. You will now be able to slay dragons with a hero of your choice.

Fame Titles

The villagers will always have a term of endearment for you. But as your fame increases, their descriptors will change accordingly.
