A question regarding spirits of Wisdom... They don't want to teach me anything new anymore, but I still have one skill at "Advanced Level". Have I reached my limit of what I can learn? If so... well, it`s a pity because I should have chosen differently. ^^U
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, the options you choose make some other options available for you, and some other - unavailable. So these are basically trees of skills and abilities - and when you go through all the ones available to you and have only 1 last upgrade option left, the Spirit will stop teaching you anything new.
Comment has been collapsed.
So if I missed my chance to learn the Decryptor skill, I will never be offered it again and will never be able to open that door?
Comment has been collapsed.
Trial and error?
Or try to bribe someone with the decryptor skill to tell you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is that even possible? Does it show if you choose a correct square? I tried the whole board already but nothing indicated that any of the squares might be one of the correct ones...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, if all 5 squares are required, you need to check 3125 combinations - do you still recomend trial and error method? xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't say it was a viable option, but there is still a chance to open it with trial and error, so that solved the never part of his question. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Places that require certain skill to get into are "bonus" places which are not necessary to visit in order to complete the quest.
And yes, when you choose one of the options by the sipirt of wisdom, some other options might become unavailable to you for the current quest.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh well, I was offered this the very first time I met the spirit, so I couldn't possibly know how this will work... but anyway, I seem to be at loss how to continue then, all doors seem to be locked or require special class or "once-in-a-lifetime" skills -- the only thing is this button but I smashed it several times and nothing happened...
Comment has been collapsed.
Something did happen, explore the place again. But it's also a bonus area, not quest related.
Comment has been collapsed.
so I needed to smash it again with a more powerful weapon, then it opened... but it didn't help much to make any progress:p

Keep in mind that some walls might be unusual. For example, if you see a crack on the wall, it means that you can break it by using an Explosive Vial.
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh, didn't know that! How do we target the wall though? Just use the Vial while facing it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, just make sure to have Use option chosen with Explosive Vial and not Drop :)

oh... ok, I'll walk the whole place all over again then:p Thanks for the tip! (how about cracked floors???)
Comment has been collapsed.
Is this a 5x5 door? I have a code with 4 numbers, but nothing I try with those numbers works. I would need the decryptor skill for that? I never saw it, and now the spirit is done teaching me. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe this is already the decrypted message, all I can see is "???"
edit: the door I mean is at X18 Y3
Comment has been collapsed.
I definitely don't have that skill. Maybe the numbers I found apply somewhere else? I should have captured the whole sign text, instead of just the numbers (and hyphens).
Edit: Ah, the big one. Yeah, there's a smaller version on a lower level, 5x5 grid.

for some reason I'm suddenly overburdened (should have 79kg space, but only have 59kg -- it seems it doesn't count my Handcuffs of War which should give me + 20), usually reload helps to solve that but not this time...
Comment has been collapsed.
The weight you have now should be correct, I'll see what might be wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
You should see a strange wall if you south from there. If walls have cracks, they can be broken with explosive vials.
Comment has been collapsed.
The crack appeared once, but not afterwards. Should I blow it even if it's not displaying anymore? Also, is there a guaranteed way to get an explosive vial in that zone? Because I used my only one getting in.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, the wall will still be destroyed. The crack appears at random position on the wall and sometimes can be barely visible.
There is no guaranteed way to get explosive vial in that zone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Stuck on cyclop's quest, I checked almost every wall in it's cave, but still didn't find code for that goddamn door. 😩 Only one note in this level I can find is on the other closed door and I'm not sure it's clue.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean almost is the ones with spikes, even poisoned walls checked...
Comment has been collapsed.
The code is there, you couldn't have missed it if you checked everything. Checking spiked and toxic walls is not required.
Comment has been collapsed.
Found the problem with it(if it's not intended) but if there's an encounter of any kind on that tile like the scripted one the first time you step on it then the message won't display properly. You have to face away and face the wall again to find the message. Since that's the default orientation when stepping onto the tile I had to search the whole floor 4 times before I happened to step on that tile and not have an encounter. I'm assuming it's the same reason so many people can't find it. Even if you perform a check on the wall if it didn't appear when you first looked at that side it doesn't display
Comment has been collapsed.
Same situation - checked every wall in the cave, still no idea where the code would be tho :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Is the entrance to Ardes' cave in a fixed position or randomly generated? I assume it would have cracks on it, but I just can't seem to find it in the area around the sign. Or is it that "engulfed passage" that I can't seem to go through?
Comment has been collapsed.
The entraced is in a fixed position and it is not an engulfed passage as those can only be passed by some warriors :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, so if the lianas can only be climbed by some rogues and engulfed passages can be only passed by some warriors, then perhaps, a certain magic barrier can only be passed by some wizards? :)
Unfortunately, I must've missed the required skill.

My carrying capacity seems to fluctuate a lot. Usually it tends to increase to 97 kg when I level up my strength and then decrease back to 95 kg when I take some new weapon or piece of equipment even if this doesn't affect strength. (My ID is 2909)
What was the starting carrying capacity at the beginning of the game? And does Expert Endurance increase it by 12 kg or by 12+8+4 kg?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Saucisse! Thank you for reporting your problem. I know there their is some issue with weight being displayed incorrectly sometimes and will be doing some tests to fix it. For now, please reload the page when you think that your weight is shown incorrectly - you will see a correct weight afterwards.
The starting weight limit is 22kg (20kg +2kg for 1 basic point of Strength).
Now that you mentioned it, I noticed that Expert Endurance indeed increased weight limit more than it should have - I fixed it now as Expert Endurance should increase weight limit by 12 kg, not more.
Comment has been collapsed.
I fixed it now
OK, now I have only 82 kg instead of 95 :)
I think something is still not right. I have Expert Endurance and 20+11=31 points of Strength. This should give me 20+12+62 = 94 kg, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Masteries are capped at level 25 and resistances are capped at level 10 - these values can not be exceeded even with bonuses from equipment.
It is mentioned in FAQ:
"Masteries and Resistances can not get higher than 25 and 10 level accordingly even with pieces of equipment, e.g. if you have a piece of equipment that grants +2 to Poison Resistance while your Poison Resistance is already upgraded to level 10, it will have no extra effect and you should consider changing that piece to another one at first opportunity."
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I had no idea! Thanks for explaining! Time to free myself from those hadcuffs I guess :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yay! I did it! Thanks for the frustrating experience! ;p (it's actually really amazing what you created there, just a bit too hard-core for me sometimes)
Btw I noticed another bug: I was killed by a monster by a margin of just a few points (let's say to finish with -10 points), so I got the Defeated message, one equipment destroyed etc. -- but at the same time I received a few points for my defending (let's say +20), so even though I was defeated, I stayed alive and could heal and continue the battle...
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, congrats on finishing the frustrating experience! ;)
Hope to see you at the christmas event as well - I'll try to make it softer (no guarantees though!) :)
P.S. That's one interesting bug! Thanks for reporting.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the game has me reverted to base level stats, so I can't use scrolls, despite my wizardry level being 10. Can you look into this? I'd really really like to use a store scroll now, but can't. :(

Wow, that's a new one. Do you remember what you did before that happened? I need to know the condition that could have caused that to be able to find and fix the bug.
I also need your ID to be able to find your profile.

I don't know this is the cause, but I first noticed a ridiculously low carrying capacity after picking up some new equipment. In fact, I had to try multiple times to pick it up. I tried clearing cookies, but clearly that isn't the issue.
Comment has been collapsed.
I figured I messed up a bit after updating one file recently.You will see that you found an equipment next time you enter the game - take it and your stats should get back to normal.
Comment has been collapsed.
Usually I caught these early but it didn't pop up until I randomly searched the forum so I'm starting late...and I'm already miserable.
Just started the game and this is happening:
You are poisoned.
You are bleeding.
You are concussed.
You feel unfocused.
Lolwut, I'm dying immediately.
Comment has been collapsed.
Meditate at the active skill tab.
Each check consumes 25% cp.
Comment has been collapsed.
How does that help with all the crap I have :)? I had no potions since I just began the game and immediately got a million issues and now I'm in purgatory which is new and no idea what I'm doing lol.
Nevermind, got out.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you are unfocused, you can get bad stuff from checks.
Also If there is toxic goo or spikes on the wall, they will give you poison and bleeding respectively.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah every year this gets harder and more frustrating. Now I can't even know everywhere I've been because I gotta leave walls unchecked (learned that the hard way). Oh and update, died again from bleeding and poisoning which happens immediately. Still no items. Gotta hate this version so far :).
Comment has been collapsed.
You can leave notes on specific spots, they are visible on your map. Not sure if you need basic cartography for that though.
I used those to indicate spiked or poisoned walls, so I don't backtrack to a wall.
And I also had my own map in excel.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't have that kind of time to make a separate map. That cartography skill seems likely to be necessary to show extra things on a map.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cartographer skill is must have, but till you get it you need to mark at least special locations, like shop, quest characters etc. Also even with that skill you need to take some notes, for example special walls, which can be touched to move to other side of wall.
Comment has been collapsed.
For starters I'd like to be able to actually explore and not get every issue stacked immediately. I met a poor poisoned bastard and couldn't even help him because I have nothing and from what I hear that's only gonna make things worse in the long run by not getting good karma.
Comment has been collapsed.
If by explore you mean trying trial by error (touching everything), then it gets things worse really quickly. I heard many complaints from people, who got several negative effects after a few actions made at the start of the game and died eventually. I haven't faced such problems mostly due to my previous experience: to keep concentration on max and pay attention to text, but still checked dangerous walls a few times by accident. Also I learnt to make a lot of notes. "poor poisoned bastard" - do you mean strangers? Probably it can help your karma at the beginning to give them items (don't remember how it was for me), but from the middle of game I gave them items every time they ask and got some coins in return at max.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm stuck, haven't been able to go anywhere since yesterday, touched every wall including the dangerous ones just in case there was a passage, just moving back and forth on 3 tiles only.

Direct quote from server
You should be able to destroy the southern wall at L3 X10 Y15 with an explosive vial.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's not where I was stuck, it was the only toxic wall I avoided that was a secret pathway.
I've met a Treasurer "I see you've got gold bars, adventurer. I offer you a treasure or 250 coins for each of your bars! What do you think?"
What's the best option? I can also leave if there are better options in the maze.
Comment has been collapsed.
Treasure=the link to a random giveaway from the 71 available in this dungeon. So this offers you nothing inside the game. If you finish the quest among the first 25 of your class you get access to all the giveaways anyway. At this time only 17 people have finished, 9 of them rogues. On the other hand carrying around big amounts of gold in the game is not advisable as they can be stolen by rogues or looted from your corpse while you're dead and they also add to the weight you're carrying. You can always hold on to the bars and use them in a pickle where you need gold or if it looks like you won't be finishing among the first 25 of your class exchange them then for treasures.
In the end this is mostly preference.

Is there any way to stop bleeding besides bandages? I keep dying because I've found 0 bandages and always start to bleed, wasn't even my fault this time, it was a trap.
Comment has been collapsed.
Only a bandage or a Clearance Scroll if your wizardry is high enough to use them. Both can be bought at some Merchants at times, be found from wall checks or dropped from enemies. You can always try to trade for them with other players too. The area around the entrance/exit (L3X7Y6 if I remember right) is a hub since that's where the potion drops happen, making it your best bet. Always try to log out at that tile since you get the potions, whether you're on or off. Also there's a sort of unspoken rule where people that finish and are about to exit the dungeon usually distribute their whole inventories among the players around there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tnx for the help, I'm so far from that point with no idea how to get there with all the unchecked walls so I don't know where there's a path or a bad wall. Bled to death again just now lol. Not one single bandage so far.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bleeding has different levels, you can see which you are on when you hover over it with your mouse.
Healing potions reduces the level to a minimum of 1.
Comment has been collapsed.
Such notes fill ingame notepad very quickly, so the only way is to do them externally (for example in excel, like you mentioned). Also they don't require cartographer skill.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh hi again. I'm making slow progress, but at least it's progress! =^.^=
I think I've found another bug. I have the expert Dead Energy skill. I just killed a skeleton warrior and it said I restored 150HP after killing the undead, but actually right now I only have 66XP which is what I had just before I killed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi there - me again =^.^=
Today I killed a hellhound and received the message that 50 EP was restored, but actually it wasn't and I was left with 6 EP at the time. Can you please check? Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
Was that before or after clicking continue?
Since I think it only changes after that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Both. Having had this happen before (I'm pretty sure) I took more careful note this time. I've also noticed Dead Energy working correctly, so it seems to be an occasional error.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi! Please specify which skill or equipment should have restored EP in your opinion. Hellhound is not an undead creature.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah ok. Well in that case the message saying I had 50 EP restored was in error.
I am going to have to take screenshots - next time I manage to kill something without dying (could be a while!) I'll be more diligent in keeping evidence. =^.^=
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, providing a screenshot would surely be great :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, finally the evidence! https://imgur.com/a/CYZaX
My EP was zero or 1 before the final blow to kill the Flesh Biter.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! I'll try to figure why it restored less EP than necessary.
Comment has been collapsed.
While you're checking that, here's another one. Not sure about HP, but Dark Aura didn't increase my EP at all:
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually just checked and it had no effect on HP either
Comment has been collapsed.
Everything was working correctly, but the message was misleading. I see that your Curse Resistance equals 0 and Dark Aura restores EP and HP equal to your Curse Resistance, thus it wasn't restoring anything. Now you won't see a message until you get at least 1 point in Curse Resistance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ohhh - that makes sense. yes, I would upgrade my curse resistance had I noticed.
Did you solve the other problem?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not yet, I did some tests and everything was fine for me, so I guess there must be some special condition causing the bug.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still not working... I think it restored 120EP or something like that:
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, right! The order of the effect turned out to be incorrect. 30 EP required for an attack were deducted from 150 EP gained by the Skill, thus making a total of 120 EP gain. I fixed it now!
Comment has been collapsed.
Just wanted to clarify whether this is a bug or works as intended:
When fighting a troll, he kept regenerating HP even when I got an extra turn due to high morale.
That fight went on for ages, brought my magical weapon down from 100% to 14% before I had to switch to my melee weapon (which lost about 20% in the ongoing battle, if I recall correctly). I even was starving (hunger at 100%) by the time the battle finally ended. That bloody troll went from "nearly dead" to "very healthy" so many times... I think, it took me about 10 minutes to finish that bastard off. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Those HP regenerating monsters were the worst for me too at some point. I had to escape from them and then, when I got handcuffs of war that prevent escape, I had to die on purpose to save my potions.
I'm pretty sure that's intended though, because the game is pretty hardcore in general :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I don't mind the hard-core aspect. I actually like this about that dungeon. I only thought that it was weird that the troll regenerated health despite it not being "his turn". If that is intended, though, I don't mind. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Now that you have him defeated, you should see him on the minimap whenever he appears again (unless he appears on your tile, of course). Try to avoid monsters which are too difficult to defeat :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Are equipment currently bugged? They don't seem like their bonus stats are calculated. When you check profiles they don't show towards the total stats anymore and it looks like my carrying capacity is also where it would be without any equips. With 19+2 Strength and Expert endurance my weight limit is 70kg instead of 74kg so I'm assuming it also affects the other stats as well.
Edit: And I just lost that equip xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I think there's a small bug with the mines: when you find a gem in a mine, it's not added to your gems.
To fellow adventurers: I'm near the end of my adventure but I've encountered a really angry monster at L3 X8 Y11. I would appreciate if you helped me for a modest reward.
EDIT: Thanks to the brave hero who smashed this angry beast into a steak! :)
EDIT2: Another dungeon horror at L3 X7 Y7 (I'm out of lockpicks, so the reward is even worse this time.) - And this horror is vanquished too, thanks to another brave hero!

My guess is a ladon or a doom knight. Can't help I'm afraid.

I escaped from the prison, but can't seem to return via the pit. I don't fall down when I go to that tile. Intended? If so, I'm a little unclear on where I should be going.

Do you have a certain spear skill with acceleration?
Comment has been collapsed.
No. Was that in the prison?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't follow that at first. I may have had acceleration active, which makes me not trigger traps, so that may have been it. But I don't have any skill related to spears. I went back and explored the prison a little more, but didn't see anything I missed.
I'm at a loss for what to do next. Returning to certain quest-givers didn't seem to do anything.

Is it even possible to kill spiders without the club? I don't know how to get it though without killing a spider.
There's that door, but I can't find the code anywhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
You get the club by defeating the spiders, you might need to level a bit first and/or find a better weapon.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what I feared. The quest dialogue from the cyclops is a bit misleading in that respect, as that implies that all you need to do is get his club and you don't have to fight the spiders. I was expecting that one of the doors might lead me to it, but I guess not.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can open the door without killing the spiders, but not sure if you can get the weapon behind the door without a fight.

(FINISHED) Join the dungeon-crawling Giveaway Adventure in Steam Dungeons! [70+ GAs]
Hello Steamgifters! A long time has passed (over a year!) since you crawled the dungeon full of steamgifts giveaways last time! And it is time to start the new - this time as big as never before.
"The Legend of Titans" quest has started!
All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?
Introduction
Game of sWords (now Steam Dungeons) was made specially for SteamGifts a little bit over 2 years ago and has gone a long way since then! A long time has passed since the last event, and there are tons of changes this time as well, including great variety of interactable objects, characters, improvements in balance and design - overall, the dungeons got even bigger and diverse! Steam Dungeons consists of quests (SG events) which start periodically: in each quest you have to explore huge dungeons while upgrading your hero, fighting monsters, finding new items and treasures and interacting with other players in different ways - all of that right in your browser.
There are many treasures (giveaways) hidden in the dungeon and anyone who finds them can join them!
A lot of giveaways have been contributed by the community members, and I would like to say a big Thank You to everyone who made a contribution! :)
Here is the topic of Halloween Quest 2016
Here is the topic of Quest for Dungeon Heart #2
Here is the topic of Quest for Dungeon Heart #1
Here is the topic of Game of sWords 3.0
Here is the topic of Game of sWords 2.0
And here is the topic of the first one, which started back in November 2 years ago.
You might want to read a little more about the game to succeed in it and there is some useful material you can put your eye on:
First of all, I highly recommend to visit sWords Library that has a lot of other useful information that will help you in the adventure
Secondly, you can read the tips I posted today in the Steam group announcement - many of them are not yet published in the library!
What's new in Steam Dungeons?
Lots of changes have been made since the previous quest to make the game more enjoyable!
You can see many of the changes listed here.
Note: The Game engine is not properly supported by Internet Explorer (you will encounter all kinds of nasty bugs there) and it is recommended to use one of the following browsers: Chrome (perfect), Opera (perfect) or Firefox (great, but the game works a tiny bit slower and sounds sometimes mess up a little).
Current Winners limits: Warriors:25, Wizards:25, Rogues:25.
Winners get access to all giveaways available in the current dungeon! (70+)
Everyone who finishes the game after the limit is reached (while it is still runnning) gets 1 random treasure as a consolation prize!
The game will last for 20 days. All giveaways end in about that time as well!
Time to start the Adventure!
EVERYONE is invited to play the game and search for treasures in the adventure! :)
The only requirement is that your Steam account should be more than 90 days old.
Join the official group
and
Start playing now!
