(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

Start playing now!

It's been fun so far. I have two questions/suggestions:

  1. In the new UI, I can't find the place where I can see how much XP I currently have and how much is required to reach the next level? Is it even shown somewhere?
  2. The arrow pointing at which direction we move can be really hard to see against some background images! Could you make it less transparent or a different color than brown, so it would be more clearly visible? Or perhaps it would be best if you add an option under Settings for each user to select his own arrow color and opacity.

Hi Domazo! Your current and needed XP are shown when the mouse pointer is over the XP bar at the top left corner right below your name. As for the arrow, I'll surely thinkg about making it more clearly visible, thank you for suggestion! :)

Thanks, in the meantime I have two more questions.

On L3, there is a place with lianas on the wall and there is the same mark on the south side of the square that stairs have. However, I can't go "down", because I see the "check wall" arrow. Even a refresh doesn't change that. Is this a bug or am I not doing something right?

I found a ladder in another place, but when I tried to climb down, I just got a message that I'm overburdened (which I am). Is this intentional or another bug?

Climbing lianas requires a certain skill - when you'll acquire it, you'll be able to move in its direction.

In order to be able to climb ladders and lianas, your hero also shouldn't be overburdened.

Quick Q: If you escape, will it be into a random direction or always the direction you came from? If the latter is the case, I might have to suicide attack as I am sitting in a dead end. :D

Yes, you always run to the tile you were before.

There are 2 other options you have:

  • Ask Wizards nearby to cast invisibility scroll on you!
  • use "/help for AMOUNT ITEM command", e.g. "/help for 100 coins", this will create an offer for adventurers nearby that might agree to fight your monster instead of you.

No, lockpicks can't be bought, but they are tradeable. Maybe someone around has a few extra ones.

And is there a sufficient supply of them in the game to open everything that needs to be open without trading?
Also, what is the trick of the fireball scroll? I have wizardry lvl 10 and still cannot use the fireball...

There might not be a sufficient amount of locks for all the doors and chests in the dungeon and locations uncovered beyond "picklockable" doors are not mandatory to visit.
I'll check the fireball scroll and see what is wrong with it.

I have a question regarding active abilities... Can I see when they become active? I have obtained one for my Wizard and I keep clicking on it, but it never seems to work. It is supposedly activated every 10 successful magic attacks, but I am quite sure I have performed those!

Cool! It works now :) Thanks for fixing the bug!

I have 2 other things to report. One is that a monk supposedly expanded my maximum HP, but I saw no changes (I am level 6 Wizard and I have 500 HP). Another is that a Wisdom Spirit offered me two active skills... but both slots were empty. I suspect that may not be a bug, but just a consequence of not having any active abilities left for me.

Well. Constantly restarting browser to be able to play is not that fun :< ctrl +f5 doesnt work with that one either. Yes.
And it's sad that resistances wont decrease chance for getting bad status anymore. Yes.

@Edit: Well. I got teleported to the trylogryte place and all i can do is just die again and again. Lost my eq too of course. Weapon is at 30% endurance and i hadnt found even one magical one thus far. Also showing spikes and poison is maybe nice as you can decide if ya want to check them but i end up with empty map since i always try to avoid them. Yes.

@edit2: Way too many minigames by the way. I like new graphics though. Yes.

I also find it a bit frustrating that you can lose your equipment... ^^U This iteration of the game has clever mechanisms to reduce player's frustration, such as the "Dream world", but on the other hand it adds the possibility of losing your equipment... Since it is not that easy to get good items, I think it would be reasonable to reduce the chance of this happening.

I've been trying to get rid of this problem for a while - but I need some data from the players that encounter it to figure out what the reason is (since I never got that issue myself). We could do some tests which could help me finally uncover the mystery if you have a little time :)

Ok, is there a trick to the lockpick puzzle? Because bruteforcing is annoying.

Isn't lockpicking basically a bruteforcing? :) You can write the pattern down on paper as you uncover it to make things way easier.

I've always positioned the game as an old-school dungeon-crawler - it is hardcore in a way that it requires you to wisely consider each move and carefully think of the most effective ways to progress through the game.

Holy water doesn't seem to work. I am clearly cursed, and yet trying to drink it will give the "no one is cursed here" message.
Also, it seems unfair that you can only really hurt vagrant spirits with magic weapons, and you need high concentration to use magic weapons. If you are low on health, you can't use it as concentration is related to health.
This seems quite unfair, as if you get too low during the fight you can't recover.

Make sure you choose the "use" option in items tab, because this message appears when you try to give it away or treat someone to it.
If you see that enemy is too strong for you and it might cost too many items to beat it, consider trying to escape.

If i understood right, if someone steals your soul you lose the ability to go to the purgatory and escape it, right?
If so, shouldn't stealing a soul for myself bring me that ability back?

No, you can't bring your own soul back by stealing souls of others. You must find a Ritualist character that can help you get a soul again.

Is ritualist a random appearing NPC or do you need to find him in the specific location? Having no soul is really annoying :/

Specific locations (I found two, but those were later in the game).

I found a chest with an unreliable lock earlier and ran out of energy trying to smash it. Now I'm at that location again (my ID is 273), but the game only does a wall check and doesn't show the lock map at all. I'm currently at half of max energy. Does that have anything to do with it?

How can I use the weapons outside battle - for example smashing chests or damaging other players?

6 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

If a chest or a door can be broken and you have the right weapon equipped, you will get an option to smash it when you face it.
Other players can't be hurt directly with weapons (except, probably, stray arrows), but they can be hurt with certain abilities.

Hi again. One question: it says Warriors and Rogues need to be at level 5 or higher to be able to read scrolls. Right now I'm a Rogue with my Wizardry skill being 4+1 (with the +1 being from my equipment). Is it a fault that I can't yet read scrolls, or is that deliberate?

Hi! Warriors and Rogues must reach level 5 (hero level, not Wizardry Mastery level) to start reading scrolls.

You can see the condition needed for an ability to reactivate when you move mouse cursor over it.

Four times. :'(

Also, I'm not sure how I should fight as a wizard. My concentration is gone in about two strikes, and I can't seem to recover more than a few points by defending.

6 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

The amount of CP you recover depends on whether your defence goes well or not (in other words, whether your enemy deals damage to you or not). If enemy hits you when you are defending (and you don't block the attack), you will only restore a little amount of concentration.

6 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, but it's also capped by the average percentage of hp and ep, and I need cp over 50%(or so) to use my magic weapon, so I perform maybe 95% of my attacks with a melee weapon.

It's 30% from the start - you'll be able to reduce this requirement later with some skills.

Какой-то странный дизайн уровней. Я сейчас застрял на одной клетке и не имею никаких шансов куда-то двинуться, потому что вокруг меня Хароны, которые требуют денег, которые я на них уже спустил в количестве 3к. Застрял же я конкретно между одним Хароном, 2 стенами и закрытой дверью. Как-то это немного странно.

Спасибо, но это все равно не очень понятно. Там же выбраться никуда нельзя без золота, левел предполагает, что нужно фармить золото на спавнишихся монстрах, чтобы платить харонам?
Вот вперед у меня есть два поворота влево, которые я не проверял еще. Наверняка, там должны быть рычаги для дверей, но чтобы проверить мне нужно золото, которое можно нафармить лишь убивая монстров, передвигаясь по маленькой локации туда-обратно. Переходы там занимают хароны, значит золота нужно несколько тысяч, а это много и очень много монстров. И пока все это выглядит абсолютно так, что проходить это можно бесконечность.
Я что-то не то делаю?

I'm in a very strange situation. I just got a Passive skill upgrade from a Spirit (forgot the exact name), but now I don't see any of the four direction arrows, just the pointing arrow in the middle and what's most strange and amusing at the same time is that when I move the mouse cursor, there are visual ripples of water following it on the wall. Can't move, can't do anything, even after refresh. My ID is 273. Can't even click on my own name in the game or on any of the skill/log/weapons/items tabs, no reaction whatsoever. Help! :)

I'm guessing the merchants' inventories are shared for all of us? They're out of hp restoratives, no one buys the curing items, and I had a bad run of combats where I didn't get any health potions, so now I die on every encounter and can never restore hp.

...And there went a third of my coins to buy hp potions. I think my adventure is done.

As for the 1st there's a skill for that. Don't know if it's limited to Rogues only since that's what I'm playing but I had a spirit of wisdom teach it to me as well as the Wiseacre. At Expert level you can see every tile you've explored on every floor.

Awesome!
Since we got you here mind me asking if Climber is obtainable by Spirits of Wisdom or you get it through other means such as levelling or quest NPCs? I seem to wander aimlessly on L3 for the time being unable to fulfill the quest objectives or find a new path apart from a door with a unique puzzle I can't seem to figure out :P

Additionally are lockpicks possible loot from enemies or should I just keep trying to trade for them? :P

Comment has been collapsed.

Climber skill is a Rogues-only skill that can be obtained by them with the help of Spirit of Wisdom. Some skills can also be "bought" for coins by Wiseacre. Places that require certain skill or lockpick to enter are not necessary to visit and contain some bonuses.

Lockpicks can only be found in chests.

Another minor text bug: Although I have the Decryptor skill and see the message at L3 X18 Y3 the activity log message still displays the "too bad you can't understand what it says" bit
I mean it's valid since I don't understand what I should be doing, my original idea about what it is doesn't seem to be working, but still... xD
Edit: Du-uh! Found it xD

Also if there's anything spawned on the tile e.g. a Wisdom Spirit the message doesn't display unless the spawn is gone and you step out and back in of the tile again.
