Hello, steamgifters! 😃

It's Christmas time! And it is time to join a special adventure in Steam Dungeons! :)

"An Unexpected Frost" 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

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.

A lot of treasures (giveaways) are hidden in the dungeon and anyone who finds them can join them!



  • Previous events

> "The Legend of TItans" quest (5.0)

> Halloween quest 2016

> Quest for Dungeon Heart #2

> Quest for Dungeon Heart #1 (4.0)

> Game of sWords 3.0

> Game of sWords 2.0

> Here is the topic of the first one, which started back in November 2 years ago.



  • Get prepared before you start your adventure!

I highly recommend to visit sWords Library and read a Strategy Guide to know what to expect from the game. Also, make sure to look through FAQ whenever you have a question about the game.



  • What's new in Steam Dungeons?

A lot of changes have been made since the last event based on the received feedback. You can view the list of changes here.



  • Important notes

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).


Winners limits: Warriors: 10, Wizards: 10, Rogues: 10.

Winners get access to all giveaways available in the current dungeon! (60+)

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 22 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 dungeon! :)

The only requirement is that your Steam account should be more than 90 days old.

Bump for making a push and finishing as the 10th wizard. Thanks for the fun quest as always!

Favorite moment of this game: killing my first Ice Giant, getting 250K exp at a moment when the next level needed just 50K and then as a result jumping 4 levels from 14 to 18. All those points to were a joy to distribute. Killing my second made me jump only 2 levels to L20. :)

Second favorite moment was when the final boss couldn't touch me and got killed in 3 strikes, but then on the way back a turtle with ~40HP managed to land a blow, taking 6 damage.

I'm stuck. Only ways out have a Magic Barrier and an engulfed passage. Explosive Vial didn't work on the second one, no idea what to do. Apart from that I have water tiles and one tile with mining. I tried mining several times, but my EP runs out (used a lot of potions for that) and nothing happens. Am I supposed to mine all the tiles so I can go further? All I do right now is walking in circles and checking walls to get some potions.

You need to swim to get out.
Without the swim skill, you have 5 actions before drowning. Checking counts as an action, so best not check the walls, unless you can get back to surface withing the drown limit.
When drowning you will lose hp each move.

So... I need to run in circles till I walk into a spirit that sells me the swim skill for dark souls? Or how is it aquired?

No, you can swim, but not when you are overburdened.

I'm really sorry if I'm being stupid here, but I looked everywhere and I don't know how to swim. I'm at 21.5/28kg, my status is normal, I keep drowning and losing HP.

Not all walls are walls, some are secret passages. If you check a secret passage, you will go through.

No longer have any drive to play the dungeon after the winner limit has been filled up. Is it possible to change class to one which still has winner slot available and reset your character completely?

No way to switch, it would also be a bit late for that I think, only 1 rogue spot left and Barefoot Monkey is close to finishing.
You can still find a lot of the giveaways without finishing. There are several chests that contain treasures and if you are a good person Santa might visit you as well.
You probably won't get all, but still a decent amount.
If you finish outside the limit, you will also receive 1 extra.

Are the treasury and sacred hall doors unlocked by the same set of numbers that unlock the first door?

Comment has been collapsed.

No, every door has a different code to unlock.
The code for the door in the prayer hall(10x10 code grid) can be found in the hall of sacred knowledge. This is where the npc tells you to look for it.
As for the treasury, that code is somewhere else.

Oh, the sacred hall could've made stuff easier.. ._.

"somewhere else" as in only accessible by players who have certain skills(cross magic barriers, jump over pits, etc)?
because I've melted all the walls of ice, picklocked available doors and chests, broken cracked walls, pressed buttons, accelerated over traps and pretty much explored all the dungeon but I still have that door with no keyhole before the boss room and the 5x5 treasury door.

No, everyone can get the code.
Someone tells you the code, before giving you a taste of what is inside the treasury.

I've still not found that code and I'm beginning to think that that "someone" is a quest character and that I've already missed the chance to get the code...

Yes, that someone is a quest character.
Most likely you missed it, but maybe not, it isn't part of the main quest,
Do you have any unused items in your artifacts?

Nope, finished all quests.. I think I know now who that person is

Any tips for defeating the final boss? I have been one shot killed by him so many times in a row now, despite having a Stone Turtle pet that used to be good at blocking attacks for me.

There was a quest item that protects a little bit against his frost attacks I believe, do you have it? It's behind coded door where a sort of flaming phoenix guy was, with fire walls and stuff. It helped me but he still did lots of damage (I died in 2 hits instead of 1 lol... but I wasn't at level 25 yet) Also try to upgrade your weapon as much as you can with gems, to give it more damage (citrines give fire damage, he might be weak to fire damage but I didn't notice honestly).
Can't think of more tips right now, good luck!

Thanks for the tips. No, I don't have the quest item. I am level 25 though. I guess I need to go back to exploring the dungeon to find the code I missed. :-/

Ahh okay, yea I had troubles a little bit too but I found some tips from others so I hope SErVER won't mind if I share that: for the part with the "coded" door I think the quest gave you access to the Hall of Knowledge, look carefully at this hall because it should give you, well you know... the knowledge!

Just a reminder that "An Unexpected Frost" quest will finish this Saturday. There's still time to find lots of treasures in the dungeon and complete the quest even if you haven't started it yet!

There's one thing I've been meaning to ask. Early on I saw people chatting about needing more dark souls and trading them for valuable stuff. Like they were needed for something late-game. But I never encountered any use for them except the normal spirit of wisdom stuff. Did I miss anything?

As normal player, you can't spend them all on skills, due to skill limit.
As a patron you have access to more skills and the normal amount of dark souls isn't enough to learn the maximum possible.
I used around an extra 20 dark souls from other players, since I didn't have enough myself.
Not that I really needed them at that point.
