Conversion

Level #: 13
Land: Cherish
Primary goal: Crush keeper Malleus' vampire hoards and take the gem from him
Secondary goals: First, capture and convert the monks of St. Cuthbert; second, use your converted minions against Malleus' undead hoards

So, did you like having an undead army in the previous mission? Did you? Really? Huh? Wow. Well, that's too bad. You must work from a different angle this time around. It's worth it, though. I promise.

Some fans of this game may be saying to themselves by this point, "Gee, I really like the dungeon mistress. She's swell. But I don't feel like she's being properly used. I mean, she has such ample... talents." Don't fret. This level is based on conversion. And we all know that torture is the most effective way to convert someone to your cause. And who knows more about torture than the one... the only... the dungeon mistress.


Let's see. Malleus is one of your many dungeon keeper foes. He has a portal gem that you need (and you are, I assure you, far more deserving than Malleus of that gem). He has vampire hoards. Who would be most effective against a vampire hoard? A monk! But all monks are good. Well, they were all good. Times change.

Make sure you have a large prison and a large torture chamber. Also, make sure you have a decent workshop. (You get to use the freeze trap in this level, after all!) The key to conversion is this: torture them until they're almost dead (two remaining petals on their health flower is low enough). Heal them. If you wish to have fun with poultry, drop juicy chickens on them. The more you convert, the happier you'll be in the long run.
