Dungeon Keeper 2

Dungeon Keeper 3 trailer

A game trailer for Dungeon Keeper 3 is available for viewing from the Main Menu-->Extras page. An official Dungeon Keeper 3 has never been released.

Gags

• Dungeon Keeper 2 can keep tabs on the system time. Play too late into the night, and the advisor will tell the player (out of the blue and with no warning): "Your nocturnal presence has prompted the following secret hint: GO TO BED!"
• If the player doesn't do anything for a while, the game will say: "The very rock yawns in expectation of your next, fascinating move."
• If a dungeon attracts almost exclusively Dark Mistresses, the advisor will say: "You have an excess of Mistresses... There's a word for Keepers like you..."

German version

In the German version the blood around corpses was removed and the torture animations were changed so that the torturing itself can't be seen. This is normally done by editing a single Windows registry entry.

Horny

Unlike in the original Dungeon Keeper, the Horned Reaper in this game, Horny, cannot be summoned in every level where the player has the right ingredients. In Dungeon Keeper 2, Horny is a unique character who must be specially summoned, and cannot appear more than once at a time.

References

• Whenever the player selects a spell, an eerie voice says the spell's name in Latin. The Latin name for the Create Gold spell read by the advisor is Expressus Americanus. This is an obvious joke referring to the American Express credit cards.
• In 1999, German hip-hop duo Sven Franzisko oder Lotte Ohm released the single Hinter diesen Mauern (The Dungeon Keeper), a song from the perspective of the Horned Reaper, who is also prominently featured in the official music video and the cover art of the single.

Secrets

Build a casino and set the bar at "generous". When one of the monsters wins the jackpot, the advisor loudly announces: "Jackpot winner!" and Disco Inferno begins playing throughout the dungeon. In addition, all monsters inside the casino will begin disco-dancing, each with their own style and moves. This little moment of evil frivolity lasts a couple of minutes.

PlayStation version

At the end of the 1998 reveal trailer (Horny's Interview, mirror available here), Dungeon Keeper 2 was announced to be "Soon available for PC, Playstation and TV. The PlayStation version was eventually cancelled, and so was the TV version (whatever it was intended to be).
