Favourite/Least favourite dungeon?

… I could go on, but in all cases where Invisbility is available, the Invisible party has the easier time of it.

Please don't. Sometimes exploring an area and collecting stuff and not killing the creatures is much more fun … like for instance, Murmurwoods. I hate killing the resident Unicorns and Unicorn Colts, so I travel Invisibile. That way no one gets hurt and the Unicorns don't become extinct.

OK I think we have been off the subject of this forum question long enough.

@HodgePodge: I don't kill the Unicorns, either -- well, once, but that was a lich/evil party and I was trying to be in character.

[Kareeah Indaga]

No, I make certain I'm prepared for a dungeon before going in.

...so by killing everything else somewhere else first and looting the bodies, thus gaining gold, equipment and XP.

2) Walls of Mist. Knights get hit right and left and can't attack anything. Nothing attacks Invisible party.

…So long as you don’t bump into anything or stay past the spell’s duration. This applies everywhere, actually, but I’ll only mention it this once.

(And, off topic to this off topic but is it possible to go in to the Walls of Mist, slaughter everything in your path, grab all the keys, leave, come back, then use the three keys and leave by the back door since the dungeon’s reset and still count as completing the quest? I’ve never tried it before and I’m curious…)

3) Tunnels to Eofol. Knights get paralyzed/stoned. Medusae don't even attack Invisible party.

Ah-ah-ah, Tunnels to Eeofol have that pit you have to Jump out of, which breaks Invisibility. Then you get to RLH through the rest, dodging Medusa gazes.

All right, let's compare a few dungeons according to these rules.

Yes, lets:

Assassinating Tolbeti/Robert the Wise.
Slaying Xenofex.
Kill Wromthax the Heartless
Win five Arena battles at Lord level
Clearing the Haunted Mansion
Killing all the Griffins in Steadwick and Bracada
Clearing out the Wine Cellar

…in short, any quest with ‘kill monster X’ or ‘kill all of monster Y’ as its focal point will be easier for the Knight party, as Invisibility is useless in a straight fight and the Knight party will have gained more equipment and XP from killing the monsters the Invisibility party sneaks past. That’s not counting places with extremely narrow corridors and/or really big monsters that are possible to navigate and complete while Invisible, but much more frustrating.

Kareeah started it.

No YOU started it. Right here:

Any fool can beat the game with an invisibility crutch. It's like saying "The game is easy; put Cauri and a Dragon in your party!"

I try to give you play tips and you insult me and my play style.

[Omega_Destroyer]

Hmm... I must be one of the only people who never uses invisibility.

[darknessfood]

Well, without that spell, getting the bow in that low level is near impossible.

Hssst. Use Invisibility. Run really fast. Laugh as the Spark traps slowly wipe them out, while they float around, clueless.

For my part, the "Hssst" started it.

On a slightly technical note, you don't have to kill Robert the Wise -- it can be done with Invisibility/Stealing to get his Control Cube. You also don't have to use a Jump spell in the Tunnels to Eofol. You just have to have good timing.

[Kareeah Indaga]

That's the key phrase right there--at low level.

'Hssst, over here!' bothers you?

I am aware. I've done it once. However, Sorcerers can't learn Stealing--nor can any of the other classes who have access to Master level or higher Air magic (Druid, Archer). So by those rules, it's not possible.

You have a TEAM, remember... So probably a thief. He's a handy guy for disarming traps and of course stealing stuff...

Yeah, a team—a team of Sorcerers. A mixed party will usually let you do more than a single class party, but the parameters for the purpose of discussion was a team of all Knights vs. a team of Invisibility users; adding more to the equation invalidates any conclusion there may be. If I add a Thief to the hypothetical spellcaster party, I am no longer testing the relative effectiveness of Invisibility, I am testing the relative effectiveness of a combination of Invisibility + Stealing + Disarm Trap.

Oddly enough, the Silver Blades dungeon is one of the ones I didn't mind in MM6. Weird.

Wow! Burrow Downs is one of my least favorites, although I have to agree with the Wasp Hive in MM8 also as one of my least favorites.

Ah, ok. Well, if i can reply. Invisibility is pretty handy, but not in combination of stealing, because the sorcerers cannot get a high level in it...

Least favorite.
mm6- castle darkmoore.( long , full with anoying mobs)

Darkmoore - don't like or dislike in any way.
Nighon tunnels - Other than the lack of treasure this one is a nice gauntlet of activity.
Ancestral Tomb - agree with you there, Yuck!
1000 terrors - I love this one, especially the chess board
Outpost - hate the stairs, big yuck!
Temple of moon - yea, this one did have nice opponents and treasure
abandoned pirate keep - did not seem too abandoned to me? Need to give developler a dictonary and have them look up the word "abandoned."
Yanmir's Fort - nice dungeon but hate the bug if you actually kill Yanmir (you cannot complete the quest.)

[Gaidal Cain]

Or you could try replaying the game and actually read the messages you're shown when about to enter a place.

Naw, I do not see where this will make me like it any more. I will just remain indiferent to this dungeon as it was not all that bad of a dungeon, I just hate this dungeons name.

[Alan06]

I really love castle darkmoor...

i like all dungeons but the worst i think its the temple of snake. How its posible that a gold dragon entered to that tiny place ?

[accabear]

Why in particular doesn't anyone like the Silver HELMS (not blades) outpost in MM6? I am pretty sure there are worse dungeons. And them Master Monks aren't too hard.

Yeah the Barrow Downs is pretty awesome. What's wrong with the forest filled with fire breathing trees? Their quite easy and provide some interesting hit and run games with a low level arrow toting party.

Overall I also thought that MM6 dungeon's were fairly dull... perhaps I also have a total lack of patience too. Patience to bear with something which is dull is not really my idea of a game, especially when my time is somewhat limited and the appeal and magic of early game MM6 wears off.
