Cheats/Game help/Guides

[dk2player]

Well, this is a topic I thought we needed here. We can put on what we know about the gameplay (not technical problems) like "I can't finish level 11, help!" or if you made a guide to help newbies (if there are any). Use notepad to make them, please.

Cheat codes
Press CTRL+ALT+C to activate the cheat mode, then type (including spaces):

Skipping a level
To skip a level, add the command line parameter -level [level] after the shortcut of the game or by using "Run..." application. Levels are stored into the Data\Editor\Maps directory. Campaign levels are named : level1 through level20 (with level 6, 11 and 15 that are in multiple versions), Secret levels are named : secret1 through secret5 and My Pet Dungeon levels are named : mpd1 through mpd7. Example :
"C:\Program Files\Bullfrog\Dungeon Keeper 2\DKII.exe" -level level3

New moon level
One of the five secret levels is only accessible when you play the game on a new moon day.

Magic boxes glitch
When you can get your hand on a Bonus Magic Box, make an imp to bring it to your Library to have access to its icon in the Spell panel. Then, pause the game by pressing ESC and click on the Magic Box icon : the effects are applied but the icon is still there! Repeat as necessary.

Keeping Horny infinitely
If you want to keep Horny for an unlimited time, drop tons of Skeletons around the Temple so that they generate sufficient mana to sustain Horny for however long you want.

Guides
I made 4 guides, creature, spell, traps/doors, and rooms. You can download them here: My Guides
