Story:
Did you enjoy Dungeon Master II? Do you think it would have been more fun if it was a little more difficult?

That's basically what this "custom dungeon" is. I made a ton of modifications to increase the difficulty of good old DM2. All credit for the actual dungeon goes to George Gilbert and FTL.

Saying much more would be spoiling for some, so...

Notes:
I've playtested it once myself, and it should be free of any bugs. Please let me know if you find any and I will fix'em! Any other comments, questions, concerns, or emotional outbursts are also welcome!

Some juicy details:

• Spoiler

  Torham is no longer forced - your party starts empty, and he's in a mirror. His stuff is still around, though.
• Spoiler

  No more crazy money from rapid-spawning Axemen, Fairy Caps, etc. - you'll need to conserve your cash.
• Spoiler

  No freebie Morningstar at the beginning - you'll still find a decent weapon, but you'll need to level a bit to use it's good attack modes.
• Spoiler

  Nabbing the Clan Key pieces won't be so easy this time - be prepared!
• Spoiler

  You'll find some new monsters floating around. I used only ones that I thought fit decently with the graphics theme of DM2.
• Spoiler

  Finally, Lightning Bolts can be useful...
• Spoiler

  Fury swords have more... longevity
• Spoiler

  The Numenstaff now does it's Triple Fireball of Death attack - or at least pretty darn close.
• Spoiler

  Excsymyr's Melee hits twice as hard, as in original DM2.
• Spoiler

  Vorax and Blue Steele rebalanced also - these 3 now form a sort of "top tier trinity" of weapons.
• Spoiler

  More arrows early on from shops.
• Spoiler

  Many, many other minor changes.

Even though I don't really like DM2, this does sound interesting. I might eventually try it when I feel up to playing DM2 again, but looking at my current schedule (both work and private), it will at least be several months before I try this.
Oh, and welcome to the forums! I'm always glad when we attract new members, especially when they are productive in regards to custom dungeons.

Indeed, welcome!

I've already added your dungeon to the dungen list, I will give it a try at some point!

Welcome, Durandal!

Well - the name Durandal kind of rings a bell, but I can't remember... is it from Tolkien's Middle-Earth?

[Sealtiel]

Welcome, Durandal! I'm glad you did that, as DM2 was good but really easy. And the only place Durandal rings a bell from me is that it was one of the "master's" names from Breath of Fire 3.

Thanks guys! The dungeon started as a simple "fix what's broken" mod for my own purposes and expanded from there. After discovering the site and trying a couple of other dungeons (haven't finished any yet), I figured I might as well share what I had done.

My name comes from a few sources. Durandal was the sword used by Roland, one of Charlemagne's paladins. It's also the name of a particularly awesome AI in a series of Doom-era games called Marathon. Made by Bungie. The 2nd game in the series is available on Xbox Arcade as Marathon: Durandal.

Hi!

I'm currently trying to gather version information and backup data for all custom dungeon.

Can you confirm that DM2-Legendary has been made completely with RTC V0.49?

Would you maybe be willing to provide the source files for it for backup purposes? Of course you still decide yourself whether they are just backupped or whether they shall be uploaded publicly too.

I know your post is really old but....

To get the onyx key you have to put the skull key back in the alcove that both were in.
