He's very difficult, very quick! My tactics would be to move, hit, save. If you have the

adamantite weapon (from the island), then this fight is easier
, but speed and perseverance is key.

Speed is the key.

That last post probably didnt make sense since I got DMPU mixed up with Eye of the Beholder.
I can't get past the portcullis to reach the worms room because I can't jump sideways fast enough
I play from a laptop so I don't have a side numpad
Any way to designate keys?

I am stuck at the two levels below the worms.
These two levels work together as in the original DM. Slimers and Couatls. Skeletons and Beholders.
Found a door where I need a ruby key. EDIT I got the key.
Another place is at a deadly fire ball shooter, I managed to get past it, killed a bunch of skeletons. I see stairs throught walls.
From there I cannot go back because of the fireball shooter. EDIT I found the trick to go back.
Any clue or hint ?

Next to the file RTC.exe, you have the file config.txt.
Edit the text in this file.

From
KEY_STEP_LEFT [TAB] NUMPAD1
KEY_STEP_RIGHT [TAB] NUMPAD3

To
KEY_STEP_LEFT [TAB] Q
KEY_STEP_RIGHT [TAB] W

This is the first time I played DM for about 2 years, and I have to say: great stuff so far Paul! I really love the concept and enjoy the execution tremendously so far. I only reached the end of level 3 so far and am not sure if I missed something in the Matrix (didn't find a key there).

One question: I noticed this dungeon uses "CSB rules", meaning the stats get lowered significantly if you reincarnate characters. Once I noticed, I restarted as having a decrease of 5-10 points in each stat seemed a bit harsh to me. Intentional or not?

I now finished level 6 and am slowly exploring level 8. Loving it so far! In level 6, I only found one Vorpal Blade, and the puzzle with the two plates and the pit took me forever to figure out.
I couldn't get to the end of the fireball corridor. Tried luring some beholders to eat up the fireballs, but they are not centered, so one of the fireballs still hits and kills me (that's what you get for using 4 characters so you can't dodge a single fireball...). Is there anything necessary in there?

Hi,

I am now stuck at level 6. Got about 3 iron keys, got thru to the part with "Test your strength", the other stairs up to level 5 and the tele to couatl-area at level 5, got ruby-key, passed the fireball-corridor, then came back from other side to the area with key-puzzles...
so I am going in circle, and cannot find any way to go down...
In original DM it was near the room with speed-bow and chest. I found similar area in DMPU - but no way down...

I event went all around to find a torch, since there was one empty torch-place on the wall - no effect...

Ok, sorry, finally I found it. It is sometimes useful to look for the solutions in the same place (coordinates) like in the original game1

Tried to download it, but none of the four links from the first post work for me.
The sendspace links give the result that the file has expired, while the dmweb links lead to a http 404 error :(

Terkio just posted the link above. Go to the One drive folder he linked to, open the Custom Dungeons sub folder and in there are two RTC files for Parallel Universe.

Indeed, they did a great job gathering, saving a lot of DM good stuff in this "One Drive".

In the "Ghost-Skeletons Arena" there is a room with 4 doors and a scroll saying "Imprison your enemy".
I locked up there a thief, but nothing happened... Is this a riddle or just a joke?

I have been playing this over the past few days. I'm quite impressed, I made a dungeon called DMPlus in DMute about 20 years ago that was an alternative to DM but it certainly wasn't as challenging as this.

Does anyone know how I find the boat? There are two locked doors in this area that I haven't found keys for so I am guessing it is behind one or the other.

I tried with another monster (more easy to capture) and when in the jail, a pit closed which give access to fire throwers ...

The thief is not the right monster

I spend 1 hour to find the solid key on fireball level, but didn't find it (it's not on the ground, and the darkness spell does not work).... I stuck on this level, all other parts of level explored.

By the way :
- In the 4 riddle room i didn't find the riddle "To breathe or not to breathe", i tried
Spoiler
(empty flask, ya potion, several hemet type ...)
- On the second level one door still close with a green jelly behind near the stairs to level 3, how to open it ?

Have you been to the corridor starting south-east, with some skeletons and some very strong mummies at the end? I am not sure, but maybe somewhere there, check the bottom properly.

Sorry, I am technically unable to create a "spoiler-warning", so just a clue for you:
to open this door neither ZO-spell will help, neither FUL IR will. But maybe a spell somehow associated to what you see behind the door?...
