?It?s a Hellhound-eat-Hellhound world out there. You can either emerge victorious or have your oozing, puffy corpse used to stuff the pillow of some strange woman with too many teeth.?

To survive, you must have Dungeon Keeper Official Secrets. Inside you will find all the rules . . . and how to thwart them; your enemies? weaknesses and how to exploit each one; and hints on how to carve your way in and cut all of your enemies down to creature kibble!

Dungeon Keeper Management Academy supplies:
• Two Types of Maps for Each Realm
See not only the realm prior to your incursion, but also a visual analysis of your enemies? probable expansion plans.
• Specific Location AdviceThere are thousands of ways to conquer the world, but not all of them work everywhere.
• Detailed Facts and StatsGet to know the Creature of Light and Dark—study who you?re up against, as well as who you?ve got working for you.
• Tips for Every SituationPick the twisted brains of the Dark Creator-Overlords and Tester-Fiends. They?ve been there before, and their advice is the best.

Some people would rather light a candle than curse the darkness. They make excellent targets for the rest of us.

Amazon.com Review

Dungeon Keeper may have a lot in common with other adventure games, but this time, you are the monster. Your goal is to conquer the countryside, grab all the gold, build the biggest and best dungeon, and kill all those pesky heroes. Torture them first, of course. It would be a shame to ruin such wickedly madcap atmosphere with too serious a treatment, but worry not: Bart Farkas makes his strategy guide as enjoyable as the game itself. It's structured like the curriculum of a school for dungeon keepers. You will learn how to build your career, hire the best help, and work smarter, not harder. The résumés of your potential evil employees, for example, are a riot. But Farkas doesn't let the jokes interfere with solid, easy-to-find guidance. The book is loaded with strategic tips and charts full of the information needed to make wise choices. One of Dungeon Keeper's greatest strengths is that it can be customized to play however you like, so there's no single way to beat a level. Still, the tips and information here will help you plan effective deviltry--and may give you some ideas that hadn't occurred to you before.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strategy guide every Dungeon Keeper player should own., July 10, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Bullfrog's Official Guide to Dungeon Keeper (Paperback)
Do you have Dungeon Keeper? If you answered, "yes," this book is a must own. It provides superb strategic advice for every single dungeon you find yourself in, including the ones you might *not* find yourself in: the hidden dungeons. Yes, it also tells you how to unearth the hidden dungeons. Not only are there winning maps and hints for each dungeon, but this book also includes hilarious interviews/stats comparisons with each creature type, and a great general strategy section that will teach how how to effectively manage a dungeon. Beginners will also find a step by step tutorial that will teach you more than the game's manual could. By the way, this book isn't just a repackaged manual selling for $20. Read the manual, then buy this book. It's a must have


5.0 out of 5 stars More proof that official strategy guides are the best!!!, November 21, 1998

This review is from: Bullfrog's Official Guide to Dungeon Keeper (Paperback)
The book is a must-have for anyone who owns dungeon keeper. It has profiles for every creature that you can own...good or bad. It explains every room available, what it is, how it works, and how to get the most out of them. There are strategies and tips for every situation of every stage and maps of each dungeon to show you where the enemy and the secrets are. If you own dungeon keeper get this book, even if you don't want a strategy guide, get this book; you don't have to read the strategy parts, you can read the extra helpful information about the creatures and rooms that the manual doesn't have.
