For the bonus torture rooms scene, see Torture Dungeon.

The Torture Chamber is a room in Dungeon Keeper, Dungeon Keeper 2, Dungeon Keeper Online, and Dungeon Keeper Mobile. It is used to convert heroes, rebel creatures and enemy creatures to your side. This room attracts the fearsome Mistress, who regularly uses this room.

Dungeon Keeper[]

In Dungeon Keeper, this room is used to convert heroes and enemy creatures so you can use them to your own evil ends. The appearance looks similar to several platforms with dormant torturers in cloaks. The cloaked torturer will proceed to use specific styles of torture on different types of units, for example if an Imp is dropped on the table the cloaked torturer will hit him with a pick-axe.

Dungeon Keeper early torture art

Early torture art

You can also torture your own creatures, which will increase the productivity of other creatures of that type by increasing their speed by 25 per cent (and they take half pay),[2] but this hurts them over time and will result in anger if torture continues for too long. The speed buff provided by the Torture Chamber stacks with those of slapping and using the Speed spell, making it particularly useful if time is of the essence.

When trying to convert prisoners, heal them or feed them chickens, to reduce the chance that they will die before conversion. If the creature being tortured has the Heal spell, it will heal itself if picked up and dropped back into the Torture Chamber.

Should a victim die in the chamber, it will be resurrected as a Ghost, and all creatures of its type gain around 5 annoyance.[2] The Ghost spawns at the same experience level as the victim, and their magical abilities may make them useful units if the wages of converted enemies can not be afforded. Ghosts themselves can be tortured; if one dies in the Torture Chamber, it will spawn a new Ghost at the same level as normal.

Torturing a creature for too long reduces the annoyance accumulation for every creature of the same type during the torture.[2]

Dungeon Keeper 2[]

Torture Chamber art Dungeon Keeper 2

Concept art

The Torture Chamber changes quite a bit in Dungeon Keeper 2: namely, the cloaked torturers have been replaced by automated electric chairs and torture wheels, and the unique torture styles are removed. The Mistress will spend most of her time here, torturing herself or her victims. There is a level based around the torture room, as you need to convert the princes Tristan, Felix, and Balder.

Torture wheels are also placed on the walls, so you should remember to leave 3 tiles of wall around the chamber wherever possible to make more room for pain and sorrow.

You should often try to convert enemy creatures if you can afford their wages; the exception being the Thief, which is generally too weak to be worth the effort (The Dwarf is even weaker than the Thief, but their lack of basic needs and their ability to work like Imps more than make up for that.). Converted heroes will only become unhappy if sharing the same connected Lair tiles as your portal creatures or if guarding, training, or working in the same room, and they are often just as strong or stronger than their evil creature counterparts.

Any converted creature does not count towards your Portal food count, so you can have a larger army if you convert every enemy you defeat, so long as you can afford the wage. If your money is limited, you should only try to convert the highest levels of your enemies.

Trivia[]

  • Fireflies, when dropped on electric chairs, are instantly killed (lightning is lethal to them).
  • Cloaked Torturers can not be tortured.

Overview[]

This room Is one of the last rooms a keeper can access. It unlocks the powerful Mistress who can increase the effectiveness of other minions and immortals.

It also has one of the longest firing ranges of all the buildings within Dungeon Keeper.

  • Built-In defense travels very far and very fast
  • Unlocks the Mistress
  • 4x4 building
  • Effective against Immortals due to single target damage
  • Does lightning damage which is effective against Tiny and Ghosts
  • Is not defended by a Mistress during player raids
  • Bolstering increases minion and immortal damage
