👉 Fort Ludios is a hidden, highly guarded stronghold belonging to Croesus, the richest being in the dungeon.
Location: Accessible via a magic portal located in a vault between levels 12 and 21 of /Dungeon/The Dungeons of Doom. The branch consists of a single level.
Message: You know a portal to Fort Ludios is on the level if you hear the sound of someone counting money (which indicates a vault, but if you hear the sound of a zoo or guards on patrol outside a vault, the portal might be there). Actually, there is no direct message for the portal itself, but the presence of a vault is required.
Characteristics
- Layout: A massive, moated fortress surrounded by water. The fortress contains a huge throne room, barracks, and a treasure vault.
- Inhabitants: Teeming with heavily armed soldiers, lieutenants, and captains. In the center sits Croesus himself.
- Traps: The entrance is heavily trapped, and the moat contains dangerous aquatic monsters like Kraken or giant eels if you fall in.
Croesus
Croesus is a formidable opponent. He is heavily armored and uses a dual-wielding attack. Defeating him yields a massive pile of gold, gems, and valuable equipment.
