Comedic Mentor Lines


The Mentor
The Mentor, while being a reliable source of information, can come out with some rather comedic lines. These lines tend to happen at particular times, or if you do something out of the ordinary. Page 137 of the Dungeon Keeper 2 Prima Strategy Guide provides a useful masterlist of all these lines in written form, but I've also put them here for direct reference.

No user input for 160 seconds
"The very rock yawns with anticipation of your next fascinating move."

No user input for 160 seconds and more than 4 Mistresses in the Torture Chamber
"You’ll go blind, you know."

After two hours of play on a level
"If you were any kind of a real Keeper you would have won by now."

If you own more than 10 Mistresses
"You have an excess of Mistresses. There’s a word for Keepers like you."

If you play at Midnight
"It is the Witching Hour. Curses are half-price."

If you play at 1am
"Surely, even Dungeon Keepers must retire to a Lair of some description?" (He yawns)

If you play at 2am
"Hello? Are you still there? The Imps are about to lock up."

If you play at 3am
"You know that low, broad, downy-soft item of furniture in the next room? It has the power to cure fatigue and restore vitality."

If you play at 3:15am
"Your nocturnal perseverance has earned you a hidden gaming tip...Go to bed!"

If you play on Halloween, both at midnight and 6:06pm
"Trick or treat. Keeper! Buwahahahahahaha!"

Random, every 40 minutes
"A lost soul has entered your Dungeon. Oh — no, it’s wandered out again."

Random, every 40 minutes
"A neutral creature sends word that he can’t make it today."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Big monsters! Big prizes! I love it!"

Random, every 40 minutes
"Hungry Demons cannot reach their toes."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Keeper, you have something unpleasant under your fingernail."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Micro-piglets stalk your Dungeon. Beware!"

Random, every 40 minutes
"Never eat anything bigger than your own head. Keeper."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Timing is...everything."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your Dungeon floor is lumpy. Order your minions to jump up and down."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your Dungeon is damp. Install central heating."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your Dungeon is full of yoghurt."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your Dungeon is on an incline. Angry creatures cannot play marbles."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your Lair has been re-carpeted."

Random, every 40 minutes
"Your minions demand cable."

Losing Lines

Losing Warcry
"You have lost your dungeon heart to the weakest lord in the entire kingdom of Harmonia! And we had such high hopes for you..."

Losing Enchantments
"You lost to the lord of the land of Sing-Song, where their motto is You hum it, and I'll join in. Unbelievable!...We really believed in you, but to fall at so pathetic a hurdle..."

Losing Greed
"You did all the hard work, built a dungeon and raised all that cash, only to watch someone else leave with it. Not much of a success, were you?"

Losing Snipers
"It seems that Lord Ludwig's faith in his followers was justified; they made mincemeat out of your minions and demolished your dungeon! A very poor show indeed..."

Losing Fear
"A sad end to a promising career, Keeper...If you are ruled by your fears, how can you rule the kingdom? Such a pity..."

Losing Besieged
"Truly pathetic, Keeper! You showed real promise! I allowed you to use the dark mistress and you allowed your dungeon heart to be destroyed!"

Losing Rout
"You have the reactions of a Bile Demon drunk on Snot-Wine! What did I ever see in you?..."

Losing Caverns
"You know what they say...If you can't stand the heat, you're a pathetic and broken Keeper. You now await the same fate as Gormagon."

Losing Aftermath
"When resources are limited, you use them wisely, not waste them randomly fighting your enemies! I taught you better than that, fallen one."

Losing Ambush
"The ambushers became the ambushed! You should have learned by now how to destroy someone so weak!"

Losing Smash
"Defeated by the effeminate elves and a weak Keeper...and you were doing so well...."

Losing Carnage
"I am greatly disappointed to see you defeated by this group of pathetic wretches! Perhaps I will offer them an alliance, you are not fit to serve me."

Losing Scavenge
"Malachai has proven himself to be your better! Perhaps he needs the guiding hand of a new mentor."

Losing Conversion
"So, you failed to convert a gaggle of simple-minded religious fanatics to your cause. How disappointing."

Losing Reap
"Even with the power to summon the great Reaper himself you lie defeated. You are not worthy of him, your end is deserved you pathetic wretch!"

Losing Crusade
"Overcome by the glamour of fairies, such a sad end. You will face eternity locked in a cell with your dim-witted Black Knight allies. I hear the fairies believe singing is a great cure for evil, something I'm sure you'll get used to."

Losing Storm
"Did the pretty little fairies not let you get past them?...Pathetic. I have better things to do with my time than watch you embarass yourself!"

Losing Creep
"It seems the king was correct to face you here...His mighty army now stands poised to reclaim this entire realm, and it is all your fault! You have failed me for the last time, Keeper!"

Losing Angellic
"You failed to gain favour with the Dark Angels. Soon this land shall have a new ruler...such a pity it was not you."

Losing Brotherhood
"You have defeated many powerful foes, but when it really mattered you proved...a miserable failure. Courage and nerves of steel are vital weapons in the armoury of any Keeper who desires success...A poor time to come up short on both."

Losing Interception
"After defeating countless strong heroes and many demented Keepers, you allow three foppish princes to evade your pitiful clutches! You are obviously not destined to rule."

Losing Regicide
"Only now...At the end, do you understand. You had it all, and you let it slip from your grasp. King Reginald has claimed all the Portal Gems for himself, and will use them for the power of good. I must return now to the darkness below. You however, shall remain here as a prisoner of the king...and I was so sure you were the one."
