The Guild Lair was a room in Dungeon Keeper.
Overview[]
concept art
A Guild Lair was required for a Keeper to join a Guild, and thus enjoy Guild perks. A Guild Lair was a room without any defences of its own; however, it was inhabited by minions withdrawn from a guild. As the Guild Lair gained levels, the population threshold of minions that could be withdrawn at a single time increased, allowing for more and more powerful units to be withdrawn at a single time.
A Guild Lair's minions needed to be restocked whenever minions inside died during a defence, or a guild banner was used in an attack. As such, a Guild Lair which was not maintained was as much of a defensive liability as a Warehouse or Treasury.
Notes[]
- Unlocked access to Guilds, Chat and Powerful Perks.
- Unlocked access to Minion lending
- Levelling up your Guild Lair increased the health of your Guild Banner in Raid mode
- The red flags in the corners of the room had the logo of Bullfrog Productions, the creators of Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2.
- While defending, minions would be released once enemies were within a certain range, otherwise they would stay hidden.
- A max of five minions at a time could be released from a defending Guild Lair, once a minion died if there was another ready, it would spawn instantly afterwards, provided there were enemies in range.
- Guild Lairs at higher levels had very high health.
- Ghosts would travel the furthest out of all minions released from Guild Lairs.
- All minions except the Dragon Whelp could be donated and withdrawn.
- Ghosts and Vampires released from enemy Guild Lairs could wreak havoc on your armies.
- While upgrading a Guild Lair, it would not release minions if you were raided or defending a survival raid or campaign. However, you could still donate, withdraw, and deploy Guild Minions during a raid.

- It is most likely that a level 6 Dungeon Heart is all that is required to max level a Guild Lair
