- Not to be confused with Cloaking.
Invisibility (DK1[3]) or Invisible (DK2[4]) is a creature spell in Dungeon Keeper, Dungeon Keeper 2, and Dungeon Keeper Online that hides the caster from enemy eyes.
Dungeon Keeper[]
| "Cast on one of your minions, it makes the host creature invisible" |
| — Dungeon Keeper Manual |
Similarly to the Conceal Monster Keeper spell, Invisibility hides the caster from most enemies. This can hide the number of these creatures you have from the enemy as they train or research. It is a very useful spell if you need a creature to be discreet while in possession. However, an invisible creature "decloaks" when (s)he uses any creature spell (including Invisibility itself), meaning the ability has limited use in combat as well as making it more difficult and irritating while on a stealth mission. Invisibility often does not work against the A.I. However, enemy Thieves that have access to the spell use it to sneak past defenses and plunder Treasure Rooms. This is a particular problem in Level 18: Blaise End.
Ghosts, Vampires, Samurai,[5] and creatures with the Sight spell can see invisible creatures.

Dungeon Keeper 2[]
| "Renders the caster of the spell invisible, therefore allowing the caster to slip, undetected, past enemy troops, free to commit all manner of dastardly deeds." |
| — Dungeon Keeper 2 Manual |
In Dungeon Keeper 2, Invisible is a creature spell, and only learnt by two creatures: the Rogue and the Thief. As before, it allows them to slip by undetected. It helps them reach enemy Support creatures more safely.
Tips[]
- Unlike Cloaking, Rogues and Thieves can use this ability automatically without Possessing them and manually doing it as the player. Although it can be done manually while possessing too.
- Floor traps still get activated when an invisible creature steps on them.
- Invisible creatures are (supposedly) untargetable by damaging direct keeper spells, such as Thunderbolt, Turncoat, and Chicken.
Bugs[]
- Invisible Rogues and Thieves still cast shadows.
Trivia[]
- The spell has a highly unique sound effect.
- Uncloaking is not supposed to affect Invisibility, and doesn't.
- Keepers can see enemy Invisible Rogues and Thieves, also evidenced by the page main DK2 image. Further research is still needed into if this is intentional or a bug, Keeper units too or Hero only, in God View too or in Possession only.
- A.I. keepers see invisible units but are programmed not to act on them.
Dungeon Keeper Online[]
This spell is learnt by Rogues and Ninja.[1][2]
