| "One of your simpler offensive spells, Thunderbolt hurls down a bolt of electrical energy on an enemy creature that has had the gall to enter your domain." |
| — Dungeon Keeper 2 Manual |
The Thunderbolt in Dungeon Keeper 2 spell deals light damage and stuns enemy creatures, negating their Fear effect on your creatures while they are stunned.
Dungeon Keeper 2[]
This is the second spell you gain in the single player story campaign. Primarily it confers light but good amount of damage to all enemy creatures on your own claimed land or your Wooden and Stone Bridges. Secondarily, though more importantly, it stuns them making them fall to the ground for a short period of time.
Tips[]
- The go-to precise tool to down a foolish enemy creature who stumbled onto your territory so you can imprison it.
- Precision tool: You don't need to kill your targeted enemy or enemies.
- Just stun them enough to become easy prey for your nearby creatures, who are not stunned, or long range traps, or just cooperate with how other effects also stun them, like Lightning and Boulder Traps, Fairy and Mistress Lightning spells, Firefly and Fairy Whirlwind spells.
- Or just delay them until you can react the way you want, like selling the bridge from under them, clicking on other spells, like Inferno, Turncoat, Chicken Spells instead, or keeping them on a step-on/pressure trap until it can activate again.
- If you really want to roleplay as an evil god, you can cast this spell on unnecessary targets.
- [Ctrl] + [Left Click] on your own creatures,
- Torture victims (this will not free them),
- your own creatures even if they are the ones being tortured, either voluntarily or otherwise.
Bugs[]
- No major issues, but tries to follow a resurrecting Vampire to a distant Graveyard, and looks awkward.
Trivia[]
- Most people have a memory of this spell because it can be flashy when first unlocked, if the player only played a little of the campaign.
Dungeon Keeper Online[]
In Dungeon Keeper Online, this spell's name translates to Electric Shock. It is otherwise very similar, if not identical, to its Dungeon Keeper 2 counterpart.[3]
