The Electronic Wireless Show podcast episode 185: the best dungeons in games special
Nate returns, and with him the suspicious smell of eggs and salt water. But also high jinks! We discuss toilet meals, revenge, and content theft of “It’s me, Blorko!” and other instances of stolen Twitter value. If value exists on Twitter. This is, of course, all prelude to us talking about some of our favorite dungeons in video games – there are a lot! Shout out to Zelda, which Nate hasn’t played, but also Hades, Elden Ring and – of course – Dungeon Keeper. And many more!
There’s no Henry Cavill update this week, but there is a nailbiter Cavern Of Lies to look forwards to. So, Matthew says The Northman has a fight in it that is the closest you’ll get to a Dark Souls film. Look out for that.

Elden Ring has a good “evil Hogwarts” dungeon, and there are some great catacombs in Dark Souls 3 (including skeleton wheels). Nate is a fan of the snake fight in Sekiro.
The Age Of Empires II DLC Lords Of The West has a really good dungeon unit (which Nate says is the origin of the word dungeon in the first place.
In a surprise twist, I am not the one to bring up Vampires: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Matthew points out that it has a great dungeon level that isn’t a dungeon in the spooky haunted hotel, but also has one of the worst dungeon sewer segments in any game ever.
Nate is a fan of Druidstone: The Secret Of The Menhir Forest, a labor of love from the devs behind Legend of Grimrock.
You know what’s a great dungeon? Hades’ underworld, that’s what. Very good themed dungeon, is that. Also: Dungeon Keeper, a dungeon that you build and run yourself. good work
Shout out to the original Baldur’s Gate DLC Tales Of The Sword Coast, which had a chess-based dungeon that Matthew cheesed using fireballs.
