The Art of Dungeons

[ajardoor]

Mini-bosses in a "memory palace" dungeon could be crafted from big moments in the artist's life.

For example;

"My wedding day" - the mini-boss is the bride. (Still in her wedding dress.)

"The birth of my son" - the mini-boss is the child. (Not literally, of course, but a twisted monsterous beast vaguely in the shape of an infant.)

"The day my best friend was killed in an industrial accident that cleaved him in two" - the mini-boss is the animated severed halves of the best friend. (One half flies through the air and casts spells while the other half wields some mighty metal weapon cobbled together from the malfunctioning machine that killed him.)

"The day I found my father had hung himself in despair" - the mini-boss is the animated corpse still hanging from the rafters.
