EE:Curious

This feature is part of the Extreme Edition fan-made expansion.

Investigations, also known as Curious Dungeons, are special, remixed versions of the home dungeon that award a special badge on completion. For all intents and purposes, they are their own dungeon that share class completion and badges with their standard counterpart, as Curious dungeons can have different difficulty settings, special rules, and even bosses from the usual dungeon. In almost all cases, they are much more difficult, too.

Vanilla Dungeons

Doubledoom	Ultradoom?!	6 random bosses are spawned instead of 2.
Rock Garden	United We Stand	Half the monsters have 50% physical resistance, and half have 50% magical resistance (stacking on top of a monster's innate resistances). The 2 golems that spawn on levelup have 90% of either one (1 with 90% magical, one with 90% physical.) Earth Guardian has 90% magical resist and double health, Stone Guardian has 90% magical resist and double health. The third random boss is unchanged.
Creeplight Ruins	Call from Beyond	Every time you level up, all monsters level down by 1. Sacrificing the goat not only turns all cultists into Shades (Even Anoobis, changing his first form!) but also levels all enemies UP to 10.
Hexx Ruins	Endless Horde	All monsters spawn 2 revenants on death, that are equal to YOUR level instead of the monster's. Stheno gains significantly more resists per monster petrified.

Halls of Steel	Stalking Shadows	No Illusions naturally spawn. Instead, on level up, 3 Illusions appear at the dungeon entrance and will hunt you, like Revenants. They have  No Experience and spawn as your level. In addition, there is an extra boss in the dungeon, called Illusory, who will stop the spawns of Illusions if slain.
Ick Swamp	Blighted Overgrowth	All plants have Corrupting Aura: 1. All monsters spawn random plants, number based on half their level, including bosses. Itsssama blinks.
The Labyrinth	Rat in a Maze	4 Minotaur bosses, all identical, stalk you through the dungeon from the very beginning. They work exactly like Rex, but with half his HP and gaining 1% of both resistances every time a wall is destroyed. The random boss that is usually here is removed.
Cursed Oasis	Dimensional Dissonance	All monsters are in the cursed realm, except bandits. Always 1 bandit for each level, independent of the normal monster count (including bandits, there's 11 lvl1's, 6 lvl2's, 3 lvl9's...). Cursed Shade is impossible(999 damage, 9999 HP, 90% both resists), and Cursed Dragon has more health.
Berserker Camp	Unstoppable Fury	All monsters have Berserk 50% and a Death Protection (berserkers have berserk 100%) as well as leveling up with you. Bjorn has massively increased attack, and 5 Death Protections. The random boss also has Berserks at 50%.
The Slime Pit	Meaty Madness	All monsters are Meat Men variants. Two additional stages of decay give all monsters Weakening Blow and Riposte 10%. Super Meat Man has Riposte 10% natively, and both bosses are affected by decay.
Magma Mines	Blood Brothers	Damaging one of the minibosses gives the other and the main boss health, past their maximum. The other doesn't drop to 1 HP with his partner is killed.
Tower of Gaan-Telet	Unbalanced	Horatio has his Vicious Gaan-Telet stats.

Vicious Steel	Eternal Foes	BlahBlah revives into an identical copy of himself with 99% lifesteal (he will immediately steal from you on revive) and The Indomitable is now a much different boss, with 100 Death Protections, but only 1 HP, and his 50 attack damage doesn't lower as he loses them. The Indomitable is in his own special subdungeon, which BlahBlah blocks access to.
Demonic Library	Curse of Hellfire	All enemies are Unstable. Demon Lords have far more health, but as they die, the others get weaker. The Avatar's boss room is pre-filled with "???" minions, all with unstable. Avatar sits at the back of his room rather than the middle.
Namtar's Lair	Echos of Power	Copies of all of Namtar's previous forms accompany the real one, only the last one killed in a phase gives experience.
Naga City	Gladiator	Instead of 3 rounds of 3 bosses in the final showdown, it's 3 rounds of 9 bosses, including all Hard difficulty dungeon bosses like Rex, Evolvia, and The Indomitable. Kinisssch is a pushover with 1 HP, 1 attack, and no death protections.
Dragon Isles	What Lies Below	The finale subdungeon is expanded, featuring more dragon guards, elites, and lvl10 Dragonspawns. Among them are also helpless young dragonspawn, as well as Secondborn Twin. The Matron is unchanged.
Vicious Gaan-Telet	A Final Challenge	All altars are on the main floor, and the 9 towers all feature 5 new Extreme Edition enemies each. The towers still have their usual items, and all five monsters per tower are the same monster. Horatio has 3 extra intermission phases on top of his usual stats.

Extreme Edition Dungeons

Dungeon	Curious	Summary
Odd Depths	Learner's Permit	Enemy difficulty is 120%, all four random bosses appear as well as the Sign Painter, all four random new enemies appear, and there are even more signs.
Ancient Scrapyard	Legacy Protocol	The Forgotten One gains Retaliate: Fireball. His Soul Sword is replaced with his old mechanic, where damaging him sets his attack to 150 and gives all enemies No XP, but killing a No XP enemy removes 12 attack per enemy level from him until you damage him again.
Hidden Workshop	Cross Purpose Killers	Bosses are changed; Lavavein starts with 100% berserk and low damage, and Goodoosa starts with no deathgaze but 100% riposte. As enemies in the dungeon die, Lavavein gains damage, Goodoosa gains resists and deathgaze, but they also LOSE points of berserk and riposte respectively.
Oasis Town	Real Goat Issue	Initial goat is one level higher. Dal'Zak's random form traits are triple effective, essentially empowering him with 9 boosts rather than 3.
Flooded Foundry	Stoneless	All Corestones are at the entrance, none drop from monsters. Prototype 3 gains damage every time you strike him, but also loses resists. Prototype 1 splits an additional time. Jealous Apprentice spawns 2 golems at a time, and all of them give no experience.
Lekon's Table	Sins of the Father	Lekon's Chosen cycle through special versions based on the 7 deadly sins, in predictable order upon being revived/unshrouded, making them generally much tougher to beat.
Deadman's Pass	Boss-Tier Buddies	All Fallen enemies are now mandatory bosses. There are the same number, but they are all now levels 8-10. Fallen enemies can now be tier 2 or tier 3 classes as well, but they have the same drops as the tier 1 classes.
Permafrost Peak	Spider's Curse	Frostbite per tile revealed happens sooner, and gets worse. Eventually you will start suffering weakening and corrosion when exploring, and shortly after, poison and manaburn. Finally, exploring much further will just kill you.
Frigid Battlefield	Impossible?	Two new bosses join the original two, Future of the East and Future of the South. All 4 must still be killed back to back, and all bosses have lower health than usual.
Troll Laboratory	Power Harvesting	Trollenstein starts with an absolutely massive 6001 HP and no special traits. Killing minibosses will GIVE him his traits, and reduce his max health by 1000 each.
Phantom Citadel	Fading Curse	All monsters turn into Essence Whispers after your level exceeds theirs, no EXP spirits with Protective Blessing, that surround the boss at the end of the dungeon if not dealt with previously.
Endless Blizzard	Endless Journey	The dungeon is almost entirely revamped, requiring the player to go through all 5 possible sub areas with the level limits being broken, final bosses have different traits too.
Goblin Settlement	Lockdown	All items (gold, potions, glyphs, boosters, even altars), including those dropped by enemies, are inside of chests.
Forsaken Temple	Test of Faith	You no longer get to choose your sacrifices, both options are forced upon you for each choice.
Shadow Bog	Encroaching Darkness	The dungeon layout is similar to Permafrost Peak, reducing the room you have to outmaneuver the bog considerably and allowing it to seep in from the outer edge.
Exile's Path	Before Dawn	Forced into the second layer at level 2, Every single level up comes with a malus. The Dark Beneath now regens.
Abandoned Nest	Difficult Experience	Spy'dirr Le'eggs gain death protections as their friends die, leveling requirements go up by 1 EXP every reset. The bosses update to always match you at your strongest, instead of being fixed on spawn.

Tranquil Beach	Coming Soon!	Unreleased
Mire's Heart	Coming Soon!	Unreleased
