"Retro" Dungeon Maps

Below are maps for the three (3) easter egg dungeons that can be found in Wizardry 8. They are often referred to as "Retro Dungeons" because they appear in the classic grid format as used in the original Wizardry (Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord) and subsequent games. One thing often asked is, why are they called "easter eggs"? This is due to the fact they are not a part of the game, no dialog anywhere will inform the player of their existence, the only clue was the presence of three sets of six runes (or icons) which were to be found, plus a nearby object requiring a specific item.

It's not sure who discovered them first, some believe an ex-SirTech employee dropped a hint on one of the various Wizardry 8 forums, others say they were told about it by a friend who discovered it by trial and error. However the dungeons were found, they play no part in the actual storyline of the game, they are there simply to be found and explored... plus the extra experience points doesn't go amiss either!  

These maps were drawn by Moni - Ironworks, all credit goes to her for making them. Recently, some corrections were made to fix some errors, the maps below are the latest versions.

** Spoiler Warning **
Clicking on any of the maps will take you to a page with instructions on how to activate access to the dungeon.
So don't click if you'd rather work it out for yourself first.
