Wir haben das ganze Wochenende damit verbracht, den neuen Dungeon im Spiel zu erkunden.
We spent the whole weekend exploring the new dungeon in the game.
'Dungeon' (dungeon) is a word from English that was borrowed directly into German. It is used especially in the language of video games and fantasy literature.
Dieses Spiel hat viele herausfordernde Dungeons.
This game has many challenging dungeons.
In modern German, 'Dungeon' (dungeon) is used almost exclusively for mazes in games. The original meaning 'Kerker' (prison/dungeon) is rare and is usually made clear by the context of a castle or a historical story.
Der Endgegner wartet im letzten Raum des Dungeons.
The final boss is waiting in the last room of the dungeon.
In a gaming context, 'Dungeon' (dungeon) is often combined with verbs like 'erkunden' (to explore), 'durchsuchen' (to search), 'abschließen' (to complete), or 'säubern' (to clear, in the sense of defeating all the monsters).
Wir haben den ganzen Dungeon erkundet, aber den geheimen Schatz nicht gefunden.
We explored the whole dungeon but didn't find the secret treasure.
instance / authority
'Instanz' and 'Dungeon' can both appear in digital or game-related contexts, but they do not mean the same thing. An 'Instanz' is technically a single concrete copy of an object or system. A 'Dungeon', on the other hand, is a game area, often an underground vault with enemies, traps, or treasure. The words can be confusing because technical terms are also used in conversations about computer games. When it is about the game world and the place where the action happens, 'Dungeon' fits. When it is about the technical individual execution or a single copy, 'Instanz' fits.
