Badges are one dimension of dungeon completion. To earn a badge in a dungeon, you need to defeat the dungeon while meeting the corresponding challenge.

The first time you earn a particular badge in any dungeon, you will receive a small gold bonus. You cannot earn badges unless it's possible for you to fail the challenge; for example, if you haven't unlocked any gods yet, you won't get credit for [[File:Faithless {{{2}}} Icon.png|link=|Building: Faithless {{{2}}}]] [[Faithless#{{{2}}} - {{{3}}}|{{{3}}}]], and if you haven't unlocked the Bazaar, you can't get [[File:Miser {{{2}}} Icon.png|link=|Building: Miser {{{2}}}]] [[Miser#{{{2}}} - {{{3}}}|{{{3}}}]].

Badge Requirement
Cheeky Badge.png Cheeky The first monster killed was a higher level than you.
Faithless Badge.png Faithless Didn't worship any gods.
DING! Max! Badge.png DING! Max! Reached level 10.
Hoarder Badge.png Hoarder Didn't convert any items.
Miser Badge.png Miser Didn't buy anything.
Feeling Parched Badge.png Feeling Parched Didn't consume any health or mana potions.
Purist Badge.png Purist Played the dungeon without any extra Kingdom preparations. (Preparing the Vicious Token is ok)
Specialist Badge.png Specialist Killed the last boss using either magical or physical damage, but not both.
Unstoppable Badge.png Unstoppable Killed all dungeon monsters level 8 or higher without petrifying them. (Petrifying low-level monsters is ok)
Warmonger Badge.png Warmonger Didn't use any glyph skills.
Vicious Badge.png Vicious Took the Vicious Token into the dungeon .... and won.

Strategy Considerations

If you're going for 100% completion in a dungeon, there is no reason to put any effort into getting [[File:Faithless {{{2}}} Icon.png|link=|Building: Faithless {{{2}}}]] [[Faithless#{{{2}}} - {{{3}}}|{{{3}}}]]. Winning with a Race: Vampire Vampire]] will always earn Faithless, as vampires cannot worship gods.

Several dungeons feature bosses with high physical resistance (Northern Desert, Rock Garden, The Slime Pit) or even physical immunity (Magma Mines), which can make earning [[File:Warmonger {{{2}}} Icon.png|link=|Building: Warmonger {{{2}}}]] [[Warmonger#{{{2}}} - {{{3}}}|{{{3}}}]] a challenge. One approach is to prepare the God: Glowing Guardian Glowing Guardian and use his Trait: Consecrated Strike Consecrated Strike to convert your attacks into magic damage. It can also be effective to play a DragonHero.png Half-Dragon to take advantage of their natural Trait: Magical Attack (Player) Magical Attack (Player)
