   Guys, I need help finding ideas for the MacGuffin (end-goal) item for my dungeon crawler game. What should it be? Please make it somewhat original. Not something cliche like a chalice.

     @Alex I already have the macguffin programmed in, but the sprite is currently using a copyrighted placeholder. The game ends when you collect it, so making it a weapon would require me to change the code.

     Weapons make good macguffins, especially if you can actually use them for the final boss fight.

     Ancient history, some scrolls with forbiden or forgotten knowledge.
     A personal belonging to one of the characters (such as a wedding band or sentimental toy)
     An egg of an unknown species
     Going Meta: the save file for the game

     @gabriel Scrolls are pretty cliche.

     >A personal belonging to one of the characters (such as a wedding band or sentimental toy)

     Could work. Maybe the dungeon could be a large tomb of some deceased friend.

     >An egg of an unknown species

     Could also work, but I don't know why an egg would be inside a dungeon.

     >Going Meta: the save file for the game

     Not a metafiction fan.

     @xianc78 depends on if you're going to the serious or comedy route. I'm eating a sandwich right now so I thought it would be funny if it was a sandwich and the MC just wanted his sandwich back that the BBEG stole lol.

     @Mr_NutterButter I guess I will go with that.
