Matt Blum conjectured that the number of tilings of a hexagonal dungeon with side-lengths $a,2a,b,a,2a,b$ (for $b\geq2a$) equals $13^{2a^2}14^{\lfloor a^2/2\rfloor}$. Ciucu and the author of the present paper proved the conjecture by using Kuo's graphical condensation method. In this paper, we investigate a 3-parameter refinement of the conjecture and its application to enumeration of tilings of several new types of the hexagonal dungeons.
