Beneath Nightmare Castle is the 25th entry in the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks, written by Peter Darvill-Evans.You are an adventurer and a mercenary, on the way to Neuburg, a city in Khul, intending to pay a visit to your old friend, Baron Tholdur, the Margrave of Neuburg Keep. However, as you approach the town, a pack of southern swordsmen attacks you and takes you prisoner. After freeing yourself, you find out that something strange is going on in Neuburg: foreign warriors patrols the streets, the natives look scared and pale and shapeless horrors prowls the city by night. Something terrible happened to Neuburg Keep and Baron Tholdur, an eldritch threat from a half-forgotten past has returned. It's up to you to find a way into the infested keep, investigate the source of this corruption and eradicate it before it extends its tendrils beyond Neuburg, all without losing your life or your mind to the skulking horrors infesting the dungeons.Much like House of Hell, Beneath Nightmare Castle takes an approach closer to a horror story than a fantasy one; namely the grotesque alien madness of the Lovecraftian Horror such found in horror classics like The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness. Along with the usual scores of Skill, Stamina and Luck, you also start with a score of Willpower, which determines your sanity and will, which slowly decreases each time you have to roll a Willpower Test or you see something really disturbing or creepy. If your Willpower drops below 6 and you fail a test, you go insane from the ordeal and your quest is over. | |

Dragon-in-Chief: Since Xakhaz spends the story as a Sealed Evil in a Can, it is Senyakhaz who drives the plot, leading the Southern Warriors, making Baron Tholdur her slave while passing as his adviser, reviving him, and helping him prepare his return. Xakhaz is only faced after she is dealt with. | |

You can find another Swordsman with SKILL 11 later on, though he only has STAMINA 6. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The incomprehensible alien hideousness of the grotesque ancient horrors stalking Neuberg is enough to rip a man's mind into tatters of madness on sight before they do the same to his body.

| Beneath Nightmare Castle / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Trident of Skarlos, if you manage to find both its components (and the spearhead is mandatory to find the handle): it was made to kill undead and sorcerous creatures, which means it gives you more Skill, deals extra damage to those foes and restores some of your Willpower and Luck upon finding it. It also really enjoys ripping Xakhaz's undead body apart, doing lots of extra damage to the Final Boss. | |

| Beneath Nightmare Castle / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: The Baron's daughter, pictured above, is very lucid and aware of her situation, but she cannot do anything for her predicament as the cursed armor she wears forces her to attack anyone who comes near. | |

Evil Weapon | |
| Beneath Nightmare Castle / int_abbe5875 | comment |
Evil Weapon: The Runic Axe forces you to fight all your opponents to the death. The sword of Vlax the Slayer still hosts the soul of the bloodthirsty owner in the hilt and will possess you if you wield it. | |

| Beneath Nightmare Castle / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: You can destroy the portal that Xakhaz's main minion uses to report to him, but it's acknowledged in the ending that this has delayed, but not stopped, his plans. | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot | |
| Beneath Nightmare Castle / int_afc52a86 | comment |
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Xakhaz is an evil sorcerous mad-scientist revenant cultist with a body made of spare bodyparts and tentacles. Plays against him, as he's both undead and a sorcerous creation, which means that the Trident of Skarlos will butcher him like there's no tomorrow. | |

Town with a Dark Secret: Neuburg under Xakhaz's threat, with terrified people, murderous street urchins, hostile guards and monstrous abominations shambling in the night, looking for blood. | |

Light 'em Up: The Talisman of Loth, which you're encouraged to find and can be obtained halfway through, allows you to dazzle certain enemies with its light, reducing their Skill by 2. | |

Dem Bones: You fight a skeleton rising out of a coffin. Its notable that this skeleton has a ridiculously low SKILL of 4, but a surprisingly high STAMINA of 10, unusual stats compared to skeleton enemies from other entries. | |

Poison Mushroom: One of the potions you can drink is a diet concoction for the Baron, which will render you unable to consume food and rations for the rest of the adventure (so, no more healing). | |

Red Herring | |

Red Herring: A Downplayed example, despite the insistence of Oidan's clerics, the Talisman of Loth only gives you a minor combat bonus against Xakhaz, while the unmentioned Trident of Skarlos is far more useful. | |

Blob Monster: Several of the disgusting creations of Xakhaz include the deadly Brain Defiler, the grotesque Death-Kiss Protoplasm and the obese Vlodblad. The Luminous Warrior is really a giant slug-thing compressed in a suit of armor. | |

Tunnel King: Subverted; digging through the dirt under the pavement of your cell does lead you somewhere else... namely, into a deeper, locked out part of the keep, forcing you to return to your cell. On the bright side, it is the same area that contains the handle of the Trident of Skarlos, which is incredibly useful for your quest. | |
