| Vault of the Vampire | comment |
Vault of the Vampire is the 38th entry in the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks, written by Keith Martin.You are a bold and daring adventurer travelling across the Old World of Titan: in the haunted lands of Mauristania you reach the village of Leverhelven, whose inhabitants are plagued by the presence of a terrible and ancient evil in the shape of Count Reiner Heydrich, a vampire lord. After hearing that he recently kidnapped a young girl from the village and took her to his castle, you decide to help the villagers and rid the world of this monster, facing the dark perils of the Vampire's castle.The book is a standard, well-written horror adventure: in addition to your usual Skill, Stamina, and Luck scores, you also have a fourth score, Faith, which can be used to repel certain opponents and acts like a sort of Karma Meter. Of course, you can also get certain Afflictions which may give you maluses or outright cost you your life during your quest. Furthermore, since most of the quest takes part inside the castle, you have a slightly bigger chance of exploration and can sometimes revisit certain locations. Martin would later write a direct sequel to this story, albeit with a different hero, titled Revenge of the Vampire. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss: When Reiner's health drops below a certain point, he will turn into a bat and try to run away to catch his breath and heal himself. You can prevent him from doing this with the Forcewall spell. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_60fa92ac | comment |
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: A subtle yet horrifying one. Reiner Heydrich is named after Reinhard Heydrich, one of the highest, most fanatical dignitaries of the third Reich. Wilhelm and Katharina Heydrich, who share the Count's surname. By the time you meet them, you already know that the Count is bad news, and have some idea of what to expect from the rest of the family. Played with with Wilhelm though, as he is only dangerous in an Ax-Crazy mood, but is most often a nice and friendly Cloud Cuckoolander. Totally averted with Gunthar, a benevolent and helpful man with very powerful Healing hands magic. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The story explicitly states that it's not possible to kill Count Heydrich without a Magic Sword, even making it an instant loss if you don't have one when starting combat with him. However, if you use the right items and roll the best possible scores, the Count can be killed without needing a magic sword at all — he has a fixed amount of Stamina and you can reduce it well below zero by using items before the actual fight starts. Then, you only need a stake to finish him off in his coffin. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: Siegfrid's sword "Nightstar" gives you a bigger bonus than any other Magic Sword, and can wound and kill Reiner. It is sealed inside the Book of Swords and only Siegfrid's ghost can release it. | |

Cool Sword | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_a6275bef | comment |
Cool Sword: Nightstar, if you manage to find it. It gives an attack strength bonus in all combats, it is magical and allows you to fight enemies immune to normal weapons, and against Reiner it gives a double attack strength bonus. It can also be used to stake him once you've put him down, assuming you've destroyed enough of his coffins. | |

No-Sell | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_abd29ad8 | comment |
No-Sell: If you try to attack the Headless Coachman, your sword will phase harmlessly through him, which makes you lose a Faith point. Many of the castle's monsters are only vulnerable to a Magic Sword, and trying to attack them with a mundane weapon will result in this. In the final battle, Katarina laughs off your Jandor's Bolt and your Holy Water since she's not an undead. | |

Early-Bird Boss: You can pick a fight with Katarina as soon as you meet her early on, either through deliberately attacking or mentioning that you want to save the girl. You need to have a magic sword, and after hitting her in combat four times, she vanishes after a last ditch effort of Charm Person (implying you were Fighting a Shadow). | |

Wooden Stake: Of course, you can use one to finish Reiner off, but the one you need has a silver-plated point. For some reason it's changed into a Silver Dagger in the Italian translation of the book. You can also use Nightstar this way if you lack the Stake. | |

Classical Movie Vampire | |
| Vault of the Vampire / int_d3d2d6 | comment |
Classical Movie Vampire : Count Reiner Heydrich is clearly an hmmage to Hammer movies and the like, complete with Villainous Widow's Peak, fancy clothes, and black cape with High Collar of Doom. He has most of the powers and weaknesses associated with Vampires, including Hypnotic Eyes, domain over wolves and beasts, Super Strength, Voluntary Shapeshifting into a wolf, a bat or Super Smoke mist. When it comes to weaknesses, he is highly vulnerable to Holy Water, he has a Missing Reflection, he Cannot Cross Running Water, he cannot stand garlic, and he must be staked to be fully destroyed... Long story short, he fulfills pretty much the entire list of Vampire Tropes. | |
