An elemental [[sword]] will take care of the undead. An elemental [[handgun]] would be prudent because ranged attacks are very handy for solving certain puzzles here. Defend yourself with shadow resistance. Adjust [[perk]] for movement speed to quickly pass through dark areas. Pay attention to the status stratum of the level and adjust equipment accordingly.

Characteristics

Each level map is composed of randomly generated segments.

Levels are populated by multitudes of Kats. Zombies and Howlitzers are common encounters. Trojans can appear in certain segments. A Carnavon will spawn in this rare scenario room.

Candlestick Keep levels are very dark but Embers can be picked up and thrown to light candles. Blue candles will stay lit forever, and are frequently encountered already lit. Yellow candles will stay lit for about 30 seconds and tend to have a larger pool of light. The large and very dangerous Grimalkin will not venture too close to a lit candle, chomping down just outside of the light.

The background is obscured in darkness.

Similar castle-like structures can be seen in the Firestorm Citadel, Royal Jelly Palace, and Scarlet Fortress. Many Candlestick Keep decorations are very similar to those found in Moorcroft Manor and the Usable-Moorcroft Prize Box icon.png Moorcroft Prize Box.
