Meet the Monsters of Dark Universe

As you stroll through the crumbling streets of Darkmoor Village, you’ll encounter iconic characters such as Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, Ygor, and the Invisible Man.

Enjoy a Monstrously Good Meal

Dark Universe will also tantalize your taste buds with its unique dining experiences. Das Stakehaus, a vampire-themed restaurant, offers a meal surrounded by vampire artwork and artifacts. Run by vampires’ “familiars,” this old inn and dining hall built over ancient catacombs might just put you on the menu if you venture too far.

For a heartier fare, head to The Burning Blade Tavern, an old mill transformed into a hangout for monster hunters. Here, you can enjoy burgers, wings, bratwursts, pretzels, and specialty beverages while discovering stories of the countryside’s most accomplished creature capturers. Don’t miss the windmill at the top of the tavern, which erupts into flames several times an hour, creating a fiery spectacle visible both day and night.
