Dark Castle has 4 entrances that largely converge into 1 exit. The entrances are covered by trees that make all Bloons immune while under them, and the trees can be removed for $1,000 each. There are relatively large amounts of open space for an Expert map above and below the convergent part of the map, in addition to water above and below the end of the track. Bloons start shrinking when they reach the castle door at the track's very end. The castle at the right is mostly blocked by line-of-sight, except for the ledge, which is at a higher elevation than the rest of the castle. The ledge can fit towers up to the size of [[Boomerang Monkey (BTD6)|Boomerang Monkeys]].

The castle door at the end of the track opens at the start of every round and closes when the round ends, and Bloons start shrinking when they reach the door. The castle at the right is mostly blocked by line-of-sight, except for the ledge, which is at a higher elevation than the rest of the castle.

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Dark Castle is a very short map, with [[Red Bloon (BTD6)|Red Bloons]] exiting in 10 seconds or less on all paths in [[Hard]] difficulty. However, the converging end of the track, the large amount of open space, and lack of line-of-sight blockers throughout most of the map allow for a wide variety of strategies. The short track and convergent lanes make [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factories]] on the castle at the right particularly useful. Dark Castle is by consensus the second-easiest Expert map, only after [[Infernal]].
