This Halloween map features pumpkin bombs, Halloween pumpkins, magic spells, and the Ghosts; see Community Halloween maps strategy.
- General Community Payload strategy applies, but with the added complication of scheduled monster spawns.
- As disruptive as they can be, the infrequent monster spawns are generally a neutral factor.
- Attack only those Skeletons that chase your team; waste no fire on any other monster.
- There are only Rare Magic Spells are available only through the Island and Graveyard Underworlds; know where they are and when they unlock.
- The Underworld Island rare spell respawns in just 10 seconds, easily more than 10 times during a Witching Hour.
- There are 5 rare spells in the Graveyard when MONOCULUS dies. If looks like other team is about to defeat MONOCULUS, attack those enemies close to the portal that is about to open and get the spells yourself.
Class-specific strategy
Scout
Soldier
Pyro
- Your relative stamina and speed gives you a little time to linger in the Underworld Island and Air Blast enemy into the Deadly Waters, if you get there first.
- Having the Overheal Spell definitely gives you more time to ambush here.
- Be sure to cut and run with a rare spell before you die and give up the buff and the Respawn delay.
Demoman
Heavy
- Your Health and Lunchbox Items give you extended persistence in the Underworld Island.
- Your Second Banana recharges and heals you faster than the Underworld Health Drain.
- You can use this time to farm for the best rare spells or you can just keep picking them up to deny them from the enemy.
- You can shoot the enemy, denying them both the Rare Spell and a Respawn time, saving the rare spell respawns for yourself or your teammates.
- About 90 seconds after the portals open, the Underworld Island kills everyone there, so don't stay there that long -- get out before it kills you and you lose the buff and Respawn time.
