Games bring together all kinds of elements.

Sometimes, that includes touches of horror that fall outside a game's usual genre.

Here, we will explore the “Haunted Library,” a glimpse of horror in the otherwise charming world of Mabinogi.

In Mabinogi, the town of Dunbarton has a school where an NPC named Stewart works as a teacher.

Building your friendship with Stewart unlocks his Secret Shop.

You can buy a “Scary Library Pass” from the Secret Shop.

Perhaps as a nod to the horror theme, it costs 4444 gold.

To visit, enter the library with the pass between 12 a.m. and 1 a.m. in-game time.

Inside, you will encounter the eerie monsters shown above.

These monsters have high stats, so proceed with caution.

Entering the Haunted Library grants you the “Who Saw a Library Ghost” title shown above.

The title's bonuses are not particularly useful, but I think it is well worth collecting.
