—
Elisabeth's Halloween Comeback is rudely interrupted when a pyramid is dropped on her castle, an Egyptian queen deposes her, and bans Halloween itself. Now with a new Saber form, Elisabeth receives (unwilling) help from the protagonist to get her spotlight back.

Tropes:
- Affectionate Parody: The event is a homage to old-school RPGs, with a linear map showing different biomes, and the party trying to fit the fighter/mage/healer archetypes.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The yandere trio of Kiyohime, Raikou, and Serenity, who want the protagonist to themselves. Kiyohime wants to love/burn them to death, Raikou wants to love/smother them to death, while Serenity... just wants to be petted. Mash objects to that last one the strongest.
- Debut Queue: Vlad III from Fate/EXTRA and Cleopatra appear in the gacha, while Saber Elisabeth is distributed as the event's free Servant.
- Dumbass Has a Point: The party's reaction to Liz's rant about the sheer impracticality of having random lava on the only path to the castle.
- Dynamic Entry: Cleopatra invaded Castle Csejte by having Ozymandias drop an upside-down pyramid on it.
- Fake Longevity: Played for Laughs as a send-up to Ghosts 'n Goblins. After fighting their way to Cleopatra's pyramid and defeating Lancer Vlad III, the entire party gets blasted all the way back to the start of the map at the graveyard by Siegfried and forced to go through the challenges again.
- Forbidden Holiday: Halloween was banned when Cleopatra took over Castle Csejte, which is one of the reasons why the protagonist decides to help Elisabeth.
- Fusion Dance: Lancer Liz and Caster Liz unexpectedly merge together while arguing to form Saber Liz.
- Interface Spoiler: The news page for the event tries to keep it a secret of who will join Elisabeth's team in the story. However, since those Servants get a damage bonus during the event, who the party members are become immediately obvious if you filter out anyone who doesn't get event bonus.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: All of Chaldea's staff team up to stuff the protagonist and Mash into the Rayshift pods when they realize that Elisabeth is involved in the current crisis. When they find Liz, it seems everyone she tried to recruit to help her had the same reaction.
- Sir Verb-a-Lot: Cleopatra refers to the original Lancelot as "Sir Lances-A-Lot-Of-Married-Women."
- Unishment: Cleopatra punishes a bemused knight with paid leave.
- Unusual Euphemism: Mata Hari's Tavern Craft Essence refers to her "pair of tropical fruits."
- Worf Had the Flu: Sphinxes are powerful divine beasts, yet the ones Nitocris rented from Ozymandias are fairly underwhelming. Nitocris realizes that the cold, damp caves of Europe don't agree with them, and concludes that she should've installed some heaters.
- You All Meet in an Inn: The local tavern, owned by Mata Hari, is one where adventurers gather to go on quests together, like taking on Pyramid Csejte. This is where the protagonist and Mash find Elisabeth.
