If i was in daniel's position a number of things would happen
First, i would equip myself with a whip. And then, once i do that, this music will start playing in the background:

And then, while the epic music is playing, i would go around the castle killing jawless monstrosities, whipping candles, and eating pork chops that i would find convienitly hidden in the walls of the castle.
AND THEN, after all this and when i get to the inner sanctum, Alexander and I will have and epic final battle, where i'll put a cross to his face. xD
Finally, i would make an epic escape from castle Brinnenburg before it crumbles into dust. I would become the best thing ever since chuck norris!
