Simple. Here are my tips:
A) Only go to the castle in the daytime.
B) Travel slowly and be on the lookout for the plants (Amazoni mantraps)
C) The second you think you see something that even REMOTELY resembles one, stop moving. Move the cursor around and see if the suspicious object turns out to be a target. If it does, and it says "Amazoni Mantrap", you've found one. DON'T TOUCH YOUR MOVEMENT CONTROLS.
D) See if you can tell whether or not it's moving. If it's moving, chances are it will be in your direction so you should run like hell and come back later. If it's not moving, or moving away from you, then ready all your spells and long distance attacks, and blast it to pieces. As long as you have enough distance from the mantrap, it will never see you, it will never respond, just sit there and take the damage.
E) Explore the whole castle area like this to take out all of them you can find. They WON'T regenerate or re-appear in the future. But there are about 4 of them I think. At least they never have re-appeared for me. But don't be relieved just yet - these are the first monsters of this kind in the game, but not the last. I should point out that these are the 2nd most powerful, but you will still face other similar creatures in the near future. The MOST powerful, that I've run into up to Brimloch Roon - are the bastards in the Boogre caves. But you will still run into weaker cousins of these types of monsters in Dragon's Spire and the area near the Boogre caves. Plus probably elsewheres in the game I don't know about yet. DW Bradley seems to love these damn things.
