Guardians of the Graveyard

The Guardians of the Graveyard are a collective boss in all three versions of MediEvil, Resembling mythical hellhounds or wolves, the pair was placed at the entrance to Gallowmere's graveyard to prevent the undead from crossing into the world of the living. They are fought at the end of the fifth level.

Strategy (Original/2019)

Dan faces off against these two opponents either a "boxing ring" created by the gates on either side, or an unusually small circle with a spectral fence, depending on which version of the game is in play. In both cases, the strategy is simple. Most of the time, the guardians will walk around Sir Dan in a ringlike march while they assess the situation, during which time they will be completely invisible and impervious to any weapons. As they catch sight of Dan, however, they will dash toward him as they alternate attacks between themselves and continuously move in and out of phase. They can only be struck while in phase, which occurs in a tight window before they themselves strike. Dan's best weapon for the both of them is the newly acquired hammer. He should charge the weapon for the shockwave attack as he moves about. When they phase in for an attack, release the hammer to chop off a chunk of their 400 HP. If timed correctly, Dan could fell the pair in 10 turns or fewer.
