The Book of Gallowmere is an item available to Dan in the MediEvil remake.
Description and usage
The book contains information about the denizens of Gallowmere; the friendlies, enemies, and bosses Dan has encountered. An entry is obtained after first interacting with a denizen. This ranges from talking to defeating them in battle.
Entries
Friendlies
Sir Daniel Fortesque
Our bone-headed protagonist, born again into this Age of Wonders! In life he was just the worst: a coward, a cheat, a philatelist (or was it a philanderer... I don't recall). But either way, he seems to have woken up... different?
Perhaps he can redeem himself? Zarok should be more careful where he aims his dark magic.
Morten the Earthworm
Morten was so happy when Dan died. Surely, he initially had a lot of housework to do, but now he's got the place to himself, and just how he likes it.
Of course, Dan coming back to life was a bit of a shock, but Morten will do anything he can to keep his home-buddy safe (and get him back to the earthy darkness as quickly as possible).
Information Gargoyles
Can you imagine how boring it would be to be a sentient being - wise even - and be stuck permanently to a brick wall? No wonder these guys are grumpy.
They pass time by eavesdropping, gossiping, and bad-mouthing any bizarre looking adventurers that might pass by.
The Heroes
The mightiest heroes of Gallowmere are awarded a place in the Hall of Heroes. It's an exclusive club, with access paid for by only the greatest of deeds.
Who runs the place? We don't know. How do the heroes pass the time for all eternity? We don't know. But trust me, these heroes are the best of the best, and they deserve every moment of whatever it is they do up there.
Merchant Gargoyles
Even in medieval times, there were vending machines designed to part a foolish hero from his gold.
Clever customers may qualify for a discount... just don't ask the merchant how he acquires his wares.
Mr. Organ
Kul Katura
Pumpkin Witch
Jack of the Green
<poem> There once was a statue named Jack, For riddles, he did have a knack, Dan entered the garden Which Jack was a guardin', A smart hero would have turned back. </poem>
The Town Mayor
Forest Witch
Fairies
Elephant Dragons
Chickens
Captive Farmers
King Peregrin
Vulture
Enemies
Zombies
These guys were fashionably undead before it was fashionable to be undead. Your brain may have long since rotted, but that won't stop them from eating it.
Just a few chops should do them in. Be careful not to miss! That would be embarrassing.
Severed Hands
Dan's number one fans. They can't afford to lend a hand, but they'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Or at least, to the end of the graveyard.
Boulder Gargoyles
These guardian gargoyles aren't much for conversation. And don't ask to hear their singing voice - unless you're into rock and roll. Badum-tsh!
Headless Zombies
Have you ever had one of those days where you leave the house full of breezy purpose, only to realize that you've left something really important at home? Well, that's how these guys feel all the time.
Imps
Graveyard Wolves
Scarecrows
Mad Farmers
Mecha Imps
Corn Killers
Bats
They're vampire bats. Actually, they're just bats. But they bite. That's sort of vampirey.
Pumpkin Plants
Pumpkin Bombs
Rats
These rats seem harmless, but they have tiny fingers an they're probably plotting something terrible.
Each rat you squish is an act of treason against the mighty rat king Derok.
Townspeople
Boiler Guards
Mad Monks
Hedges
Head Bangers
Dragon Toads
Poisonous Plants
Shadow Demons
Ants
Fascinating creatures, ants. Did you know they're as old as the dinosaurs? That they "talk" using chemicals? Or that they share a hive mind?
And, contrary to popular belief, they actually have no interest whatsoever in your pants.
Armored Knights
The heaviest of infantry and most ill-suited for the Battle of Gallowmere. Many of them fell victim to the deep mud, rather than swords or spears.
These undead knights are most effective when rolled down hills or launched from catapults.
Tentacles
Mud Knights
Ghouls
Fish Monsters
Watchers
Guardians of Mellowmede
Rhinotaurs
The Condemned
Mummies
Serpent of Gallowmere
This mean-spirited snake was always viewed as the lesser serpent sibling. It was always Kul Katura this, and Kul Katura that!
Well, if no one wants to worship him, let there be no worshippers at all!
Mace Knights
Stone Golems
Jabberwocky
Many years ago, the foolish sorcerer Mazok the Muddled came into possession of a Dragon Egg. At this same time, Gallowmere was suffering under a terrible famine, and Mazok had been ordered by his king to seek out a magical solution. "If only the kingdom's scrawny chickens could lay eggs the size of a dragon egg," thought Mazok, and he set about applying his questionable skills to transform the egg.
Several days later, the kingdom had been saved! The hatched chicken-dragon - or Jabberwocky as it came to be known - possessed the ferocity of a dragon and the dim wit of a chicken. It rampaged through the kingdom on a murderous spree and killed so many that even the meager harvest was enough to sustain the survivors (as they mourned their loved ones).
The Jabberwocky was finally chased from the land by the hero Dirk Steadfast, who poked it with his magic sword.
Pirate Crew
Pirate Officers
Flying Clocks
Time really does fly! These clockwork pests will shave minutes off your life with each sweep of their hands.
Staring into their faces will tell you the time of your death. Nothing you don't know already.
Flying Eyeballs
Exactly what is a flying eyeball without a flying brain? And without a flying mouth, how can it possibly report what it has seen?
I suppose that must be why they simply try to incinerate you instead.
Fazguls
Bosses
Zarok
It is said that Zarok's preoccupation with necromancy stems from an obsession to resurrect his childhood puppy.
Let's just reflect for a moment: isn't that just tragic? All this poor, troubled soul has ever wanted is to command the forces of darkness, enslave mankind, and play ball one last time with dear old Mr Snuffy.
Stained Glass Demon
I always thought it was a bad idea when they put a demon on their stained glass window. "Isn't that a little odd for a holy place?" I said. "What if a passing sorcerer brings it to life using arcane magic?" But did they listen?
Yes, he might have a glass jaw, but if you think shattering his dark heart is going to be easy, you'd better think again!
Guardians of the Graveyard
Humanity's last line of defense against the restless undead. They prevent boney beings from escaping to the land of the living.
Man's best friend, but not Dan's best friend.
Pumpkin King
Dragon Bird
Demonettes
Queen Ant
Mean Old Dragon
Ghost Ship Captain
Lord Kardok
Zarok Beast
Development
In a PlayStation Underground video comparing the original Asylum Grounds level and the remade one, Nick Accordino revealed that the book's entries were written with input from Chris Sorrell, the original game's director and producer.[1]
