Hailing from the lost land of [[Gallowmere]], Sir Daniel Fortesque killed in a battle against [[Zarok]], an insane wizard, way back in the 13th Century. Some time after Dan's death, Zarok discovered a book of Black Magic and used an ancient spell to make the dead rise from their graves to form a legion of [[zombies|zombie warriors]]. A side effect of this was that Dan also returned from his "eternal rest". Quickly realising that something was wrong, Dan embarked on a quest to destroy Zarok once and for all. Having put everything right again, Dan returned to his [[Dan's Crypt|crypt]] and died. 500 years later, however, the book falls into the hands of another megalomaniac and Dan finds himself once more in the land of the living.<br>

Though this ability isn't available from the start, Dan eventually learns that he can remove his hollow skull and put it to good use. You might have seen some spare hands scampering about the place. Guide Dan towards a hand and wait until a glowing aura appears around it. Now hold down the L1 button and press the [[File:PSB-T.png]] button. Dan will place his head on the hand and voila! You now have a rather nifty Dan-Hand that you can use to explore every nook and cranny for hidden treasure and important items. You can also use Dan's headless body and the Dan-Hand independently of each other. While Dan-hand is off exploring, Dan's body can continue fighting off enemies and performing more strenous tasks. Cool, huh? Once you have the ability, if you have seen a hand earlier in the game you may want to go back and see if you can use Dan-hand ability on them to access secret areas.

As Sir Dan starts his quest the only weapon available to him is his own arm, which he can rip off to defend himself. Elsewhere in the museum are a sword and a pistol, which will come in handy when attacking enemies from afar. As Sir Dan progresses through the game, the Professor will build for him new weapons that, in certain situations, can be used to better effect than his sword. Once you have two or more weapons, you can store them close to hand and toggle between them during battle (this is especially useful when facing enemies whose weaknesses are only temporarily open to attack).

Select two weapons from your inventory, then hold down the L1 button and tap the [[File:PSB-S.png]] button. You can do this at any time, even when running away from the enemy... not that a brave warrior ever runs away, you understand.

Run directly from Dan's tomb into the room opposite the hallway. Stand in front of the central glass cabinet and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button; Dan will remove his own arm. Press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button again and Dan will hit the cabinet with his arm, smashing the glass. Move forward and collect the sword. Return back into the corridor and turn left, and follow the corridor into the large room with central 'ancient tomb'. Using the sword, chop up the resident zombies, then go inside the central tomb and collect the [[Museum Key]].

Exit the large room through the rear left archway, and run forward into the next room. Be careful - this room is guarded by huge [[Green Knights]] which smash out of their display cases. Dispose of these characters using your trusty sword. (Hint: attack them from behind to avoid their overhead sword chop!). Collect the health vial from in front of the decorated tomb, then run up the stairs and hit the glass display case containing the pistol. Jump on top of the plinth to collect the pistol, then go to the spectral trail on top of the landing and summon Winston. He'll explain how to use the two weapon selections.

Exit the area through the archway next to the Help Ghost, and run along the landing to the left. Smash the chest and collect the shield pick-up. Summon Winston again (his trial is next to the chest), and he explains how to use the shield, and how to do a '[[Daring Dash]]'.

Return back along the landing the way you came, and continue right around, jumping over any gaps. Along the way you can collect a health vial, and three moneybags. Proceed to the closed door, and pass in front of the keyhole. The key you have collected will automatically open the door for you to enter! Run across the ladning and summon Winston to learn how to climb up and down ladders and climbable walls. Use the nearby climbable surface and climb up, to the right, and then down the wall into the room below.

Run into the middle of the room where you'll encounter the terrifying [[Tyrannosaurus Wrecks]] and three vicious [[Bonasaurs]], which you must then destroy. Avoid getting too close. Shoot them with your pistol by aiming towards them until yout green targeting trail hovers over each one. When they are destroyed, the Tyrannosaurus Wrecks will return, causing a statue to topple over - creating a ramp in the process! Run up the ramp to the top, collect the money bag and then stand in the health fountain to top up Dan's strength.

Go through the central door on the landing, and Dan will be faced with two '[[Musket Knight]]s' that he must destroy. Shoot them with your pistol and duck behind the central display case as cover against their shot, or defend with the shield pressing the [[File:PSB-T.png]] button to deflect their shot. Exit the area through the door opposite the entrance, and run along the landing and summon Winston. He will explain about the Spivs that cane be used for services and provisions. Move Dan in front of the Spiv and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button, and the Spiv will open his coat offering provisions. Take this opportunity to top up the pistol with bullets.

Run down the stairs to the landing, where you'll come across some more Bonasaurs. Destroy these as before, and continue into the room at the bottom of the stairs with the central hallway cannon display. To either side of this room are two exits: to the left is the garden; to the right is another gallery in the museum. In the garden, Dan is confronted with some zombies guarding a chest. Smash the chest to collect a [[Cannon Ball]], then return to the central hallway (in this area you'll also find a health fountain and the Chalice of Souls. If you've killed enough enemies you can collect the chalice or else return here later to pick it up).

In the next room opposite the garden, there are two Green Knights in display cases, and a Musket Knight patrolling the area. Destroy these as before, and collect the [[Torch]] from in front of the display cases towards the rear of the room.

Return to the central hallway, go over to the cannon, and stand behind and facing it. Press the SELECT button to access the Inventory, highlight the cannonball and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to load the cannonball in to the cannon. Walk over to the burning torch hanging from the wall, then select the torch from Dan's Inventory and use the flames from the wall-torch to light it. Return to the cannon and use the torch to ignite it.
