'''The Hilltop Mausoleum''' is the fourth level in ''[[MediEvil (1998)|MediEvil]]'' and its remake, also serving as an inspiration for the level of the same name in ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]''. A grand cathedral at the summit of [[Cemetery Hill]], it is the fourth level in the Necropolis. It is also one of the few areas to remain consistent across all three releases. The player is introduced to [[imp]]s, diminutive creatures with a humanoid appearance, porcine voices, and sticky fingers.

==General walkthrough==
==Walkthrough==
Prepare to enter a house of pain. So sayeth the book at the entrance. Read it. If Dan has any [[Club]] left, he can smack the casket lids for some [[gold coins]] and other goodies. Kill any imps that pop up, but beware: an imp sans torch is surely a thief and needs to drop dead fast. If another club or shield is needed, they are in front of the pews.

Head north once more to hand off the Chaos Rune. Make a right to find a torch on a block and push the block beneath the glass heart, grabbing the [[Throwing Daggers]] and the [[Copper Shield]] en route; then watch as the soul shards of the [[Stained Glass Demon]] gather in the pulpit. When ready, follow them and confront the Demon, who will fly in from a window and attack. Defeat it for the [[Skull Key]]. Once Dan takes it, he will exit the area.

This time, talk to Stanyer Iron Hewer who is in the upper right. He will give you the [[Hammer]]. You can power up the hammer with the {{Button|S}} button. The Hammer can smash through things, like a Club, but it doesn't fall apart like one.
