PLEASE NOTE: The subject of this article originates from MediEvil: Resurrection, which is considered apocryphal, i.e. to be outside of the accepted canon. See GP:CANON for more information.

"Rumour has it that a fabled sword is held by the imps of Gallowmere Plains and can be obtained by anyone skilled enough to complete all of the mini games."

― Excerpt from the MediEvil: Resurrection manual.

Woden's Brand was a weapon that Sir Dan bought off a Merchant Gargoyle in Gallowmere Plains for all 8 Carnival Tokens obtainable there. It was the strongest weapon in Gallowmere, having the capability of killing most foes in one swing. It was a two-handed weapon and shields could not be used with it.

Gameplay

Overview

Despite its name, Woden's Brand is not given to Sir Dan by Woden the Mighty. Instead, the weapon is obtained by finishing all the mini games in Gallowmere Plains and buying it from the local Merchant Gargoyle with the awarded Carnival Tokens. This makes it one of seven weapons that aren't collected from the Hall of Heroes, the others being the Arm, Wooden Sword, Short Sword, Club, Throwing Daggers, and Chicken Drumsticks. Woden's Brand also doesn't have its own book in Dan's Crypt's training room. This is because it is functionally the same as the Magic Sword.
