The Silver Wood, also known as the Jabberwocky Chase or the Dragon Chase, is a level that was cut from MediEvil.[1] The level revolved around Sir Dan being chased by the Jabberwocky.
The level is present in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, but it is only accessible via hacking. Although the level is devoid of enemies in this early game version, its WAD and VLO files suggest that in addition to the Jabberwocky, spiders were going to appear in the level.
Bits of the level can also be seen in the promotional trailer for the game.[2]
Level structure
Much like the similar Mud Slide level, The Silver Wood is not linear; there are several divergent paths Dan can take through the woods to find various unique sights, such as a swampy area with a waterfall, a path lined with spikes leading to a pair of Buddha statues, and a cobweb spider tunnel. However, all the paths eventually converge, leading to the same exit.
In the final game
|
The level was entirely replaced by a new version of the 9AV full motion video, which was originally played at the start of the level showing the beginning of the chase only. The new version of 9AV included new footage of Dan landing in the Circle of Shadows area and combined the rest of 9AV with 10AV. The level location itself, the Silver Woods, are only mentioned once in the released game, in a book found in the Sleeping Village.
