Life Bottle

Life Bottle HUD from the 2019 MediEvil remake.

Behind the scenes

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

In early pre-release versions of MediEvil, such as the MediEvil Rolling Demo, Life Bottles did not yet exist. Instead, Dan's life was represented by Lives.

Version specific differences

MediEvil (1999 Japanese original)

The empty Life Bottle.

In the Japanese version of the original game, the Life Bottle found on the dirt mound near the Star Rune gate in Dan's Crypt is empty. This may have been done in order to teach players about refilling bottles using Health Fountains.
