    The Anubis Stone was a sacred stone imbued with powerful magic.

    History

    In 1386, Death revealed to Sir Dan that the stone was his only shot at defeating Zarok. Zarok used the stone's power a hundred years ago to create the Fazguls. After the Battle of Gallowmere, the stone was divided into four pieces and given to four people for safekeeping. Some of them lost their pieces, however, and some of them passed away.

    1. One piece was in the possession of the Mullock Chief. It was buried with him in his tomb after he passed away.
    2. One piece was owned by the Pumpkin Witch who resided in the Pumpkin Gorge.
    3. One piece was left in the Shadow Demon tomb.
    4. The final piece was given to King Peregrin, who retained ownership of it even after death.

    After Daniel successfully tracked down and assembled the pieces, he used the stone during his showdown with Zarok to create an army with which he could face the Fazguls. The soldiers the stone summoned were Daniel's comrades from the Battle of Gallowmere. Dan used the stone to further aid them in battle by healing them with his own life force.

    Behind the scenes

    Development

    The Anubis Stone was originally introduced as an artifact brought into Gallowmere's past by Kiyante in the 2003 MediEvil 3: Fate's Arrow concept pitch.

    In MediEvil: Resurrection, its role serves as a replacement for the Chalice of Souls and Good Lightning found in Zarok's Lair in the original MediEvil.

    Etymology

    The stone is named after Anubis, a jackal-headed god associated with the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion.
