Summary

While Zarok the Sorcerer continues resurrecting the dead for his evil purpose, an ancient warrior begins to stir within his crypt. As the life-giving energy seeps into his bones and shakes him awake, he remembers the inglorious final moments of his life.

A hundred years ago, he stood at the forefront of Gallowmere's militia and charged into battle against Zarok himself. From atop his throne, the sly sorcerer ordered his troops to fire. Unfortunately for the warrior, he was struck in the eye by the very first arrow and died instantly.

He sits up from his slab and removes the cobweb from his eyeless eye socket. He smiles, knowing this is his chance to set things right. Sir Daniel Fortesque can finally live up to his legend. And so, his journey begins...

Behind the scenes

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

This is the only FMV with spoken dialogue in the game. This necessitated different audio tracks for each language version.

In real life

Historically, bows would not have been shot in volleys as this would not have been effective. The idea of shooting in volleys arose due to the use of firearms. Similarly, a command to "fire" a bow would not have been issued by a commander as this was specifically used for firearms as well.
