Description and usage

MediEvil (1999)

In the Japanese version of MediEvil, Dan begins the game with the helmet equipped. It can be removed by selecting it in the inventory and equipped again by selecting it once it has been removed. It only serves as a cosmetic item and wearing it doesn't provide any bonuses. Dan also wears the helmet in all the loading screens and full motion videos until he loses it in the ending FMVs.

MediEvil (2019)

In the PS4 remake of MediEvil, equipping the helmet doubles the damage output of all enemies, serving as a kind of hard mode. The helmet can only be obtained in the MediEvil Short-Lived Demo by picking it up near Dan's resting place and downloading it from the PlayStation Store.

Trivia

  • The helmet was added into the game, because the Japanese might have seen Dan's skeletal head as a bad spirit and not a 'hero.'[2]
  • In the remake, completing the MediEvil Short-Lived Demo will allow players to unlock Dan's helmet to wear in the full game.
