'''Dragon Gems''' were precious jewels that could summon [[Dragons]]. | |||
== | ==History== | ||
By 1386, one Dragon Gem was in the possession of the [[Pumpkin Witch|Pumpkin Witch Wartilda]] and the other was owned by [[Zarok the Sorcerer]]. The Pumpkin Witch gave her gem to [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Sir Dan]] as a reward for defeating the [[The Pumpkin King|Pumpkin King]]. Zarok left his gem in [[the Town Mayor]]'s cell [[Inside The Asylum|inside the Asylum]], who was happy for Dan to take it. | |||
[[ | Subsequently, Dan used the gems to summon [[Mean Old Dragon|the dragon]] in [[the Crystal Caves]]. | ||
[[ | ==Gameplay== | ||
[[Category: | The Dragon Gems are required in order to progress past the [[Dragon Gate]] in [[the Gallows Gauntlet]] ([[Speedrunning:Dragon Gate Skip|without abusing glitches]]). The [[Dragon Armour]] needed to get past the gate can only be obtained by defeating the dragon, who can only be summoned using the gems. | ||

===Development=== | |||
The gems were a later addition to the [[MediEvil (1998)|game]] as they did not exist in early versions like the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'' or the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''. | |||
An unused book in [[The Sleeping Village]] would have explained how the Town Mayor acquired a Dragon Gem: | |||
{{Q|I managed to buy me-self a rare Dragon Gem from a travelling tramp who told me that these precious jewels could summon Dragons! What a laugh I thought to me-self and promptly purchased the treasure for a fraction of his asking price. I now carry it everywhere I go as a good luck trinket. Smashing!<br><br>Signed, the Town Mayor.}} | |||
The book was likely removed because, in the final game, the Town Mayor's dialogue implies that the gem was left behind by Zarok: | |||
{{Q|Right, well I'll see myself out, thanks. You have a good look around, lad, Zarok's left some stuff lying about that I think you might find useful.|The Town Mayor, shortly before leaving the Asylum.}} | |||
