MediEvil: Resurrection manual: Difference between revisions

One hundred years later Zarok has returned, turning day into night and raising an undead army to conquer the land. But Dan has also been resurrected and given a second chance...  

Is evil finally about to triumph over good?<br />Will Dan be a convincing hero or a complete coward?<br />Can he ever earn the respect of the true heroes of Gallowmere?<br />And is [[Al-Zalam]] really a powerful genie or just a hustler squatting in Dan's head?<br />Is it time the past was consigned to the history books once and for all. The answers lie only in the future...

Press and hold the R button to fix the camera behind Dan. He will continue to look forwards at all times, which can be useful when facing enemies or particular obstacles.

To the left of the game screen you will see a green bar which acts as Dan's energy meter. If this meter should become empty, Dan will die. Again.

Keep your eyes open for green health vials and bottles which - although he'll always look like he's been dead for the past hundred years- can be used to restore Dan's 'health'. You can refill both Dan's energy bar and any empty life bottles at 'health fountains', which you might come across during your travels. Bear in mind that each fountain contains only a limited amount of life energy, so use them wisely. Life bottles are used to replenish Dan's energy meter when it has reached zero.

A major part of Dan's quest is to make amends for his cowardly past and prove himself a true hero. The legendary wariors of Gallowmere have set out a series of challenegd that he must complete in order to earn their respect.

In many levels a golden chalice is hidden away. In these levels, Dan must find the chalice and then use it to rescue and store as many of the lost souls Zarok has stolen and used to fuel his vile henchmwn. Every time an enemy is defeated, their soul will be added to the chalice and once full, Dan will be granted access to the Hall of Heroes at the end of the level.

The Hall of Heroes is the final resting place for the bravest champions from all history; where their exulted souls spend an eternity reminiscing about their greatest triumphs.

As Sir Dan was never actually a 'real' hero, he has to earn the right to tread these hallowed hallways by completing the chalice challeneges. Each time he is granted access, Dan will be confronted by one of the true heroes of Gallowmere, whom, be it through chivalry or pity, will usually help him out.

Gold coins can be found scattered all over Gallowmere. Try and collect as much treasure as possible; you can use it to buy supplies which should aid Dan's quest.

The shifty wheeler-dealers of Gallowmere; give these gargoyles a whack to let them know you want to do some business. When prompted, choose 'Supplies' to purchase some ammo or health, or 'Services' to repair Dan's shields.

There is only one way Sir Dan will ever silence the snickers of the true heroes of Gallowmere; he must prove his prowess and achieve success on the battlefield.

Now, you might think that being dead for so long would leave Sir Dan feeling rather stiff and out of sorts. However, without muscles to pull and ligaments to sprain, he's actually more agile than ever and able to pull off a wide variety of attacking moves.

As well as the basic quick and slow attacks, each weapon has a sophisticated range of advanced attacks. You can learn how to use these advanced attacks by reading the revelant weapon handback, found in Sir Dan's crypt.

Holding down either of the attack buttons for a period of time permits many weapons to summon additional power, allowing Sir Dan to execute more devastating attacks.

When equipped with a ranged weapon such as a bow, a family of green sprites will appear to help Sir Dan succesfully hit his targets. The sprites fly ahead of Sir Dan leaving a green trail as they seek out adversaries; whenever an enemy comes within targeting range, their color will change to red.
