Chalice of Souls

The Chalice of Souls, or simply Chalice, was a sacred collectible item. Collecting a chalice allowed an individual to visit the Hall of Heroes where tributes could be paid to its heroes.

History

In 1386, twenty chalices were sent down to Earth by Gallowmere's heroes as a challenge for Sir Daniel Fortesque, allowing him to prove himself a true hero by collecting them all.

Five hundreds year later, chalices materialised once again, this time in London. The reason for this is unknown. Professor Hamilton Kift, a local scientist with an interest in the occult, converted their power into weapons for Sir Dan.

Gameplay

Chalices of Souls can be found in almost every level of the MediEvil games. Collecting chalices allows the player to visit the Hall of Heroes in MediEvil and MediEvil: Resurrection, while in MediEvil 2 they are given to the Professor instead. This leads to obtaining rewards such as weapons, Life Bottles and treasure.

In order to collect the chalice in MediEvil and MediEvil 2, Sir Dan has to dispatch the required amount of evil souls to fill the chalice. While filling a chalice is not required to collect it in MediEvil: Resurrection, Dan will still need to fully fill the chalice with souls in order to visit the Hall of Heroes.

Some levels, such as The Sleeping Village and Kew Gardens, will also require that Dan protects good souls. Losing too many good souls will drain the chalice and may result in it becoming uncollectable.

Collecting all chalices in MediEvil and MediEvil 2 will also reward the player with a different ending. However, this is not the case in MediEvil: Resurrection which only has one ending regardless of how many chalices are collected.

Behind the scenes

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

In early pre-release versions of MediEvil from 1997, such as the MediEvil Rolling Demo, chalices did not yet exist. It is likely they were created as part of the game's redesign in early 1998.

In other media

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

Sir Dan uses a chalice during his Level 2 Super Move. Several souls are released from the chalice which will kill any opponents they come into contact with.
