    You haven't got your army now - better to use stealth than charge in. Beware the watchers - if they spot you they will soon summon others.

    Book 2

    The Crystal contraptions that surround the whirlpool can freeze its dangerously turbulent waters.

    You will need all of the Rune keys to activate the magical machines.

    Behind the scenes

    Development

    MediEvil: Resurrection

    Although not present in MediEvil: Resurrection, Death briefly mentions Mellowmede during a cutscene in the Return to the Graveyard level.[1][1.1] According to the game's script writer and lead designer Dominic Cahalin, Mellowmede was only mentioned in the game "for fun" and to "stay true to the idea that Gallowmere was a “real place” with consistent history and geography etc."[2]

    Version specific differences
