===Overview===
Chalices of Souls can be found in almost every level of the [[MediEvil (series)|''MediEvil'' games]]. Collecting chalices allows the player to visit the Hall of Heroes in ''[[MediEvil (1998)|MediEvil]]'' and ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'', while in ''[[MediEvil 2]]'' they are redeemed in [[The Professor's Lab]] instead. This leads to obtaining rewards such as weapons, [[Life Bottle]]s and [[treasure]]. Chalices can only be collected once in ''MediEvil'' and ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', but can be collected many times in ''MediEvil 2''; duplicate chalices are converted into chests of gold.

[[wikipedia:Binary number#Decimal to Binary|Converting]] the decimal number '''108152''' into binary gives us '''11010011001111000''' from which we will discard the last 12 digits:
There are four chalice modifiers used in the game:

11010011001111000 >> 12 = 11010

Then we [[wikipedia:Binary number#Binary to Decimal|convert]] the binary number '''11010''' back to decimal, which gives us the result: '''26''' souls.
======Chalice modifiers======
The '''chalice modifier''' is a number between '''0-4096''' that affects how many souls are needed to fill a chalice in a level.{{ORref|DF}} There are four chalice modifiers used in the game:
*'''2458''' - [[The Graveyard]]'s chalice modifier. This reduces the number of souls needed to collect the chalice to about '''59%''' of the total amount, presumably because this is the first level with a chalice.
*'''2458''' - [[The Graveyard]]'s chalice modifier. This reduces the number of souls needed to collect the chalice to about '''59%''' of the total amount, presumably because this is the first level with a chalice.
*'''3072''' - [[The Pumpkin Serpent]]'s chalice modifier. This reduces the amount of souls needed to about '''73%'''. This was likely done because several [[Pumpkin Plant]]s are set to spawn around the [[Pumpkin King]] periodically; waiting for all of them to spawn can take a long time.
