Sir Dan summoned the dragon using two [[Dragon Gem]]s. After a short battle, the dragon relented and gave Dan the armour.

The Dragon Armour was a green set of armour. It had a scaly appearance. The helmet resembled the head of a dragon. | |||

To obtain the Armour, Sir Dan needs to defeat the Mean Old Dragon in The Crystal Caves. The Dragon can only be summoned by inserting two Dragon Gems into the sockets of a nearby relief of a dragon's head. | To obtain the Armour, Sir Dan needs to defeat the Mean Old Dragon in The Crystal Caves.

Once the armour is worn, Sir Dan's appearance alters slightly to that of a dragon, while he also gains resistance against fire and the ability to breathe it. The armour is required to pass through the [[Dragon Gate]] in [[The Gallows Gauntlet]]. Wearing the armour in the Japanese version of the original game will slowly deplete Dan's health. | Once the armour is worn, Sir Dan's appearance alters slightly to that of a dragon, while he also gains resistance against fire and the ability to breathe it. The armour is required to pass through the [[Dragon Gate]] in [[The Gallows Gauntlet]]. Wearing the armour in the Japanese version of the original game or while having [[Dan's Helmet]] equipped in the remake will slowly deplete Dan's health. In the original game it is possible for Dan to die from this effect even during intermissions. | ||

The Dragon Potion would have originally transformed Dan into [[Dragon Dan]] instead of providing him with the Dragon Armour. The early model for the potion consisted of a red bottle with a dragon's tail and head coming out of it. It appears in the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'', only accessible in-game through hacking.<ref name = "SS11">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NdiBXWguMw|''MediEvil Rolling Demo'' (Early Prototype) Unused Stuff] by [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC49_xnrlBAzXCKgEPgO1oaA SolidSnake11].</ref> The potion's model in the final game was once the [[MediEvil Rolling Demo#Potions|Serpent Potion]], which would have summoned [[Kul Katura the Serpent Lord]] after being picked up. | The Dragon Potion would have originally transformed Dan into [[Dragon Dan]] instead of providing him with the Dragon Armour.

While the potion would have likely appeared in the environment like other potions in the ''Rolling Demo'', a different method of obtaining it was considered before the development team settled on the dragon. According to the [[Jason Wilson's notes|notes]] of [[Jason Wilson]], the game's designer, the potion would have once been obtained in the [[Pools Of The Ancient Dead]] level. Dan would have had to defeat a [[huge undead knight]] in order to obtain it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_1EyYC0h_U|title=MediEvil's design history|site=@GunnVideos on YouTube|October 9, 2016}}</ref> | While the potion would have likely appeared in the environment like other potions in the ''Rolling Demo'', a different method of obtaining it was considered before the development team settled on the dragon.
