The Silver Wood

PLEASE NOTE: This page refers to content that is not present in the final versions of the game due to being cut, removed or repurposed.

The Silver Wood, also known as the Jabberwocky Chase or the Dragon Chase, is a level that was cut from MediEvil. The level revolved around Sir Dan being chased by the Jabberwocky.

The Silver Wood
General information
Enemies	Jabberwocky, Spiders
FMV before level	9AV
FMV after level	10AV
Chronological information
Previous level	21. Circle of Shadows
Next level	23. The Ghost Ship

The level is present in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, but it is only accessible via hacking. Although the level is devoid of enemies in this early game version, its WAD and VLO files suggest that in addition to the Jabberwocky, spiders were going to appear in the level.

Bits of the level can also be seen in the promotional trailer for the game.

Level structure

Much like the similar Mud Slide level, The Silver Wood is not linear; there are several divergent paths Dan can take through the woods to find various unique sights, such as a swampy area with a waterfall, a path lined with spikes leading to a pair of Buddha statues, and a cobweb spider tunnel. However, all the paths eventually converge, leading to the same exit.

In the final game

"The army marched south across the Silver Mountains and through the Silver Woods. Soon afterwards even the Pumpkinlands belonged to Zarok - and Gallows Town looked to be his for the taking." ― HISTORY OF GALLOWMERE - Volume 2

The level was entirely replaced by a new version of the 9AV full motion video, which was originally played at the start of the level showing the beginning of the chase only. The new version of 9AV included new footage of Dan landing in the Circle of Shadows area and combined the rest of 9AV with 10AV. The level location itself, the Silver Woods, are only mentioned once in the released game, in a book found in the Sleeping Village.
