[[File:MediEvilECTSPreAlpha-LakeLady-Animation.gif|thumb|right|The Lake Lady hands the trident over.]]The trident's model has been removed from the main [[WAD]] by the time of the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', but the weapon can still be equipped by setting '''difficulty''' to '''2''' as per above. Additionally, a character known as the [[Lake Lady]] can be found within one of the game's WAD files. She emerges from The Lake to hand over the trident, suggesting that the weapon would be obtained in that particular level. This would mean that it would only be possible to obtain the trident near the end of the game, as The Lake was the game's penultimate level at this time.{{Gameref|ECTSPreAlpha}} | [[File:MediEvilECTSPreAlpha-LakeLady-Animation.gif|thumb|right|The Lake Lady hands the trident over.]]The trident's model has been removed from the main [[cambridge:WAD|WAD]] by the time of the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', but the weapon can still be equipped by setting '''difficulty''' to '''2''' as per above.
