"We have failed the Master! We give our lives!" ― Boulder Gargoyles, before killing themselves.

The Boulder Gargoyles (died 1386) were a pair of statues sitting atop Cemetery Hill. They were servants of Zarok.

History

The Evernight

The Boulder Gargoyles were brought to life by Zarok's magic after Sir Dan reached Cemetery Hill. Afterwards, the Gargoyles began hurling boulders from their mouths to bar Dan's progress up the hill. When Dan reached them, they lamented over having failed Zarok and sacrificed themselves by exploding.

Gameplay

The Gargoyles spit two types of rock: one type is smashable and the other isn't. The two types also take different paths down the hill.

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

In the original MediEvil, there is an unused piece of dialogue for the Gargoyles that can be found in the Sound Test menu after using cheats:

ID	Text	Audio
125	We must double our efforts to protect the Master!

MediEvil: Resurrection

The Boulder Gargoyles have a piece of dialogue in build 0.26 of the game that can no longer be heard in the final version, where they say nothing at all. The dialogue is reminiscent of what they say in the original game when Dan reaches the top of the hill:

ID	Text	Audio
00067_ss	We have failed, Zarok will be furious. We must forfeit our lives! It's not worth the earache.
