Life Bottle

Life Bottle HUD from the 2019 MediEvil remake.

Life Bottles, also known as Health Bottles, were said to contain a liquefied form of the magic that reanimated Sir Daniel Fortesque. They acted as measured portions of his life force. Life Bottles could be filled up using Health Fountains or Energy Vials, or by eating Roast Chicken.

Behind the scenes

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

In early pre-release versions of MediEvil, such as the MediEvil Rolling Demo, Life Bottles did not yet exist. Instead, Dan's life was represented by Lives.

Version specific differences

MediEvil (1999 Japanese original)

The Empty Bottle.

In the Japanese version of the original game, the Life Bottle found on the dirt mound near the Star Rune gate in Dan's Crypt is actually a unique item called an Empty Bottle (空のボトル, Sora no botoru). It is functionally the same as a Life Bottle but it is empty to begin with. This may have been done in order to teach players about refilling bottles using Health Fountains.
