Set up your [[PlayStation|PlayStation®]] according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual. Insert the [[MediEvil|MEDIEVIL™]] disc and close the disc cover.

MEDIEVIL™ tells a tale of good against evil, an adventure where one man gets a second chance to rid the world of a horrific, twisted sorcerer hungry for power and prove himself a true hero. As you enter the world of Gallowmere, you will need to keep your wits about you if you are to help Sir Dan defeat the monstrous Zarok.  

Over the next few pages, you'll find hints and advice that should help you get the most from this game. We recommend you study this manual carefully before starting a game.

Press the X button to skip to next section of the intro, or press the START button to skip straight to the Main menu.

During the introductory sequence, you'll reach the Main Menu area, a gravestone guarded by one of Zarok's malevolent monsters. Here you will find a choice of options. Select NEW GAME to commence your adventure, or, if you have a Memory Card containing a previously saved game, you can recommence the game by selecting LOAD GAME. This will take you to the strange collection of gravestones to the right of the Main Menu. See the section on saving and loading with a memory card further on in this manual.

These are the default controls. You may choose between this configuration and two optional button layouts using the BUTTON LAYOUR setting from the game's Pause menu. To recap on the control layout, use the VIEW CONTROLS option.

The controls for playing with an Analog Controller (DUAL SHOCK) are identical to those detailed above, except that you can use the left stick on the Analog Controller (DUAL SHOCK) instead of the directional buttons.

MEDIEVIL™ also supports the DUAL SHOCK™ vibration function, which you can toggle ON or OFF with the VIBRATION configuration in the CONTROL OPTIONS section of the Pause menu.

NOTE: Do not insert or remove peripherals or Memory Cards once the power is turned on. Make sure there is at least ONE FREE BLOCK on your Memory Card before commencing play.

At the end of certain levels you will reach the Map screen where you can save your progress. <br> Press the [[File:PSB-S.png]] button to save onto the Memory Card in either Memory Card slot 1 or Memory Card slot 2. Press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to enter a level without saving.

You can save up to three games on a single Memory Card, which will be stored within one Memory Card block. Select a save slot with the UP/DOWN Directional buttons and confirm the save using the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button. When saving over a previous saved game you will be asked to confirm your choice. <br> Once the save is concluded, you will be able to continue using the Map screen to select your next location.

On the Main Menu screen at the start of the game, select LOAD GAME. (LOAD GAME can only be accessed if a Memory Card containing MEDIEVIL™ saves is inserted into one of the Memory Card slots). You'll move over to a cluster of gravestones. The front-most stone will allow you to choose between two Memory Card slots should you have two Memory Cards inserted containing previous Medievil™ saved games. Highlight either 1 or 2, then press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to select the Memory Card. Behind the first gravestone, three larger stones will display the contents of the currently selected Memory Card. (NOTE: if you only have one Memory Card inserted, or only one of the Memory Cards has saved games on it, you will be taken directly to the LOAD GAME selection area.) Now select the save you wish to load, by using the LEFT/RIGHT directional buttons to move between the three gravestones. PRess the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to load and continue the selected save-game.

<!--not included: THE GAME SCREEN-->

MEDIEVIL™ has an intelligent camera system designed to choose the best camera angle for your game. However, in many areas of the game you can manually pan the camera, or enter a special Dan-Cam mode. At times when either of these modes is not available, attempting to activate them will cause a warning icon to be displayed. To operate these modes please see the control section earlier in this manual.

Press the START button in-game to open the Pause Menu. Use the UP/DOWN directional buttons to highlight an option and use the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to select it. See individual options for more detail:
