|Hold the R1 button and use the directional buttons / left stick in relation to the direction Dan is facing to make him strafe left or right, or to walk forwards or backwards.

Though this ability isn't available from the start, Dan eventually learns that he can remove his hollow skull and put it to good use. You might have seen some spare hands scampering about the place. Guide Dan towards a hand and wait until a glowing aura appears around it. Now hold down the L1 button and press the [[File:PSB-T.png]] button. Dan will place his head on the hand and voila! You now have a rather nifty Dan-Hand that you can use to explore every nook and cranny for hidden treasure and important items. You can also use Dan's headless body and the Dan-Hand independently of each other. While Dan-hand is off exploring, Dan's body can continue fighting off enemies and performing more strenous tasks. Cool, huh? Once you have the ability, if you have seen a hand earlier in the game you may want to go back and see if you can use Dan-hand ability on them to access secret areas.

As you progress through the adventure, you will find many useful items. Once collected, these are automatically stored into Dan's inventory. To use them, press the SELECT button to open your inventory, then press ◄/► to highlight an object, and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to select it. To equip a weapon highlight one of the two weapon slots and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button a second time, to exit the inventory press the SELECT or [[File:PSB-T.png]] button. Use the ▲/▼ Directional buttons to move to another level of items. [[:category:Weapons and shields (MediEvil 2)|Weapons and shields]] are found on the first two lines, with [[:Category:Other items (MediEvil 2)|other items]] below. Some items are only usable at certain points in the game. If you are attempting to use an item in the wrong place, a 'clunking' sound will play.<br>

The projector shows you images of different locations across London. Here, the Professor will brief you on your next mission. Step on the floor-plate, then press the [[File:PSB-S.png]] button to hear the briefing, the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to begin the mission or the [[File:PSB-T.png]] button to cancel the selection and return to the lab. Press ◄ or ► to choose from the locations available to you. Once you've made your selection, you will be offered the change to save your game.<br>

Winston has been sent by the Professor to help you. Whenever you see his spectral trail (a glowing cloud of particles), walk up to it and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button. Winston will offer you advice or warn you about impending doom. He's an enthusiastic little fella, but take heed - he can often be a little cryptic, so his advice may not be as straight-forward as it first seems.<br>

To buy items from the Spiv, walk up to him and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button. A menu will open - press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to select PROVISION (or, once you've gained the enchanted sword, SERVICES), then select the item you require by pressing ▲ or ▼ to highlight it, then press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button. Press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button again to continue to purchase items until you have either bought as many as you can carry or you have run out of money.

Whenever you see a book, stand in front of it, then press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button. If necessary, use the ▲/▼ directional buttons to scroll through the text.<br>

Select two weapons from your inventory, then hold down the L1 button and tap the [[File:PSB-S.png]] button. You can do this at any time, even when running away from the enemy... not that a brave warrior ever runs away, you understand.

Run directly from Dan's tomb into the room opposite the hallway. Stand in front of the central glass cabinet and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button; Dan will remove his own arm. Press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button again and Dan will hit the cabinet with his arm, smashing the glass. Move forward and collect the sword. Return back into the corridor and turn left, and follow the corridor into the large room with central 'ancient tomb'. Using the sword, chop up the resident zombies, then go inside the central tomb and collect the [[Museum Key]].

Go through the central door on the landing, and Dan will be faced with two '[[Musket Knight]]s' that he must destroy. Shoot them with your pistol and duck behind the central display case as cover against their shot, or defend with the shield pressing the [[File:PSB-T.png]] button to deflect their shot. Exit the area through the door opposite the entrance, and run along the landing and summon Winston. He will explain about the Spivs that cane be used for services and provisions. Move Dan in front of the Spiv and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button, and the Spiv will open his coat offering provisions. Take this opportunity to top up the pistol with bullets.

Return to the central hallway, go over to the cannon, and stand behind and facing it. Press the SELECT button to access the Inventory, highlight the cannonball and press the [[File:PSB-X.png]] button to load the cannonball in to the cannon. Walk over to the burning torch hanging from the wall, then select the torch from Dan's Inventory and use the flames from the wall-torch to light it. Return to the cannon and use the torch to ignite it.
