The back nine of the Graveyard will feel much shorter than the front nine, but rest assured that Sir Dan will be tested. To get completion, Dan will need to master the art of platforming. The bridge at the entrance has a weak middle section, which will fall into the river as Dan walks or runs across it; but there are also coffins floating below. Drop onto a coffin and float until the camera angle changes and a ledge comes into view.
The back nine of the Graveyard will feel much shorter than the front nine, but rest assured that Sir Dan will be tested. To get completion, Dan will need to master the art of platforming. The bridge at the entrance has a weak middle section, which will fall into the river as Dan walks or runs across it; but there are also coffins floating below. Drop onto a coffin and float until the camera angle changes and a ledge comes into view. From the widest point of the coffin, perform a running jump at the centre of the ledge, and land on the riverbank for a sizable cache of [[gold coins]] and a couple of [[Energy Vial]]s, then take the stairs around the corner to the right and snag another small bag of gold.
 
Dan will drop back into the basin that was fairly sparse in [[The Graveyard]]. Grab the Energy Vial off the small ledge and visit with the [[Merchant Gargoyle]] as needed, then whack the chest for a [[Silver Shield]]. Next, smack a batch of [[zombie]]s (or crack open the nearby [[Smart Bomb]] and let it do the work) and head back up the hard-to-see stairs. Bash a few more zombies, and Dan will be back at the large door. If needed, sidle the ledge at the top of the stairs and use the [[Fountain of Rejuvenation]] to top up.
 
Return to the door and use the [[Skull Key]] (from [[The Hilltop Mausoleum]]) to open it. Smash the [[Wolf|wolves]] in this area and note the undertaker's shack in the distance. Come around the shack to an outcropping with a zombie and some gold, then head to the top of the hill and grab the [[Star Rune]]. Return to the shack and open the gates to take the Energy Vial and gold on the porch, then head in.
 
The [[Chalice of Souls]] is (almost) ripe for the taking. To get it, go right first and smack the zombies that drop down. Jump into the light to reach the right-hand cliff above and find a large stone. Get behind said stone and push it all the way across the cliff until it lands in the water with a satisfying "sploosh." Grab the goodies on the cliff heading back.
 
Clear the left wing of zombies and jump into the light once more. Push the stone on the upper cliff right and into the water, slashing any zombies in the path. Repeat for the stone on the lower cliff.  Then, collect the Chalice.
 
Finally, use the broken bridge or the left cliff to jump onto the stone bridge Dan created. Use the nearby font to top up. The [[Guardians of the Graveyard]] await beyond the gates; defeating them awards the Daring Dash.
