[[Sir Dan]] crashes into the earth after his journey through time with [[Kiya]]. However, Kiya is nowhere to be found. He soon realizes he's in the middle of a woodland hut and is quickly confronted by a monstrous hound. The hound turns out to be his dog from his living days, [[Lupo]]. The [[Captain Fortesque|living Sir Dan]] walks in looking for Lupo, but the hound decides to stay with the kinder, skeletal version of his master. After throwing a rock at a bat hanging off a tree (and missing), the living Dan leaves. | [[Sir Dan]] crashes into the earth after his journey through time with [[Kiya]].

The bat - | The bat - Karloff - takes Dan and Lupo to his master - The Oracle - who reveals that the timeline has been disrupted. [[Zarok]] has been joined by an evil Egyptian sorceress: [[Kiyante]], Queen of the Withering Sun. Kiya has played Dan like a fiddle, tricking him into rescuing her, stealing the [[Chrono-chair|Time Machine]] and delivering her into the company of the one figure from history whose evil ambitions mirror her own. By using an artifact known as the [[Anubis Stone]], she will raise an army of undead. She will ensure that living Sir Dan doesn't die so soon and instead sticks around long enough to doom the Gallowmere Militia, creating a new timeline where Zarok wins. | ||

Later, he makes a trip to Mullock Island, where he saves the Mullocks from a terrible beast, thus earning their allegiance and [[The Sewers|eventual worship]]. Then he travels to The Fairy Kingdom, where he aids the fairies led by [[Griff]] in their struggle against [[The Hornets]]. On Zarok's Island, Dan befriends [[The Giant Dwarves]] who help him steal the Anubis Stone from Zarok. In [[the Silver Wood]], Dan helps the [[Shrubbites]] rid themselves of the "Dark Shrubbite Curse" and gains the assistance of The Woodland Witch. | ||
At the eve of the Battle of Gallowmere, Dan plants special enchanted arrows in [[Lord Kardok]]'s tent, before concocting a special [[Body Swap Potion]] that enables him to switch bodies with cowardly Sir Dan and thus to lead the Gallowmere charge himself. Dan sacrifices himself in the battle and the timeline is restored. | At the eve of the Battle of Gallowmere, Dan plants special enchanted arrows in [[Lord Kardok]]'s tent, before concocting a special [[Body Swap Potion]] that enables him to switch bodies with cowardly Sir Dan and thus to lead the Gallowmere charge himself.

===Development=== | |||
Many elements from ''MediEvil 3: Fate's Arrow'', such as Al-Zalam, the Anubis Stone and the Shrubbites were used in ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'', a reimagining of the first game in the series that was developed in its stead. The name of one of the mini games in ''MediEvil: Resurrection'' is a reference to ''Fate's Arrow'' – [[Arrow o' Fate]]. | |||
