'''The Hilltop Mausoleum''' is the fourth level in ''[[MediEvil (1998)|MediEvil]]'' and its remake, also serving as an inspiration for the level of the same name in ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]''. A grand cathedral at the summit of [[Cemetery Hill]], it is the fourth level in the Necropolis. It is also one of the few areas to remain consistent across all three releases. The player is introduced to [[imp]]s, diminutive creatures with a humanoid appearance, porcine voices, and sticky fingers.

Make a right to find a torch on a block and push the block beneath the glass heart, grabbing the [[Throwing Daggers]] and the [[Copper Shield]] en route; then watch as the soul shards of the [[Stained Glass Demon]] gather in the pulpit. When ready, follow them and confront the Demon, who will fly in from a window and attack. Defeat it for the [[Skull Key]]. Once Dan takes it, he will exit the area.

This time, talk to Stanyer Iron Hewer who is in the upper right. He will give you the [[Hammer]]. You can power up the hammer with the {{Button|S}} button. The Hammer can smash through things, like a Club, but it doesn't fall apart like one.
