In the September 1997 prototype, the level can be fully accessed. The level's design is similar to the [[Pools of the Ancient Dead]] and decorated with dragon bones. Due to its unfinished state, no enemies, items, or anything else were implemented at this point.
The level can be accessed in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', but only via hacking. The level, being a part of the game's swamp section, is somewhat similar to the [[Pools Of The Ancient Dead]], but features many dragon bones and a muddy vertical section that needs to be climbed in order to exit the level. Due to the level's unfinished state, there are no enemies to fight, or items to collect. However, the level's VLO suggests that [[Armoured Knights]] were set to appear in the level.


Some brief scenes, which are of the Muddy Riverbank, can be seen in an old promotional trailer; [[Dan]] can be seen crossing a long wooden bridge which leads to an island of [[dragon]] bones, where [[Armoured Knights]], [[Mud Knights]], and [[Ghouls]] can also be encountered.

In prototype builds of the game from June 1998, such as [[MediEvil/SCES-00311/0.28|MediEvil 0.28]], what appears to be the Muddy Riverbank can be seen in an early version of the [[Land Map]]. It is located in the same position as [[the Lake]] in the final game.
In the ''[[MediEvil/SCES-00311/0.28|MediEvil 0.28]]'' development build, The Muddy Riverbank can be seen in an early version of the [[Land Map]]. It is located in the same position as [[the Lake]] in the final game.
 
According to [[Jason Wilson's notes]], the Muddy Riverbank could be accessed after collecting all [[Soul Helmet|shields]] for [[the Boat Man]] in the Pools of the Ancient Dead.<ref name="Jason's note"></ref>
 
==Trivia==
*The island's entrance, made of a pair of dragon skulls and spinal cords is somewhat similar to the Dragon Gate from [[the Gallows Gauntlet]] level.


According to [[Jason Wilson's notes]], at some point in development, The Muddy Riverbank would have become accessible after collecting all [[Soul Helmet|shields]] for [[the Boat Man]] in the Pools Of The Ancient Dead.<ref name="Jason's note"></ref> This is likely after The River and The Mud Slide levels were already cut.
==Repurposed elements==
Although the level didn't make it into the final game, a few of its elements were reintroduced into [[The Gallows Gauntlet]] level in development build [[MediEvil/SCES-00311/0.39|0.39]].
