It is said to fire guided bolts of energy, with the ability to charge it up to fire an immensely powerful but unguided blast. | In a [[Preview:PlayStation Plus, July 1997|PlayStation Plus magazine preview from July 1997]], the trident is described as a very powerful weapon and immensely difficult to get hold of.

Just some footages of the unused (not fully implemented) Trident weapon. Don't ask me how I managed to get it working.

* | *Another way to equip the trident without crashing is to set the '''camera mode''' to '''Free (Sus)''' beforehand. The game will still crash if the camera mode is changed to any other camera mode.{{ORref|Dan's Friend}} | ||
:*While in the '''Free (Sus)''' camera mode, it is possible to advance by a single frame by simply unpausing the game. This can be done indefinitely by repeatedly pausing and unpausing the game.{{ORref|Dan's Friend}} | :*While in the '''Free (Sus)''' camera mode, it is possible to advance by a single frame by simply unpausing the game.

[[File:MediEvilECTSPreAlpha-LakeLady-Animation.gif|thumb|right|The Lake Lady hands the trident over.]]The trident's model has been removed from the main [[WAD]] by the time of the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', making equipping it impossible. However, within one of the WAD files, a character known as the [[Lake Lady]] can be found. She emerges from The Lake to hand over the trident, suggesting that the weapon would be obtained in that particular level. This would mean that it would only be possible to obtain the trident near the end of the game, as The Lake was the game's penultimate level at this time.{{Gameref|ECTSPreAlpha}} | [[File:MediEvilECTSPreAlpha-LakeLady-Animation.gif|thumb|right|The Lake Lady hands the trident over.]]The trident's model has been removed from the main [[WAD]] by the time of the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', making equipping it impossible.
