Dan makes his way through the [[The Graveyard|Graveyard]] and into [[Cemetery Hill]]. After a short meeting with Zarok, Daniel proceeds with exploring the area and finds a [[Witch Talisman]]. He then continues to the [[Hilltop Mausoleum]], where he fights the [[Stained Glass Demon]] for the key that unlocks the Graveyard's gates. He [[Return to the Graveyard|returns to the Graveyard]], uses the key to unlock the Skull Gates and battles the graveyard's guardians for freedom. After defeat, they grant him the [[The Daring Dash|''Daring Dash'']] ability. When he finds his way out of the [[Scarecrow Fields]], Dan travels to the [[Pumpkin Gorge]], where he summons the [[Pumpkin Witch]] with his talisman. She promises to reward him with a [[Dragon Gem]] if he defeats the [[The Pumpkin Serpent|Pumpkin King]]. After defeating the King and getting the gem, Dan travels to [[The Sleeping Village|Gallows Town]], which is soon overrun by Zarok's henchmen.

He learns that Zarok wants to find the shadow artefact in order to release the Shadow Demons from their tomb underneath the Enchanted Earth. Daniel manages to find the shadow artefact before Zarok, however. Daniel then leaves the for the [[The Asylum Grounds|Asylum Grounds]], where he encounters [[Jack of the Green]], a gargoyle that claims the labyrinth as his domain. He gives riddles to Dan, which he must answer if he wishes to find a way out of the grounds. Daniel eventually enters the [[Inside the Asylum|Asylum]], where he finds the [[Town Mayor]]. After freeing him from his cell, he tells Dan to take the Dragon Gem Zarok left behind.

Daniel then travels to the [[Enchanted Earth]], where he may summon a witch and help her get her amber from the [[The Ant Caves|ant's nest]]. If Daniel chooses to help the witch, he will fight the Ant Queen and receive some magical Chicken Drumsticks from the witch as a reward. In the forest, he locates the Shadow Demon tomb and opens it with the Shadow Artifact. In order to access the later parts of Gallowmere, Daniel releases the demons from their tomb. After defeating two Demonettes, Daniel makes his way to the [[Pools of the Ancient Dead]] - The place where the battle of Gallowmere took place. There, Daniel meets the Grim Reaper. He asks Dan to bring him 10 lost souls in exchange for rowing Dan to the sunken city of Mellowmede. At [[The Lake|Mellowmede]], Daniel finds a way to the [[The Crystal Caves|Crystal Caves]], where he awakens a dragon using the two dragon gems he collected. The Dragon gives Daniel the [[dragon potion]] after Dan defeats him.

Dan proceeds to [[The Gallows Gauntlet|the Gallows Gauntlet]]. He uses the Dragon potion to get through the Dragon gates. Finally, he reaches [[The Haunted Ruins|the Haunted Ruins]] - Once Gallowmere's seat of power. Within this keep, he frees 3 peasants and encounters the ghost of [[King Peregrin]]. The King instructs him to unleash the lava behind the castle's floodgates in order to defeat the Shadow demons. Daniel does so, but it brings two stone golems to life. After defeating them, he quickly catapults himself out of the castle. He lands around a huge stone structure, when a [[Jabberwocky]] darts out of nowhere. It chases Dan, until Daniel reaches a cliff. In the last minute, he is saved by a giant bird (presumably a dragon bird). The bird drops Dan on the [[The Ghost Ship|Ghost Ship]]. Daniel makes his way to the ship's captain, which he defeats and then takes control over the ship.

Using the ship, Daniel travels to Zarok's Castle. He explores it's [[Entrance Hall]], until he finds a passage to Zarok's [[The Time Device|Time Device]], a great city of cogs and clocks built by ''the darkest of magic'' - science. Within the city, he finds Zarok's train, which he uses to reach [[Zarok's Lair]]. Finally, Daniel confronts Zarok. Zarok summons his troops to kill Dan, but Daniel uses the souls he had collected within the chalices to create his own skeletal army. The two forces battle, until Daniel's side emerges victorious. Zarok then calls upon his champion, [[Lord Kardok]]. Once again, Daniel wins. Zarok then casts a spell that transforms him into a monstrous creature. Once Daniel defeats him, Zarok falls to the ground. In a last attempt to defeat his enemy, he casts a spell that causes the lair to collapse. Zarok is crushed by the ceiling while Dan runs for the door.
