He was known as the Hero of Gallowmere since then. However, this is later shown to be a lie made up by [[King Peregrin]], since Daniel was killed by the very first wave of arrows. | ||

He steals the souls of the townsfolk and brings the dead and inanimate to life. Unknowningly, however, he also revives Dan, who retains his free will. Being the only one who can stop him, Daniel leaves his [[Dan's Crypt|crypt]] and begins his journey through Gallowmere, which, if he succeeds, would make him the hero he had never been in life. | ||
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 [[Guardians of the Graveyard|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. | Dan makes his way through the [[The Graveyard|Graveyard]] and into [[Cemetery Hill]].
