Cemetery Hill is the third level in the Any% (No DGS) speedrun of the original MediEvil. The goal of this level is to collect the Witch Talisman and the Club and reach the exit.

Walkthrough

Tip: Right after the initial cutscene, the camera will look at Dan from the top, a little on his back. You can prepare the analog stick to move Top-Right to move Dan in the correct direction towards the passage, before the camera gets into the regular position looking at Dan from behind.

1. Enjoy the unavoidable cutscene at the beginning of this level. Make sure to skip Zarok's monologue.
2. As you gain control of Dan, run outside the starting area towards the lava pool.
3. Start going up the winding road and the first set of stairs.
4. Make a left after the first stairs and continue until you reach the opening on your left to drop into the area below.
5. Drop and open the Chest to collect the club. Leave the area by breaking the boulders in the archway.

Shortcut: You can perform the Cemetery Hill boulders skip to directly enter this area from the front, without a club. The video shows this method.

6. Run forward, past the lava pit and through the gate in front of you.
7. Use the bonfire to light your club on fire.
8. Turn left and enter the abandoned witches' coven by breaking the boulder.
9. Continue forward into the main coven room.
10. Run upstairs and enter the chalice room.
11. Using your club, light the bonfire in the center of the room and collect the Witch Talisman. It will be in the alcove on your Top-Left.
12. Leave this area and go towards the lava pit.

Shortcut: As you leave the coven area and pass through the first archway, you can climb up the little hill towards the fence and clip through it, instead of going to the lava pool. The video shows this method.

13. Get on the winding path by passing on the right side of the lava pool. Be careful, boulders will start appearing on the path very soon.
14. Start going up, making sure to time your jumps on the stairs that you find along the way.

Tip: Hug the wall on the winding path to avoid the falling boulders. If you are getting hit, you can jump to avoiding them more easily.

15. When you reach the Boulder Gargoyles at the top of the hill, watch the short cutscene.
16. As soon as it ends, run towards the exit and leave the level.

Shortcut: You can skip the gargoyles' cutscene using a glitch. It will save you a few seconds, but it is not very easy to perform. Ignore this if you're struggling with it. Just before the last stairs, you will see a tree branch growing from the ground. There's an almost invisible step that you can jump on onto the wall, to then jump on the branch. As you reach the branch, do not move, wait for Dan to stabilize, or he will fall back down. Jump to the top of the hill. From the very top, run past the gargoyles, keeping to the right side of the area. If you get too close to the center, you will trigger the cut-scene.
