Behind the scenes

Development

The exterior of Zarok's Lair comes from the cut level known as The Great Machine, as seen in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, a version of the game from late 1997:

The Great Machine Zarok's Lair

Also in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, Zarok's Lair begins with Dan already inside the arena and positioned in its centre.[1] This is possibly because the level was going to be accessed from The Hub level. The stained glass floor that Dan falls on in the 12AV full-motion video (FMV) featuring The Hub can be seen in MediEvil 2 during the INTROP1 FMV, at the top of the lair, suggesting that The Hub is located directly above it:

It is therefore possible that Dan was originally meant to enter the arena from the top.

Version specific differences

The level's name was changed to "The Chalice of Gallowmere" and its loading screen was updated. The updated image features Sir Dan and Zarok standing over Gallowmere.

Notes

  1. If Dan has less than two Life Bottles worth of stored energy when starting the level, two Fountains of Rejuvenation will become active in the arena. If Dan has less than four Life Bottles worth of stored energy, only one fountain will be active. If Dan has more than or equal to four Life Bottles worth of stored energy, no fountains will be active.
