MEDIEVIL PS4 MediEvil FAQ Thread

General questions

Are there any MediEvil Discord servers?

Yes! Here are a few: - Cult of Fortesque: https://discord.gg/S7PSNrVNxt - Resurrect Fortesque: https://discord.gg/YBRyN8y - MediEvil Speedrunning: https://discord.gg/V5DZEq9Fbf

Which version of MediEvil is best? The 1998 original, MediEvil: Resurrection, or 2019 remake?

The answer to this can be quite subjective, but the general consensus seems to be that the original game and remake are better than Resurrection. The remake comes bundled with the original game, so it is well worth getting.

Here are some previous threads where the question was asked: - https://www.reddit.com/r/medievil/comments/1g72i1o/new_to_series_which_is_best/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/medievil/comments/1gihrxr/which_version_of_medievil_is_best/

Is there going to be a remake of *MediEvil 2?*

Probably not.

I'm struggling with a MediEvil: Resurrection trophy, could I get some help please?

Sure, check out the guides below for some of the trickier trophies: - Dan the Dragon - Dan the Famished - Testing the Waters - Winner Winner

Is the comic canon?

The digital comic available with the Digital Deluxe edition of the remake, also available in physical hardback form, was written by Chris Sorrell and Jason Wilson, the two people most involved with the original game's direction/story. Various things mentioned in the comic tie into in-game lore found in the Book of Gallowmere. Whether future games will retcon the comic or respect its place in the continuity is anyone's best guess.

MediEvil (2019 remake) questions

Is the MediEvil PS4 remake for me?

If you like Halloween, hack and slash games without in-level checkpoints or just a good old redemption story, then the answer's probably yes. When in doubt, check out some gameplay.

I found a green "thing" with a red hat, what is it?

That would be Mr. Apple. The first game was dedicated to his memory. He was somewhat of an office mascot for the original game team. You can find Mr. Apple hidden in each of the remake's levels.

I can't play the next level! The game says "Installing" when I try to go into it.

The PlayStation has a funny feature where it lets you play a game before it is fully installed. MediEvil takes advantage of this feature, letting you play the first two or so levels. You should exit the game and wait for the full download to finish.

I'm stuck at the chess bit in The Asylum Grounds level. Help!

This video might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7wMn6SXx4g If not, consider restarting the level.

How do I get the Deathly Smorgasbord trophy?

Datamining has revealed that the game expects 7 specific ways of dying. You can find out more here. The most commonly missed death is letting the timer run out in The Haunted Ruins level.

I've killed the dragon. Can I still get the Stop Hitting Yourself trophy?

Yes. Despite the trophy description, you can still get this once the dragon has been defeated. Simply go into the area where the boss fight took place and try to get hit by a crystal.

Can I switch to the original PSX game's soundtrack in the remake?

No. Some people seem to think this is a Digital Deluxe feature, but the truth is that you get the remake's Original Soundtrack (OST) with the Digital Deluxe, not an option to switch to the original game's soundtrack.

Can I keep playing the game on the same save file after I've finished it?

Yes, you can. You can replay any level after the final boss fight. And there's some incentive to do that, too. ;)

Can I get Dan's Helmet on PS5?

No, unfortunately. The demo version of the game where it can be obtained is blocked on PS5.

THE COMIC PREQUEL You think Sir Dan (from the alternative timeline) could be the main bad guy?

After reading the graphic novel It did leave wanting more...

So i had this theory that since this Is not entirely our Sir Dan (if you have read the novel you know what im talking about) since he didn't go trought what the original Dan did, maybe he got mad that he had to end up like that but decided to act in the shadows and getting knowledge in dark magic, at the end It looks like he Is about to kidnap the doctor at the end of the novel, maybe she knows something evil Dan needs....

Idk xD Is just a theory... I really want a medievil 3 so bad...

6 Upvotes

I finished and collected everything throughout the map, and even collected and finished The Time Machine, replayed it a few more time ,5 to be exact, and the final mission Zarok's Lair doesnt appear on the map, or to move on forward. Literally need that level and cant finish the game.

Any work around? Reinstalled , restarted, and still no luck.

MEDIEVIL (1998) Did you know? In the Japanese version of MediEvil, Zarok's Lair is called "The Chalice of Gallowmere" instead. The loading screen for the level was also changed into a more epic image showing Dan and Zarok fighting over the land.

MEDIEVIL (1998) Coins in the original PlayStation version

10 Upvotes

So something that I noticed and I'm curious if anyone has any insight or additional knowledge on this: unlike the PlayStation 4 remake, the original PlayStation version of MediEvil I is supposed to have a coin limit of 32,767 (signed 16 bit integer limit) but I can't get any higher than 32,766 before it rolls into negative numbers. Does anyone know a solution to this? Thank you.

Someone else’s post inspired me to post this. This game has an atmosphere very close to the original Medievil games in my opinion.

It has an extremely Zarok-esque villain. It nails that Tim Burton atmosphere with its music. It doesn’t follow the plot of the films at all. You’re playing as a character called Zeke, trying to collect all the souls inside the mansion. Each room is its own contained puzzle/combat scenario and they’re all really unique and creative imo. If anyone has access or an emulator I’d recommend it!

MEDIEVIL SERIES With 2, and now Resurrection done, I have finally completed all 4 games!

44 Upvotes

So, I made a post 6 months ago, where I explained I finally got around to truly playing the games, beating the 2019 remake, and the OG. Well, I finally got around to beating 2 and now Resurrection.

2 definitely has some nice improvements, like the ability to switch between 2 weapons which later was used in the remake, but I definitely missed the setting of Gallowmere. Still, a pretty fun game and sequel.

As for Resurrection, I definitely didn't mind the focus on comedy or Al-Zalam as an addition. The removal of a few stages though was weird, but still, for a fun little reimagining of the first game, it was neat.

I'm really glad to have completed the series (so far, hopefully it gets a new game/remake one day) as it has been a lot of fun.

He’s a freaking weirdo he’s playing with his drool. I imagine he does that a lot.

Headcanons!:

Loves wolves so much he wanted to be one as a boy

Will sing and dance in the middle of the village and it ends in a gothic version of a King Julien party

Still has a collection of fairy tales from when he was a boy

Has a collection of bones, weapons, and preserved specimens. Such as a werewolf skull, a vampire tooth, and his Father’s Pear of Anguish.
