Pools of the Ancient Dead (死者たちの沼, Shisha-tachi no numa) is the fourteenth level in MediEvil. It is where the Battle of Gallowmere was fought against Zarok, 100 years prior to the events of MediEvil; presumably, it was here where Sir Dan was killed. It has since become inundated with large quantities of water, converting it into a swamp, filled with undead soldiers. Dan talks to the Boat Man here, who says he will take Dan to the sunken town of Mellowmede if Dan brings him eight lost souls.

Weapons are useless against the heavy armour of the knights. Don't let them shove you in the swamp - that mud will never come out.

Trivia

• A boss battle against The Swamp Guardian was considered for this level, but the idea never made it past the conceptual stage.
