Fans of Sony’s long-dormantMediEvilfranchise were treated to a welcome addition this weekend in the form of thePlayStation 4 remake ofMediEvil. After 21 years, the original adventure of skeleton knight Sir Daniel Fortesque has been dusted off and polished for the HD era.
With all the time that’s passed since 1998, many players are bound to be heading into this game for the first time, which means they won’t immediately know where to find the game’s 20 chalices. These are collectibles that grant various weapons and items, with one in nearly every level. To collect one, players must first fill it by killing enough enemies in the level (their progress shows every time they kill an enemy) and then carry it to the end without getting a game over or quitting first.

While it’s not necessary to collect all of the chalices to complete theMediEvilremake, they are needed to unlock a better ending given to those who reach 100% completion. It helps, then, to know where to find them all.
#1 – The Graveyard
Around the halfway point of this level, past a rune-locked gate, players can come across an angel statue. Hitting it causes the statue to turn, opening a gate to its right which leads to the chalice. As with plenty of the chalices to come, players will likely not have killed enough enemies by this point, so they’ll have to press on and backtrack once they’ve killed enough enemies in order to collect a full chalice.
#2 – Cemetery Hill
On the hill with the rolling stones, there’s a spot to the left where players can jump down into an area with two headless zombies and a chest. Inside the chest is a club that can be used to smash the big rock blocking the entrance to the witch’s cave on the far right side of Cemetery Hill, as well as a bookshelf blocking off a ritual room inside the cave. Pressing the circle button makesSir Danielhold out the club and set it on fire. With the flaming club in hand, players then need to head to the cave’s prison cells and light up the brazier in the middle of the room. This opens the cells, including the one the chalice is in. Players can also find an item called the Witch Talisman here, which they’ll need to get another chalice later on.
#3 – The Hilltop Mausoleum
The chalice in this level is behind a secret door in the room with a ghost playing a piano. Opening the door, however, first requires players to give the ghost some sheet music, which is hidden away in a cellar with colored glass windows located earlier in the level.
#4 – Return to the Graveyard
This chalice is easy to find, as it’s located on the level’s main route, inside a house set into the base of hill. Collecting the rune on top of the hill lets players enter the house, where they’re greeted with the chalice right there in front of them.
#5 – Scarecrow Fields
Near the end of the level, players can see the chalice off in the distance, inaccessible at that moment. To make it accessible, they have to make their way across fields full of deadly farm-themed traps and solve a puzzle involving collecting a harvest machine’s missing part. The machine will then mow a path that leads to the chalice. It’s worth noting though, that filling the chalice requires taking out nearly all of the scarecrow enemies in the level, and for some reasonScarecrow Fieldsthrows a huge number of these powerful enemies at Sir Daniel. It can be really frustrating for early players to deal with, so they should probably save this one for later, once they have better weapons.
#6 – Pumpkin Gorge
At the start of the level, players are going to want to head down the first path on the right and the tunnel it leads into. There, they can enter the room with a Merchant Gargoyle inside and smash the brick wall next to it with a club to reveal another tunnel where the chalice is. Since it’s at the start of the level, the backtracking players will have to do after killing enough enemies will be plenty severe.
#7 – The Pumpkin Serpent
This chalice is easy enough to find. Upon defeating the level’s boss, the Pumpkin King, a well near the start of level opens up. Jump down the well, and the chalice is there.
#8 – The Sleeping Village
After they’ve put a crucifix in a church, players find themselves in a gated area, where the chalice is hiding behind a breakable wall near a big house. The challenge here is that this level is full of possessed villagers, which players must avoid killing at all costs, as killing them decreases their chalice progress and make it harder to fill.
#9 – The Asylum Grounds
This chalice is actually out in the open, located right next to the giant elephant statue. However, players are going to have to solve a few riddles to open enough of the level to find enough enemies.
#10 – Inside the Asylum
Another easy-to-find chalice, this one is next to the level exit. It’s also impossible to miss, because it’s right next to the rune players have to collect to finish the level.
