• Why would Dan want to release the Shadow Demons? Alternatively, why would the exit from The Enchanted Earth to Pools of the Ancient Dead only be accessible after the demons are released?
  • Because the rune gate was sealed, it seems like it was the only apparent way through.
• What exactly happened to Dan's missing jaw bone in the preceding 100 years? It's not like it could have gone far from the rest of him in that time.
  • After 100 years uncovered in a mausoleum, Dan was lucky his jaw was the only part of his skeleton missing, a more nightmarishly idea, remember he was the first to fall in a charge it could have been trampled off.
  • According to the comic, a witch might have stolen the jaw.
• How did a guy who was such a wimp when he was alive suddenly become so good at fighting when he's revived as one of the undead?
  • To be fair, in All There in the Manual it is noted that he was a soldier, just not a very good one just incredibly lucky, plus he had some combat experience seeing as his first shown act was to charge at Zaroks' army, not run away in fear.
  • What about the enemies Dan faces in the Pool of the Ancient Dead? Are his own countrymen from the great battle a century ago among the armored corpses he now has to put to rest again?
    • The implication is that all the dead warriors are now undead and fighting Sir Dan. Just going by character design, only some of the enemies look like Zarok's warriors from the intro, while others -presumably the Gallowmere warriors- do not.
  • His own undead status allowed him a much more Attack! Attack! Attack! type of fighting, being much hardier than he was when he was alive, plus, it is implied by dialogue that he wasn't rejected from the Hall of Heroes for being a wimp, more the undue praise he got, seeing as Zarok was still alive, the cutscene of the battle shows he was anything but a wimp, he may have fallen in the first charge, but remember, that was because he was leading said charge, and from the front line too! Plus most of the heroes in the Hall, aren't outright mocking him, only a couple of them have bad things to say, most just help him out, only the gargoyles really give him a hard time.
• In the opening cutscene, it looks like the Sleeping Village is right next to the graveyard's entrance in the second level. Yet on the map, the village is kinda far from the graveyard?
• Why is Jack of the Green listed as one of the "friendlies" in the PS4 remake? Considering he would only let Dan out of his maze if the undead knight solved puzzles based on his riddles, and he grew increasingly annoyed with each puzzle he solved, Jack would arguably count as more of a boss character, at least in the same sense that the dragon bird is.
  • Jack mainly just gets annoyed. He still helps Sir Dan and allows him safe passage through the maze.
