Part 2: Cemetery Hill and Zarok
I had no idea you could smash the rocks on the hill for life vials. I mostly brute-force my way to the top.Some more concept art:
Cemetery Hill Design Drawing
You might notice that the secret steps (Point #3) is located exactly where the player spawns. Not sure what the developers intended to do with that secret area, but it's not there in the final product. Though there is a tutorial book there that talks about smashing stuff with other weapons which I assume is a remnant of this drawing.
Zarok
"Zarok the Wizard. I imagined as an evil puppet. In the game he was voiced by Paul Darrow of Blakes 7 fame and he loved the chance to really camp it up as a villain."
