Unused Music#

This game has a bunch of unused tracks, many of which are remixes of used ones. Using the GameShark code 8008FCC1 00??, one can play a desired song by replacing the question marks with the values below that are in bold and parentheses.

Unused Maps#

Several unused maps were left in the game, including two that were meant to be part of the World of Mammon.

World of Mammon Monastery#

This map is a copy of the Melrode Monastery outdoors map but with the World of Mammon's creepy atmosphere applied to it. It would seem that prior to creating the concept of the "Floating Monastery" which exists in the final game, the developers simply copied over the original monastery exterior and adjusted the scenery to place it within the World of Mammon environment. The door to the Monastery leads to one of the forest areas in the World of Mammon.

This map can be accessed with the following GameShark codes:

80084EEF 0004

World of Mammon Windmills#

These maps are similar to the interiors of the Normoon windmills except they were given a World of Mammon makeover as well. These maps feature different geometry from the final windmills, which suggests that prior to release, this is what the windmills in Normoon looked like (except without the World of Mammon lighting). These maps also don't have any collision data or doors and play the music for being indoors.

These two maps can be accessed with the following GameShark codes:

Windmill 1

Windmill 2

Celtland Map#

This map is completely empty except for a model of a map of Celtland floating in space. This is an early version of the map model that can be found in Brannoch Castle. This map can be accessed with the following GameShark codes:

80084EEF 001E

Unused Text#

Two unused strings of text are found stranded at the following addresses. These do not appear anywhere in the game, and the escape text has incorrect grammar in it. The pictures show the Grand Abbott's text modified to show the unused text in-game.

Unused Japanese Text#

Present in the English ROM starting at address 0x00D4B3C0 are the Japanese spell names. No other Japanese text appears in this ROM.

Unused Characters#

Dorey Lean#

A blue-haired man with an egotistical look who appears to be wearing a knight's armor. This character had official artwork that was featured in numerous previews in magazines and was even given a name, Dorey Lean (ドルレイ・リーン) and some biographical information, but he ultimately never appeared in the final retail game. Despite going unused, his assets remain in the final game, with his model data found starting at 0x9C24B8. Using a memory editor, Dorey's model and animations can be loaded into the final game. He has an idle animation and a walking animation.

]]

Ham#

A portly character with a somewhat sinister, pig-like appearance. Unlike Dorey Lean, Ham never had any information or artwork revealed. His would-be name of "Ham" and possible role as a companion to Dorey are assumed based on the Quest 64 Game Boy Color demake Quest: Brian's Journey which features 2D sprite NPCs of both Dorey as well as an NPC named Ham which looks remarkably similar to this unused 3D model from Quest 64. Though this character ultimately was unused in the final version of Quest 64, his assets remain in the final game, with his model data found starting at 0x9C50D8. Using a memory editor, Ham's model and animations can be loaded into the final game. He has an idle animation and a walking animation.
