Groobo, since your like my MediEvil buddy here :P.. I'm sure this is something you'll be interested in looking at, though others can put in there opinions as well.

And I'll put the description here:
Alright, so I'm messing around with this level a lot, and I'm finding that you can get on the block at 0:22 .. But I'm finding that its possible to go further, I've done tricked the game into thinking I'm in a non out of bounds area (if you die in oob you automatically go back into the level), even though I really am! So, if I could get a little bit higher, I could possible make the game into thinking that I'm on the bridge, which means I can skip the Sleeping Village Level completely! We don't need the shadow artifact anyway so this is definitely worth looking into.
-> If you want a better picture of where I'm at (you HAVE to use the camera cheat to look properly at this).

So i'll keep messing with it, and if I get any other info, i'll post back.
Edit: I got onto the bridge, which was what i was wanting, but I DON'T want to be like in the middle of it :p, i want to be behind the wooden door where the exit trigger is xD, so I made myself clear!
More edits: I've found ways to make the emulator crash and the game freeze with messing with values by doing things like:
Make the music mute by imitating the cutscene that you usually see when you are about to normally finish this level, like against the guards at the exit trigger (Do this outside the bridge, so that you can kill yourself to get back into the levels boundaries). Then reenter the levels boundaries obviously :p, now enter the mayor's house and activate the switch to open the gate where the bridge is... After doing this, the game will start doing crazy things like:
- freezing
- crashing the emulator
- making Dan move extremely slow
- Houses sometimes freeze, sometimes they don't, when you enter them.
- Talking to a gargoyle causes a crash.
- Dying in anyway causes a crash.
- Trying to pause the game results in a freeze. (Inventory not affected)
- Jumping over water causes a freeze.
- Hitting a switch (whether already activated or not), causes a freeze.
- Walking around the center area where the fountain is causes freezes randomly.
- Reading books causes a crash.
- Turning the camera can sometimes cause a crash.
I'm not 100% sure if this is only my computer's doing, it may be, but considering it's done this numerous times (testing it), I'm sure its either an emulator flaw or a crashing glitch.
