Discus

A few sounds of blades retracting or coming out of something are present in the Episode 2 sound files. Based on the "discus" in each of their names, it seems the blades on the Discus of Daedalus would be able to retract and come out of the discus at one time. This would've been a neat visual effect, if kept.

Minotaur

• Idle sound.

• Walking sound.

Episode 3

Dwarf

Dwarves never speak English, like they do in these unused sounds.

Track	Transcript
	Some of the villagers think that the king has gone mad.
	Some of the villagers think that the king has gone mad. That’s absolute rubbish. He may be acting a bit strangely, but that’s only because he’s still grief stricken from the death of his family. However odd his behavior, he’s still our sovereign and his word is law!
	Over there! Aren’t those the evil sorcerers who brought the plague to our village? Don’t let them get away!
	Destroy them!
	Spawns of the devil! You won’t be scoffing at our size after we rip out your hearts!
	Death to the strangers!

Fletcher

The Fletcher has a ton of unused "player spotted" sounds. MP3 versions of these sounds can be found in the game's files as well, and show that some of the unused sight sounds are actually made splitting up a single voice clip into two different ones.

Unused Sight Sounds

	Curse you and your dark magic! I’ll see you in hell!
	Prepare to die, invaders!
	Don't let up!
	Show them no mercy!
	Whatever happens, we’ve got to hold them at bay!
	These strangers are harbingers of evil!
	Attack!

King Gharroth

These sound like they might've been used when fighting him.

Track	Transcript
	It’s bad enough that you killed my family. I won’t let you destroy my kingdom, too!
	Your devil’s sorcery is strong, but mine is stronger!
	What’s the matter? Have your dark gods forsaken you?
	Back! I won’t yield to your kind!
	At last! Vengeance is mine!
	May as well surrender, villain; there is nowhere to hide from my wrath!
	By all I hold holy, I swear I will strike you down and send you back to whatever hell you were spawned from!
	You are agents of hell and must be put to death!
	Stop trying to confuse me with your devil’s tongue. I won’t give in to your lies!

Stavros

The first quote is quite interesting, as it hints that the player was supposed to defeat Wyndrax before fighting Stavros. In the final game, the opposite occurs.

Track	Transcript
	Nharre’s very angry with you for what you did to poor brother Wyndrax. So am I, for that matter. And I’m going to make sure that your deaths are particularly painful!
	Give it up! You don’t stand a chance against the forces of hell!
	I’ve had it up to here with your pitiful displays of bravado. Time for you to die!

Misc

Boss Death

A set of seven sounds named "bossdeathx", present in the global folder. All of them sound like various instruments suddenly stopping, so it's possible these were intended for when you died in a boss fight, or a boss died. They can be downloaded below:
