Not surprised they took the purple flames off of Maliketh's attacks. There's a whole video out there about color theory in ER, but the ultra-short version is that the colors of things in this world matter, and purple tends to be more associated with space stuff (Radahn's gravity magic, Astel's attacks, etc.). So from a concept level the purple could be considered a mismatch with the Destined Death attacks. Won't deny it still looks pretty darn cool though.
15:49 I actually really like Morgott dropping Marika's Scarseal, like he's still holding onto a piece of his mother despite how she mistreated him. Really represents his whole deal
I believe he has the same amount of hp, it’s just a matter of presentation. Also bosses with 2 health bar dies between the 2 phases, there was no reason for him to have a second one
In the day one rivers of blood scaled with faith instead of arcane and it was godly, the mimic tear also would use flasks so it could literally solo bosses.
Is Rivers of blood still good? And is the mimic tear still as good as it used to be before the nerf? Cos I've seen clips of it and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good. Or maybe it was just too op before.
Rivers of blood is still OP, scales with Arcane instead now tho. Mimic Tear is still OP but nowhere NEAR AS OP as it used to be. If you have a good build, the mimic tear will be good too.@@anonisnoone6125

Actually. I bought elden ring disc day 1. When doing so I lived on a sailboat and could not update the game. For the first 6 months. After watching 2 or 3 guide videos. I knew I was screwed due to version 1.0. It was super fun but really like a randomizer run.
Yeah I remember wanting to get the trumpet and it said it was at the city and I was confused as hell. Eventually updated the game and all the imps became oracles.
“Now, do you understand?”I feel like this should’ve stayed. It makes more sense in terms of the fight, before the fight starts she tells you to listen to her and that she’s never known defeat. You still challenge her and she beats you, so her asking if you understand now fits
Fun fact you might've missed: From what I've heard, Margit's cutscene in the first version of ER was different. His sword was burning in one scene. They got rid of it, because it contradicted the lore, where fire is considered "heretical" and Margit was with Golden Order or whatever
That one wasn't just in 1.0, they only removed that like 1 or 2 patches after release, because I remember thinking it was cool as shit on my first play-through. I get why they removed it, but I'm still sort of bummed out about it.
I don't think I've ever seen a single-player game change this drastically so soon after the full release. I could more understand if there were large changes over the course of many smaller patches, but for this much to be changed basically from day 1 is crazy.
@AdoreYouInAshXI I know the day 1 patch is the reason why the number of people who personally saw this version of the game at launch is relatively small. That doesn't go against my initial comment, though. I still have never seen a copy of a game that is this different from just a day one patch. This is basically a beta build of a AAA game that it publicly accessible on the retail copy, and is what some people were stuck with if they didn't have internet at launch.
Interesting how a lot of the stuff from the network test was only chanced on the day 1 patch. The UI, the Night's Cavalry not having a health bar, Margit having Malenia's soundtrack... Very surprising Edit: Correction, a lot of the network test stuff was patched a day before the game was released.
This is not how people experienced the game. The full version starts with patch 1.02, which came out one day before release. I'd guess a comparison to 1.02 would show far fewer discrepancies.
The unpatched version of the game is not meant to be the release version at all. This was clearly a pretty unfinished version of the game. 1.02 changes were clearly not made after the game was released.
Don't confuse the timelines of patch releases with the times it took to make them. When the network test was ongoing, they pretty much had v1.01 (Day 0 patch) ready and were readying v1.02 (Day 1 patch) for release. Everybody played v1.02 on release. The network test was purposefully using an outdated, but stable, version of the game for testing.
I was falling asleep to this video really late at night and i suddenly woke up right at 33:58 and i was trying so hard to make out what "BEAST PASTA" meant with my tired brain
Dude- I’m so glad someone has finally made a video on this. I got the game day one and never updated it because of my terrible internet. I only realized that I was basically playing the game on hard mode when I beat the dragonic tree sentinel and my game wouldn’t let me past the door behind him without me updating the game.

When I’m looking things up online there are sooo many things that don’t match up from what I’m told online to what my game actually says. Things like cookbook locations, names of locations and all sorts of items, and even damage type for specific weapons is different. It was a bit annoying trying to navigate with differences.
I concur. Basically no info or guides for the 1.00 version online. But BertoPlease has at least pointed out some stuff here on YT, If you are interrested.
No zweihander. No greatsword. Bunch of empty chest. Rare stonesword keys. I hope you beat the game like that. I did. Had to update and run around to get all the stuff that spawned in before I went to ng.
Reason sword of night and flame didnt work on first 2 bosses is because with the wolf as you recognized it has magic res and tree avatar was putrid so.... Fire is the weakness lol I had to actually shake my head a little Also it didn't work against radahn cuz that was when he was "too unfair" Also yea the original plan was for the dudes you saw at lake of rots temple to be all over the area there. But ultimately that never happened and the rotted version was removed
There's a couple of really funky music changes in here that you didn't mention in the vid. In the final game Niall uses Old Warriors. In this he uses Grave Wardens (generic catacombs boss music). I would've called that out as a likely placeholder for non-remembrance (or just non-main story) bosses, but then Astel for some reason has Erdtree Knights? Maybe Astel's considered closer to a world boss, and that's a placeholder for those? Also Gideon has Godfrey's music, for some reason. Also I'm pretty sure Astel's meteors aren't orange in the final game. Also Placi's big spear attack not only didn't stop the music, it also lacked it's unique sound effects and AoE display.
The vfx of Astel’s meteors appearing was also different too, and I think his teleport might’ve had a slightly shorter animation, but it’s hard to tell. Also was the overworld Margit outside of Leyndell playing the dragon theme?
The reason magma wyrm Makar is called Makal is likely because in Japanese L and R are very similar and so it could have been a wrong translation or they changed it because makar sounds better
They are not similar, they are identical. They do not have the letter L in Japanese. When speaking words from other languages, they are used interchangeably.
9:59 that move set is also in the game its from D's sword, the inseparable Sword. it can be obtained by completing fia's questline and giving D's armor to his brother.
The banished knight greatsword also has this moveset, but I guess not many people know bout it cuz its like a 4% drop from a "stronger" less common enemy.
The UI in this version is very similar to the UI of the version that streamers played during the public network test that took place a little bit before the game fully came out
Exactly! And they fixed his attack hitboxes because they weren’t good, that’s all, nothing drastic at all, but somehow people ignorantly attributed that to the difficulty of Radahn, his move-set was never that difficult to avoid from, yeah he can beat you a bunch of times, but he’s not Maliketh, Malenia, Morgott, Mohg, Radagon in terms of moveset, never was. Though Radahn is one of my favorite bosses in the Soulsborne series, top 5 even.
@@HeyTarnished yeah. Radahn has a big moveset but if you just dodge behind him and stick there, you can avoid most of it. Still a very fun fight though, probably my fav in the game.
It was the damage numbers that changed, nothing else. Also I’m pretty sure the game released at a slightly later patch, so there were a few things that didn’t make it to the base game. He could have been a bit tougher than he was in this video. But yea pre patch radahn was not a myth.
I wish he was that beast tho. When I fought him he was a little too easy, especially when they give you all the summons. He deserved to be one of those big roadblocks
As a sound designer working in video games... Regarding the audio and music bugs you found in this version - Audio/Music is always last or amongst the last couple of departments to finish their work in any game production, so it makes sense. Games don't fail console certification for incorrect SFX (or bad balancing, progression etc, for that matter), so given that >99% of players will get the Day 1 patch, this final quality and bugfixing work is often pushed into that patch :)
I had played through half the game on 1.0 because I was too lazy connect my PS4 to the internet. After my wife told me I could find a mighty weapon for my build in Limgrave. I searched on the exact spot she told me but I couldn't find anything. The same happened later again with a Weapon supposedly found near the Witch Village. Then I got the idea to update the game and it was a very different and less broken experience since then! It was really funny because some of the Dragons just fell through the floor and died. I couldn't even fight them or get their drops, but at least I got some easy runes. I still miss my farming spot where I could get thousands of Runes without even fighting.
Here's what i found different in this video you probably missed: Prince Morgott uses 1 holy knife instead of the usual 3, Astel rememberence is Rememberence of the Misbegotten, and Black Blade AoW is called Destined Death Unbound. Thanks for making this video
Here’re some more: Astel had the wrong music, Gideon had Godfrey/Hoarah Loux music (yes, both), Loretta in Caria manor was named Guard Loretta, Placidisax’s big nuke attack didn’t have VFX that accurately reflected its range, Malenia’s waterfowl in phase 2 is missing the orange butterfly VFX, the magic glintblades fired by red wolf have a spiral trail behind them instead of a straight one, the second to last strike at the end of Malenia’s waterfowl (the one before the aoe that sends you flying) looked different, Malenia had an extra voice line when killing you in phase 1: “Now do you understand? I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella”, the player seemed to use the death by poke animation even when not dying of poke (not sure about this one, but it seemed like it), and probably more that I missed (I haven’t rewatched it, this is all what I remember from first time through)
so the ragged armor that Gostoc sells at 3:49 seems to be the same armor as Igons from the shadow of the erdtree dlc, you can get it by finishing his questline. not sure if there are any subtle differences or not but the icons are the same, kind of cool that they had this set in the game for so long and just never used it until now
I played the 1.00 version so i can totally agree it's a completely different experience, a lot of Items and broken or missing, bosses were altered, as you pointed out the ui was changed, there's a glitch preventing you from getting further buffs for +25 weapons, the husks had nothing, oh yeah as you saw they moved the 6th obelisk,i missed something UA-cam messed my comment up and i forgot lol, but i could go on and on, they changed a BUNCH, oh yeah her dialogue messes up the first time lmao i had the exact same reaction "what?" Immediately talks to her again.
This was very eye opening for me, since I played the entire playthrough on 1.0 and eventually updated it later on. I was wondering why I couldn't find locations for certain things that were listed online for the patched versions. Also, because I played offline, I had to use the glitch in the snowfields, since I couldn't do Varre's quest to invade other players.
Didn't have any net at home when the game first released, so this was my first playthrough, then i updated it later that year to see what the difference was, alot of different item names, descriptions added etc.
Big H's death laugh was a nice touch. A warrior who had to forsake his true nature given one last blaze of glory from one of his descendants who proved the whole world wrong, that a man could kill a God.
What's interesting about the rot Ancestral Followers is there's still a single Ancestral Follower in the Lake of Rot, holding a poison/rot resistance talisman, but it's a regular Ancestral Follower.
Its ridiculous that its been 2 years. I remember where I was, who I was with, what I was doing, and what my plans for the evening were right before the game unlocked for me on steam. Launch was something beautiful.
I love Maliketh, but I fucking hate the Beast Clergyman phase. I legit wish that he got two health bars because it always feels like he's prime Maliketh for such a short time.
10:26 Damn, that sword with a glintstone pebble was basically my first weapon my first playthrough. I wanted to try melee only, but after starting the game I realized some ranged magic would help me out. That was the only thing I could figure out how to do lmao
Hi, I noticed something about an armour set one of the NPCs sells in 1.0, but not after the day one patch: Gostoc sells the "Ragged" armour in 1.0 but after recently playing the DLC, the armour looks incredibly similar, or is the armour of Igon, I wonder if it was intended or just resued? 😅
So apparently that ragged armor set was actually used as Igon's armor set in the DLC, wonder if they had the character figured out by then or just had the set lying around
I actually really like those original names for smithing stones, normal to hard to golden to polar to ancient dragon, and then if I had to guess somber 9 was colorless. Much better IMO than just numbering them
There's a fun little perk where all the field bosses that don't have a health bar are likely to reappear after the game is patched. Wondering through the snowfields to watch the deathbirds respawn was a treat
Also mimic tear at plus 10 was trash too when u summoned it it was practically dead with low health and summons were more squishy too in 1.00 at least for me 😅

@@HeyTarnished yeah. Radahn has a big moveset but if you just dodge behind him and stick there, you can avoid most of it. Still a very fun fight though, probably my fav in the game.
It was the damage numbers that changed, nothing else. Also I’m pretty sure the game released at a slightly later patch, so there were a few things that didn’t make it to the base game. He could have been a bit tougher than he was in this video.
But yea pre patch radahn was not a myth.
I wish he was that beast tho. When I fought him he was a little too easy, especially when they give you all the summons. He deserved to be one of those big roadblocks
@@HeyTarnishedall them others took 2-3 tries at most, Radahn had me ready to break my controller after 5 hours
As a sound designer working in video games... Regarding the audio and music bugs you found in this version - Audio/Music is always last or amongst the last couple of departments to finish their work in any game production, so it makes sense.
Games don't fail console certification for incorrect SFX (or bad balancing, progression etc, for that matter), so given that >99% of players will get the Day 1 patch, this final quality and bugfixing work is often pushed into that patch :)
Congratulations, your video has been blessed by UA-cam algorithm!
I had played through half the game on 1.0 because I was too lazy connect my PS4 to the internet. After my wife told me I could find a mighty weapon for my build in Limgrave. I searched on the exact spot she told me but I couldn't find anything. The same happened later again with a Weapon supposedly found near the Witch Village. Then I got the idea to update the game and it was a very different and less broken experience since then!
It was really funny because some of the Dragons just fell through the floor and died. I couldn't even fight them or get their drops, but at least I got some easy runes.
I still miss my farming spot where I could get thousands of Runes without even fighting.
Here's what i found different in this video you probably missed:
Prince Morgott uses 1 holy knife instead of the usual 3,
Astel rememberence is Rememberence of the Misbegotten, and Black Blade AoW is called Destined Death Unbound. Thanks for making this video
Very interesting. I noticed the Astel rememberance in the run but ignored it since I already mentioned the name change but didn’t see the other 2
Here’re some more: Astel had the wrong music, Gideon had Godfrey/Hoarah Loux music (yes, both), Loretta in Caria manor was named Guard Loretta, Placidisax’s big nuke attack didn’t have VFX that accurately reflected its range, Malenia’s waterfowl in phase 2 is missing the orange butterfly VFX, the magic glintblades fired by red wolf have a spiral trail behind them instead of a straight one, the second to last strike at the end of Malenia’s waterfowl (the one before the aoe that sends you flying) looked different, Malenia had an extra voice line when killing you in phase 1: “Now do you understand? I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella”, the player seemed to use the death by poke animation even when not dying of poke (not sure about this one, but it seemed like it), and probably more that I missed (I haven’t rewatched it, this is all what I remember from first time through)
His name is Margit the fell also… seems like they added “omen” after the update
so the ragged armor that Gostoc sells at 3:49 seems to be the same armor as Igons from the shadow of the erdtree dlc, you can get it by finishing his questline. not sure if there are any subtle differences or not but the icons are the same, kind of cool that they had this set in the game for so long and just never used it until now
The armor of the biggest chad...
I played the 1.00 version so i can totally agree it's a completely different experience, a lot of Items and broken or missing, bosses were altered, as you pointed out the ui was changed, there's a glitch preventing you from getting further buffs for +25 weapons, the husks had nothing, oh yeah as you saw they moved the 6th obelisk,i missed something UA-cam messed my comment up and i forgot lol, but i could go on and on, they changed a BUNCH, oh yeah her dialogue messes up the first time lmao i had the exact same reaction "what?" Immediately talks to her again.
"Destined Death Unbound" is a cool name change. It makes sense too in the main story.
Wish they kept that in the final release.
you skipped almost everything in leyndell, but it's the most changed area, basically every single enemy is different
yeah, it is weird to make a video solely to highlight the changes but then he just skips whole sections
@@aliq45He has 3k subscribers and this is a stream vod cut up to make highlights, I don’t think it’s a huge issue
@@ayylmaotvcriticism is valid, it IS an issue and a good error to consider avoiding in the future lmao
Post Elden ring DLC who sees that this ragged set from 1.0 is the same set as Iggon’s set in the DLC…. Pretty interesting imo
My favourite Elden ring update: the one where they added the word omen to margit’s title
This was very eye opening for me, since I played the entire playthrough on 1.0 and eventually updated it later on. I was wondering why I couldn't find locations for certain things that were listed online for the patched versions. Also, because I played offline, I had to use the glitch in the snowfields, since I couldn't do Varre's quest to invade other players.
A portal can get ya there. Even in the unpatched version : )
0:51 truer words have never been spoken
My boy didnt know how OP Rennala's Staff back in 1.0
Not in spell buff, no no no. As a weapon.
Igons armour is just the ragged armour, they changed unobtainable armour so you can't drop it but Igon's is also not leavable.
Good to see the ragged armour is used for igon
I just realized that the ragged armor you found is igons armor
Very interesting to see the ragged armor being taken out of 1.0 and being put in as DLC armor
*Malenia's music on almost every boss*
"I am Malenia, Blade of Everyone"
Ragged armor is Igon's armor!
Fun fact: the ancestor spirits in 21:02 and this „waterfowl like“ attack at 32:24 is at the newest convergence mod version 1.4.1 too. Thats cool.
Didn't have any net at home when the game first released, so this was my first playthrough, then i updated it later that year to see what the difference was, alot of different item names, descriptions added etc.
I think the ragged armor from gostoc ends up being igons armor in the DLC after you kill bayle
Very cool showcase! I thought I fever dreamed up some of this stuff but its cool seeing the differences and how much was actually changed!
That ragged outfit looks really good… I want it
My first playthrough was on 1.00 and I still have the armor
@@TheguyfromJurassicpark3 What do you play on? Do you think it would work on Xbox?
I'm on ps4
They actually moved this armor set to the DLC from Igon
Damn who would have thought gostoc sold Igons armour set.
As someone who bought Elden ring, and didn’t update it for a long time, the first version is the one I’m used to
Big H's death laugh was a nice touch. A warrior who had to forsake his true nature given one last blaze of glory from one of his descendants who proved the whole world wrong, that a man could kill a God.
yo is ragged armor igons set in the dlc??
yep just checked lol
10:44 Makal makes sense cause in Japanese the " L " becomes "Ru" which makes it Makaru. But guess they hadn't changed it in translations yet.
that’s Igon’s set!
What's interesting about the rot Ancestral Followers is there's still a single Ancestral Follower in the Lake of Rot, holding a poison/rot resistance talisman, but it's a regular Ancestral Follower.
Coming back from the dlc, and the “ragged armor” became igons set 😂
Its ridiculous that its been 2 years. I remember where I was, who I was with, what I was doing, and what my plans for the evening were right before the game unlocked for me on steam. Launch was something beautiful.
I love Maliketh, but I fucking hate the Beast Clergyman phase. I legit wish that he got two health bars because it always feels like he's prime Maliketh for such a short time.
Banished knights greatsword uses that lordsworn moveset still in current path. It's very good
10:26 Damn, that sword with a glintstone pebble was basically my first weapon my first playthrough. I wanted to try melee only, but after starting the game I realized some ranged magic would help me out. That was the only thing I could figure out how to do lmao
I’m pretty sure the ragged armor is now Igons armor in the dlc
The ragged armor is Igons set in the recently released dlc, pretty sick
Noticed that too. FromSoft is allergic to wasting assets, and I say that with admiration.
I certainly remember having to mark shops and people on my map manually.
You forgot to show the flash bang that was the Bandai logo lmao
Man I wanted to see the Fire Giant falling of the curb cheese and the Blood Mogh climb over the wall!
Hi, I noticed something about an armour set one of the NPCs sells in 1.0, but not after the day one patch:
Gostoc sells the "Ragged" armour in 1.0 but after recently playing the DLC, the armour looks incredibly similar, or is the armour of Igon, I wonder if it was intended or just resued? 😅
4:02 wtf this is Igon’s Armor 🤣🤣
yea it has been in game files for a while along with some other armor that we get in the dlc
Bro igons armour being in the original game is crazy
not really, alot of DLC items were initially planned to be base game content but cut to be added later just like the euporia twinblade
I miss being able to get the smithing bell bearing two in Liurnia
It was such a pointless change. I don't even know where to find those smithing stones.
4:00 CURSE YOU BAYLE
Here from the future to point out that the ragged armor is what they used for Igon’s armor set in the dlc.
3:36 i remember 🤔
So apparently that ragged armor set was actually used as Igon's armor set in the DLC, wonder if they had the character figured out by then or just had the set lying around
Just watched after the DLC released, didn't know Igon's set was in the game at launch 3:49
Tyat leyndell skip allowed you to get a beautiful screenshot without your character in the way
I actually really like those original names for smithing stones, normal to hard to golden to polar to ancient dragon, and then if I had to guess somber 9 was colorless. Much better IMO than just numbering them
LARGE HARD Smithing Stone made me chuckle
Kind of reminds me of "Very Large Ember", but more... suggestive.
38:25 - 4 months after, Fromsoft: "You got it, Sir!"
The ragged armor is igons armor from the dlc now!
I remember back in the earlier versions each of the rune items had a unique name, like the rune [1] was the pauper's rune
So Igon’s armor was originally cut content
There's a fun little perk where all the field bosses that don't have a health bar are likely to reappear after the game is patched. Wondering through the snowfields to watch the deathbirds respawn was a treat
Damn, this vid is popping off on your channel. It's about to get a million views eventually.
Lol, the ragged armor being igons armor is hilarious to me
Fromsoft themselves stated that nerf was accidental and reverted shortly after it happened. Radahn is Radahn.
4:00 that’s igon’s armor in dlc
That’s what I thought, they really couldn’t come up with a unique design
The armor that isn’t on the normal game actually was added on the dlc
Also mimic tear at plus 10 was trash too when u summoned it it was practically dead with low health and summons were more squishy too in 1.00 at least for me 😅
