    Previous demo MediEvil Japanese Demo

    The MediEvil Dengeki Demo is a demo version of MediEvil released exclusively in Japan on August 20, 1999. The demo has only one known release: Dengeki PlayStation D21 SCE Special released with Dengeki PlayStation D Vol. 114.[1] Files on the disc suggest that the demo finished development around May 14, 1999, making it two days newer than the full Japanese version of the game.

    Gameplay

    The demo only contains two levels, much like the other Japanese Demo. However, this demo version is unique; it is comprised of The Haunted Ruins and The Ghost Ship levels.

    Starting equipment

    Dan begins the demo with the Small Sword equipped. He also has an unenchanted (0%) Broad Sword, the Magic Sword, a Club, the Hammer, 100 Throwing Daggers, the Axe, the Crossbow with 150 bolts, the Longbow, Flaming Longbow, and Magic Longbow with 100 arrows each,[a] and 30 Spears in his inventory. This means Dan must have collected 15 Chalices by this point, meaning he missed one Chalice.

    Additionally, Dan has no gold and only three Life Bottles.

    Notes

    1. It is worth noting that it is normally impossible for Dan to carry 100 magic arrows due to the maximum capacity for those being 50.
