The exact effects of difficulty levels on the game are unknown, but they do not seem to change the [[#Points|points]] earned for killing enemies or the amount of damage that [[#Weapons|weapons]] deal to them. However, the game does check the current difficulty whenever an enemy is first loaded in, so it is likely it has some effect on them.<ref name="df">Original research by [[User:DansFriend|Dan's Friend]].</ref>

[[File:MediEvilRollingDemo-TitleLevelDifficulty.png|right]] [[File:MediEvilRollingDemo-TitleLevelNormal.png|right]] An additional reference to "difficulty" can be found in the [[Title Level]] [[VLO]] which contains a texture featuring the word. Another texture is of the word "normal", which may be the name of the default difficulty level. Whatever the case, it is likely difficulty levels would have been adjustable from the Title Level.

Although no [[FMV]]s are included with the demo, there are several references to them inside [[MEDIEVIL.EXE]]:

[[The Graveyard (Rolling Demo)|The Graveyard]], [[The Desecrated Church]], [[The Scarecrow Fields]], [[The Ant Caves (Rolling Demo)|The Ant Caves]], [[Pumpkin Gorge (Rolling Demo)|Pumpkin Gorge]], [[The Sleeping Village (Rolling Demo)|The Sleeping Village]], [[Pools Of The Ancient Dead (Rolling Demo)|Pools Of The Ancient Dead]], [[The Asylum Grounds (Rolling Demo)|The Asylum Grounds]], [[The Haunted Ruins (Rolling Demo)|The Haunted Ruins]] and [[The Ghost Ship (Rolling Demo)|The Ghost Ship]]. However, references to more levels than this can be found in the demo. Starting at offset '''0x8E00C''' in [[MEDIEVIL.EXE]] is a numbered list of levels (left). An updated, unnumbered revision of this list also appears in later versions of the game, including the final one (right).

[[File:MediEvilRollingDemo-EnergyBone.PNG|50px|right]] Dan's energy is represented by glowing green bones known as '''Energy Bones'''. These were replaced by [[Energy Vials]] and [[Fountains of Rejuvenation]] in the final game, while the '''Energy Counter''', which keeps track of the bones, was replaced by the [[Life Bar]].

At the beginning of the game, Dan will have three Energy Bones. More Energy Bones can be found in the environment or dropped by enemies, especially the final enemy in a wave of enemies.  

Losing all Energy Bones will cause Dan to lose a Life. A single Energy Bone is lost when Dan sustains damage from an enemy attack. If Dan suffers a fatal event, such as falling or drowning, then he will lose a Life and his bones will be reset to three.  

|description=Although the potion has no effect in the ''Rolling Demo'', it is likely it would have served to transform Dan into [[Dragon Dan]]. The potion cannot be found in any of the ''Rolling Demo's'' levels, but can be accessed via hacking.<ref name="sspotions">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NdiBXWguMw Original research into unused entities and potions] by [https://twitter.com/rsolidsnake11 SolidSnake11].</ref> The potion's effect was repurposed for the [[Dragon Armour]], and the model was eventually superseded by the Serpent Potion.}}

|description=It is likely that this potion would have made Dan shrink. However, it appears to have no effect in the ''Rolling Demo'' and cannot be found in any of its levels.<ref name="sspotions"/> Dan is shrunk by the [[Forest Witch]] in the final game.}}
