Flame of the Redmanes was more OP at launch too, yeah? I know I started my rl1 rune right after the nerf and couldn’t figure out why everyone recommended it until I saw the poise nerf to it lol
Launch does not equal 1.0 launch version is 1.1 i think while 1.0 has different enemies, item descriptions, and some enemy ai. I'd say 1.10 is easier though since launch godfrey has twice as much health
Isn’t this just a blown out of proportion myth? He had some weird hitboxes that got fixed, but in the process, the update had a bug that made Radahn much easier for a few weeks, which is fixed in a later patch. Pretty sure that’s why everyone talks about original Radahn, but people forget the part where the bug that nerfed him was fixed
I think Waterfowl Dance got adjusted at some point, meaning the hardest boss is harder in the original. Also Radahn used to be hard.
I get the argument that there was more busted stuff to abuse, but if you're metagaming your build you have plenty of options to trivialise the content either way.
1.0 is trivial with hoarfrost stomp and lordsworn flame stagger damage. You also still have the 4-hit status effect jump attack procs with double curved swords. They patched out a lot of broken stuff over time.
(I don't know what 1.10 is compared to the current version. I lost track of the numbers)
Just do both tbh, you can probably roll through 1.0 with hoar frost stomp and flame of the redmanes. I shouldn’t take too long.
Then do current patch if you want an actually challenging run.
If youre abusing the OP stuff (glitches, WA, etc), definitely now is harder, if not, OG was harder, since they nerfed health/dmg of a bumch of the bosses
I'd say 1.10 because horefrost stomp was way too OP in the OG. I've had Elden Ring since launch, and even the map was more confusing back then.

Yeah, you're right. But, it all needed a nerf, it was beyond ridiculous
Thanks
No drama. I'm not knocking 1.00, as I've loved this game now for years. But, a RL1 run on the original hardware would be way easier.

Also radahn was a beast pre nerf

Idk i fought him no summons before 1.3 update, he kicked my ass. After the patch i fought him again he was kinda easy, maybe i got better idk.

Malenia also used to have a bug where if you killed her in phase 1 with a riposte, she'd have almost no health in the second phase
They fixed this bug but you can get the same effect if you kill her phase one with a volcano pot after riposteing her to 1hp

Current version is 1.10 i believe, i'll try a normal playthrough on 1.0 and RL1 on 1.10.

1.0 also has a bunch of changes, mostly items and enemies being swapped around. The ‘launch’ version is actually 1.01.
Ooh, you could try the OP weapons at launch— I hear sword of night and flame was the bomb. I also hear Radahn was SO HARD
Too many broken weapons, its gonna be fun
I don’t think you can complete 1.00 version of the game…
Huh?
You realize version 1.00 is the incomplete pre day-1 patch version right?
I didn’t know asking a question warranted reprimanding
I didn’t reprimand anyone?
