This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Proto:Diablo (Windows, Mac OS Classic).
The Prerelease Demo was released in August of 1996. It was sent out to various games journalists. It features basically all of the same content as the Shareware Demo - the Warrior class, the first level of the dungeon, the Butcher quest, and that's it. Despite that, it seems that Blizzard North left in the majority of the game's code, and only disabled the ability to access more content. By hacking the executable, you can enable all four levels of the cathedral, and even unlock the Skeleton King and Magic Rock quests, as well as the other character classes (the Rogue and the Sorcerer). Unfortunately, they are rather unfinished, and the game will frequently crash if you try to do this, as it is attempting to load content that just doesn't exist.
Even though the final release was mere months away, a lot of the game's elements changed, including most of the menus. A cursory look at the game's executable reveals that major refactors were undertaken at some point between this release and the final, including a complete change in graphics format, and pretty much all of the multiplayer code. None of the game's systems appear to be designed for multiplayer at all at this point, which is rather remarkable, but not all that surprising, given the limitations to multiplayer that exist in the final game.
Differences from the Retail Game
The demo itself is limited to one level of the dungeon, town, and the Butcher quest. However, the game's code at this point in time reflects a pretty complete snapshot of the game's state at that particular point in development history. Most of the monsters are defined, and so are all of the items. Likewise, most of the atlassed graphics (such as item cels) are present, but the player might not see all of the graphics in that atlas. For the sake of this article, only the differences between the base game and the prototype are outlined here, even if the content itself is unreachable without hacks. For content that is not reachable within the demo, but doesn't exist in the final game, see above.
User Interface#
Immediately when booting up the game, the player is prompted with a quotes screen (containing various messages about the game from different publications). In the final game, this is replaced with a fairly standard trademark screen.
|
Prototype |
Final |
|---|---|
|
|
The main menu has fewer options in the prototype than in the final, and has a different version displayed. It also seems to have a different background.
|
Prototype |
Final |
|---|---|
|
|
In the prototype, only the class names are visible for selection. Only the Warrior is able to be selected in this version. In the final, there are portraits for each individual character class as well as their starting attributes.

|
Upon exiting the game, the player is given a slideshow of details about the game, including some screenshots.
The main HUD is completely different:
|
Prototype |
Final |
|---|---|
|
|
The main addition here is the inclusion of an "active item", visible on the left side of the screen. Unlike the final which has a scroll/potion hotbar, the active item has to be selected just like a spell, with a speedbar. To use the item, either right click on the button or press the ENTER key. Additionally, the spellbook is absent and the quest log is selected from within the character menu.

Prototype |

|
|
In the prototype, the character screen is on the right side and the inventory is on the left side. In the final game, this is reversed.
Items#
NOTE: Any item property listed with (NW) is listed that way by the game, not as a note here. It was probably meant to indicate to the player that another ability was meant to be there.
The prototype is a bit more stingy in terms of starting equipment:

Mundane Items#
Amulets don't exist in the prototype, but there is an inventory slot for them.

Unique Items#
All unique items in the prototype (with two exceptions) have the same inventory icon as their non-unique counterparts. In the final version of the game, all of the unique items have their own inventory graphics.
Any item not listed in the table does not exist in this prototype. Thinking Cap has no difference between the prototype and the final game, so it has been excluded.

1 - In the final game, items with this prefix must spawn with a suffix as well. In the prototype, no such restriction exists.
2 - The attack speed listed on this suffix is reduced by 10% in the game's calculations. As a result, the "of Readiness" suffix does nothing but increase the price of the item.
Tristram#
The town itself is quite different. For starters, Pepin, Wirt, Cain, Gillian and Farnham are all absent.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the cows can't be interacted with.

Summary#
The table below is a brief summary of statistics for all spells in the game.
Most spells in the prototype have a minimum required Mana of 0, meaning with enough books acquired and a high enough Magic stat, any spell can be free to cast. Note though that without hacking the prototype it is impossible to descend past level 1 and acquire books, staves, or scrolls that give access to these spells. Regardless, they are mostly complete, minus a few bugs. Likewise, since only the Warrior character class is available in the prototype, Trap Disarm and Staff Recharge aren't available, but they still work exactly as they do in the final.
There are six spells that cannot be acquired in the retail game, but are accessible in the prototype: Doom Serpents, Blood Ritual, Invisibility, Sentinal, Blood Boil, and Etherealize. There are nine spells that are in the final game, but aren't present in this prototype: Elemental, Charged Bolt, Holy Bolt, Resurrect, Telekinesis, Heal Other, Blood Star, and Bone Spirit.

Doom Serpents#
Doom Serpents fires a set of homing missiles that attack Animal enemies. It appears to be quite bugged however; while the missiles will home in on non-animal enemies, they won't actually hit unless the target is an animal, and instead will linger about a tile away from the target. As a result, it's fairly easy to fill the screen with sprites and cause a game crash. Also, while you can cast this spell without there being any enemies onscreen, doing so will drain Mana and won't spawn any serpents.
The graphics for this spell are still present in the final game, but remain unused.
Blood Ritual#
Blood Ritual exchanges 10 Life for 8 Mana. Each level of Blood Ritual gives you another point of Mana. This spell was probably removed from the final game because it is possible to combine this spell and Healing to get unlimited Life and Mana.
Invisibility#
This spell seems to be intended to cause the player to go invisible and be unseen by monsters, but it just casts Stone Curse instead. Notably, this prototype has a bug in that Stone Curse will cause the game to crash if a missile passes over a Stone Cursed monster.
Sentinal#
This spell summons a lidless eye that shoots fire bolts at nearby enemies. It was probably removed because of how similar it is to Guardian.
Blood Boil#
Blood Boil instantly kills the targeted monster. It costs 10 Mana to cast, and each level of Blood Boil reduces the cost by 2 Mana. Additionally, it damages the player for 100% of the monster's maximum hitpoints, reduced by 12.5% per spell level. (So for example, if casting a Level 2 Blood Boil on a monster, this deals 75% of its maximum hitpoints to you as damage.) It's quite bugged though for a number of reasons:
- There is no maximum amount of damage that can be done to the player, nor is there any limit on the spell's range. In the most extreme circumstances, you can be dealt 1250 damage (and almost certainly die) by using a Level 1 Blood Boil on Diablo regardless of how far you are away from him.
- There is likewise no minimum amount of damage that can be done to the player. Past level 8, you will actually gain health by casting this spell, and going above your maximum hitpoints will crash the game.
Etherealize#
This spell completely absorbs all incoming damage for a brief period of time. Given that this is a very powerful spell, it is only available on staves.
Monsters#
If the monster is not listed here, it has not changed between the prototype and the final.

The Mystic Shrine uses a highly convoluted formula to determine how much experience the player should be given. It roughly equates to this:
dlvl * 1000 * (1 + 0.1(dlvl - clvl)) - ((sign(2 * (clvl - dlvl + 1) - 13) + 1) * 0.5 + round(0.5 / round(0.1 * (clvl - dlvl + 5))) - 1)Where:
- dlvl = The current dungeon level.
- clvl = The character level.
A perhaps unintended consequence of this formula is that the player can actually gain negative experience if they are too high of a level relative to the dungeon level. For example, if you are level 21 in the first level of the dungeon, you'll lose 1000 experience, but if you are level 1, you'll gain 1000 experience. You don't lose any levels though if you lose experience, just the experience itself.
On top of this effect, it also reduces the player's current gold to 1 gold piece. (If you have no gold at all, you gain one gold piece.) The amount of gold that is removed from the player's inventory has no bearing on how much experience the player gets in exchange.

The level cap in the prototype is 31. The level cap in the final game is 50. The experience table follows the same rough trend in this version as it does in the final, although you need considerably less experience to reach the maximum level in the prototype than you do in the final (202,960,795 experience vs 1,310,707,109).
Unlike the final game, holding down the mouse button has no effect. In this version, you have to click every single time you want to move somewhere, which gets annoying rather quickly.
Debug Modes
Cheat Mode#
By setting the 32-bit value at DIABLO.EXE+0x004BC168 to a non-zero value, a cheat mode is activated. It has the following effects:
- You cannot be hit
- You have infinite mana
- You always hit monsters and kill them in one hit
- All drops are magic or unique
It also activates the following controls:
- F5: Teleport to the starting house in town
- F6: Teleport to level 1
- F7: Teleport to level 5
- F8: Teleport to level 9
- *: Gain a level.
- Shift: When held, moving the mouse cursor near the edges of the screen allows you to scroll the camera, similar to RTSes and simulation games
- L: Toggle lighting
- T: Shows the (x,y) coordinates on the control panel
- D: Show transval value on control panel
- M: Show invisible value on control panel
- B: Increase current spell level by 1.
This cheat mode has a few similarities to the "do-everything-cheat" that is mentioned in the source code for Hellfire, but is actually rather different.

By setting the 32-bit value at DIABLO.EXE+0x004BC158 to a non-zero value, a developer debug mode is activated. This does the following:
- The game starts in the cathedral at level 1.
- All monsters are Corpse Axes (except in quest areas such as the Poisoned Water Supply and The Butcher)
- Dungeon seeds are set to the value of the dungeon level. For example, dungeon level 1 is generated at seed 1, dungeon level 2 is generated at seed 2, and so on. This leads to consistent level generation.
- A "Cheats" option is added to the game menu. Holding CTRL+SHIFT while clicking allows the player to toggle it on.
This unlocks additional controls:
- F4: Shows FPS on the control panel
- E: Shows eflag on the control panel
- P: Pauses the game. Pressing again will advance the game by another frame. There is no way to unpause the game after pressing this.
When cheats are turned on in the menu, all of the effects described in the Cheat Mode (above) are active. Additionally, turning on cheats will give the player access to all spells in the game at Level 0. Finally, while cheats are on, all quests will be visible in the quest log, including one called "The Maze", which is present in the final game's code, but isn't accessible.
