hello people I bought an n64 like a week ago and a copy of hexen everytime I placed in a controller pak it says that there isn’t one, I dont think it’s the controller pak maybe it’s the controller?

Heretic, HeXen, HeXen II or Heretic II?

I played Hexen in the late 90s, i was like 12 years old. That game had no help what so ever and was spooky as heck. It wasnt linear, you find one key that opens a cave in a completely different area. For anyone that knows this game, feel blessed to be a part of an iconic experience

Hello,

I am trying to create my own levels in Hexen, and I was wondering which engine is best for doing that? (doomsday, GZdoom, other?)

I thought it would at least be a bit better. The menu and remastered music set the tone and then I got to winnowing hall. Same old same old. I didn’t pay much but you can get WAAAAAY more out of the Doomsday Engine and a few mods/addons for graphics than you ever could with this “definitive edition”. Straight garbage.

Heya, just letting those who have not updated the game yet know that the aiming bug on the Switch version is now fixed, so no more slowly aiming towards the ceiling while vertical aiming is disabled.

Played Hexen a lot (no remaster, sorry) but on skill level 3, decided to skip the “just more monsters” skill 4 (don’t think that changes things too significantly, you get a lot of resources, so quaffing a few more flasks and such is no problem) and went to skill 5.

First, fighting chaos serpents with the axe now feels almost impossible without taking huge damage unless you can cheese them around a corner, and wendigos are also insane now. Fast monsters make much less difference for the others so far, except for these two.

But even if I were playing as cleric and had the staff… WTF are you supposed to do on skill 5 against that one wendigo ambush when you’re going for the secret level? After some failed attempts I killed the first three, waited until the walls began to lower (to trigger the scripts) and then high-tailed out of there with a chaos device and… that seems to be the only survivable option?? I tried running into that one alcove, but it barely helps — could’ve probably done it that one time by quaffing most or all of my healing potions, but I was a bit too slow, and then other times I wasn’t even close.

I get that fast monsters is like an “extra”, but is there a strategy I’m missing or is this ambush just really that stupid crazy on skill 5?

Sorry if someone else already posted this questions, but with so many topics I couldn’t find the answers.

I’ve done the game back-to-back and I am a little fatigued by it. Because this is the last trophy I need I don’t feel like playing anymore.

1 – To do the whole 3 controllers thing, do I need to take all 3 characters to the end of the level or just 1?

2 – can I use the cheats? Because I def would need “God Mode” to keep the other characters alive… Also, it would be very fast to just use “No Clipping”

3 – Which level is the shortest that could be used to do this trophy?

Thank you all that can help 🙂
