Heretic + Hexen: Heretic - Faith Renewed (Part 2) - 100% on hardest - Achievements 22/44
1(Links, achievements and secrets at the bottom of the description)
Hello!
I took few days to sidetrack myself with other games and also fixing some structural changes
for my previous videos, that messed them all up into an untidy pile at some unknown point.
There's still work to do on that front, but I decided to finish Heretic off at this point.
In this one:
We get 2 new achievements
We get 1 new weapon
We play brand-new Heretic episode: Faith Renewed
• Maps E1M6, E1M9 and E1M7 - E1M8
_ _ _
Visuals are looking nice for these levels and as a positive note, there doesn't seem to be any issues
with these levels.
• E1M6 is a bit more rough with all the environmental dangers and also at specific points of the level.
Specifically Green Door area harbors traps that you want a fast pair of legs to disarm, whether
you stay inside or keep yourself out of there, until fully clearing the area. Lot of 'trolling' inside!
• E1M9 is one of those levels that isn't going to be it for a lot of people, myself included.
It is a slaughter level, and if you're not familiar with those, it's basically 1v100's of enemies all at once.
Include fast-mode into the mix and the fact, that most of the enemies are projectile-based, so what
you have here, is basically bullet-hell!
Not only that, but there are random spawn spots for specific teleport(s), 3x wind currents,
reproducing gas bags getting intentionally exploded, lava spouts, lava lakes and a ton of infighting
all around you... which means that you're not controlling anything else, but your ability to evade as
much as possible and trying to move at points, where you're least likely to take damage from...
All that, while you're trying to take out the most likely targets to cause damage to you.
My issue is, while it's supposed to be hard, too much of this level relies on just chances.
Oh, and also no Enchanted Shield is given to you. Only 3x Silver Shields.
Also beware of point of no-return, if you want all stats!
(The level looks visually quite good, tho!)
• E1M7 is a large, detailed and good-looking level, but also quite a long one.
Although honestly, I play around too much and the usual item hunt after completion takes time.
Nevertheless, I did like this one probably the most: It has some challenge to it, but it's not unfair.
• E1M8 is mostly just a boss arena with enemies in the mix. Looks good and way less annoying,
than the original arena for the same boss, but also way easier in comparison.

If nothing else comes up, Hexen should be next in line.
See you in the next set of videos!
