Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (Black Plague 100%) Walkthrough (E4M5: Great Stair)
This is a commentated playthrough of the game Heretic by Raven Software on the Black Plague Possesses Thee Difficulty for the PC, played through the GZDoom sourceport. All of the levels will be played with a wand start, and all the kills and secrets will be demonstrated. In this video, I play the fifth level of the fourth episode - Great Stair.
I kinda neglected to mention the green key is where the ophidian is with the lift that has the mystic urn on it. Just in case you were wondering where I got that! Also in retrospect I realize the REAL Great Stair was probably in the area with the Maulotaur and the Disciples, which makes more sense than those two stairways! Try to count how many times I say 'Weredragon' in this video.
For those wondering, the Firemace can be randomly found in these locations on the map:
* In the non-official secret with the purple banner and the weredragon near the yellow door.
* In the northeast corner of the yellow key hall.
* In front of the switch that controls the platform of the green key.
* On the southern side of the green door.
* In the exit chamber.
MODS USED (All of these shouldn't affect gameplay too much, aside from the first one):
https://github.com/mmaulwurff/idclever-starter (idclever-starter, forces a pistol/wand start in every level - should be compatible with many Doom engine games and mods)

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=36713 (Heretic Sprite Fixing Project, fixes some minor issues with sprites)
