Arc/Chapter 2: Hel
Enemies Introduced: Helspawn (aka Zombies, aka The Dishonored Ones, aka Fallen Warriors, their proper names are Helspawns so that's what I will be referring to them as)
Items Introduced: Lesser Runes (Fill up a portion of Rune Power)

Playing the ORIGINAL retail release of Rune, not Rune Gold (same thing, but with more MP features) or Rune Classic (quite a bit of changes, separate walkthrough will be made after this one as well as Viking Warlord.)
DX10 Renderer was used to have a higher resolution and fix the brightness, which is completely broken on modern OS with nearly all Unreal Engine games. The brightness seen here is how the game is meant to look according to old screenshots, footage, and articles.
Difficulty: Medium|

This is the first level that you're introduced to the Rune system, and you can fill up your Rune Power bar in this level alone if you find all of them.
USE THEM! I mean don't overuse them, but there's plenty of lesser runes to find throughout the coming levels, so don't feel afraid to use your rune powers from time to time.

Lesser Runes:
Rune 01 - 1:18
Rune 02 - 5:04
Rune 03 & 04 - 6:01

Important Parts:
3:54 - "Hidden" area
4:38 - Chain to climb that's hard to see when brightness doesn't work.
6:05 - Helspawn mini arena
