Heretic
Walkthrough And Strategy Guide
The Dungeons (E1M2)
 |
 |
You start in a lookout tower. Don't walk down any
of the stairs, rather jump out through the window, then turn left until
you come to a door that isn't marked by any sculptures (as the Yellow
and Green doors in this courtyard are). Open up the doors, one after the
other, until you see a shadowy patch of wall on your right. Open this
secret entrance and get in.

Walk along the secret passage. You'll see a couple
of Undead Warriors who not yet noticed your arrival, and a Tome of Power
behind them. Grab the Tome, activate it and make short work of the Warriors
with your powered up Elvenwand.
Jump down into the room below, then run up the stairs.
At the end of the stairs, turn right, and grab the Crossbow from the alcove.
A new room will open, revealing some Gargoyles. Be aware that as soon
as you step into this new room, another one behind you will open, this
time with Undead Warriors; entering this latter room will reveal a 3rd
one, jammed full with Golems.
Once you got rid of all this nuisance, find the
switch in a small alcove on the opposing side of this area, then grab
the Yellow Key from behind the barrels.

Walk down the stairs that opened when you threw
that switch just a minute ago. At the turn some Golems await you. Once
you pass that point, a wall section will raise to offer you a splendid
view of the courtyard you started in and all the monsters you left there.
Time to finish them off...
In the middle of the lookout tower you can catch
a glimpse of the Dragon Claw. Rush in, but don't grab it yet, rather jump
immediately to the side - the ceiling is a crusher, making pulp of you
if you stand around long enough in the lit area of the room. With good
timing, you can retrieve all godies from this room in 2-3 turns.
Once finished, go to the Yellow Door in the courtyard.
Enter.

There is a secret in this small courtyard, a couple
of steps on the left from the door leading into the next complex. There
is a ShadowSphere in there, guarded by some Gargoyles.
Enter the complex. After a couple of steps, note
the Blue Door on your left. Before you is a pond of poisonous slime, with
an awesome amount of ponds floating over it. With true aim, you can take
out a pod with a shot or two, resulting in a mass explosion that should
take care of the Gargoyles in there as well.

Don't enter the pond yet, but turn right just at
its shore. There is a corridor on your right, jammed full with Undead
Warriors. Put them out of their misery. The corridor looks as a dead end,
but it isn't one. Just push open the wall and walk on. Turn left at the
first corner, turn at the 2nd corner as well but stop. On your right,
there is a secret room with the Gauntlets and a Ring of Invulnerability
(not that you would really need it in this map).
Now continue along the corridor, collecting the
Time Bombs. After the next turn you'll also find a Map Scroll. Prepare
the bombs in your inventory and start back. Between the 1st and 2nd turn,
a new room opens with some Golems. Just run by and drop off some of the
Bombs, if you time it right there will be no more fight.

|
|
 |
|
Time to cross the slime pond. On the other side,
turn left and open the 1st door in the corridor. Don't enter, just fire
into the pods and then jump back. A heartbeat later, enter again. If you
did it just right, there are no enemies left in there. When grabbing the
Quartz Flasks, don't forget there's a crusher over them.
Once again out in the corridor, enter the 3rd door.
Watch out, there will be some Undead Warriors firing at you from the front,
and Golems trying to punch you out on both sides. It's the best place
to use the Ring of Invulnerability in this map, if any. Or if you've got
an extra Tome of Power, just power up your Gauntlets, that should do the
trick as well. Your prize for putting up with this folk is the Green Key
and a Tome of Power.

Follow the corridor until you arrive at a wall switch.
Hit it to go on. At the next turn there's a secret door, giving you access
to the Wings of Wrath.
After some stairs, the corridor ends. Once you arrive
here, rooms on both sides open up, giving you some meat to chew on. After
mopping up, get out.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Walk down the stairs outside. You'll see a platform
lowering. Step upon it and ride it up to the upper walkway. Collect the
goodies and jump down on the side you walked previously, i.e. make the
platform lower once again. Once it does, run over to the small courtyard
behind the Yellow Door, the wall in its middle lowered temporarily, giving
you access to some ammo.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Time to enter the Green Door. When you see the Blue
Key, light your torch and activate a Tome of Power if you have one. Now
grab that key. The lights go out, some Golems appear before and beside
you and some Undead Warriors behind you, but thanks to the torch you won't
be blind and the powered up Dragon Claw will rip them all to shreds.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
You can either return to the main courtyard and
enter the Blue Door from there, or use the secret shortcut (one of the
walls in the room behind you where the Undead Warriors came from). The
latter leads through a horde of Gargoyles and the slime pond, so if you're
low on health take the more boring way.
Behind the Blue Door, stairs are winding down and
down into ever-increasing darkness. At the very bottom you'll find the
exit.
