Heretic was the first game to use the Doom engine outside of id. Produced by John Romero in cooperation of Raven Software, Heretic promises to be a great fantasy blastfest in a package! Fight off Gargoyles, Golems, Wraiths and Weredragons with your Dragonclaw, Phoenix rod, Hellstaff and Firemace! This game also introduces a new item system that's become a general must for most games, using with the familiar bracket keys. Items include Wings of Wrath, Polymorph Egg, Chaos Device, Disc of Repulsion, and everyone's favorite Tome of Power, that supercharges your weapons!

Description

A 21st century Heretic episode covering many styles of level, both traditional and unusual as well. Having achieved everything I wanted to in DooM 2, I have decided to move on to Heretic 'cos it's just as easy to make levels for it as it is for DooM. (although I will return to DooM afterwards) It's also a great game and I thought of some great ideas, many using Heretic's special features.

I went back to check this out after having finished Serpent Resurrection. I'm currently on E5M3 and I just figured out how to access the secret level. The one secret area that tripped me up was probably the simplest one of all, the one that requires you to cross a trigger line in a nearby niche to the east.

And I just hit a game breaking bug. In E5M5 there are two secret teleporters in the central room, each leading to the barred off balconies overlooking the room. Once you teleport into them to get the items, there is no way to get back out without using NOCLIP.
