Other Files By Author : I have been creating wacky and wonderful wads for
over a decade - too many to list here!
Gameplay Info : This levelset does not support jumping or crouching.
Doing so may break maps and is considered cheating.
Do so at your own risk ;)
Map ISLAND05 features rain effects. If these are too
taxing for your computer, please load the optional
HER_QFCS_DisableWeather.wad after the main wad.
If you like to play with GZDoom's dynamic lighting,
please load the optional HER_QFCS_Lights.wad after
GZDoom's lights.wad.
And remember, you can walk on top of the explosive
pods... :)

skulls, using their power to open a portal to the

master's return.
Corvus must collect the remaining six crystal
skulls in order to unlock the celestial path and
confront the Heresiarch before it's too late.
