Hexen II Walkthrough Frequently Asked Questions
Walkthrough FAQ
by Thrrrpptt!
A brief glance at any Hexen II message board or newsgroup will illustrate that there are several questions about this game that get asked over and over and over again. Many of these questions deal with performance issues, bugs, plans for add-on packs, and deathmatch/internet play. However, a large percent of people's questions deal with how to solve puzzles or progress past difficult parts of this great game. This is the main reason I wrote the walkthroughs.
These walkthroughs do a pretty good job of guiding your through the game, so look there first for the answers to your single-player questions. However, certain questions still arise. Thus, I have written this list of Frequently Asked Questions for single player games. If you'd like to contribute to this list, feel free to email us.
- Help! I'm stuck on Hub1/2/3/4/5! Where do I find the key/element/jar/artifact/thingie!
- I want to skip to a certain level or hub. How can I do that?
- How does the experience system work? How much experience do I need to reach each level? what about abilities for each class?
- I've decided to take all the fun out of the game by cheating, thereby wasting my hard-earned money, stripping the game of all its puzzles, and reducing it to another boring shoot-em up. Can you help me out?
- Does the game differ with which class you choose or what difficulty you play on?
- Are there any secrets in this game? You know, like in Quake?
- I've got a custom map I want to play. How do I do that?
- I'm playing the demo of the game and it doesn't match up with your walkthrough! Why not?
- What the heck kind of name is "Thrrrpptt!" anyway?
- The Mill Key isn't where you said it was in the walkthrough. What's up?
- The diary and Treasury Key aren't where they're supposed to be! They appear in different places each time I play a game. This is due to what class or difficulty I'm playing on, right?
- Oh, yeah? Well, I'm where you said to go and I still can't find the key.
- The button next to the fireplace in the forge isn't there! What gives?
- I can't kill the crystal golem! I did everything, and even got the message that I have the power to kill him, but he's still immune to my attacks! AAARRRGHH!
- I can't hit the ankh button to open the little pyramid in The Temple of Horus. Am I just uncordinated?
- I've tried for hours, but I can't solve the 3x3 floor puzzle in Egypt. I'm going to start breaking things now.
- The door in the Chamber of the Sun (Hub 3) won't open, even though I've correctly set the sundial in the Temple of Light. Why not?
- When I stand in the lap of the giant Pharaoh statue (Shrine of Naos map) I can see a this little door up above, but can't get to it. What's up there?
- I get zorched by lightening every time I try to approach the silver bar in Hub 4. I also get ambushed by lots of monsters. Any way around this?
- Is there any way to keep the imps from ambushing me when I get the gold bar in Hub 4?
- HEY! All the goodies that were supposed to be waiting for me in the Temple of Mars are gone! Where'd they go?
- Okay, but I'm still missing a couple of the prizes, no matter what.
- Man, I get whomped when I try to clear out the monsters guarding the defiled alter in Hub 5. Any suggestions?
- There's a room in the Dark Mage's Tower (Hub 5) with an indestructible desk, a candle, and a ledge that I can't seem to get up to. Is there any way up there?
