You can call it a FAQ, or whatever you like. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Copyrights 3. Weapons 4. Cheats 5. Monters 6. Frequently Asked Questions INTRODUCTION Thanks for downlading HHH.ZIP! This is my first FAQ, so give me a break here folks. Although this FAQ is for all versions, the monsters in this FAQ are about the Beta/Demo not the Registered version. Well, right now I would like to tell you a litle about me. I am a12 year old born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am really interested in PC's and hope to become the next John Romero :). COPYRIGHTS I don't know if I have to put this in here, but here goes: All Hexen artifacts and related items belong to Raven/id Software. WEAPONS Well, here we are! The acutal FAQ part of it! This part of this is broken down into 3 parts: Fighter, Cleric and Mage. Fighter Fist: The basic weapon of the Fighter class. I personally wouldn't rely on this weapon, but it is a good last defense. Timon's Axe: Not the very best weapon, but stronger then the Fist. It also can be used as a regular axe (Without the "Magic Aura" around it). It also has a longer range. Hammer of Retribution: A very cool weapon for the fighter, possibly the best in Deathmatch if you don't have the Quietus. You "throw" (It doesn't look likt it too much) the hammer, which is shielded buy some magic to make it more powerful, which causes major damage and explodes on impact. You can also use this weapon as a normal weapon when the magic runs out. Quietus: Now this is some sword! This sword, like almost all the other fighter's weapons, glows with a green magic and shoots out little "magic swords" when shot. Unfotanetly, however, when this weapons runs out of magic you can't use it as just a plain sword. This sword is very powerful and does major damage. Cleric Mace: The basic weapon of the Cleric. Some what powerful, but as with the Fighter, don't rely on it in the heat of combat. Serpent Staff: A cool weapon that sucks the energy out of people at close range! When hit with this weapon is DM, your screen turns green and it is hard to see. Sometimes the eye on this weapon blinks! Pretty cool, eh? Firestorm: Like every good id/Raven game, it MUST have some kind of fire weapon. Well, here it is! The ultimate fire flinger, as I like to call them. When you shoot this a line of fire shoots out, and makes a fire circle around the target. When you first use it it may look puny, but when in DeathMatch, Watch out! It is very poweful. Justifier: Here it is! Perhaps the best weapon in the game! It shoots out a white engery ball, and when it hits something it explodes into a bunch of spirits!!! In DM it is very useful because you cannot get away from this weapon without certain artifacts. The IOD (Icon of the Defender) is a very good tool against this weapon because when the spirits touch you they reverse and go after the one that fired the weapon, giving YOU the frag! The second best tactic against this weapon is the Chaos device, because the spirits will not come and getcha when you teleport. The worst tactic should only be used as a last resort. The DOR, (Disk of Repulsion) if fired carefully, can repel the spirits. They will come back at you, but if you keep hitting them they will eventually deteriorate into thin air and you are free- until he fires it again. Mage ElvenWand: The only weapon carried down from Heretic, this weapon is a little bit better in looks and power. Like all the other weapons you come with, don't rely on it for a good kill. You can get a good kill from this if you are a good sniper. I know when playing level 3 in Deathmatch I was a mage and got a couple kills by sniping at the other players. Frost Shards: A very awesome weapon!!! When you kill someone with this, they freeze into a bunch of ice. You can also blow them up by switching to another weapon. I like freezing people then pushing off a cliff, then I hear a big crack. I look down and see ice peices all over the place. Arc of Death: A very awesome lightning attack! This weapon goes through Windows and high platforms. When it someone is hit with this weapon, it stays with them unless they are wearing the speed boots. The lightning also looks very cool too. Bloodscourge: A very awesome weapon, this fiery skull fires a fireball that splits into two as it goes along. If you like setting your froes on fire, well, this is the best weapon! There isn't really a strategy to avoiding this weapon because it is really just a point-and-shoot weapon. Phew! That was a lot! Time for some more stuff! CHEATS This is the cheat codes for BETA/DEMO ONLY. Sorry, folks, I don't have the reg ones unless I look onto another FAQ, which I don't really want to do. BGOKEY: God mode CRHINEHART: All weapons RJOHNSON: No clipping MRAYMONDJUDY: All Keys BRAFFEL: Full inventory SGURNO: Full Health EBIESSMAN: Pig mode (Awesome!!!) REVEAL: All map PLIPO#: Change class (0=Fighter, 1=Cleric, 2=Mage) BPELLETIER##: Level warp TMOORE: All puzzle peices. This code doesn't work well in the Beta/Demo CSTIKA: Destroys all enemies (Bwahaha!!) PMACARTHER: Version Info JSUMWALT: X Y coordinates MWAGABAZA##: Run a script KSCHILDER: Sound debug INIT: Restart level RAMBO: Try it and get a surprise :) QUICKEN: Try this one 3 times in a row :) OK, that's all of em. In Deathmatch, if you are gonna die and rather suicide, hit the [F5] key and press the [Y] key. MONSTERS OK this is all the Monsters that I know. Eberrin: These brown little freaks with two heads are a constant nuicance. They are easily destroyed, but when they are fighting with others, fight hard or get pounded. Hexen is tough, fight hard. (Little Parody there) Fire Gargoyles: Little flying "bats" that fire three fire balls at you. They move fats and are especially hard to kill with the Arc of Death. Horsemen: I do not really know what they are called, but they are half a horse and half a human. You won't see this one in the Beta/Demo, but some people may create WADs with them in there. Better watch out! If you fire something at the head on, they will raise their sheild and block it. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: How do I avoid the Justifier in DeathMatch? A: Well, get the IOD (Icon of the Defender) and use it when you hear the Justifier being fired. When the spirits hit you they will go and attack the person that fired it. If you don't have the IOD, use the Chaos Device and get out of there. If you don't have either of those, and you do have the DOR (Disk of Repulsion), use that. If you have good aim the spirits will be pushed away, although they will come back. If you keep them away, they will finally deterioate and you will be safe. You must have A LOT of DORs for this technique to work. Q: I opened the swiveling door in level 1, now what? A: Go through the swiveling door, turn left, and go up the stairs where there will be three stained glass windows. Look for one with a picture of a Fighter on it and break it. There is a secret passage behind it. Q: OK, I did what you said, got the steel key, and rang the bell. What next? A: Well go back to the room with the swiveling door, and the gate that was gaurding the red smoke (which is a teleport) is gone. Step into the Red smoke and you will be teleported to the end where the Ethereal Transport, steo into that, and on to the Seven Portals. Q: OK I am in the Gaurdian of Ice, and I hit the switch. I see that a sword is pointing to a cirlce, but when I step into the others they all collapse and kill me. Should I go into it? A: Yes. Once you step into it you will be teleported BACK to the Seven Portals, where you enter the Gaurdian of Fire. Q: I am in the Gaurdian of Fire level, and it said "You here the faint cracking of ice" (Beta) or "One section of the puzzle has been solved" (Demo). A: Unfortanetly, you can'y do anything else in the Beta/Demo from there except get the Fire Mask, but that doesn't do anything for you. Q: I entered a teleport and it said "Access denied - Demo (Beta)". What's wrong?? A: Don't worry, nothing is wrong. This is just how far the Beta/Demo goes :(. You can still walk around by clipping through the walls (Look in the section "CHEATS") and look around. When I get the full version, which will be soon, I will right the end to this FAQ. Well, that's all folks! This CAN be used for the Registered game but is intended for the Beta/Demo. Have fun! 3D
