DooMBoy Posted November 30, 2002 So we've all heard about Doom's scariest moments, E1M8, E2M8, Cyberdemon, blah blah blah. So let's hear about some of the more chilling/frightening moments you've had while playing Heretic or Hexen. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted November 30, 2002 None because I didn't play them ha ha ha! 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 30, 2002 I feel like I'm being very unoriginal but... Heretic: first Iron Lich. Hexen: first Heresiarch. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted November 30, 2002 Heretic (I only played the shareware episode): E1M9 when you realise that they all throw those evil bloody axes o' death. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted November 30, 2002 I can't think of any. Neither game really was that scary. However, some wadfiles have been known to have a few scary parts (mostly the "casually walking down the hall and you're suddenly surrounded by a bunch of tough enemies" type). 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted November 30, 2002 I don't know, but maybe in the wolf chapel when the ettins break through the glass... :? 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted November 30, 2002 Probably that death wyvern at the end of Hexen's second hub. (the first time I played it, of course) 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted November 30, 2002 HeXen, dont have it. But for Heretic.... When my puter shut down while I was fighting the Iron Liches for the first time, and I didnt save... 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted November 30, 2002 Too bad the Iron Lich doesn't fly. It would have made them a lot more challenging, and maybe scarier too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted November 30, 2002 other than that, nothing else is scary.. except maybe the reivers on necropolis. Just scary because of their numbers and risk of getting caught up in a large group of them. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted November 30, 2002 The Necropolis is a pretty eerie level, what with thunder booming in the background and those Reivers making their "I-see-you" sounds and attacking with those dangerous fireballs. Heretic's scared the crap out of me on several occasions, particularly when an enemy would teleport in out of nowhere, or when I was hit by something in a darkened corridor, and I didn't expect anything to happen. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted November 30, 2002 Oh yeah... I forgot about that one. Those Reivers just keep coming. I know you'll eventually run out, but for a while it doesn't seem like it. Some other spooky maps for Hexen (original and expansion pack): Dungeons Effluvium Tradacus' Tomb Catacomb Brackenwood (4, count 'em, 4 Death Wyverns) Pyre Locus Requiescat Abbatoir Cloaca 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted November 30, 2002 another scary part in a way for trying to survive, is getting to and through bright crucible with the fighter on skill level 5. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 30, 2002 The scariest moment was when I noticed the game dumped you back to DOS when exiting a map during a recording... 0 Share this post Link to post
Insomniak Posted November 30, 2002 Fighting the Heresiarch the 2nd time in the Gibbet. That giant lava pentagram, and his own personal gateway to the land of the dead. Creepy. The one time in Heretic that I was truly scared was E5M8, where you fight 3 of those maulators. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted November 30, 2002 By the time I played those two games I had been cured of actual fear for games done in the Doom engine. But the creepiest level is likely the Necropolis. Didn't know the Reivers were saying "I-see-you"... 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted November 30, 2002 They don't. I think he means the alert sounds they make. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted November 30, 2002 Actually it sounds like they're saying Yeah! or something like that. Silly dsm :P 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted November 30, 2002 DooMBoy said:Actually it sounds like they're saying Yeah! or something like that. Silly dsm :P Well, if some guy can believe that a mancubus says "I am your mom!", then I'm prepared to come across a guy who's ready to believe that those Reivers say "I-see-you". And it sounds to me like they're saying "Hunnnnyeeaaahhhh, hunnnnyeeeaahhhhhh!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted November 30, 2002 I swear dark bishops say "Wish you were bruce" I don't know if it is the same on the PC as N64 though.. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted December 3, 2002 I really haven't had a scary moment in heretic. But in hexen it was when I realized the game was exactly the same no matter what class you chose, aside from the weapons. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted December 3, 2002 Heretic and Hexen never scared me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Insomniak Posted December 3, 2002 There's alot of weird sounds that Doom, Heretic, and Hexen enemies make that sound like words in English. I.E. The disiples in Heretic sometimes sound like they're saying: "It happens to old magma" the Reivers in Hexen soung like they're saying "yeahhhh" every once and a while. The Arch-Vile seems to say "It's all right" when it dies I can almost make out something in the Cacodemon's death cry. 0 Share this post Link to post
scorpion Posted December 3, 2002 HeXen (I never finished the game, so there probably are scarier moments): The first time I fell down and down and down in the Guardian of Fire Heretic: The first time I played the shareware version and someone whispered in my ear that I'd get cool weapons if I type COCKADOODLEDOO... Nope, I don't think anything in the game has scared me more since then ;-) Insomniac: I could never make anything out of the Archvile's deathcry, let alone that... :-P 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted December 3, 2002 In Hexen, if you type in the code DELIVERANCE you get 25 of all artifacts (including the hidden artifacts like Tome of Power, Orb of Mystery, and Time Freeze) all keys, all puzzle pieces, and all weapons. 0 Share this post Link to post
scorpion Posted December 3, 2002 Ichor grunts: In Hexen, if you type in the code DELIVERANCE you get 25 of all artifacts (including the hidden artifacts like Tome of Power, Orb of Mystery, and Time Freeze) all keys, all puzzle pieces, and all weapons. LOL, I already knew that one ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted December 3, 2002 Insomniac said:The disiples in Heretic sometimes sound like they're saying: "It happens to old magma"The disciples say backwards: "Destroy the Heretic" and "Succumb to us, Heretic". D'Sparil says backwards "Surrender to D'Sparil", and something else that I can't make out (it might just be a noise). Regarding Doom sounds, the noise the mancubus makes has always made me think of "On your marks", but I suspect it's really just a growl of some sort. Likewise the spider mastermind: "Who is he?". 0 Share this post Link to post

(I think it's impulse 41, anyway) 0 Share this post Link to post
