Heretic 2

Raven Software, 1998

In only 4 years after the first Heretic game, Raven has completed the 'Serpent Rider' trilogy and returned to the make a direct sequel to the first installment. But instead of a dull remake of the first game, they turned it into a fast-paced 3rd person action game.

Set years after the first game, the hero Corvus (indeed Latin for raven) returns to his homeland only to find it's people have become victim of a deadly plague. Well, not so much deadly for the diseased as for their relatives, because the patients are turned into ravenous flesh-eating zombies. As the only one healthy enough to save his people Corvus must set out on a journey across the lands of Parthoris to find a cure. Like any decent action vehicle, this story only serves to go to exotic places and slaughter the inhabitants with all kinds of colorful weapons.

The weapons are indeed colorful, a whole range of magical staves, bows and spells can be used; all beautifully rendered with the Quake 2 engine. The characters are animated nicely, and the gameplay is smooth, so smooth in fact the game is over far too quickly.

Heretic 2 - They call it Heretic because the monsters don't believe in Creationism. Heretic 2 - They call it Heretic because the monsters don't believe in Creationism.

Hints

Tutorial

In the first part of the tutorial, every weapon and offensive spell except for the Iron Doom spell can be acquired. The the morph ovum and ring of repulsion defensive spells and a number of random shrines can also be found. To get these items, you've got to get higher up in the first chamber, e.g. by jumping on the barrels and from there onto the ledge. Now you can use these to make your fight with the training chicken even more unfair :).


The K'Chekrik Trial Pit

In this level there is also a room with lots of weapons and spells, but to get there you have to cheat. Use the kiwi cheat for no clipping and walk through the wall on the right of the arena.
