Hub 1: Guardian of Fire

Guardian of fire is the fourth map in HeXen. It is considered somewhat easy and shorter than other maps. the level uses some very interesting scripting at times.

Walkthrough
This map has a lot of damaging floors and some particularly deadly pitfalls. beating it requires vigilance.

First visit

Take note that unlike some other levels, the exit portal is open right behind you.

Walk forward and the wall will open as a door, walk out onto the ledge, watch out for the auto scripted event that happens, when it's over go through the door (sometimes you can't use this until the event is over). Carefully go down the steps to the side, kill the ettin and affrits that are in the way.

secrets and tricks
- instead of raving the long set of jumping across pillars to get the fire mask, there is a secret door in the Lava fountain room that leads to an alcove that connects to a small ledge, run across the ledge (note, in some source ports this doesn't work)
