MAP35-necropolis

Map of Necropolis

Within the halls of the dead, your former masters await you. In the end, you must emerge victorious or all your struggles will have been for naught.

Strategy

As usual, you are greeted by an Icon of Korax. It says, "Are you strong enough to face your own masters?", alluding to the boss fights in the tombs. As you enter the hub, you'll find yourself in a large cemetery full of Reivers, a new and dangerous foe. The map is full of them, with some floating in the air already, and others rising out of the ground as you approach. Your ultimate weapon will come in useful for defeating groups of them. The Reivers come at the player in groups of a specific number, and when all in a particular group is killed off, another wave comes at them with their numbers halved until, eventually, they stop appearing altogether. Despite the challenge, it can be worthwhile to explore the map, as there are many items strewn about.

In this hub, there are three tombs to fight through, a bonus level, and the path to the final battle with Korax. You'll need the three relics - one from each master in his tomb - in order to progress to the Dark Crucible.

Bugs

Not technically a game affecting bug as HeXen never displays a kill percentage: there are three dormant Reivers on the map that are never activated.
