Hexen: Beyond Heretic cheats / Hexen: Beyond Heretic hints / Hexen: Beyond Heretic faqs / Hexen: Beyond Heretic solutions Hexen: Beyond Heretic hints Having spent many hours stuck in the earlier levels of Hexen, I finally figured out what my problem was: I was trying to think logically. No, make that, I was trying to think. After a couple of hubs of frustration, I finally worked out the correct strategy for this game's so-called "puzzles"; then I never got stuck again (and easily found the hidden levels, which aren't all that hidden.) Since many people seem to be stuck in various stages of this Rube Goldberg mess, here's a few general tips that always seemed to work: 1. Waste no time figuring out that button you just pushed did. Chances are, it changes something 1000 miles from your current location, changes something that's completely unrelated to th location, appearance or surroundings of the button, and it won't change that something until N other buttons have been pressed. A random rewalk of the hub (which you'll do anyway) will find it faster than any deductive thought process, and you'll understand it just as well as the fellow who tried to figure it out logically (but you'll have it figured out before Christmas.) 2. Waste no time figuring out how to open that wall that the map insists is a door. It's either an ambush or it will self-open later due to some action you don't even remember doing. 3. The more useless, dangerous and pointless some activity is, the higher the chance you have to do it to finish the game. 4. When stuck, walk through the entire hub again. There will be some new switch or passage that magically appeared due to your stepping over a line 20 kilometers away in another map. 5. If that fails, go kill that monster that you were too chicken to face. Do this enough times and Hexen will realize you've actually gone and visited that little part of the map that some programmer spend hours designing and felt every player absolutely had to experience; then it will let you into the next part of the game. 6. If that fails, go look for things in your inventory that don't match the standard items (assuming you can successfuly pattern-match the icons against those eensy-weensy reproductions in the CD-case manual.) Make it your default item, then run around looking for interesting wall textures and objects and press ENTER and SPACEBAR in front of every pixel on that object. 7. Iterate steps 4-6 until hub is solved. Hexen: great atmosphere, good combat, terrible puzzles. Other Hexen: Beyond Heretic cheats hints faqs solutions: 1. Hexen: Beyond Heretic cheat codes 1.
