Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel

From Doom Wiki

Hexen:Deathkings of the Dark Citadel retail box.

Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel is an official expansion pack of Hexen: Beyond Heretic. The game features 3 new hubs, spanning across 20 levels in total.

Deathkings starts off where the original Hexen story left off. Having discovered the Chaos Sphere after the defeat of Korax, the sphere whisks the heroes away to the Realm of the Dead, and they must find their way home. Getting back will not be easy, though, for the way is blocked by the Dark Citadel.

[edit] Hubs

There are three hubs in Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel:

[edit] Music

Deathkings reuses Hexen's music, but the SNDINFO lump (which, in Hexen, contains the associations between maps and music tracks) in version 1.0 was not updated for the map numbers in the expansion. A patch (dkpatch.zip) has been released for updating HexDD.wad, which enables music in-game, and upgrades it to version 1.1.

[edit] Deathmatch maps

  • As well as the 20 single player maps, Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel also comes with several new maps made specificially for deathmatch play, all of which may all be accessed from the "hub" of Transit:
    • Transit (MAP33)
    • Over N Under (MAP34)
    • Deathfog (MAP35)
    • Castle of Pain (MAP36)
    • Sewer Pit (MAP37)
    • The Rose (MAP38)

[edit] Patches
