A few helpful hints....

Things aren't as they used to be in the World of Hexen...expect numerous changes!

1. Rule number one: LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MANA!

2.Trading blows and then healing is always a bad idea.

3. Save game often! This cannot be stressed enough. There are creatures who can insta-kill you.
4. Brute force is never the way: fight tactically. And use items, use magic.

5. Learn to block projectiles with the Repulsion Discs. Get this into a habit.

6. There are more ranged enemies than there is mana. So do learn to use your free weapons. Specifically - take advantage of the melee attacks from cover. Trees, fire braziers, statues - will work wonderfully.

7. Learn and take advantage of specific weapons' strengths and maximize them.

8. Alternative (and secret) routes may be found to overcome some deadly places.

9. If you fall into a well, and can't jump or fly out - there usually are other options....

10. A lot of the items are hidden, in a classic style. Wolf 3D, Heretic and Quake2 say hello :-)

11. Almost all starting weapons receive a power boost, if you have blue mana in your inventory

12. Almost all of the secret places have some kind of a logical clue as to where they are. Sometimes, this clue is obvious - other times it is as far from obvious as it gets. The ones that don't have such clue - these are usually located in places where a secret is most likely to have been placed. If you are well versed in the old-school shooters, you should be more than fine.

Explore, seek, discover!

Enjoy the game!
