Cool. This gives me a better idea of how I'm going to use mana attacks.
Biendeo 25 Feb 2025 22:40
Almost all the maps have a script that every 4 minutes (that's of total time on the specific map), each specific respawn point has a 50% chance of spawning the enemy configured for it. For example, there's only four points on the first map, and they're all configured to spawn Ettins. Curiously, I think only the first hub has maps that spawn things other than Ettins. But yeah, they spawn in purely because of hard-coded spawn points and that four minute timer, and are not based on defeating other enemies (although other specific map scripts sometimes respond to enemy kills).
yugge 26 Feb 2025 13:52
Mastered! Thanks for an entertaining set. Thought it would be terrible based on it being an FPS on the N64. But its a pretty good port once you have gotten to grip with the odd control scheme.
IceStrike256 27 Feb 2025 04:33
First beat this back in 2017/18 can't remember. Great to revisit it with a different character. Mage was easy mode with ranged attacks lol
ZeroHabilidade 28 Feb 2025 00:44
well what can I say. After playing this for aotw, I can only define the experience as "Melee Doom but I don't know what the hell is going on". pretty fun, might come back for more.
tontogoldstein 28 Feb 2025 03:50
I like this game a lot but I always get exhausted after completing the first main area
Poefred 1 Mar 2025 12:18
I swear I've pulled every switch and the last staircase refused to rise. Got both keys, went to where they lead and pulled the switches there, still stuck. Wasn't having a rough time til' then, I kind of prefer the hub world style of this over DOOM in a way. (Fun tip that saved me from beeing seemingly softlocked, it's possible to skip the last staircase by running up the middle one and jumping with an awkward maneuver around the wall).
AutomneEternel 1 Mar 2025 16:57
If anything, this game is proof gamers need and want that yellow paint after all :p
firkinblin 2 Mar 2025 00:00
Came here for AotW and hell, this game is actually really fun. My biggest tip to anyone having trouble with it is to keep an eye out for keys, switches on the walls, light arrows on the ground, and anything else that seems different than before. You'll go back and forth multiple times through the different portals, sometimes from completely different sides. You'll start to figure out what different hidden doors look like and so on.

Also, DON'T SAVE YOUR GAME ON TOP OF SMALL PLATFORMS because you often have just a split second to move before falling off the edge when reloading -- the game does a bad job at respawning your exact location on them, and so you'll just keep repeatedly falling to your death until you get just the right angle back onto the platform. The fire level is notorious for this, so just save before and after you do any serious platforming.

On a side note, does anyone know how to switch between flasks? I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.. 😆
NicNamSam 2 Mar 2025 00:13
If you mean switch between green flask types, you can't. The 3 different classes have different green flask effects.
firkinblin 2 Mar 2025 03:08
No, I mean to switch between the purple flasks and green flasks. I have both of them and used the green ones at the beginning, but after getting the purple healing ones, I couldn't get back to the green ones, which are great for chucking into a group of enemies as a fighter. So surely there must be a way to swap between them.

And since someone on here was asking me about it, if you're using the Mupen64Plus core (the default core used for EmuDeck), then you'll probably experience some graphical issues when launching a new game and loading levels. You just need to wait a few seconds and press A. It'll work if you do that. Also, saving was a bit wonky at first, but once you manage to get a file named and saved, you shouldn't have any issues with it. To finish naming the file, you need to scroll through the letters until you get to the yellow "end" input.

Z + C stick to switch items firkinblin
HouDeDeDe 2 Mar 2025 11:57
This was fun game and set to master. Honestly kind of enjoyed the level design, even with the button hunting.

SPOILER for final boss: Holy enemy spam, but I still had enough consumables to make it trivial in the end lol.
Ghosty 7 Mar 2025 15:00
Mastered! After I rebound the controls to play like a modern twinstick shooter, I enjoyed this a lot!

Jank default control schemes aside, this is actually a pretty solid port.
NicNamSam 7 Mar 2025 19:09
Is it possible to make it fully modern? Because you can't turn while strafing as far as I know.
Spedyy 8 Mar 2025 07:17
This game was actually pretty fun to master, but I wish I went with mage instead of fighter
MrmrBear2 9 Mar 2025 02:37
You can turn while strafing if you use the 'control pad' method of controls. It's hard at first, but gives you more control in the end. I have it set up playing on a computer using controls like how I've always played doom. Makes it pretty easy, once you get used to it.

This is the manual https://archive.org/details/hexen-nus-nhxe-usa/page/n11/mode/2up
Shows keys for both control sets.
Ghosty 9 Mar 2025 17:39
@NicNamSam Yeah, control pad mode like MrmrBear2 said. I posted instructions, a reference image, and my actual rebind file on the discord in the AotW 2025 Evergreen Guide thread, but copying the instructions here:

How to rebind Hexen (N64) to be a mostly regular twinstick fps:

- "control pad" mode in-game (lets you strafe and turn at the same time)

RetroArch binds:
Movement and attack:
- bind L and R shoulder buttons to left/right on the left stick, and dpad up/down to up/down on the left stick
- bind dpad left/right to left/right on the right stick, and unbind up/down on the right stick
- bind the run button (A) to one of the triggers, I used L2
- bind attack (B) to the other trigger

Item and weapon switching:
- bind item selection (c-button Y-) to one of the shoulder buttons, I used L1
- bind weapon selection (c-button X+) to the other shoulder button
Now you can hold one of the shoulders and use the L-stick left/right to quickly switch. Item selection + L-stick up/down also looks up/down.

The rest of the binds I used:
- bind the map (Z) to select
- bind use item (c-button X-) to X
- bind jump/interact (c-button Y+) to Y
- bind map panning (control stick) to dpad
- leave A and B as they are for menus - dpad also works for menuing thanks to the control stick bind

Save as a game-specific remap file.

Enjoy the game with less jank controls!
NicNamSam 10 Mar 2025 04:48
That's awesome, thanks!
NicNamSam 18 Mar 2025 04:01
Mastered. I had a great time with this port, both playing it and making the icons for the achievements, which I felt compelled to do because of my love for this game. I've been playing Hexen since I was a kid and I've always loved the combination of the Doom engine and the dark fantasy theme. I hope this series can return in the future!
