okay, well, i thought it was cool that you can warp to earlier levels and have monsters respawn, so, i decided to add this, cause it's kind of cool, but it would be boring / pointless / not challenging at all to do on skill levels 1, 2, or 3. So, do it on skill levels 4 or 5.
After you kill korax, type in warp 01 or whatever you type in to warp to the first level... i think that's it... you keep all your weapons and stuff, and take this as backstory...
"Right before Korax's spirits dissipate, using the last bit of strength they had, they teleported you to Winnowing Hall... As you look around, you begin to wonder how the minions of Korax have grown in strength so fast... you look around, and even the monastery looks untouched, but you remember smashing the windows.. what is going on? Do you have to face every one of Korax's minions again? The Death Wyvern..? The Heresiarchs..? Your ancestors..?"
Explanation... Korax had one last trick up his sleeve, a newly-learned spell of banishment through time... he sent you back ten years in time, before you did anything, before he learned any such spells...
Yeah, i think this is fun playing the game from the beginning with everything from before, kinda like new game + in FFX, but it wouldn't be worth it if the game was too easy... just so it's a little bit more easy, and just fun... and you can get char levels higher...
And, i don't know if this is a bug or feature (it's too good to be a feature???) In the first secret level, hexen.wad version 1.0 or 1.1, doesn't matter, did them both... whence you pick up the heart of... D'Sparil, is it? You automatically gain 5 levels, but without gaining the experience... what's up with that? Also, i've checked, you can do this as many times as you want through the game, so if you warp 06 or whatever the secret level is, take the heart, warp 07, then warp 06 (rinse and repeat) you can, if possible, max out your character.
