Deathwatch

#1 Post by Falconis »

Now, I've just found out something interesting about the deathwatch level, and am wondering how many other people know...

There's a shortcut!!!!!

Not a vital one, or even a very useful one, but I was still surprised! I thought there was nothing interesting down that part of the level...

So, how many of you knew there was a shortcut???

I knew, but only because I saw it when I was preparing a Deathwatch map for wiki spoilers section. I was pretty surprised by this too. Used it a few times since then.

Yeah, I was browsing the special maps to find out whether I wanted any more for Annals of Ea, when I found it.

And I'm not sure whats with the code tag skipping lines like this, but you have a general idea.

I will take a screenshot when I go there... If I remember, that is.

I never came even close to finding out. The first time I saw Deathwatch was with a mindcrafter who used precognition to map out the entire level. It made finding the artifacts and the way out easy but kept the secret shortcut invisible.

I found it with precognition with graphics preferences set to distinguish between permanent walls and granite walls.
