I already put the three gears in their respective slots. But there is a forth one missing. Closer inspection and I found this up there but I can't find a way to reach it. Guess I'm gonna try my luck that portal I unlocked.

Regarding this >>276002696 I was scrolling through my items and I found I actually got a forth gear and I have no idea where I got it since I only remember 3 possible locations.

Thanks.

In the mean time I found a bookshelf where Daedolon went "Hmm" when I hit space, along with a headless statue that he also said "Hmm." Guess I need to find a book and head I guess?

>>276007145
I don't think it was a book item you have to find, I'm pretty sure you have to find bookshelves with specific symbol.
Only skull I remember was in the Deathkings expansion.
Also, you're near that room where you have to kill 3 serpents very slowly.
How are you enjoying that level with bedroom, library, chapel and other "comfy" rooms?

Sure enough I found a book and went back to the library. I hit space a book went to the bookshelf. A sound cue was ringed and I have no idea where to go now. Guess I'll keep exploring.

Talking about this statue.

And I'm really enjoying these levels. I wonder occupied these rooms. Surely not ettins. This game is really proving itself to be timeless in my opinion.

>>276008041
The level design works so well because unlike in Doom, in Hexen you can distinguish specific rooms and their use. One room for example looks like a bedroom and because the graphics are really old and simple, your brain creates all those little details.

Okay, so I just returned from wandering around the two levels this hub provides only to find that I somehow missed a key that was right here. Gonna use this rusty key now.

Thank god fighting is so fun in Hexen.

Too bad that it most likely spawned some key/puzzle item somewhere and I am having that darned time finding it.
