"Heretic II" is a standalone game, separate from the Serpent Riders Trilogy, and continues the story of Corvus after the events of Heretic.

It was developed by Raven Software and published by Activision on November 24th, 1998.

Story[]

Corvus, having been cursed by the Serpent Rider D'Sparil upon the latter’s death, found himself trapped in the Outer Worlds. He would spend ages wandering through them, hoping to find a way home. All his former weapons had been rendered inert, save for his single staff. Eventually, while in the midst of a battle, Corvus' Tome of Power was able to create a world ripple back to Parthoris. Upon his return, however, he found himself in the middle of yet another conflict.

Corvus and his Tome soon discovered that a magical plague had been cast across his homeworld, and that he too has been infected with it. The plague itself was created by Morcalavin, a mage of the supposedly long gone seraph race. Corvus must stop Morcalavin and find a cure to the plague in order for Parthoris to finally be at peace.

Gameplay[]

The game is different from its predecessors in that it is played in the third person. The player controls Corvus as he journeys through several different environments (some familiar).

Corvus has four different weapons at his disposal, but can also cast offensive and defensive spells this time around. He has also learned new acrobatic tricks that can be utilized in game, whether against an enemy or overcoming an obstacle. New to the series as well are shrines, which can bestow various boosts and upgrades.

Hubs and Levels[]

Notes & Trivia[]

  • There is a modern compilation pack for the game, where you can also play from a first person perspective by changing the view to just behind Corvus' head.
