Hexen+DLC
Brutal Hexen is designed to be experienced with the Hexen+DLC MegaWAD which combines both Hexen and DLC into one brutal campaign.

Unfortunately I cannot provide this on a public forum, you will need to private message me or post a comment. For more information on the MegaWAD please head over to the ZDL Projects Patreon page, or you can use console commands to stream to the DLC but please note, we have fixed the original Hexen.WAD issue where you would get stuck in the boss room and many other fixes, it prevents getting ambushed on the first few maps due to the dynamic framework, every map has a different track instead of duplicating the music, also modified the DLC for extra brutality.

MegaWAD update (October 2025)
