This boss is ridiculously hard on Black Plague mode...harder than the rest of the game by miles. Took me about 2 hours straight of consecutive attempts to kill him. I only had one invincibility ring, 3 flasks, and 1 urn. What I ended up doing was using my weak weapons until I killed his serpent...then I started blasting him with the phoenix rod. As the fight progresses, he will begin teleporting more and more often, and there will be lots of disciples summoned. I simply circle strafed around the map and hit him with the phoenix rod whenever I could, dodging the shots of the disciples. When it starts getting to the point where I couldn't get close enough to hit him with the rod, and the disciples are getting too hard to dodge, I then turned on my invincibility ring and the wings, turned on my tome of power, and flew around the map finishing him off with the dragon claw. Very tough fight.
Bootlebat they didn't wanna do the same thing for the next two games. Hell, the Heresiarch was similar enough - another robed demon who spawns in his wizards when down to half his health and dies a technicolor death with his skeleton showing too. Tool cool to toss, so still in the game; a thing that looks like it should be his steed became Korax instead lol.
@samirgeagea12 That's actually the second hardest. The hardest level is "Black plague possesses thee". It's the equivalent of "NIGHTMARE!!" from Doom in which all monsters are on crack and will respawn.
This is almost impossible on black plague but I did beat him after 200 times lol. The key is to use your invulnerability rings and toast him with the powered up phoenix rod as quick as possible or you will get swamped by disciples.
Yes. Wish game/software industry still had skills to make as beautiful and working products for modern gigabyte/gigahertz computers. All mainstream software nowadays is ugly, bloated crap loading and responding slower on modern machines than this old quality software did with just 8MB RAM and 33MHz.
I finished this episode with nothing at the start.Was hard,but close to the end i used to run around arena for about 5 min,while disciples were attacking D'sparil. I had 1 Ring,1 Mystic Urn and 4 Quartz Fasks.
please help!!! i've got doom engine but everytime i play heretic, hexen or doom my pc reboots! fisrt it stops then restart!! what can i do? somenthing in the settings? please help!!if anyone knows answer this!!
heretic does kick doom's ass but in heretic's version of doom's nightmare, the monsters dont come back they just hit harder and faster, but heretic brings back some great memories too bad that heretic was not made compatible with windows xp, if it was, then we wouldnt have to use source ports.
@ masterlevels the only time i used to complete this game without codes was when i had the demo version so yea i mainly use the godmode code n the all weapons code n its not that im saying u should its just that there are only a few codes like godmode that might be useful for newbies whom might be unfamiliar with the game.
menslady125 hes almost impossible to beat on black plague the only way I have beaten him is if you have alot of invincibility rings and you toast him with the powered up phoenix rod as quick as you can or you will get swamped by so many disciples its not funny.
the dark bishops in Hexen are a bit of a pushover compared to the disciples, but I hate their yellow energy attack stars that twirl and home into you even around corners
DO NOT use the empowered Hell Staff against D'Sparil, he has only 20% sensitivity to its plasma drops. Use either empowered Phenix Rod (if available) or Ethereal Crossbow.
@FLAME4564 Isn't it obvious? If you use codes you are faster and also cheat at the same time. I also can ran thru levels with codes but I leave it to the people who cant complete game without cheats
Worst. Boss. Ever. I mean, spamming teleport? Really? Sounds like a lot of fun. And don't tell me that was fun! That was just annoying as hell. Screw this guy! Hopefully the guy who got this idea got fired after that...
such bad graphics......heretic 2 was a major improvement from this....but it looks really interesting notheless....imma play it, cuz i just finished heretic 2.
@FLAME4564 can and have completed game with 4th difficult level many times and i think you can complete heretic without codes only on easiest difficult setting. Take that newbie and think twice before you start arguing with gamer who doesnt need codes to complete game :D
@masterlevels pfft i can also complete the game at only two difficulties mind u both middle and 4th difficulty so watch ur mouth on wat u say masterlevels.

Black plage mode?
Very nostalgic! I played that game and finished it 12 years ago! Thank you for bringing back the memories!
D'Sparil would probably shit himself and willingly surrender if I loaded Heretic with the Russian Overkill mod.
I find it so cute when I see D'Sparil riding that Chaos Serpent. Makes me feel bad about killing them while playing Hexen. :(
@OrangeSodaKing I love it when they used to do that in doom, doom 2, quake, quake 2, heretic, and other old games of that type.
Why is he the only serpent rider who actually, you know, rides a serpent?

This level and the battle vs D'Sparil re-made with current gen graphics would be AWESOME.
really nice job...i play this game when i was 6 years old now i remember...tnx man really good game
Lmao I like how the monsters fight each other.

Stefano Pavone yeah I hate when hes almost dead he teleports really fast
Ahh good old days when ammo was laying all over the floor...
Heretic and HeXen are beautiful games.
Yes. Wish game/software industry still had skills to make as beautiful and working products for modern gigabyte/gigahertz computers.

@@TheSimoc there is a hexen remake that is wonderful
Me too. If you play Alien Vendetta (a Doom WAD) this song plays at the achievement screen, after you finish each level.
This was one of my first games
Absolutely good times!!
Ya’ll believe this video been teaching you to defeat D’sparil for almost 11 years? 🌚
AAAH MEMORIES
I played a demo when I was like 5 yo, now I'm 25 and remember it name so I decided to clear it, D'sparil is part of my life now
Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Strife!
Oh and also weird ass total conversions such as Chex Quest or Hacx :D
I can't believe I beat this at age 10... wtf was I on?!
and using the arrow keys and ctrl no less. No mouselook.
Twitch reflexes. Youthful twitch reflexes.
Thou needeth a wet-nurse
i love this game
and i think this song is awesome!
Which music track is this?
I finished this episode with nothing at the start.Was hard,but close to the end i used to run around arena for about 5 min,while disciples were attacking D'sparil.
I had 1 Ring,1 Mystic Urn and 4 Quartz Fasks.
I wish I had D'Sparils's staff :3
@FLAME4564
I have played doom clones as long I can remember and always play as it was meant to be played was it hard or not
Lol I came here after watching the Heretic 2 intro in which Corvus fucking oneshots D'Sparil XD.
Gamma: 99%
i got realize that hexen exists, i played heretic like 15yrs ago but near that time i quit pc gaming for consoles
I LOVE IT THIS GAME
please help!!! i've got doom engine but everytime i play heretic, hexen or doom my pc reboots! fisrt it stops then restart!!
what can i do? somenthing in the settings? please help!!if anyone knows answer this!!
Yes!

How?Heretic is much easier.
Lame: D'sparil's steed looks like one of the first enemies you encounter in Hexen
XD hahah i soooooooooooooo remember this classic very well XD hahaha heritic ftw XD
chavo dame un consejo
como puedo matar al d'sparil
@ masterlevels the only time i used to complete this game without codes was when i had the demo version so yea i mainly use the godmode code n the all weapons code n its not that im saying u should its just that there are only a few codes like godmode that might be useful for newbies whom might be unfamiliar with the game.
I beat him on nightmare, there were way too many Disciples. It's pathetic how many of there are in the lower difficulties.
Is the Hellsmith the last boss?
i used to play the demo for hours...does anybody know where i can download the entire game for free?...
Just give a google, it is in many sites and nowadays it is legally open source.
0:20 wtf is he in a bathroom?
3:22 Violator, is that you?
In my opinion Heretic 2 is better but I still like Heretic and Hexen
@masterlevels lmao XD then howcome i was able to beat the game more faster then normal then mmm?
and the level 32 (or 31) too
SINCE 1996 !
HI! is this in nightmare mode??
@karthauzi8726 well I found 10 times more dissapointing the final boss for doom 2 than the spider mastermind, I agree Dsparil is such a badass boss
How about Blood....the best build engine game.
Ugh! I HATE D'Sparil! Even on the easiest difficulty level, he is such a pain!
menslady125 hes almost impossible to beat on black plague the only way I have beaten him is if you have alot of invincibility rings and you toast him with the powered up phoenix rod as quick as you can or you will get swamped by so many disciples its not funny.
Peter Van
Oh, my word! Thank you for the tip. I will take that to heart!
menslady125 the herisiarch in hexens still easier even on the hardest level
the dark bishops in Hexen are a bit of a pushover compared to the disciples, but I hate their yellow energy attack stars that twirl and home into you even around corners
Peter Van
Ouch!
DO NOT use the empowered Hell Staff against D'Sparil, he has only 20% sensitivity to its plasma drops. Use either empowered Phenix Rod (if available) or Ethereal Crossbow.
He teleports around to much in phase 2 for the powered up phoenix rod. But on phase 1 it obliterates him.
And use weakest weapon without power-ups to kill the serpent, spare all heavier ammo and power-ups for harder stage with D'sparil.
this is like DOOM and HeXen together =P~
I really enjoy it when the monsters kill each other.
I haf fun with this and god-mod, took a break and letted it just go on and when I came back the damn place was a war-zone full of the ..erm cultists
@FLAME4564
Isn't it obvious? If you use codes you are faster and also cheat at the same time. I also can ran thru levels with codes but I leave it to the people who cant complete game without cheats
Well....good for you.
D'sParil es el mas fuerte de los 3 jinetes, korax es muy débil y Eidolon también...
Так конечно:будь бы у тебя в Еретике Призрачный Проводник или Светоносец,то и Д'Спарил показался бы шушерой.
he looks like Mordekhai the summoner from serious sam lol
ko smo se pelal na gubne pri drenskem rebru
at least know where the idea for the Violator came from!
#5 Wolfenstein 3D (LOTS LOTS LOTS OF SECRETS!!! + epic nazi screams XD)
#4 Strife (it's like Stalker... but cooler)
#3 Duke Nukem 3D (dynamic gameplay + SECRETS, LOTS OF SECRETS)
#2 Hereic/Hexen (Daggerfall GTFO)
#1 Doom (Mars + Hell + Ultra-easy modding = immortal game!!!)
Worst. Boss. Ever.
I mean, spamming teleport? Really? Sounds like a lot of fun. And don't tell me that was fun! That was just annoying as hell. Screw this guy!
Hopefully the guy who got this idea got fired after that...
such bad graphics......heretic 2 was a major improvement from this....but it looks really interesting notheless....imma play it, cuz i just finished heretic 2.
yes,doom is better but this is still fun...but doom is better.
@FLAME4564
can and have completed game with 4th difficult level many times and i think you can complete heretic without codes only on easiest difficult setting. Take that newbie and think twice before you start arguing with gamer who doesnt need codes to complete game :D
