The '''Inhilicon's Wings of Wrath''' is an [[artifact]] that appears in [[Heretic]] and [[Hexen]]. It looks like a golden skull with bat wings.  Activating Wings of Wrath allows the player to fly.  In Heretic, it is a time-limited powerup.  In Hexen, however, the Wings are reusable until the player exits the current [[hub]]; the player can press the Home key to drop to the ground and walk, and subsequently press PageUp to reactivate the Wings and start flying again.

Unlike other artifacts in both games, the Wings of Wrath may never be transferred between levels (except different parts of a single hub, in Hexen). If a player leaves a level in Heretic or a hub in Hexen with a Wings of Wrath artifact, the artifact will be lost. For other artifacts, the player can only transport one of each kind between levels, so if a player has two Tomes of Power, for example, one will be lost.

The '''Inhilicon's Wings of Wrath''' is an [[artifact]] that appears in [[Heretic]] and [[Hexen]]. It looks like a golden skull with bat wings. Activating Wings of Wrath allows the player to fly. In Heretic, it is a time-limited powerup that lasts for 60 seconds. In Hexen, however, the Wings are reusable until the player exits the current [[hub]]; the player can press the Home key to drop to the ground and walk, and subsequently press the "fly up" key to reactivate the Wings and start flying again. While the Wings of Wrath are active, an icon appears in the top corner of the screen which spins while the player is flying and stops spinning when the player drops down and starts walking. In Heretic only, the icon will start blinking when the wings are about to expire.

Unlike other artifacts in both games, the Wings of Wrath may not ordinarily be transferred between levels (except different parts of a single hub, in Hexen). If a player leaves a level in Heretic or a hub in Hexen with a Wings of Wrath artifact, the artifact will usually be lost. For other artifacts, the player can only transport one of each kind between levels in Heretic, and up to the maximum of 25 in Hexen.
* In Hexen, a deadly fall can be escaped by activating Wings of Wrath. When the flight power kicks in, the player is suspended in midair and can fly to safety.

+
However, a glitch does exist, in Heretic only, which can be activated on any map which contains more than one Wings of Wrath artifact. If the player currently has the power of flight activated via using one of the wings when the level is exited, then the code responsible for trying to remove the wings from the player's inventory at level exit will fail to execute properly. Instead, the amount of Wings of Wrath being carried will be set to one, and the player will start the next level with them. This can be abused to perform minor sequence breaking.

If the player presses the "fly up" key when the wings are not active, they will be automatically used if the artifact is in the player's inventory.

The Wings of Wrath in Heretic E2M1: The Crater, with the wings also in the player's inventory.
The Wings of Wrath being used to safely fly over a deadly chasm in Hexen.

The Inhilicon's Wings of Wrath is an artifact that appears in Heretic and Hexen. It looks like a golden skull with bat wings. Activating Wings of Wrath allows the player to fly. In Heretic, it is a time-limited powerup that lasts for 60 seconds. In Hexen, however, the Wings are reusable until the player exits the current hub; the player can press the Home key to drop to the ground and walk, and subsequently press the "fly up" key to reactivate the Wings and start flying again. While the Wings of Wrath are active, an icon appears in the top corner of the screen which spins while the player is flying and stops spinning when the player drops down and starts walking. In Heretic only, the icon will start blinking when the wings are about to expire.

Unlike other artifacts in both games, the Wings of Wrath may not ordinarily be transferred between levels (except different parts of a single hub, in Hexen). If a player leaves a level in Heretic or a hub in Hexen with a Wings of Wrath artifact, the artifact will usually be lost. For other artifacts, the player can only transport one of each kind between levels in Heretic, and up to the maximum of 25 in Hexen.

However, a glitch does exist, in Heretic only, which can be activated on any map which contains more than one Wings of Wrath artifact. If the player currently has the power of flight activated via using one of the wings when the level is exited, then the code responsible for trying to remove the wings from the player's inventory at level exit will fail to execute properly. Instead, the amount of Wings of Wrath being carried will be set to one, and the player will start the next level with them. This can be abused to perform minor sequence breaking.

If the player presses the "fly up" key when the wings are not active, they will be automatically used if the artifact is in the player's inventory.

This item is included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level in Heretic.

Strategies

  • In Hexen, a deadly fall can be escaped by activating Wings of Wrath. When the flight power kicks in, the player is suspended in midair and can fly to safety.
