The Forgotten Portals is a single-level PWAD for Heretic, designed by Ken Phipps and released in January 2000. The Forgotten Portals is a hub-styled map that connects multiple areas into one single cohesive progression that requires the player to visit all to progress to the final exit. Order is irrelevant. It has a variety of different scenarios that include snowy areas, savannah-like plains, marble fortresses, and gothic buildings.
