Thanks for so expanded response! And sorry for replying that late (full time job takes much time huh). Yes, I'm playing version 1.0, and monsters spawned by firemace spots seems to be legitible explanation, that's weird mechanics xd. I'm playing default difficulty = 3, and yeah, that's too easy (most likely due to my Doom experience), so I hardly have to use any items or stronger weapons (and – surprisingly – crossbow seems to be most satysfying and fun to use, though it's one of weaker weapons; feels kinda like shotgun from Doom), and since hoarding things is strong instinct inside me when I don't know what I'll meet in following levels I finish most of levels fully stacked :D. After finishing episode 3 (I just finished E3M9) I'll probably play whole game on difficulty = 4. Hm, I checked on Doomwiki, and it says that in e2m9 there are 98 monsters on difficulty = 3 (that's so much less than 121), and 117 on difficulty = 4... it seems that amount of monsters was reduced in Heretic: SotSR in comparison to v1.0. Maybe I'll do some investigation in some time :D (e.g. comparising both WADs in UDB).

Hello there, I'm doomer for few months but it's Heretic that brings me here. Recently I'm playing Heretic for the first time, blind-running everything trying to get 100% kills, items and secrets; intermission screen after E2M9 (in attachment) surprised me - how could I get kills and items counts above upper limits? I didn't find any info about it in the internet. I have suspicion that maybe items dropped from enemies (e.g. Tome of Power from Disciple of D'Sparil in this case) are taken into account, so I got 35/34, but I have no idea about kills count. In attachments there is also save of this game, just step to exit gate. EDIT: additional info - I'm playing heretic.exe in DOSBox. Any guesses? HTICSAV4.rar
