Radiation suit without purpose in area 13

Open fonic opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

In area 13, there is a hidden/secret radiation suit (see screenshots below). However, there is no actual use for it anywhere within the map afaict.

There are two hazardous areas in the map:

  • a small area in front of a demon portrait (nothing to do there and trivial to avoid)
  • an 'outdoor' area with toxic green waste (but nothing to discover/gain there either)

Thus, I wonder if the placement of that radiation suit was a mistake - was it maybe supposed to be a different item, e.g. a soulsphere would make much more sense?

It's a leftover.. The hazardous areas in the original map got removed when the game was being ported to Jaguar/32X

Interesting. Makes sense. Is that a well-known fact or how do you know? Probably from comparing the map to the original?

It could still be changed to something more useful though.
