The level shot for Tomb
Tomb is the final part of the Dark Secret mission of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Mission Briefing[]
Residents of Wulfburg call this "The Defiled Church". It apparently has a rather sordid history dating back 1000 years. Over the ages it has been rumored to have been used for a number of occult ceremonies. Rumors aside, we do know that Helga von Bulow and her SS Paranormal Division team are there now. We do not know what they are planning, so it is imperative that you investigate and recover as much intelligence information as possible.
A word of caution; the Kreisau Circle has reported that Helga von Bulow's "Elite Guard" is made up of a small group of extremely capable women who have been trained to an exceptionally high level, both physically and with small arms. They also reportedly bound together as part of a witch's coven.
Objectives[]
- Eliminate Helga von Bulow (as von Bulow is already dead at this point, the objective technically changes to that of destroying Olaric).
- Retrieve the "Dagger of Warding" for further study.
Walkthrough[]
Stock up in the underground crypt area you start in, then leave it to face Olaric. Olaric functions like a tougher version of a mummy: he approaches you, and will summon ghostly skeletons to attack you. However, he will never follow you into the underground area, and generally stay in the courtyard. Simply dispose of the undead in your way, and then fire at Olaric while standing next to the crypt. As soon as Olaric starts conjuring up his ghost skeletons, retreat and reload. Repeat this process until he falls.
Trivia[]
- In addition to killing Olaric, all zombies in the level must be killed to complete the mission.
- In the Operation Resurrection version of this level, the zombies die when Olaric dies.
- The objective "Eliminate Helga von Bulow" caused many players to think that Olaric was Helga, as though she had mutated into Olaric.
- This is one of two missions in Return to Castle Wolfenstein where no human enemies are fought.
