I think I've played a version where Shelleys push Keen around but Korath III Base crashes on Easy difficulty. Maybe a version greater than 1.0 and less than 1.4? -[[User:Qalle|Qalle]] ([[User talk:Qalle|talk]]) 15:19, 30 December 2023 (GMT)

'''Grobs''' are the most fierce inhabitants of Og. These are green floating guys that look a little like ghosts. Be careful, they are mean creatures who especially enjoy attacking heroes and [[Yorp]]s.

This is the [[Vorticon Guard]] replacement in [[Kidnapped Keen]].

PlanetCK

Qalle: link to archived version, formatting

'''PlanetCK''' is a website, run by [[User:Genius314|Genius314]], running from 2005 to 2007.

== History ==

In 2005, [[Xtraverse]] set up a subdomain on [http://www.spatang.com Spatang] to host Genius314's website, PlanetCK. [[User:Grafix|Grafix]] helped with the CSS coding, and the website was quickly set up.
Over the next few months, Genius314 had planned to fill in the pages with information, ranging from basic game info to guides on how to mod. However, he never got around to doing so, and eventually just stopped updating the site.

== Forum ==

The site also featured a forum, powered by [[:wikipedia:phpBB|phpBB]]. It has become a dead place, and most of the posts are from spambots.

== Closing Down ==

Genius314 is planning on removing the site entirely. A main reason for this, besides lack of interest, is the fact that there is now a KeenWiki. His original plan for PlanetCK was to be an all-in-one resource for Keen information. The site will most likely be removed before 2008.

Qalle: word choice, formatting

'''Vitacorp''' is some kind of galactic company that operates in the Milky Way in the [[Commander Keen]] universe.

Vitacorp manufactures several products, two of which are known: Galaxy-demolishing [[Omegamatic]] machines (however, assembly is required), and life-extending health drinks known as [[Vitalin]].

The company is mentioned only in [[Keen 5]]. Its ownership is unknown.

Three-Tooth Lake

2021-09-01T20:54:36Z

Qalle: link target

[[Image:Threetoothlake.png|frame|Keen ashore at Three-Tooth Lake.]]

[[Three-Tooth Lake]] is a lake in the [[Shadowlands]]. Its name comes from the three small islands it encompasses and is a play on the word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident#Etymology trident]. The three islands are:

* [[Isle of Tar]]
* [[Isle of Fire]]
* [[Well of Wishes]]

The lake and its islands are home to many unique creatures in the [[Shadowlands]]. It is only here that Keen will encounter the fiery [[Berkeloid]]s, the underwater dwelling [[Sprite]]s, [[Schoolfish]], and [[Dopefish]], as well as the hazardous [[Underwater Mine]]s.

Two [[Council Member]]s are trapped in the lake area, awaiting rescue. One is found on the [[Isle of Fire]] and the other in the [[Well of Wishes]], making [[Three-Tooth Lake]] a required area to visit in finishing Commander Keen's adventure in the [[Shadowlands]].

[[Image:Dopefishoriginal.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Tom Hall's original [[Dopefish]] sketch.]]

In order to enter the lake, Keen will first need to obtain the [[Wetsuit]] from [[Miragia]]. It's interesting to note that written on the piece of paper containing Tom Hall's original sketch of the [[Dopefish]] are the words, 'Need Trident Power Ψ to go underwater', implying that more supernatural means were originally needed to enter [[Three-Tooth Lake]] (or at very least the [[Well of Wishes]]), and possibly inspiring the lake's name as well.

No diving!

[[Image:Ck4lv17.png|thumb|Map of the Well of Wishes]]
The '''Well of Wishes''' is a level in [[Keen 4]]. It is located on one of the three islands in [[Three-Tooth Lake]], in the [[Shadowlands]] of [[Gnosticus IV]]. Its entrance appears to be a well, and the inside of the level seems to be the watery depths within the well.

The level is interesting in many aspects. It is the only underwater level in the Keen series, and controlling the [[Wetsuit|scuba-diving]] [[Keen]] is radically different in it. The level being underwater, Keen cannot jump or use his [[pogo stick]], and the [[Neural Stunner]] does not work, either. (Note: By pressing the jump key, Keen can gain more speed, though.) Due to it being the only underwater level, it features creatures not seen elsewhere in the game, such as [[Sprite]]s, [[Schoolfish]], and the most famous Keen creature, [[Dopefish]]. There are also [[Underwater Mine]]s that explode on contact.

The level is a huge underwater maze of tunnels, with most of them leading to dead-ends, some containing [[Keen 4 Items|point items]]. Keen has to swim his way around it, and eventually get to a cave where, after a stone door frame, is the [[Council Member]]. This last cave is guarded by one or two Dopefishes, depending on the difficulty level. With two Dopefish, passing through can be a big challenge.

==Miscellaneous info==
* The total points in the Well is '''20,600'''. That means 7 Shikadi Sodas, 22 Three-Tooth Gums, 13 Shikkers Candy Bars and 9 Jawbreakers (700 + 4,400 + 6,500 + 9,000 = 20,600). As an underwater level, ''there are no drops to be collected (unfortunately, there aren't any Doughnuts or Ice Cream Cones either)''. There's '''a single [[Lifewater Flask]]''' near the beginning.

Qalle: /* Keen 2 and 3: v1.32 */ answer

Hi Qalle - thanks for all the updates you're making! Just a note though - please don't worry about uploading new versions of the PNG images optimised with PNGOUT - because the wiki keeps all old images, it's actually making them take up *more* space by having an additional copy of the image on the server! Most of the images are so small anyway it doesn't matter if they take up a few more bytes. (Oh but I just noticed you changed one from RGB to indexed - that's worth doing, they should all be indexed as that matches the original game format.) -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] ([[User talk:Malvineous|talk]]) 22:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

: OK, thanks! -Qalle

Hi, Qalle - please can you upload another version of the Keen 4 levels graphic that includes the BWB Megarocket and that puts the Perilous Pit near the Border Village instead of the Slug Village?--[[User:DarkAle|DarkAle]] ([[User talk:DarkAle|talk]]) 15:25, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

: Thanks, I fixed the arrow pointing to The Perilous Pit (using a text editor; I don't have the tools to add a level). -[[User:Qalle|Qalle]] ([[User talk:Qalle|talk]]) 19:59, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

'''The Mortimer Letter''' is the letter [[Mortimer McMire|Mortimer]] wrote and left for Keen to see aboard [[Omegamatic]]. However, it seems that Keen forgot the letter, as he was later surprised to hear [[Molly McMire|Molly]] saying, in the ending sequence of [[Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter!|Keen 6]] that Mortimer is still alive. The letter is written by using [[Standard Galactic Alphabet]]. Transliterated into the Latin alphabet it looks like this:

Mortimer reveals he has bigger plans than just destroying the Galaxy. He reveals that the [[Mangling Machine]] was just a hoax involving an [[Android Dummy]], and also reveals that he is the Gannalech.

Why Mortimer left Keen the message is unknown. Perhaps he wanted Keen to know that he is going to destroy the Universe before finally doing so, and make Keen see how intelligent his plots are. Perhaps it is another trick, or a way to get Keen go somewhere and then try to kill him there. As [[The Universe Is Toast]] was never made, Mortimer's intentions are not completely clear to fans.

The letter also shows a rather simplistic writing style, more typical of a schoolyard bully than a genius, perhaps revealling something about Mortimer's personality. Despite his alliance with the [[Shikadi]], he seems to dislike them. The letter remains mysterious in many respects.

Qalle: /* Corner missing */ answer

Look what I found! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj7c9-OwGk8

I've never heard of this one before. It looks like you have to press alt right when keen hits the bottom of the block. I'd type something, except I'm not exactly sure how it works. Has anyone else seen this before? -Stealthy71088 March 12, 2007 (4:37 GMT)

:It's that good ol' trick where Keen can get through the tile above him if he's using god mode and flying/pogoing. It only works if the 'corridor' is two blocks high. The pogo has one pixel larger collision rectangle. In this case those blocks just have the property of message popup, and that's why they display that message and then disapper (ie change to that default tile). --[[User:KeenRush|KeenRush]] 19:24, 13 March 2007 (GMT)

Qalle: /* Shoot through the roof */ fix image float

This page lists all the bugs, odd behaviors and unexpected actions that have been discovered in [[Keen 1: Marooned on Mars|Keen 1]].

== Shoot through the roof ==

[[Image:Keen1-ceiling-bug.png|frame|Jumping through the ceiling in [[Border Town]]]]

Keen's [[pogo stick|pogo]] and jump sprites have slightly different hitbox heights; therefore, if [[Commander Keen|Keen]] jumps until just before he hits a ceiling, then pogoes, he will occasionally shoot right through the ceiling on top of it. This only works for ceilings one tile thick. (Though it can be seen with all other ceilings, Keen just will not go through the second row of tiles.) This is easier with [[Keen: Vorticons Cheats|God mode]], but is still difficult to do.

Steps to reproduce:

* Enable [[Keen: Vorticons Cheats|God mode]]
* Jump somewhere you'll hit the roof
* Press pogo right before you hit the roof, it helps to be moving forward

 

== F8 Crash ==

[[Image:Keen1_F8_crash.png|frame|The game has crashed because F8 has been pressed.]]

In version 1.1 of the game, pressing the F8 key would crash the game, showing garbage data on the screen. If pressed inside a level, it will most likely kill [[Commander Keen|Keen]]. If pressed on the [[Mars|map]], it will most likely allow Keen to walk around the garbage tiles.

Steps to reproduce:

* Press the F8 key on version 1.1 of the game (see [[Keen 1 Versions]])

 

== Extra levels ==

[[Image:Keen1_weirdmap.png|frame|One of the extra "levels"]]

By walking off the edge of the world map (cheats required) you can enter "levels" composed of random garbage (although most of which are tile zero), and if you [[Keen: Vorticons Cheats|enable God mode]] and fly up quickly enough you can float around these bizarre levels without dying. These "levels" are actually random locations in memory the engine has tried to interpret as levels. The exact level/memory location is random because once Keen has wandered off the world map he wanders off the valid level data and into whatever data happens to be in memory nearby. Some of these random values will just happen to be the code to enter a level, and most of these will specify invalid levels, thus causing random data to be displayed since no real level data could be loaded.

Sometimes you can even get into the level shown on the [[:Image:Keen 1 title.png|title screen]], as well as the high scores and story screens (although there are much easier ways of doing that, such as renaming the level files.) Pressing "Esc" in the title level will cause it to ask you if you want to quit to DOS.

''[TODO: Link to somewhere explaining how to do this by renaming level files or patching the "title screen" level number.]''

Steps to reproduce:

* Go to the world map (e.g. start a new game)
* Enable [[Keen: Vorticons Cheats|God mode]]
* Keep walking in one direction until Keen disappears off the edge of the screen
* Press Ctrl as if you were trying to enter a level — often this will not do anything, but if you keep walking and pressing Ctrl, you will eventually enter a "level". It may reload the main map, or re-enter a normal level.

== Vorticons ==

It is possible to do many neat things with the [[Vorticons]]. Firstly, you can get past all four without shooting them:

* '''Joystick Guard''': Go to the farthest right edge of the ledge below the exit (the one with a raygun on it). The Vorticon will go off the right edge, and plummet to his death.
* '''Car Battery Guard''': Get the guard to follow you, and make him jump off the platform. Getting the Car Battery should now be easy.
* '''Vacuum Cleaner Guard''': Get the Vorticon to jump on the blue cylinders, and run underneath him, through the door. Alternately, stand on the blue cylinders and let the guard run underneath you.
* '''Everclear Guard''' (the [[Vorticon Commander]]): It is not necessary to drop the falling rock on the Vorticon Commander. You can pass him by either jumping over him, or waiting for him to jump and then run under him. The first way is easier. Be careful to collect the [[Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket|Everclear]] afterwards by jumping to the other side of the exit door, as without collecting it you will be left stranded on [[Mars]] after exiting the level.
** You can also kill the Vorticon Commander with 105 shots. If you save your ammunition, there is enough in the game to allow you to do this. Alternatively, you can repeatedly play a level in which you can get ammo and an extra Keen by collecting points, and then die, and repeat as many times as you need to, while the extra Keen keeps you from getting a game over. A more interesting way to obtain a lot of ammo quickly might be to play all other levels than [[Red Maze City]] (and [[Vorticon Commander's Castle]] because the Everclear Guard is there) and collect points to get a lot of extra Keens (while keep from dying and losing them) and use ammo sparingly, then go to Red Maze City, collect the 3 rayguns at the beginning of the level, die at the first garg, repeat. Using this method, for example 60 shots can be collected by losing four Keens.

Vorticons also have a bad habit of jumping too close to a wall, and becoming stuck. They can jump straight up in the air, but are unable to free themselves horizontally from the wall itself. Based on some experimentation, the bug appears to be caused by a mixture of the vorticon's programmed movement, and the area of the sprite. There is currently no way to fix this bug, although modders have been trying to do so for quite some time.

== Stuck yorp and inaccessible book ==

[[Image:Keen1_inaccessible_book.png|frame|A level design bug in [[Secret City]].]]

In [[Secret City]], there is an area close to the top-left corner that you cannot access as the entrance is only one tile high. This makes a book unobtainable and a yorp stuck in place.

'''Atroxian Realm''' is a major [[Keen 4]] [[mod]] released in its completed form on the 16th of January 2016 by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]]. This project, in progress for five years, with multiple collaborators from the Commander Keen community, was dubbed "the largest Keen mod that's been made to date" by its author, a claim that no-one has yet disputed.

== Story ==
This mod follows the story of an adventure involving Commander Keen who is summoned by the Krile, native inhabitants of the planet Krisle. The Krile are in distress, as the robotic Atroxians have invaded their planet and begun to inflict a dark terraforming programme upon Krisle, using their deadly Realm Reactor. This adventure leads Keen through a myriad of rural and industrial settings leading ultimately to the fabled [[The Great Ziggurat|Great Ziggurat]].

[[The Sky Sanctum]] is the final level of [[Atroxian Realm]], a [[Keen 4]] [[mod]] by [[user:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

After meeting with [[Elder Caraanae-Augustrus Krislen]] in [[The Great Ziggurat]], Commander Keen is flown to an ancient stone temple sitting atop a rock mesa. This hallowed building is known as the Sky Sanctum, a religious temple built by the Krile many centuries ago. Once this building was a beautiful golden palace, but it is now blackened and corrupted by the power of the [[Realm Reactor]] which was constructed on top of the temple by the evil robot [[Atroxus]] in order to bring the realm of Atroxians to [[Krisle|Planet Krisle]].

The Elder had mentioned to Keen that a few Krile delegates were sent to the Sanctum to establish contact with Atroxus, but they did not return. Upon entering the temple, Keen learns the horrible truth about these poor souls, they were [[Guard Drone|possessed by the robots]] and now mindlessly patrol the halls along with [[Magmine]]s, [[Atroxian]]s, [[Atroxite]]s and a few corrupted [[Krile Sentry|Krile Sentries]].

Reaching the top of the temple will be incredibly dangerous, but if Keen can do it, he will come face to face with [[Atroxus]] and battle for the fate of Planet Krisle!

[[The Great Ziggurat]] is a level in the [[Keen 4]] mod [[Atroxian Realm]] by [[user:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

After Commander Keen emerges from [[The Catacombs]] he looks up to see that, towering above Kridonea City, is an enormous stepped pyramid. This is the Great Ziggurat, where [[Elder Caraanae-Augustrus Krislen]] has taken refuge from the slaughter brought on by the Atroxians. To reach the Elder, Keen must descend into the chambers within the ornately decorated pyramid and survive four challenges. Each challenge guards a [[Gems|gem]] which will open one of the doors to the Elder's inner chamber, where Keen can hopefully find a way to reach the [[Sky Sanctum]] and finally defeat [[Atroxus]]!

[[Elder Caraanae-Augustrus Krislen]] will be encountered in this level, as well as a few lonely [[Beetlebone]]s.

[[The Catacombs]] is a level in the [[Keen 4]] mod [[Atroxian Realm]] by [[user:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

After escaping the burning wreckage of the [[Kridonea Ruins]], Commander Keen must descend into the ancient sewer system below the city and find his way through. This labyrinth of doors, tunnels, and putrid pools of waste is deadly and confusing, and it can be quite easy to become hopelessly lost. There are tales of Krile citizens who wandered into the Catacombs only to get lost and never return, their restless [[Krile Ghost|spirits]] are cursed to wander the tunnels forever looking for the way out.

Several robots have found their way into these tunnels including [[Atroxian]]s, [[Atroxite]]s, [[Axosis]], and [[Axoclaw]]. Keen should also beware the hungry maw of the [[Beetlebone]]s which lurk in the sewage pools, waiting to pounce and devour anything that passes by.

The '''Security Layer''' is a mandatory level in [[Atroxian Realm]], a [[Keen 4]] mod by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

The [[Security Layer]] is a complex of three large buildings that were built to guard the [[Atroxian Base]]. The buildings are tall, maze-like, and extremely dangerous. Green lazers fire from all directions, spikes litter the ground, and Atroxian robots swarm all over this deadly checkpoint. As Commander Keen enters the Security Layer he will encounter a fearsome flying robot called the [[Axoclaw]], and as he makes his way through the Security Layer he will also have to battle [[Atroxian]]s and [[Atroxite]]s. There is a small cave system running under the building complex through which Keen can enter the buildings, but these caves are also extremely well guarded by Atroxian threats! If Keen can make it through the Security Layer, he will reach the [[Atroxian Base]] and hopefully be able to shut down the 2nd generator that guards access to Kridonea City.

The [[Realm Reactor]] is where Commander Keen's final battle will take place in [[Atroxian Realm]]!

Battling his way through [[The Sky Sanctum]], facing numerous deadly foes along the way, Commander Keen at last climbs to the very top of the ancient building. Amid the pits of scalding blue flames and the blackened Krile statues that decorate the top of the Sanctum lies a giant blue crystal. This is the Realm Reactor, the massively powerful energy machine used by [[Atroxus]] to bring the evil Atroxian Realm to Planet [[Krisle]]. As Keen approaches the Reactor, a massive shadow hovers menacingly above him...

Port Atrox is an industrial shipping center built over the water on Planet [[Krisle]] by the Atroxian robots. This building is large and very complex, and as Commander Keen navigates through the port he will need to pay attention to the many [[Indicator]]s to keep from getting lost.
[[Atroxite]]s and [[Atroxian]]s patrol the building and piers, but Port Atrox also has many areas with deadly spikes and falls into open water. If Keen can manage to find his way through the maze-like Port, he'll find a switch to operate the bridges that will lead to many new areas of Planet Krisle.

'''Murky Marsh''' is the third level of [[Atroxian Realm]], a [[Keen 4]] mod by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

After making his way through the [[Dark Swamp]], Keen comes across a river of acidic water that runs through the Southwestern swampland of Planet Krisle. The only way to cross the river is by going through the Murky Marsh, a swampy labyrinth full of peril and danger. To get through, Keen will have to find his way across pools of acid water, brave the local wildlife (including the [[Larvbat]] and [[Dartfrog]]), and explore deep into the vast underground cave system of this wild and untamed place. A spider-like robot called [[Atroxite]] can be found deep in the caves, the first sign of a robot invasion that is taking place on Krisle. Many dead-ends, dangers, hidden passages and secrets await in Murky Marsh, Keen will need to keep his wits about him to survive!

If Commander Keen manages to get through the Murky Marsh, he will then have two options. He can either take on [[Brithom Bog]], or brave the [[Larvae Lagoon]].

Murky Marsh is the first level in which a [[Checkpoint]] can be found, a very handy tool that will aide Keen on his dangerous quest to save Planet [[Krisle]]!

North of the river crossing at [[Murky Marsh]] is a body of water, in the center of which is a tree-covered island that is home to an immense living organic structure. This place is known as the Larvae Lagoon. A cavernous system of caves and underground water pools, this slimy labyrinth is where the [[Larvbat]]s breed and raise their young. These flying creatures infest this place, and their larval offspring can be seen hanging from the ceiling and walls in differing stages of metamorphosis. Keen will even have to fight a crawling cocoon version of these larvbat offspring called a [[Larvac]]. A few [[Dartfrog]]s make their home around the cave entrance, and the [[Atroxite]] can occasionally be found deeper below ground.

The Larvae Lagoon is a wild and natural place with some hidden tunnels and secrets, and Commander Keen will need to explore his way through in order to continue on his way to stop the Atroxian threat!

Krisle

Qalle: fix filename

[[Image:Atroxian Realm - Level 00.png|thumb|403px|Map of [[Krisle]].]] [[Image:AR_scrolling_text.png|thumb|320px|Planet [[Krisle]] as seen at the intro screen in [[Atroxian Realm]].]]
[[Krisle]] is the world on which [[Atroxian Realm]] takes place, a [[Keen 4]] mod by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

Commander Keen's adventure on Planet Krisle begins after his [[BWB Megarocket Crash Site|BWB Megarocket]] is shot down by a swarm of robots. Forced to crash-land, he crawls from the wreckage of his ship to find himself in a swampy forest in the southwest of this new world.

After meeting one of the strange inhabitants of this land, Keen sets off into the night to find and destroy the being responsible for the robot invasion of the planet. The quest to defeat [[Atroxus]] will take him through dark mysterious swamps, a vast crystal cavern under a mountain range, primitive forest-lands, well guarded Atroxian bases, the gruesome ruins of [[Kridonea Ruins|Kridonea City]], and eventually to the corrupted [[The Sky Sanctum|Sky Sanctum]] where Commander Keen's most dangerous enemy yet is waiting, ready to battle for control of Planet Krisle!

==The Swampland==
The entire Western region of Krisle is a swampland, thick with tall grey trees and lush green undergrowth. Much like Earth, Krisle seems to have a very watery surface with rivers and streams flowing throughout the landscape and nourishing the vast plant-life here, in many places flowing underground and carving out vast cave systems deep under the planet's surface. The Western swampland of Krisle is a wild and natural place completely untamed by any kind of civilization, and is home to many species of plant and animals which thrive in this environment.

==The Mountains==
A great mountain range dominates the South-East, heaved up from the ground through millions of years of geologic processes. Under these mountains there is an enormous cave which is formed from the crystalline rock that naturally occurs here. All sizes and colors of crystal can be found in this cavern, perhaps that could explain the extensive mining operation the [[Atroxian|Atroxians]] have set up here...

==Kridonea City==
Krisle is home to all kinds of evolved life but one species has evolved to be as intelligent as Earth's Humans, perhaps even more-so.
These bird-like beings call themselves the Krile. [[Kridonea Ruins|Kridonea City]] is their home, built in the north-east of the region. Constructed from quarried stone, the buildings in Kridonea are set atop tall pillars which hold each building high above the ground, and in the center of the city is the [[The Great Ziggurat|Great Ziggurat]] where the Krile elders meet to govern their people. These people, the Krile, were a kind and friendly race of alien being, peacefully inhabiting their beautiful city. And then the robot invasion began...

==The Atroxian Realm==
Approaching Planet Krisle, Commander Keen saw what appeared to be three massive hurricanes swirling over the surface of the planet. As he drew closer, he realized these are not hurricanes, but three massive swarms of robots! After being [[BWB Megarocket Crash Site|shot down]] by these robots, Keen learns that an evil being named [[Atroxus]] has invaded Planet Krisle with his robotic army, taking over the Krile temple known as the [[The Sky Sanctum|Sky Sanctum]] and using it's power to unleash a malevolent realm of Atroxian robots onto this peaceful world.

This invasion is destroying Krisle's environment and slaughtering it's people. Atroxus must be stopped and brought to justice, but who is bold enough to try? Who is brave enough to battle an entire realm of evil robots?

Commander Keen. That's who.

The [[Krilewood Forest]] is a required level in the [[Keen 4]] mod [[Atroxian Realm]] by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

In the central area of Planet [[Krisle]] grows a dense redwood forest. The trees here are massive, growing thousands of feet tall and hundreds of years old, and provide home to several species of plant and animal life. Short brown mushrooms cover the forest floor, and giant red flowers grow on vines that hang from the branches of the trees. These flowers produce a sweet nectar that attracts the residents of the nearby [[Hornet Hive]], Keen must beware the many [[Hornet]]s patrolling the tree branches, ground areas and small caves in this area! Krilewood is a natural and beautiful forest, but even here the robots have invaded, and as Keen makes his way through he will need to avoid the spinning electric blades of [[Axosis]].

The Krilewood Forest is a necessary location, as Keen will have to pass through here to reach the bridge control switch located in [[Port Atrox]] and open the bridge to the [[Atroxian Base]].

Once a beautiful home to the many Krile, this place now lies completely wrecked after the Atroxian robots invaded. Most of the buildings have been destroyed and the burning wreckage is now swarming with [[Atroxian]]s, [[Axosis|Axosii]], [[Axoclaw]]s, [[Atroxite]]s, and [[Magmine]]s. First, Keen will need to make his way through the southern half of the ruins, which are mostly empty buildings except for the robots.

The northern half of the Kridonea Ruins is more dangerous, crawling with evil robots and littered with the [[Krile Ghost|corpses of the Krile]] who bravely tried to fight for their city. The Kridonea Ruins are an extremely deadly place, but if Keen can get through he will be much closer to his final battle with [[Atroxus]]!

The [[Kridonea Gateway]] is a level in the [[Keen 4]] mod [[Atroxian Realm]] by [[user:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

The entrance to Kridonea City is guarded by the city's gateway, a large brick building consisting of endless hallways and corridors which eventually lead to the acidic sewer system that runs under the city. This place is a large maze with many secrets, dangers and dead-ends, and can be quite difficult to navigate. [[Atroxian]]s and [[Atroxite]]s lurk in a few areas, several [[Krile Sentry|Krile Sentries]] stand guard against intruders, and deep within the sewers lies a voracious new threat known as [[Beetlebone]]. If Keen can survive the many perils of the Kridonea Gateway, he will at last find his way to the gruesome ruins of Kridonea City, where the [[Great Ziggurat]] awaits.

The [[Hornet Hive]] is an optional level in the [[Keen 4]] mod [[Atroxian Realm]] by [[User:Gridlock|Gridlock]].

In the deepest part of the redwood forest, far to the east, lies an enormous Hornet Hive. Only one creature inhabits this labyrinth, the [[Hornet]]. These giant insects have burrowed into the ground among the trees and created a disorienting maze of tunnels, honeycombs, and larvae, all of which adds up to a bad day for Commander Keen! Aside from the hornets themselves, giant yellowish larvae cling to the tunnel walls in many areas, highly poisonous if touched.

If Keen can survive the many gruesome threats and explore his way to the bottom of this hive, a great and ancient secret may lie waiting... a passage to the [[Crystal Sanctuary|secret sanctuary of the Krile]]!
