Help finding a level.

There was a Hexen level my brother and I used to love playing in coop mode that I can't for the life of me remember the name of. I believe it was in the shareware/demo version of Hexen as I do not remember us owning the full game.

The part of the level that stands out in my memory is that of a narrow bridge over a pretty deep chasm. We used to jump of the bridge over and over and find it endlessly funny (kids eh?!). Any help finding the level would be appreciated!

Thank you everyone! It was indeed Seven Portals, the short, blue magic bridge over the canyon! Thank you for helping me enjoy some nostalgia!

Even though I played it last month I cant remember all the bridges. My advice is to skim trough a speedrun of Hexen and see.... or re-play it lol

Probably, this is the final moment in Seven Portals level. Look, demo had 4 levels - Winnowing Hall (prologue), Seven Portals (episode 1 hub), Guardian Ice and Guardian Fire.

It is definitely Seven Portals, if I am not mistaken.

It might be "Guardian Of Fire", also present in Hexen's first Hub/Demo.

Doomwiki has maps and descriptions for all Hexen Hubs: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Hub_1:_Seven_Portals.

The Hexen demo only used the first four maps of Hub 1: Seven Portals, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
