Trivia[]

  • In the Painkiller Design Document, Catacombs was supposed to be only available on Nightmare and Trauma difficulties, which would have made a lot more sense because of the Proto Vamp.
  • Part of the Catacombs level is modeled on the Catacomb of Calllixtus Complex, that is in the ancient Roman catacombs, the meeting place and burial of Christians.
