Spear of Destiny Questline
The retail Wolfenstein 3D prequel: get the Spear back from the Nazis.
Spear of Destiny is the additional Wolfenstein 3D episode that FormGen released as a stand-alone retail game in 1992, separate from the six shareware-model episodes. It is a prequel mission in which Blazkowicz tries to recapture the Spear of Destiny after the Nazis stole it from Versailles. FormGen later produced two "mission pack" sequels, Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge, in which the Spear is stolen again as part of plots to build a nuclear weapon or summon demons and Blazkowicz fights through another Nazi base to recover it. The 2009 comic adaptation recreates its final battle, in which B.J. fights the cybernetic Death Knight and the Angel of Death for control of the Spear. General Deathshead has no part in it; he was introduced in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
