Map description

DM-Legacy is a Deathmatch map from Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict. It's one of the stock maps of the game.

Map description[]

Legacy is a rework of DM-Pyramid from Unreal Tournament. Like its inspiration, it's a multi-level floating pyramid, however, that's where their similarities end, as the pyramid isn't symmetrical, and the no-grav tube at the middle is gone, replaced by stairs, ramps, and jumppads connecting the different levels. Atop of the pyramid there's a goodie and a trap, whoever gets trapped there runs the risk of being fragged.

The lower level of the pyramid is called Lower South. It features two jumppads to level 2 at the southeast and southwest extremes, and a pair of stairs connect this area with the Lower North area. Four jumppads connect this level with two sections: at the northeast and northwest extremes, they send players to the UDamage area, the top of the map, while the two near the central obelisk send players to the Upper South area, located above Lower South. Upper South is connected via a single ramp with the Upper North area, a small ledge located in the fourth level. From this ledge, two jumppads which can only be accessed with (double) jumps connect this area with the very top of the level, the aforementioned UDamage area, a small platform where a pair of very steep ramps lead to the namesake item.

Ascension Rites[]

"This is why you're here, the final round of the Ascension Rites. Now you understand what it was like for your grandmother, and all the great champions in your line. Following Nakhti tradition, this fight is to the death, no time limit. The last kill will be for real; all respawn systems will be deactivated. The winner is crowned Emperor, and the loser will be forgotten by sunset."
Mission description

We see a quick look to the Capitol. Then, we're transported to the Arena's hallways, where both Anubis and Selket are preparing themselves to their final match.

Selket: "Nervous? If you're feeling faint, you should sit down."
Anubis: "I'll manage."

Selket approaches Anubis.

Selket: "Last chance to run. Coward."
Anubis: "The only thing I ever feared was what I saw in your heart. I tested you. And you failed."
Selket: "I failed? You were the one who turned tail and ran."
Anubis: "Your power-mad family arranged our marriage. But I didn't cared about that. I loved you. I left the Tournament to see what you wanted more: an emperor, or a husband."
Selket: "Excuses. You were afraid. Weak."
Anubis: "Believe what you want. Yeah, I left the Tournament. But you left me. And I didn't want to rule without you."
Selket: "I was a foolish girl with a crush. My family stopped me for chasing after you, and I thank them every day."
Anubis: "Your family stopped you?"
Selket: "They're waiting. Time to go."
Anubis: "Let them wait. I've waited for years. We don't have to..."
Selket: "No... more... lies!"

Selket enters to the arena. Anubis as well.

Anubis: "I wish there were another way."

Both of them then are teleported to the arena.

Selket: "The Liandri will lead us out of the dark ages. Tradition means nothing to our people. I am the future now."
Anubis: "They're in for a surprise."
Selket: "The old ways are dead. You'll just have to die along with them."

Win this match to unlock Selket, Anubis, and their ladders.

Epilogue[]

As the rules said, the last shot was for real. Anubis killed her love. He won the crown, but at the same time, he laments every thing he had to do to stop her...

Selket: "You really... loved me?... I wish I had..."

Selket dies.

Robot commentator: "...incredible Ascension Rites comes to a close. Congratulations again to the new emperor. We'll resume daily coverage at the Liandri Grand Tournament in a few weeks."
Malcolm: "Good night everybody"

Anubis is teleported outside of the arena.

Liandri officer: "Emperor Anubis. We have so much to do! There's the coronation, your interview schedule..."
Anubis: "I was here to stop her, not to win. And now I've lost everything."
Liandri officer: "Don't be silly, your ratings are amazing! WE'd be honored to sponsor you in the Grand Tournament."
Anubis: "Fuck your tournament. I'm through."
Liandri officer: "It needn't end this way. She needn't end this way. Not even the Nakhti emperor can afford the Necris process."
Anubis: "But you could... is that what you mean?"
Liandri officer: "Exactly. You keep winning, we keep paying."
Anubis: "A deal with the devil."
Liandri officer: "It's all a matter of perspective."
Anubis: "Do it. I don't deserve to lead these people."
Liandri officer: "No need to worry. We'll take care of things while you're away."

And while Anubis exits from the Arena...

Liandri officer: ""Fuck your tournament". That's perfect! We'll use it in the press release."

Anubis is then crowned emperor of the Nakhti... with a necrified Selket alongside him... and a Liandri officer beside him.

Challenges[]

"This is the perfect chance to show these freaks a lesson, especially that creepy bitch Lilith. She totally copied your look!"
Mission description

Win this match to unlock the LowGrav, LowGravAll and Quad Jump mutators.

Devastation's Ladder[]

"You have now been given permission to unleash your full potential. The Liandri have decided they no longer have any use for Sobek. You will be the first Liandri-constructed champion since Xan Kriegor. Overclock your processors."
Mission description

Selket's Ladder[]

"The Liandri turned on you in the name of higher ratings, and helped Anubis make his way to the finals. In the depths of your heart, this was the match you really wanted. Now is your chance to achieve all of your goals. You'll show the Liandri that you can bring ratings. You'll show Anubis the true meaning of strength. You'll show the Nakhti people that you are the only choice for Empress. And you'll show the Liandri who really has the power."
Mission description

Tips and tricks[]

  • The Nimble combo becomes more useful than ever in this map. Not only it allows you to avoid certain death by trickjumping at the right place, but also opens new paths towards the UDamage.
  • Likewise, characters with the Teleport combo can escape certain death, provided they're quick to input the combo while falling down.
