Don't know what to do when you're transformed into a clucking chicken? Need some quick tips to help you out of those sticky situations? Before you seek out your next adventure, be sure to arm yourself with these protective strategies.

Bye, bye birdie
If an opponent uses the Morph Ovum spell on you, and turns you into a chicken, you will be reduced to only ONE health point. Basically if someone even looks at you hard, you will die. So what's a chicken to do? Run away! But don't just run, JUMP too! By repeatedly tapping your jump key, you will flap up into the air, and you can FLY! By zigging and zagging and changing altitude, you can make it much more difficult for the bad guys to cook your goose.
Chicken by the book
If you get turned into a chicken in a Deathmatch, your Tome of Power can provide a quick pick-me-up. If you have enough blue (defensive) mana (about 75% is what you need), simply "Tome Up" and you'll no longer feel down on your cluck.
Holy chicken Batman!
The other way to cure yourself of those steadily depressing low down mind messing feeling like a chicken blues, is to scurry as fast as your tiny legs will go to the nearest Sidhe shrine (any kind will do). When you receive the blessing, you will feel like your elfish self in no time.
Throbbing Headache #1
Practice your Staffwork. If you can hit an opponent in the head with your staff it will be an instant fatality, no matter how much health or armor they may have.
Give that man a hand!
Been in a staff fight recently and notice something missing...like an arm or two?? If you lose an arm, you will begin to bleed to death. But don't let blood loss ruin your score. Run, don't walk, to the nearest Spirit (aka health) shrine for a quick fix. If necessary, grab health potions along the way to extend your range.
Get a jump on the competition
Don't forget that if you run toward an opponent, and jump while you have the staff in your hand, you will pole-vault into them doing a surprising amount of damage. Also if you upgrade your version of Heretic 2 with the Enhancement Pack available on Activision's Web site, you will also be able to use a devastating downward stab attack (Use key + Staff attack) which does 250% damage.
What goes around...
Use your lowly Ring of Repulsion spell in Deathmatch! With it, you can bounce Phoenix arrows right back at your attacker!
Don't forget your defensive spell Teleport!
Use it to get out of tight spots in a hurry!
The Revenge of the Chicken!
Just because you have been turned into a chicken doesn't mean you are out of the fight. Don't forget that you can still use your defensive spells as a chicken, and some of them do a lot of damage. Try Meteor Barrier or Lightning Shield while flying around for a little revenge of the chicken!
Oh NO...Super Chicken!
You just changed your opponent into a helpless chicken...or so you thought. Now you're faced with one very large problem. Quickly now, you have only seconds to live. Hit him with the chicken spell a second time! He will turn back into his normal elfish self, which is bad enough, but at least it's better than Super Chicken. Not enough mana, you say? One chicken dinner to go...
I want more!
