3. Drop pilgrimage_v210.pk3 and any other .pk3/.wad files in the same folder.

Step 2 — Install GZDoom (or Source Port)

• If for DOOM, get GZDoom.
• If for Quake, get Ironwail or DarkPlaces.

Key Features of v210

• Improved Stability: Fixed a notorious crash in the "Flooded Crypt" segment present in v208.
• Two Difficulty Paths: "Pilgrim" (original punishing experience) vs. "Wanderer" (more lantern oil and checkpoints).
• Subtitles & Notes: Full closed captions for the hearing impaired, a first for this mod series.
• Messman’s Signature Pacing: A slow-burn opening that escalates into relentless tension – v210 balances this better than any prior version.
