Depending on the playstyle, monster mix, and character setup, catacombs can actually be more dangerous than Hell. Why? Hiddens. If you play a low armor character who relies on keeping enemies at a distance, the stronger breeds of hidden can be a death sentence, since they won't appear until they're almost on you. There are ways to detect hiddens, or you could just play in an area that doesn't have them (like Hell), or you could seek out a higher armor partner to take the punches for you.
