#HOW TO BEAT THE CYBERDEMON IN DOOM SOFTWARE#

The Cyberdemon remained in stasis until a suitable method of control can be found. Only by removing the Argent implant can the beast be restrained. Repeated attempts to subdue the beast prove unsuccessful as when exhausted, the Cyberdemon simply replenishes its life force from the Accumulator and attacks again with greater ferocity. The symbiotic union of a Baalgar demon found during the second Project Lazarus Manned Expedition (MTC 2148/177) and an Argent Accumulator, this beast is capable of withstanding so much punishment that the creature must be kept in permanent suspended animation.

Who knows what other tricks these devs are gonna play on me? Three Marauders? Two Marauders and a demon-buffing ghost? A Marauder that wants to debate me about what metal bands belong to what esoteric metal subgenres? I wouldn't put anything past id Software at this point, but as long as the intent is in good fun and setting up deliberate, thoughtfully considered challenges with more bark than bite, I'm all for a couple more voluntary wedgies.Considered to be the most significant marker of success in the development of Argent-Organic research, the Cyberdemon is the flagship creation of the Lazarus Project. I still have more of the swamp and the final level to get through, too. I'm not quite grinning from ear to ear this time, a little too exhausted, but I can appreciate id pulling more FPS skill out of me than I thought I had. I burn a 1up or two, but take the jerk down, my reflexes in overdrive from adjusting to the Marauder's much quicker attacks. I have to get up in this guy's face and stay there. There's basically no running from the truth here. I appreciate the small arena here since I can't really get far enough away to trigger the Marauder's dog to spawn, but poisonous plants flank the space, farting out toxic gas if you get too close. The message here: kill the buffed marauder to lower the totem cage. A totem-buffed Marauder that moves at the goddamned speed of light. So I drop down, expecting to press a button to release it, then smash the thing and move on.Д«ut there's no button and no way out of the pit. Around a bend and at the center of a circle-shaped pit: the totem. I run to the far end of the arena, a long trail of juiced-up demons on my ass. So when a totem pops up my old instincts kick in. When you get a buff totem notification, you've gotta drop everything to seek it out and destroy it. If you're unfamiliar, totems buff all the demons in the arena, increasing their speed and attack damage. In the second level of The Ancient Gods, totems make cruel, cruel return. The next bout is just as funny, but not nearly as kind.

Worth it, though I don't think two Marauders and a helpful arena will change the hearts and minds of the Anti-Marauder Brigade. I get through the encounter in one try, proof that the designers don't actually hate me, they just wanted to give me emotional whiplash. There's even some BFG ammo up top if you wanna soften those jerks up. Bouncing back and forth and baiting the big leap attack simplifies things a lot. Mobility is buttressed by some helpful portals, set up at opposite sides of the arena to transport you behind the Marauders for easy kiting. Two tiers makes dashing away from the Marauders and blending up a fodder demon for resources pretty easy. My friend, the developer, just pranked my ass so hard. I nearly die from standing there just watching them, and even after I get Doomguy moving again I panic trying to find the super shotgun key, like a teen fumbling for car keys in a slasher movie.Д«ut take a few deep breaths, study the arena, and it's really not as bad as it looks, tipping the fight from fuck-you territory and safely into the chuckle zone.
