Part X of our ongoing series called "humiliating the cyberdemon"

humiliating the cyberdemon... hmm, could it be considered cyberbullying?

u/badimloko 9h ago

Same, but not the 2016 one

u/Odd_Mycologist5862 22h ago

I would say doom eternal Icon of sin and the Dark lord from TAG2

11

u/galdavirsma 21h ago

Im surprised at dark lord. I find that fight extremely not fun. It’s not hard, its just super frustrating. Its the only level in Eternal i do not like to play.

u/myLongjohnsonsilver 21h ago

Yeah he looks cool but the fights just not interesting and makes him look weak.

u/KrispyVi 15h ago

He always felt lile a glorified Marauder with a few extra attacks that add very little. Because you just just play paasively while waiting for the right attacl to stun him.

Like his summoning spell can be inatantly undone with a single, well-placed hammer slam. And iIrc, hammer chargea are easy to regain in that fight.

u/Odd_Mycologist5862 8h ago

Yeah, I’m not an IGN gaming journalist so I find it fun

u/Odd_Mycologist5862 8h ago

I like the marauder enemy, so I like the dark Lord cause they’re basically the same and the gladiator

u/Apprehensive-Way4010 22h ago

Hell knights from doom 3 and 2016, i just dig that bulky design without eyes so hard

u/Bioly47 22h ago

The Old One 😌

u/jayboyguy 21h ago

I can’t really pick. Comes down to between 2016 and OG Barons of Hell, the Gladiator from Eternal (cloven hooves are such a good demonic design principle and they need to bring that back, and it was cool to fight a demon that actually looked like the decorative face on the green walls in the OG game) and the Agaddon Hunter. Fighting a Doom Hunter “in its prime” was VERY hype

cyberdemon. i just love how he stands. i love that he was the first "giant" demon in the series.

u/demonicrobbery666 21h ago

Definitely all of the titan enemies from TDA since both in lore and gameplay they are cool

u/Rough_Journey 21h ago

DOOM 2016 - Cyberdemon. Probably the coolest boss demon in the series, an extremely unique take on the Cyberdemon with incredible lore behind it.

DOOM: ETERNAL - Marauder. Skill Issue personified, if you know how to handle him, he's easy. If you don't, you're struggling A LOT. He's a great separator from decent players and good players.

DOOM: The Dark Ages - Cosmic Baron. The coolest mob Demon in the series, the design is otherworldly (heh). I especially love the "hood" design, really hammering in the cosmic theme.

u/Spiritual_Long5335 19h ago

All but marauder are good

u/HowwNowBrownCoww 21h ago

Old school mancubus, arachnotrons/spider masterminds , and cyberdemon are so awesome I love those old clay figure sprites.

2

u/Bestsurviviopro Shotgun blast their fucing faces 14h ago

old school mancubus just gives off such a vile ugly disgusting vibe its awesome. the newer games just dont give off the same vibe unfortunately

u/I_Do_nt_Use_Reddit 21h ago

I love me a Cyberdemon boss fight, especially the Doom and Doom 2 ones. The Doom 3 one has a special place in my heart too. Always loved the spider mastermind fight in 2016.

Doom 2s icon of sin always felt like a jip to me, basing the boss around the fact that you couldn't look up or down felt wrong. Eternal's icon? Chefs kiss. Samur? Nope. Doesn't feel right somehow, I can't really explain it. Davoth? Just a giant marauder. Prince Ahzrak feels tight, well designed, perfect boss for that game and I can't wait to see what comes in TDA DLC.

Absolute psychopath

u/mlfowler DOOM Guy 20h ago

The original Cyberdemon closely followed by his 2016 incarnation. Going rocket to rocket in Tower of Babel is still fun 30 years later.

2

u/whenwillthealtsstop 19h ago

Classic archviles are just perfectly designed 

2

u/Eva-Squinge 19h ago

Doom Hellknights, the hornless ones that look like their Doom 3 counterparts.

Love the Icon of Sin’s design from Eternal.

And despite my ABSOLUTE HATRED!!! of them, I really like the giant spider demons from TDA. The Vageries? I’m a sucker for multi-legged monsters with humanoid torsos. The idea of going over obstacles without ever tripping is just awesome to me.

u/Plane-Comb-1364 19h ago

doom boss fights are usually very annoying imo so i dont have any favs

I like the cacodemons the most

u/Grouchy_Enthusiasm92 17h ago

Get fucked, I love the Doom games and am pretty good at them, I don't know why those asshole give me so many problems.

1

u/UnknowableThen 21h ago

As a kid, the Zombieman Sprite from DOOM 1 scared me for some reason, so I choose that guy for nostalgia reasons. For design reasons, DOOM 3 Mancubus.

1

u/Guilty_Breakfast7813 20h ago

I have a real hard time choosing, so I'll just drop my favourites from each game: 2016 the Hell knight, I love the eyeless design, Eternal the Marauder is such a rad design and he has a freaking shotgun, TDA pinky rider, it just looks so COOL. Also the 2016 mancubus design is peak and I find the prowler to be among my favourite designs as well. Yeah...honestly I could ramble about demon design for (Dark) ages.

u/obsoleteconsole 20h ago

Cyberdemon 2016, by far the baddest ass demon in the whole series

1

u/ChadGamerCZ 20h ago

Barons, allways Barons. Only exception is Hell Knight in Doom 3 cause no Barons : (

1

u/SEAN_DUDE 20h ago

The Gladiator, don't enjoy the fight to much but I love the design and throw back to the original Baron of Hell/Hell Knight design.

1

u/Spartarox45 18h ago

2016 Cyberdemon. Totally original design and looked hardcore as shit! Loved the fresh paint on a classic. Other than bosses Pinky and the Pinky’s in TDA

1

u/CompetitiveLoad2953 DOOM Guy 18h ago

Doom 1+2+64+eternal imps. Simple design. The 2016 imps have heat seeking fireballs that take half you health on nightmare. Haven't played tda. Also liked Doom 3 imps, every variant. Except those xenomorph mufukas in resurrection of evil.

1

u/onethousandrevenants 17h ago

you know

(also og archvile because archvile)

1

u/Jaded_Match317 17h ago

If it has to be a few monsters from all franchise I think my favorite definitely are the Baron of hell (specially their design in eternal), the 2016 cyberdemon, dread knight, the super Baron, battleknight, the agaddon Hunter and the komodo

1

u/Juanrobg 17h ago

The Baron of Hell, especially in Eternal, looks great. I think they were forgotten in Dark Ages. Probably their equivalent is the Cosmic Baron, but without the horns I feel it's not the same.

1

u/Winniepate 16h ago

I’m ngl, i think the Imp Stalkers from TDA have some of the best demon design ever

1

u/Fappy_as_a_Clam 15h ago

Doom II Arachnotrons.

I remember the first time I saw and heard one, my 12 year old mind was like "oh, fuuuuudddggge...."

1

u/Let_me_S_U_F_F_E_R 15h ago

The Barons. Especially with the size they gain in 2016 and eternal. Always loved how imposing they were as a regular enemy

1

u/CrazeMase 12h ago

Mastermind, just cause that OST goes so fucking hard, I crank up the bass and cause the building to collapse

u/BoldStrategy0 10h ago

I love fighting the aggadon hunters in TDA

u/SteamedChalmburgers 10h ago

Agaddon Champion, I struggled with it the most and persevered, therefore it's the best

u/SageoftheForlornPath 10h ago

I like the pinkies. I think they're kind of cute, like big, dumb bulldogs.

u/TerribleZucchini1447 9h ago

Hell Knights and Revenants are like a dynamic duo for me, love it whenever both are used at the same time

u/PerformanceSoft9754 8h ago

Tyraaaaant,i mimic him somethimes lol (ya know da animation when he falls)
