DOOM: ETERNAL

One of the worst boss fights I've ever had to slog through. WTF were they thinking?

    It's not good but at least it's not TAG 2 final boss. There's a lot of terrible FPS bosses out there. Why do so few actually manage to get it right?

      FPS' strengths are level design and varied enemy roster.
      Fighting giant dude in a flat arena lacks both. I hate homosexuals who claim that Jacob fight from Dusk is a good bossfight just because it has appearance of arena shooter duel while in reality it's still same old flat room where enemy's access to varied arsenal doesn't fricking matter.

      Icon sucks shit but I thought Kahn Maker was great, felt like a Metroid Prime boss.

      The three bosses of 2016 were also pretty fun.

        The Cyberdemon and Mastermind were lame, but those worm mech guys were rad and I'm upset more of those didn't show up in Eternal.

    I was so sick of this game by the time I got to the last level I just uninstalled and never beat it. What’s so bad about the boss?

      it's a drawn out "boss fight" where you need to mag dump weak spots on his body while he spawns endless mobs, shakes the arena and throws fire bombs at you. ah, and you need to do it two times, because frick you! first to destroy his armor and then to kill him. it's not even hard. it's just 30+ minutes of pure tedium.

        So not too different from the original Icon of Sin?

        BFG instantly destroys every section except for head, btw.

            Tendrils don't, but direct hit do 8000 damage, enough to destroy any armor or body part except for head, which has 10000HP. Obviously arms are harder to his but pecks and stomach are pretty easy targets. As a bonus, the tendrils tend to clear the entire arena. You can have 2 cells when starting the fight and the first arena has like two more, and I think the second one also has a couple.

        it literally takes 5 minutes to destroy him, mobs are easily dispatched and its fun to maul them because you have infinite sword charges, tldr git gud shitter

          I did the mission without crucible and BFG (I don't use those two ever) and it was really fun. Recommended.

    Only thing I remember about him is that he only spawned 2 types of big demons which only changed if you died and some combos were significantly harder than others. If one of those was pinky it was easy mode, while the fat fricks were cancer due to area denial. Did they ever patched it so he spawns all types of demons at random or is it still a pool of 2 decided at the start of the fight?
    I remember Martyr as the worst boss due to how boring she was, since all the angels dropped moronic amounts of supplies while also dying to a headshot instantly like it's COD

      for a game that prides itself on its combat, you'd think they'd try something more creative than shooting a stationary enemy that takes up your entire screen while spastically zooming around the arena to avoid cheap mobs. this entire game just wore me down in the last part. I went from loving it to never wanting to play it again. I'm not even touching the DLC, despite owning it. I don't know how people have thousands of hours in this game without being bored.

    i couln't play Eternal, i was with the mindset of more Doom(2016) but instead it was a mess skills/gadgets and other shit, i just want to shot at stuff and they to die, i barely used the graneds on the previous one.

      it gets really easy when you know how to combo that shit. freeze grenade, flame belch, blood punch (with healing rune) and bam! you just took a health + armor shower. chainsaw an imp and you're as good as new. 2016 didn't let you chees it like this. the chainsaw didn't even recharge.

      That's because 2016's enemies were pathetic and barely even a threat even on the highest difficulty.

        That's not entirely true, the first real fight in 2016 is harder than anything in Eternal. It's just that the difficulty curve is completely ass-backwards. You start weak as shit with garbage guns and end up one shotting everything with infinite ammo, also starting from midgame they put a powerup on every other arena for some reason. I just ignored them.

          nothing in 2016 is really hard unless you're a kotaku journo

          I somehow killed it on the first try.
          I had more trouble with the boss that came before it.
          Should I pick up the DLC-pack?

          it's more of the same but starts where eternal left off in terms of difficulty and ramps up

    it's a good final boss. it's fun. the music gets you amped up. you get free BFG shots. you're fighting off hordes of heavy demons as you try and line up your shots. a big improvement on doom 2's icon fight.

    Not the worst boss in the game. CyberDemon and Mastermind from 2016 are billion times better than all Eternal bosses combined.

    It's meant as the culmination point when you need to use all the skills you've acquired during the game. I didn't really felt like the boss itself was a threat, it was a barely moving bulletsponge thing that you slowly destroy while fighting everything else. Acting as a manual "countdown" for the fight.
    Didn't really enjoy it either.

    DE would have been better from the start if fast glory kills was simply a settings option in the menu you choose for preference rather than something you had to waste a rune slot on. Seriously, the game feels completely different when the otherwise tiresome glory kill animations are over in a fraction of the time.
