There is a distinct lack of guitar in basically every modern DOOM boss theme, pre-TDA. The only examples where there isn’t a synth-based boss theme are Trial of Maligog and Davoth, both of which aren’t Mick’s tracks. It’s like he was allergic to guitar for his boss tracks specifically. Like, we know Mastermind is a remix of BFG Division. Would it have killed him to inject a little bit of that pitch bent F#?
Trial of Maligog still blows me away
really wished doom eternal ost was on spotify tbh
Correct me if I'm wrong but it was in there during eternal's release and was removed shortly after right

show me a scale of one to 10. What do you think of this artwork?

Yeah
I just got dark ages will this be a good game
Yes
absolutely a blast to play
yes
Alr I'm playing the first mission rn and your right
yup. it only gets better from there
I’m wanting to start messing with a Ripatorium setup to share, but I realized that everyone I hear speak enthusiastically about it plays the game on like 150% speed and whatnot, and I worry that I’ll be unable to play test this and get a good sense of its quality due to my sheer lack of playing the game at that level
So that explains why the Dark Ages channel disappeared from the Doom universe category
Nah, i do Standard Nightmare most times

Also playing the game at what difficulty level YOU need, is the best way to play!

Love you guys

theres still plenty of ppl who dont play at crazy sliders
I don't ever go faster than 120 game speed
i play on 110% speed for example
yeah 110-120 is where i think the game is most enjoyable for me, maybe ill switch to 120 in the future but atm i like it like this
where doom 
next turn down this street
Which level introduced the Agaddon?
Abyssal Forest
Ohhh.
Makes sense, Komodo was the last champion then.
Since Komodo came on Nerathul.
i cant wait for cacodemon champion in the dlc
i heard of a few ppl here that like them so much, they would be so excited for that
Komodo that shoots purple goo
holy shit write that down
these people must love torturing themselves
in all seriousness i want to see that cosmic mancubus concept art fully fleshed out in the dlc
it looks awesome
i would too but if its a released concept art im not so sure they will do that in the dlc
cuz otherwise they wouldnt have released the concept art
the true horror
but they prob have another million trillion ideas so im not worried
I want more DOOM 3 enemies. I'd love a DOOM 3 Imp as a skin for the Stalker Imp
Imp Stalker, whatever
i love how the vagary was in tda in any case
i love that theyve been sticking with the doom 3 hellknight
that gives me hope we’ll see more of doom 3’s demons
Does the one in TDA have eyes? I didn't like that they gave it eyes in Eternal
it does
Oh well, me asking this means it's not as noticeable anyway
eyes arent really much of a problem for me i really like how they look in every game
these could fit.. maybe?
wait the doom 3 guardian of hell kinda reminds me of the pinky in tda
I don't really see anyone mentioning what they'd like to hear in the DLC, but I'd personally love a remix of Sadistic from TNT
music wise?
Well yeah you can't have a remix of a song as a sound effect
give me a semi-remake of the doom 3 theme
would be really funny if they place some areas from 3 in hell levels
And make the riff last longer than 3 seconds this time
what i really would like to see is past locations that we went to in hell in the classic games
this and finishing move’s tone ❤️
I also hope they do more action music with violins in it. Can't put my finger on why but that shit makes songs 10x as raw
i see a lot of people wanting to revisit e1m1 and those levels but some levels in hell in the classic games are really expansive and could fit, maybe ruins of places we absolutely ransacked either in those games/places that the slayer went to after 64 when he was in hell
i love it when they do things like the end of divine retribution
personally I want to see more Doom 64 style hell
The intro to Infernal Chasm with the more orchestral style is awesome. Horde knows
thank fk they cancelled that
its time to put it in the game + add screechers
Hey look, it's me
if they add the archvile i want him to have some very cool parryable moves that arent just his basic fireballs
and for the p.e., having the ability to parry back the lost souls he shoots at us would be so awesome
he resurrects dead demons, but you can parry them back into the ground
whack-a-mole
not a bad idea actually
but you would have to cover the entire arena looking for them though
Maybe have the Arch-vile have these green leash-like objects shoot out of its body towards the resurrecting corpses?
It'd help show where the corpses are
with how much gore lingers on the battlefield, resurrecting dead demons instead of summoning them is actually feasible
biggest worry is him having that fuckass flame that covers your screen in doom 2
everything in TDA is super aggressive and moves towards you, so I'm not sure if finding them would be much of a problem (since they'd likely find you first)
I'd actually love that
true + it could work as a ‘time challenge’ to where the demons you didnt get come back to fuck you up, buffed slightly by the archvile
I like to think the Forbidden Plains in TDA is a region of Inferno from Doom 1.
im looking at the map + some levels and this could be plausible
100% and again i really wanna parry back lost souls
honestly depends on the demon
in eternal pretty much everything moves in your general direction at all times, although some enemies are more (barons) or less (cyber mancs, archviles) aggressive
in TDA you've got demons that literally just move around with no attention paid to the player, but you also have stuff that will chase you across time and space just to beat your ass
with a unique attack instead of just having generic parryable lost souls 🙏🙏🙏
The presence of Hell buildings and a huge citadel as the Abyssal Keep IMO implies this.
it would be badass though
2 sides of the same coin lmao
meh, very predictable
the safest and most obvious choice
maybe ahzrak’s fortress is built upon that region?
I like to think the Abyssal Keep is E3M5 or E3M7.
here: give him a shield like the one he has from battlemode
I had an idea for a TDA pain elemental moveset that I shared with Raguel (a really underrated doomtuber that you should all check out)
From my comment on his community post: "I feel like giving the Pain Elemental parryable Lost Soul projectiles would be a bit too predictable, so maybe something a little more unique. If they go with the dual mouth design from Doom 64 then perhaps it could become a two phase enemy that splits into separate parts after taking a certain amount of damage. The two parts would move/attack at a faster rate to compensate for the lower health and locking one of them down with the Shield Saw would empower the other, forcing players to change how they approach the second phase depending on their situation."
What I'd like is if it shot parryable modern Lost Souls from its left mouth and then fired the bigger modern ones you have to shoot from its right mouth or something like that.
oo i like that
Bonus points if it makes Lost Souls orbit it or something.
im subscribed to this guy, i really like this idea actually
sometimes I cook
been thinking about making doom videos myself
one in particular is a lore video for the cacodemon or cyberdemon
I somewhat like the idea of it spawning a large lost soul that then spawns smaller lost souls. like a russian nesting doll
although I do like the idea of the separate halves serving a diffrent purpose. That's good
Oh man that'd be cool.
please do, we need more doomtubers
everyone left after eternal
clearly they were eternal fans
If I were built for videos I'd make lore videos all day.
https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Nightmare im not saying it’d be one of the greatest ideas ever, but to give the pain elemental’s lost souls some flair from other lost souls… bring back these guys?
I'd watch every one of them
im going to be working on a script later tonight and just seeing how it goes
this lost soul was posted on artstation a couple weeks ago but isnt it like.. not in the game? so maybe this?
i just hope he’s in the game lmao
my foods here so im gonna eat that, and then either do some ripatorium, finish my challenge run, or work on that script
This is in the files as a large lost soul. While it could of course be reused, I feel as if this was replaced by the normal lost soul, which is large by defualt
I like Raitro's 2016 content but he doesn't make it much anymore and I love Decino's analysis content but dude's a father and barely has time for that now :p
So yeah, we do
and the army of rising doomtubers that Eternal spawned dipped after the game went quiet
well if im very motivated (i kinda am) im thinking about joining this community fully
alright one second
i just feel like its so random to post a cancelled demon without saying anyting about it being a cut demon or a concept, he was just posted alongside other demons that are in the game
I don't think that's entirely unusual. It seems to have made it pretty far into development and was used at some point
and also he looks sick asf and i want him in the game
I wish he could post analysis of like. Modern Doom AI and stuff.
He did do one video like that for TAG's Spirit
I'd personally like something like that for Wolf3D
I wish wolfenstein was more casually popular
been six years since youngblood and eight since TNC
the show 🔜
that won't get going for a while
but should definitely raise the popularity a bit when it does eventually come
All of the Wolfensteins are awesome and it sucks that the only popularity nowadays is from people playing JUST TNC for the platinum flex
The amount of people who sleep on TNO and TOB is just heartbreaking
Especially the old blood
TOB has god tier gameplay but I don't like what it did to the story. Same for TNC but to a lesser extent
Wolf2 and TNO are the best ones imo
hi
I thought the whole supernatural twist was awesome tbh
I'm not a big fan because of the grounded tone the modern games go for
Hello funny ultrakill man
It reminded me of rtcw in a good way
I think the only thing I truly dislike without any caveats in the new wolf games is the multiverse stuff from YB
Nazis in space and occult stuff, sure, but I don't think multiverse shenanigans fit as a driving force
I don’t really pay any attention to YB honestly
I'm fine with an alternate dimension a la Wolf 2009, but a multiverse plot has to be in a story tailor made for it
I'm saying this as someone who genuinely liked it: it is only fun with a friend
So I’ve heard
It feels like a game from that weird post-RE5 era where they shoehorned co-op into everything, like F3AR and Dead Space 3
Same franchise killing power and everything
I think they (the new games) all do questionable things to the story, aside from TNO
I concur, but I find that at least they struggle mostly in relation to each other rather than on their own. TOB is extremely fun and campy while TNC is more like a grindhouse film. TNO is the only one that feels tonally consistent throughout.
They can all be enjoyed in vacuums with an open mind, with the sole exception of YB, imo.
I think it's really silly TNO ends with this tragic and emotional chapter where Blazkowicz comes to terms with his sudden death and sacrifices himself for the good of victims of the Nazis and the love of his life... just to revive him in TNC, and kill + revive him in that game again. I think if he does actually genuinely die in a future game I won't be sad because I'll just think it's gonna be another fakeout
the whole he gets his head cut off but somehow survives bit is just so stupid
I get you. I'm at least happy TNO is a self-contained story; you can mostly ignore everything that comes after if you want. I'm a big fan of endings like that.
I legitimately thought for a minute that they were going to do something ambitious like have one of the crew take up BJ’s role or something but nah
You can also ignore anything before! It makes some efforts to tie RtCW and Wolf2 (and then TNC tries Wolf3D) into the canon but it's such a loose tie-in that you can completely disregard these games and just assume some of their events happened in one way or another within this timeline
-# We should probably move to #general
Probably lol
I agree that the general concept is meh but I like what it does for his story. Cements him as not just a hero of the people but a literal legend. He was publicly beheaded and came back stronger
Idk it just felt like what they did to the Slayer in Eternal to me
The concept of the whole fact that to Irene he became death incarnate is AWESOME but in the end it's just glazing a character that's already stupid strong
I think it arguably works better for BJ than the Slayer
I need Atlan Ripatorium Mode in next update
Oh I though you just meant the whole dying and coming back to life thing
oh lol nah, Doom 10000% does that better than wolfenstein
but when it comes to glazing the characters as legends, I think modern Wolfenstein does that better than Eternal's ARC logs
Unrelated, but Horde, have you thought of doing more reviews/analysis videos, like your 2016 one a while back?
Yeah for sure
I'd like to hear some of these sorts of discussions in video format
The Dr Elena Richardson audios were so unbearably cringe
How come DOOM 1, the game designed to not be a power fantasy, constantly gets called a hyper power fantasy about this all powerful being, while RAGE 2, created to be a power fantasy, gets no talk at all
I had originally planned on switching to that format entirely before Year Zero was leaked and Doom news in general started to pick up enough for me to go back to it. If I make consistent content after they end support for TDA then I'll absolutely make more videos like my 2016 re-review
i was gonna start when tda dropped but then the audio on one of my recordings bugged and icbf to fix sooo 😭
fair enough, I hate audio issues 😭
I'd really love that
also i got a jbl quantum 360x to replace my jbl 350 headset and inexplicably the mic is like 50000x worse despite otherwise being an identical model of headset
and i dont reaaaally have the funds to buy a good mic rn
i'd like anything from rpgs brought back
give doom guy attack dogs again
give doom guy attack dogs
Is that something they actually do in the RPGs
Fire writing gif because that sounded insanely comical but I'm just now starting to realise you might not be joking
𝙿𝙾𝚅 what 𝚝𝚑𝚎doom slayer 𝚍𝚒𝚍 to 𝙰𝚉𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚔(do not know how to spell his 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎) 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚖𝚎
yes lol
Insanity
there are Hellhound enemies (edited wolfenstein 3d dogs) and a uac scientist (and secret ally to the demons) Mr Nadira makes a special dog collar which can control them
Wtf Hellhounds are real
and then Doomguy can steal his dog collar and if he encounters a hellhound he can use the dog collar to instead use the hellhound as a melee weapon lol
That's a fucked up looking dog
i like to think the marauder's wolves are a reference cause they're called hellhounds in the files and have similar blood on the eyes and mouth
but it's definitely a coincidence lol
Sure

more like this POV lol
added to my collection of true gifs
True... might be one of the most perplexing yet loveable memes ever
It's just so surreal
Did anyone ever get lucky with glory killing a cacodemon?
HELL YEAHHH BALATRO
Now cloverpit
The one enemy where it’s just 100% impossible to get a glory kill on.
I’ve been able to get a head stomp glory kill on a pinky.
Did they update resource values since release? I haven't played since
I remember putting it on minimum and it was perfect
I almost always do
Never been able to.
You can do it on the one by the gore nest at the end of city of ryuul if you just run past it and get on the upper platform
Interesting.
You'll have enough elevation to do it
And glory kills on regular vagaries would be interesting.
Banshees from legacy of rust
Whaddya think?
working out the kinks for my mic rn
i wanna make it sound youtuber-like
clean and stuff like that
ive just been reading the eternal cacodemon entry and listening to it each time after im done
yeah I got one naturally
The Vagary ones are pretty cool too
the vagary decapitation is my favorite
I've never actually gotten a glory kill on a regular vagary or komodo
I was all about sprint-jumping to get the glory kills on my first playthrough but now I just get annoyed when they trigger because it allows the demons to regroup
im so close at beating the first resurrection arena on ultra hard settings
like i want to have every disadvantage possible
what sliders are you working with
I ask because this game has a million ways you can make it stupidly hard
for the difficulty settings themselves:
nightmare
min parry window
enhanced and empowered off
atlan min
BoD hard
500% damage
50% damage done to demons
max aggression
max speed
min daze
max projectile speed
min resource values
oh so basically max sliders
but ive also have
hud off
motion blur max
90 FOV
daze highlights off
without the stupid gameplay speed increase
parry and melee slow mo off
the game's just better with no or minimal slow mo
shield throw seek off (idk if that does anything)
though I'd recommend increasing your FOV a bit
agreed
i want every disadvantage
bruh
this isn't even a gameplay modifier, it's just QOL
arena shooters become much more enjoyable with a bit higher FOV so you can actually be more aware of your surroundings
yeah thats the idea is that i dont have that ability
well in that case go knock yourself out
ive been knocking myself out several times over this game is unforgiving but addicting
im loving these settings because i can appreciate the tactical aspect of the game
and it really forces you to use the environment too
oh and i have parryable attacks set to the same color as non parryable
or in other words set to red. doesnt exactly work with all demons like the revs for example but it works well for imps manc and whips sometimes
tda got a nomination for accessibility in games at TGA and here you are making it as inaccessible as possible lmao
You can set world saturation to 10% which will allow you to change the color of all non parryables
awesome but will that ruin the visuals overall
like make the environment look bad
i'm glad TDA got nominated for action and accessibility, it's so good honestly
why tda is my favourite game
Erm well you should put brink of death at hardest then
hardest?
Yes you can change the brink of death settings now
Not really it looks fine for me. Maybe tweak some hdr settings if you really feel like it but I don't have any problems
yes i have it set to hard
got it thanks man 👍
Do you play on new save or just an old save
it's resurrection, so I doubt it really matters
you're only down 10 health and 10 armor if you play it from a fresh save
Eh alr
old save
i do it to practice
i find that it helps a ton
practice for what?
heya samir!
max sliders doesn't do anything but practice your pain tolerance
Hello
True dat
and im only playing with one hand
Hm
🧢
Ah
yes i got it from my pirate days
Uh huh
You guys mind if I ask what's going on in here?
Chatting
if it were me i'd do it blindfolded and just memorise what i need to do, but respect for one hand 💪 😎
thanks man
hi
👋
Ultra Nightmare is finished
Thank you! Probably the most locked in I’ve ever been for the Ahzrak boss fights. Took no damage on the first two phases of Enhanced Ahzrak and then no damage on the second phase of the final boss after taking out the witch.
sick
I actually nearly choked on the final boss fight lol
well, not nearly--I did choke, but thankfully I didn't die
That’s completely understandable. For some reason, I typically do worse on smaller encounters in tight areas. Sentinel Command Station was the level that had my number due to all the tight corridor fights and explosive barrels everywhere. Two deaths there. 3 total attempts overall. Once I made it past there, it was fairly smooth sailing.
Now that the pressure is off from the first completion, I’ll probably do some UN runs for fun now
SAME, it's the stalkers that mess with me really, like i'd do better if there was just one mancubus or two hell knights,
They were really the only enemy I made sure I had their spawns memorized. Cannot let those invisible assholes live long enough to make any kind of difference in a fight. Them along with chaingunners, arachnotrons, revs, and acolytes were enemies I made sure to kill the moment they showed up
Well I just saw a YT video where someone beat the belly of the beast secret encounter on max sliders, so I was obviously expecting some really high level gameplay
But in reality, the guy missed most of his parries and used 4 bfc shots to clear the room
No shade towards the guy, but that was very disappointing

Wow I beat the final arena
Max sliders?
Let’s goooo
I might finish my run now
No bfc too, right
Trying to fight enemies with the morale buff with only 50% damage to demons is agony
I used it but I miffed the shot like an idiot
I know
It’s just that the guy made so many bad gameplay mistakes in the process
kudos to him for clearing it at least
It’s not even that the guy did anything wrong in posting the video or anything, I just came into the video with artificially raised expectations
ACOLYTES 
hate those guys, insignificant wannabe archviles
I just realised that Blood Red and Blood Spill are two different songs 😭
Bro
Whatt? Lol I kept getting them mixed up
Like yeah, it doesn't help that they have very similar titles (I'm partial to referring to Blood Spill as Ravenous Hatred)
Wait do they buff other demons? I never noticed lol I just use brute force 90% of the time
no they don't
Do they revive them?
nah, they just teleport around and overall just act like assholes
Oh ok
Yeah theyre pretty annoying, I find them pretty easy to kill tho with the ssg- clones die with a simple shield bash and ssg, then just do that a few more times for the accolyte and it'll stagger 
I really enjoy Acolytes. Much more than Eternal’s Archviles. They’re not as big a priority shift or as unique mechanically, but they also don’t piss me the hell off
i think it might be only u and me
but ye i like putting them in the ripatorium, they keep u on the move
I’m working for the first time on an “actual Ripatorium attempt” and I’m making Acolyte’s central to the “theme” and building each encounter wave around navigating pressure units while Acolytes make the battlefield dangerous
I don't mind them
but more than one at a time is frankly overkill
heh...
unless you're in a ripatorium-sized arena
like for example the multiple acolytes in the belly of the beast secret encounter are just nonsense
Well it’s possible that every level of my setup has multiple acolytes
Ok hemmy
🛡️⛓️🪚
In my second playthrough of this game on Nightmare (M*), I 100%’d Sentinel Barracks (chapter 4) in a single go!
Also did a clean defeat of the Vagary Champion.
and you can stun it with the shield saw and kill it easily
Oh yeahh, I forgot you could stun it lol
Ive seen accelerator works best on the vagary champion
I lowk feel like there needs to be a tip in TDA that says something along the lines of "the accelerator has the highest dps of any weapon in the game, don't sleep on it", because it's really easy to just ignore it because of how low-damage the plasma rifles from the previous two games were
you just have two weak-ass plasma rifles in 2016 and eternal, and then in tda the tiny little plasma gun just melts through literally everything lol
if anyone wants the doom slayer onyx skin for nvdia i have a code im not gonna use just lmk
I was playing the other day and was shredding the Enhanced Ahzrak with it, heavies also fall very fast
Definitely didn’t go for the Nvidia thingy.
I’d say the Vagary is the easiest of the 3 champions.
the thing about him is he has an insane amount of health. the fucker just won't die
Super heavy demon.
the other super heavy demons do not have the same health he does
i can beat an agaddon hunter in maybe 10 seconds. vagary might take up to 40
The Gaint Cacodemon has the eyes after all!
https://x.com/ShrimPort/status/1992386132483695065
cool
Hardest tbh,you're basically cooked if he spits acid on you
back to the grind? the grind never stopped
just wait until the DLC recontextualizes a previously established event and it's back to editing
It totally will. Like, the Praetor Suit thing will happen and it'll be hype on-screen but then I'll have to reinterpret the timeline and it'll be like Oh
This sort of thing actually kind of scares me - I'm worried they're just gonna totally forget about Doomguy spending eons in Hell post-Sentinel lore and just shove all the Testament stuff before the Civil War so they can show cool shit.
There are certain aspects of the timeline I'm pretty attached to that I don't want changed.
The Praetor suit coming this early on will definitely change the assumed order of events of the Slayer’s time in Hell, but it’ll be badass nonetheless
But I do agree, I’d prefer them wait and not change that idea
TDA's ending alone already shows us the Testaments happened differently than we thought anyway.
I honestly don't think they'll show the full praetor suit. and maybe won't show the praetor suit at all
They'll do the Marvel thing and just show the blueprints
I actually wouldn't be surprised lol
It was the general understanding that the Slayer's rampage begins after the fall of Argent D'Nur. Now we have to move forward with the understanding it began during the Unholy Wars, and since Eternal tells us the Slayer still palled around with the Sentinels for years after, that the Slayer just kind of hops between doing his thing in Hell VS going to Argent D'Nur to help out the Sentinels, and he just kinda does this until Argent D'Nur falls.
I think showing/ using the full Praetor suit would kinda disrespect TDA’s armor. It’s unique to this game specifically, and the Praetor suit probably wouldn’t fit in with the whole medieval idea
I personally would rather we keep the Praetor Suit's obtaining off-screen, but Hugo seems to be implying it.
My issue is with "the wretch." People have much cooler ideas for who the wretch is than what they'll end up showing, IMO. I think a lot of people are attached to the notion that a demon rebelled against Hell and helped the Slayer, and I'm not sure how keen Hugo is to show that.
His main rampage is definitely after the Betrayal/ Fall of Argent, but we don’t know to what extent the “dark lords who had wronged him” are. That may be referring to the hell priests who betrayed him, but we have no idea
I always took this to just mean Hell's leaders as a whole, who invaded his Earth and then fucked over Argent D'Nur, rather than a specific group.
I did as well, but we just don’t know for certain. Hopefully it’ll still work in the context we hope
i think he's explicitly stated on a TDA stream that the Wretch is a Sentinel
They’re afraid to show shit from 2016 in case it locks off future games I doubt it
Dude that is fucking dumbbb if so
I say this because, like I mentioned before, I argued with someone on Reddit who believed the Slayer gets put in the sarcophagus directly after the Betrayal and thus TDA happens in the Third Age. I really hate that idea and I contend it doesn't make sense, but an argument like that still bothers me because it feels like something they'd do if they decided to do crack.
I’d like it to stay a demon. “In his heresy, was loyal to his evil cause” implies he was both male and demon. People want it to be Thira but it doesn’t work because of those reasons
I've always believed it to be Valen, but not because I liked that. I just thought it made sense. Realistically it being a demon would be the coolest.
ikr lmao, Belias being the Wretch would be so much better
I would prefer it to be a demon because honestly I want them to explore demon "morality," a subject I know they won't because literally nobody cares.
Im hoping Belias/ new character
We know demons aren't just a hivemind and they can and have rebelled against each other, but I'm very interested in the prospect of seeing a "good demon," and how the Slayer would react to this.
You should read the doom novels
I think Belias would work. Slayer challenges the High Council, and Belias was always denied Archdemonhood. He has nowhere to turn, maybe something inclined him to assist the slayer following the destruction of the High Council
i'd be so fascinated by that. Before TDA I used to think the Wretch was just an Imp or smth, I think that'd be cute and kinda sad honestly
I remember the chill asf Imps from the 3rd doom novel or whatever
imo the biggest piece of evidence against getting the actual full praetor suit from 2016 (or acquiring any new armor in general) is that they seem to want to make more medieval doom games and there's absolute zero chance they reuse armor across games. Unless the Slayer gets the suit and then stores it away for safe keeping until later
I think Belias being the wretch would be just as disappointing as a Sentinel being the wretch
if not more disappointing
Belias would be more interesting than a Sentinel be real
Exactly. And It wouldn’t fit with the medieval aspect at all, it would lessen our time with THIS game’s unique armor, all of that
I’m on the “Kreed’s assistant is the Wretch” train
it's either the praetor suit or the classic armor, one of the two. I'm banking on the praetor suit tho because of the whole "the story will move forward" thing
I don’t think he had enough lines for that 😭
agree to disagree. I don't find anything interesting about his character and find him to be a rather bland and unearned wretch candidate
yea but it being a sentinel would make the world smaller and make 2016’s codex more butchered than it already is :p
i'd be fine with this purely cuz he has a cool design and voice
Honestly, the “Armor” thing may be something else entirely. Obviously Hugo pointed towards something connecting the games, but “armor” may be unrelated
Maybe Hugo meant an upgrade for the medieval armor?
that's a possibility
That’s what I’m hoping
imagine it's just a skin lol
If we're just following the design language of his character, his broken halo could suggest he's not on board with the future regime instilled by the Khan Maykr, therefore not loyal to Hell's cause. It would validate the more futuristic aspects of the 2016 Praetor suit
Maybe there’s another equipment item that requires the Slayer to get upgraded armor in a cutscene or something
Nothing crazy, just slightly altered
something I don't think a lot of people are considering: maybe the "ARMOR" teaser isn't referring to a new suit or suit upgrade. he was simply using that word to tease the Wretch's first appearance, as "ARMOR" is practically the only thing we know about the wretch and is one of the only ways he could tease the character without flat out saying who it is
Fair point. That could possibly imply the Wretch is someone new that we’ve never met
Here's how I would write it, and maybe it's a bit fanwank:
We see hints of Belias watching as the Order of the Six falls, and we see he's been watching the Slayer's rampage. We also see him confer with other Hell Priests, and we hear hints of the Archdemons looking down on on Belias, who has abandoned his post to pointlessly track down remnants of Jekkad before it was corrupted. Belias himself used to advise the Dark Lord Davoth.
After a while, our plot twist: Belias has decided the current leadership of Hell is warped and incompetent. Yearning to see Hell's rule prosper again under the leadership of its true ruler, Belias knows Davoth can't come back but thinks the next best thing is the Slayer. The Slayer himself, who is inexorably linked with Hell and contains a piece of Davoth within him, is the true savior of Hell! Through his conflict with Hell, he gives the Dark Realm purpose, and if the Slayer is defeated, Hell will fall into stagnancy.
Belias gifts the Slayer, his armor taken and at a low point, a new suit, and tells him: "You will bring violence and war to the Dark Realm. Conflict was born in Hell... a fire that fuels creation and gives purpose where there is none. Continue that conflict, and show us our purpose."
Then he accepts death and lets the Slayer kill him or something.
That's how I'd do it personally, mind the lame fanfic haha.
ok but the wretch is gonna be the druj from doom rpg so..
correction: the wretch will be the blue cacodemon from doom rpg
Malwrath?
or perhaps the green revenant
Bruh wth 😂
I believe one means the Wretched
Ain’t that the yellow fellow?
Ah you might be right there
Still think they need to rerelease those games. Especially the second one
Heck of a missed opportunity
nightdive will do it eventually, bet
At least the fan ports are decent
Still waiting on a good resurrection port
i love that guy
how can we hire you as a writer?

I need to remake this graph too, turn it into something decent. Fuck.
for the next gane
Haha I appreciate it.
I don't really think I'd do great though lol. I wrote a game concept for a spiritual successor to Doom 3 but I think I'd just write what I'd want to see and not what would be good.
go for it
yo chads
is there an ultimate guide on becoming unkillable in ultra nightmare
I cant I have been doing nightmare runs since existance but still die in the stupidist way possible
I have the Bloody Sandbox Milestone but I don't have the Perfection skin. I've had this issue since Ripatorium 1.0. Would anybody be able to help, please?
You can try submitting a ticket to Bethesda
But otherwise there’s not much else to be done
Sometimes the skins just don’t show up for whatever reason
So glad these games are seemingly still operating on spaghetti code
Damn kreed was a sin of gluttony all along
similar to eternal, the game has too many variables to truly become unkillable, even on default nightmare which is actually quite forgiving
but there are a few things you can do if you want to reduce your deaths
- don't habitually hold down block, as it is usually preferable to eat some chip damage than it is to risk getting your shield broken
- if there's a projectile or attack incoming and it looks like you won't be able to dodge/block it, turn 180 degrees, because you take reduced damage from the back (because of your cape or something I guess)
- don't charge headlong into the middle of an arena--work your way from the outside in
- learn what stuff falters enemies (that yellow circle around their heads) and only melee within falter windows instead of starting to melee whenever
- be acutely aware of explosive barrels--you don't get immunity to them in this game, and they also deal a fuck ton of damage, so be extremely careful especially in enclosed spaces
- shield throw constantly--not only does it clear out fodder, which are extremely threatening in this game, but it also charges your empowered shield bash and empowered shots if you're using the impaler
- shield bash combos--shield bash (especially empowered shield bash) into ssg, impaler, or charged chainshot can insta-stagger every heavy enemy in the game besides cacos, mancs, and pinkies
- and obviously--it's a doom game, so just because you're encouraged to go toe-to-toe with enemies rather than keeping your distance, that does not mean you get to stand still
Hey new to the DOOM discord. Is this the right place to post small glitches and stuff? If not does anybody know where I can? I've been running into a small glitch where levels will tell me I've collected all the gold when I know I haven't so the level will say 182/182 but I'll be looking directly at uncollected gold on the map. I know it's small but it's a glitch that kind of bothers me
They are aware
I figured
same for the ripatorium demon despawn bug
any bugs been encounter, post it here and ping me
@supple oracle any specific channels i can send you a bug i found? i cant send a picture here
put in screenshots channel, and ping me on it
sent
LOL, I see it, did you use any mods in any chance ??
nope, just happened when i loaded up the game 
It funny LOL, in which platform you play pc, or console share you pc specs
my processor or just anything?
oh i gotcha, give me a sec
fastes way (If your on Windows) is to run dxdiag
It mostly a storage issue, if you use HDD will encounter these types of bugs
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KF (3.20 GHz)
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
I also use an SSD instead of an HDD
that's all i got
then I am wrong lol, is it happen all the time to you, also do you know another person has the same issue ??
Maybe your Slayer just likes to T-pose
he's such a dork lmaooo
Pls help I started playing on PC then switched to Xbox Series but the PC crappy settings remained! Can anyone help?
in that case I can't send it, because it not a common issue, since it only happen to you, If multiple people encounter the same issue I will send it then
that's all good
Okay
And T pose it funny, I will not want to be fixed I like to see it LOL
slayer's just showing his dominance 
What do you mean crappy settings? Like your input options and difficulty modifiers?
what you mean, you pc settings, transfer to xbox series that not possible
It is. The game is an Xbox Play Anywhere title
Which type settings, graphics or inputs ??
I've never done that before so I dont have any idea how to....😔
just search "submit a tech support ticket to bethesda" on google lol
I remember back when the Slayers Club channel was still around, people figured out you can ask Bethesda support to give you the defunct Slayers Club items and they'd do it
yeah I think they'll still give you the zombie slayer skin if you ask
someone did that earlier
I got everything using this and on one hand I think it's kinda undermining the effort of the people who got them back when they were accessible, but on the other hand, who cares
😭?
I've had such horrible googling experiences over the past few years that I just default to asking for help from communities as they tend to help better. But i managed to find out where to go thank you 🙂
The Steam Awards are live!
You can vote For DOOM: The Dark Ages in the following categories:
- Game of the Year
- Best Game on Steam Deck
- Outstanding Visual Style
- Most Innovative Gameplay
- Best Game You Suck At
- Best Soundtrack
- Outstanding Story-Rich
- Sit Back and Relax
oh a game i will actually vote for
holy shit
all the doom games are 50% off
well technically you can nominate TDA in every category but 
holy fuck lol
tda on sale for 35 bucks 👀
Insanely low price for such a good game
tda isn't eligible for best soundtrack in the steam awards
gtfo
wait, actually it is
that's odd, wasn't showing up for a second
no yeah u can vote any game in any category im pretty sure lol
tda is "better with friends" 
tbh what is that award name, "this game is mid when you play it solo, but good when you play with friends"
tempted to nominate it for "story-rich game" but that'd be a little too much trolling for me lmao
yeah i didnt do that
probably just another way to say "best co-op/mp game"
I have done my part 🫡
so just name it that 
No, it HAS to be roundabout
well it doesn't seem like steam really does that lol
there's the "labor of love" award, "sit back and relax" award
although I'm honestly tempted to nominate eternal for the labor of love award
multiple years after launch and id is still pushing official mod support
wait true actually
Can labor of love nominees be games that won labor of love previously?
probably
Cause I'm just say'n Terraria could def win it again
Still one more big update
ah
Its in its final phase
I'll personally throw Heretic + Hexen the labor of love, remastering a fairly niche '95 game is awesome
I'd nominate Hexen 2 remaster if and when it happens
Or Heretic 2. Or both if its a duo release
Her+Hex would go crazy under best coop game
Nevermind it has to be a year old release to get Labor of Love
We'll get em next year
this whole awards season thing is just reminding me how few new games I actually play
I play oldies and only really get new games after their peak of hype is over. TDA is the fastest I've bought a DOOM game (except for D+D2) by far
Fr, I played like 2 games from this year
same
Okay I played like 4 2025 games
and even tda I still waited for it to go on sale first
I wanted to wait but just decided to buy it and literally a day later the 50% sale hit
Silksong, TDA, E33, and Split Fiction
kcd2 was amazing
Yknow Steam allows for you to refund it and buy the cheaper version if that happens?
really?
So Ive heard at least
that's awfully cash money of them
I do but I had 2 hours of playtime by then + I bought it on Xbox
Oof
ouch
A little bummed out, sure, but I loved the game. I can't be upset at myself for spending more on it
I preordered it, got a lotta shit for doing so
But I don't preorder often so I earned it
A lotta shit as in rewards or judgement
I've preordered three games total the last 2 years
I have never preordered one
I was close to preordering the new PvZ remaster but then AI allegations came and ended up being true, so...
I only preorder titles I 100% trust
Dooms "worst" game is still a solid 8 (Doom 3) so I said fuck it and preordered it
Though I haven't really played much of TDA recently
I love the game but it came out at a really bad time for me
preordering starfield taught me a lesson
Usually when people talk about worst they go for Final DOOM
Or maybe not "usually" but from what I have seen
Aside from the people that dog on DOOM 3 without playing it
well I also dog on doom 3, but I've actually played it
Based?
You can say DOOM 3 was molded from shit and I'll be ok with that sentence as long as you're not blindly following what other people say
idk, I just don't like it lol
Don't wanna sound like I'm old but those damn only-Eternal fans do it so often
true
their whole perception of what doom is as a franchise comes solely from eternal and 2016
The fact the definition of DOOM is judged with Eternal as a metric is absolutely hilarious
Come on guys, that's the SEVENTH game
and then they'll say something "doesn't feel like a doom game" as if they have any real frame of reference
I have played every DOOM game so I can say I think Doom 3 is my least favorite DOOM game but is still a good game
Same people will tell you Doomguy was always powerful and there's such a thing as lore accurate gameplay
But I really am sounding like an old whiney person now
if it's not an fps, I don't really count it
We're not counting the mobile games (even then it'd be 4 missing)
Then yeah my least favorite is Doom 3
And it's based you played it before making that judgement
Yeah, I absolutely love Doom
I played Doom 3 before I even had a phone
On the 360
I grew up on the N64, Xbox 360, and 3DS
Briefly
Thought so, I bounce between this server and the Hollow Knight server quite a bit so its hard to keep up sometimes
But going back a little I think its fine to compare the 3 modern Doom titles (2016, Eternal, and TDA) to Eternal
But you can't really compare it to the classic titles or 3
I also think it is fine to compare Eternal to Eternal
I meant the dlcs but forgot to type that part 😭
rayman 3 is the best game in the series dont @ me
2 and 3 both rock
Clearly you haven't played Zuma's Revenge, as it's the greatest game ever made next to Peggle
imagine if doomguy had the claw grip powerup from rayman 3
Meathook
Don't do another Doomblade where it's another simple addition to his gloves that gets thrown around in promo material but is really useless in-game
idk man doomblade literally killed davoth
With its own two feet it walked up to him and stabbed him
I mean you literally NEVER use it yourself as the player. It's just for the glory kill animations
ok that’s fair
i feel like most of my votes went to doom honestly lol
real
i immediately voted TDA though once i saw steam GOTY
These votes are just for the Finalists and Nominees!
So after Dec 1st is when we vote for the Winner!
same
Well I played is dark ages this year, so uh I guess all of these lmao
But judging by the other games that released, I'd go most innovative gameplay. Imma be honest with you the sequels like Hades 2 or silksong did not go crazy with the changes iirc. I'd say best ost too but E33 exists
Well thanks. How can I practice all of that
ohhh i see
But i have no doubt it wont be nominated as it also has less competition (PS)
Exp 33 game of the year for sure
Precisly
Time to give id 50 more dollars tho
Absolute cinema i still listen to expedition music when chillin
Dark ages was just released at the wrong time
If it released with the fixes already it could have the chance for game of the year
well lets see
Steam Sale - 50$
Collectors Edition - 250$
Digitally bought it -100$
Kinda early for half off huh?
Like on the ps5 the premium upgrade is 17 bucks
Like wooaah
Eternal had tons of issues at launch too, but when i see people compare TDA to Eternal its always Post Launch Eternal, not launch
Where's my horde mode and 6 master levels that took years to release!!!!
Literal years
Should I get the premium upgrade
not really, Eternal went on sale for 50% on its first Quakecon!
It is 12$
on steam that basically means you're getting the dlc plus a skin and some extra goodies for just 17.50
Good to know!
Bro that's a steal
dead game smh
(artbook and Digital OST)
dude I'm definitely getting the premium edition
Ye atleast I get the dlc instantly when it comes out
Those 100 bucks better be well spent
people were unironically saying this about tda when it went on sale for QC
And DLC!
they were
Depressing
well, to be fair to eternal, it released with battlemode (kek) and one free master level
That's fair
Although no one cares abt le battle mode
TDA has Ripatorium (Peakatorium)
But will have
DLC
Master Campaign/Master Levels
And arc complex was eh
Better line up tbh
Ripatorium is already my fav mode
Behind snapmap
Well your forgetting the Cosmetics!
very VERY true there
What type of person are you to keep asking abt cosmetics
Like where's your priorities
eternal is clearly the better game because of all the skins
like c'mon man
Oh no, no doomicorn?😭
But TDA has a double length Campaign so where do you compare there when the other has Battlemode at launch?
The skins in TDA are not worth the hassle you have to go for them but I don't think anyone cares
No one should care
Bc they'll be free anyways
Or idk put on a bundle that's easily attainable
Either one I don't remember
Well if they're gonna be free anyway that's kinda sucky for those that spent money on a controller just for them, but better for everyone else
I got the controller skin from someone generous back in early May
Why would you buy a 100$ Controller for a skin is the better question??
Sneaky you can't ask this
darn
I can understand wanting it all
Well you see the Controller is a piece of Merch, i personally do not care for the skins, but it is a nice bonus
I feel like the ripatorium tab has been kinda empty recently
true, I Suppose I am viewing things how I view it intead of the general audience
Ive been cooking up something!
Man I wanna play
i wonder if they fixed the thing where stuff will get deleted if theres 3 days (or 1 week if the owner of the post changes it) of inactivity on a post
cuz if not... uhh
What!!
No way
I'll lose all my stuff
no clue
@midnight marsh apologies for the ping but has this been fixed? ^
i might tmr, got too much stuff going on atm
Nothing will be deleted. It will be archived automatically after 3 days of inactivity. There is nothing to fix.
no lol no worries just letting u know i wont be able to til tmr
ah alr
tyty
I will give it a go later, Once I'm back from my Late-Great Grandmothers
I plan on posting my first attempt at a preset in the next couple days. Pretty happy with how it feels/plays so far but this is my first pass at something like this. I’ll be calling it “Choir of Lomarith”.
Telling ya, Nerathul, Lomarith, and Resurrection would be neat Ripatorium arenas.
Forsaken plains aswell
Oh 100%.
I def think we should have more then 3
Y'all think 6 is enough?
One from forsaken plains, one from abyssal forest
Or they could add dlc locations whenever the dlc is out
Spice it up a lil

Ye 6 sounds like enough

where doom 
If we get forsaken plains, infernal chasm is always on. Fits just right.
I’d like an Aratum or Belly of the Beast map honestly lol
Abyssal forest ripatorium map 
I’d like a Belly of the Beast or Sentinel Command Station map that’s made up of a more segmented, room- or zone- based arena that requires more movement between zones and has more funnel points to sorta counter the already-existing wide open zones
As far as Aratum it feels like you could basically copy/paste the final encounter map from the end of that level and I’d be stoked haha
Belly of the beast map would be kinda funny. All taking place inside the old one😭
belly of the beast, hell nah
no more stomach acid for me, thank you very much
Hell yeah
Yay I finished my run
Max slider run done
Now I'm gonna replay the entire campaign normally
After gym

these concepts are crazy bruh
the concept art for these games in terms of the environments is always crazy (and better)
I still think about the immora concept art
It doesn’t NEED to have acid haha I just love the aesthetic
Ye def some star wars influence there
Hugo is a big star wars nerd
the third one is quite literally the star killer base from 7
All hail the stinky king
I'd love to visit some techno hell that isn't called immora
They should try the techno hell aesthetic this time
Maybe they'd get it right
(Forget abt immora)
Can we see that peak again I just wanna see
i like immora but they definitely didn't really use it to full effect
It's too blue for me
Like all the blue fog
Looks weird
It's not aesthetically pleasing
i personally kinda dug the blue, it made Immora feel a lot colder which contrasted the entire rest of Hell pretty well, which is either usually humid or flaming hot, but the red look from the concept art definitely would've made it feel more explicitly hellish
Not just hellish but it had like scarlet colors I think
Like nice pink colors
Gimme pink hell
I'd like the blue to go with more colder looking enviroments, like dante's infero with the snow/ice
Not with some dark red buildings
Kinda like this....
yeah that is definitely more fitting
those concepts i sent were very early on, they were just exploring different looks and vibes for the game
and honestly a game like that... holy shit give it to me now
also to elaborate on this, if they do other hell tech aesthetics i think they should try the classic doom looking ones
are those from the DLC ??
No just concept art from the base game
Wow
yeah those were very early concepts to try and explore some ideas and looks for the game
they're insane
The next Doom game has major potential to be like the Auger Zenith mod. Full cyberpunk apocalyptic
u see some of these concepts they make for their games and u realise they are not running out of ideas any time soon, they can make so much unique and cool looking stuff
Nuh uh hato this ain't doom this some star wars crap, where's muh dooom
This ain't the doom I grew up with
Feels more Warhammer
that purple one is meant to be Hell right? kinda reminds me a lot of some of 2016's concept art for Hell
I hope we gonna see this one in future
r u being sarcastic lol i cant tell
I would love to see much more of TDA’s Hell
And maybe reference to the Motherdemon this time
was just about to send that. Very good examples of how easily they could make a TDA sequel that feels completely different and unique while still staying in Argent D'Nur
yep
A Doom Gaiden game would go hard. DOOM: Fall Of The Sentinel
In terms of visuals, I think TDA's sequel should be what Eternal was to 2016. From dark and gritty to fantastical and arcadey (maybe not to the extent of Eternal but still)
eeeeeehhhh
and then move on from medieval doom entirely
Maybe just don’t have an ugly color pallet this time
damn
He doesn't mean it by that much
I love Eternal but its hard to look at sometimes
I mean it by the ammount shown in those concepts
well here i can confidently say we aint on the same page 
Next Doom is Pirate Doom
But you like the concepts don't you?
Pirate Slayer in Nekravol
i dont really like the arcadey part
A new legend begins as you step into the steel toe boots of Goro Majima, a man who has lost his memory and reinvents himself as a pirate on the open sea.
Embark on an over-the-top, modern-day pirate adventure with an ex-yakuza, now pirate captain and his crew as they engage in exhilarating combat on land and sea in the hunt for lost memories…
$59.99
5045
81
Slayer gets a whole pirate themed weapon kit
yes?`they arent arcadey
Yakuza mentioned less gooooo
Ye I wouldn't say they're arcadey either
Yakuza Pirates is peak
I figured you would understand what I meant
oh well lol
New save?
yup
nvm i re-read what u wrote earlier lol
God save you son
I can imagine Slayer running around with a mini shoulder canon and musket
its okay ill do it no hits
on my soul first try no deaths

@hard thistle (Reads Absolute Doom saying that Dark Ages is still set in the first age of hell) what doesn't Doom 1 end with the Slayer killing the dark lord of hell (the Spider Mastermind) which should end the current age of hell?
Nice knowing ya
but yeah nonetheless i cant say i want more arcadey stuff in future games, eternal is good but i dont want that again lol
Or are ages of hell calculated in some other way
The Spiderdemon isn't said to be a Dark Lord of Hell - only that it masterminded the invasion. We can think of it more like a general.
I want Eternals gunplay back so bad
i second this
Ages are indeed implied to be measured by the living reign of a Dark Lord.
I don't want another Eternal art style either, but I do think a bright and colorful "fantasy novel" style medieval doom is the right way to go. Will I personally like it more than TDA's art style? probably not, but it definitely beats two back to back medieval entries with nearly identical styles
I thought she was said to be a dark lord in Doom 4 (2016)
Eternal is awesome in spite of all the colorful stuff that burns its way into your retinas, not because of it
Different demon. The Aranea Imperatrix / Spider Mastermind was an individual demon, the Dark Lord of the Fourth Age - the Spiderdemon of the original game was just one of many Spiderdemons we fight.
^
couldnt have said it better myself
Yeah, the fast paced action just works better for Doom
i like and appreciate the unique look but i love 2016s and tda's look and vibe soooo much more
Eternal's aesthetic can also be improved with modding, like with the lootdrops and stuff especially
Oh I see, I thought the Spider Mastermind in Doom 4 (2016) was the resurrected remains of the Mastermind from Doom 1
Lol
Nah, nothing says that. The Aranea Imperatrix is said to be a psionic demon that has no physical form until Olivia Pierce's body is twisted to become her vessel.
I like QC 2018's slightly grittier graphical direction more than the launch version
for sure
everyone does
What if in Dark Ages dlc we find the remains of the dragon from Doom 3’s lost mission expansion?
Wait no
That was roe
cool idea probably wont happen though
i feel like if doom 3 is canon, it takes place after dark ages
Definitely won’t, but still sick
although I don't think they should do this every time. a shift in visual direction is nice (as long as it's not too far)
it could take place before doom 1, it could be happening during eternal
its an alternate universe
still connected to our hell though
Idk, I want Doom 3 to happen at the same time as Doom 1 but in a parallel universe or whatever
Should they go grounded again or should they do aerial stuff again
I loved aerial Doom
@frail bloom oh my god the imp stalkers durability 
Fast demons fast slayer
I see, alright
And that's not the end of it
they've done on the ground and above the ground. it's time for underground
Interesting...
lmao
Doom the Dwarf Ages
every level is a sewer level with purple goo
They should refine TDA’s combat loop some more
Eternal was a refinement and an extension of 2016, so TDA should get the same treatment
Dont tell Civvie
The Mole Slayer
We’re getting 1d Doom
the doom diver
Well if that happens it's a refinement of the dlc
i personally feel like it takes place a few years before 2016, since a lot of dates and labelling, and just general aesthetics, lines up pretty well with 3
I believe that's what the DLC is supposed to be, right? Hugo compared it to the upgrade from 2016 to Eternal (although I definitely don't think it'll be that extreme)
Bc the dlc is already doing more then tag ever did
Well I certainly wouldn’t mind some extra refinement in the next game lol
i feel like next game they are gonna build on the glory kill/strike system that tda has
Lets get a clear connection between Wolf 3D and Doom with Slayer getting the Spear Of Destiny
Shockwave glory kills booii
Omni sprint too
also i want the demon's limbs on the ground to stop behaving like rocks on the ground and actually like flop around and shit
Agreed
There is so much potential with bringing back references to 64 and 3
I want to throw demons at eachother
That’d be fun
Give us back the physics gun from Doom 3. Lemme pick up limbs and enemy projectiles
glory strike a mancubus and kick him into another demon behind him and stagger him and maybe it hits him so hard it breaks an arm or smth
this would actually be something innovative
I don't think the next game will be anything like TDA
Oh well
The next Doom game will actually be a turn based rpg
They should have a rune where if you parry an attack from an enemy, that enemy becomes aggressive towards other enemies and attacks them
Infighting to the next level
The infighting rune, genius
Boi I'm cooking
Fuck why didnt I think of that
Now that we’ve killed ahzrak it would be interesting to see some infighting
yea infighting is like entirely absent in tda isn't it?
And they infight
The "wololo" shield rune
Precisely
iykyk
Yes
They’re an organized army, so it’s to be expected I suppose
No it exists
Where
I've seen a vagary kill some imps
rly?? i swear i can never get it to happen
Pretty rare but it happens
I want to weaponize infighting
Siege pt 1, on my max slider run
they could've at least made it so there was scripted infighting like Eternal
Idk man
Enemy projectiles don’t even deal any damage to other enemy AI as far as I can tell
I think TDA dlc could bring back the fleshy Unmaykr
I know what I saw
Idk what it means but I saw it
