I remember the first time I fought dark lord I was incredibly frustrated because I didn't realize that he had five health bars, I thought that I was gonna do a glory kill animation and then doom guy would just punch him instead and his health would fill back up and I thought it was a bug or something. The frustration was real. Honestly I don't think I've ever been that mad playing eternal before or since

#

And I was playing on hurt me plenty like bruh

spring panther
#

im playing dark lord on nightmare

#

i've died at least 7 times on the last 2 phases because of the bad stun window rng

azure oriole
#

Yeah that sucks

spring panther
#

i could use the saving throw bug to skip one of the phases

azure oriole
#

I don't really like enemies where you have to wait for one specific attack to damage them, just feels annoying while I wait around for them to attack. This is amplified with the dark lord too

#

Ngl they could do much more in the final fight but it's fine I guess

#

Literally the way to delete his health is stun then hammer then chaingun that's all you gotta do

#

In all phases too like damn

#

It's not really fine imo because they hyped him up as the boss for so long and he's a bad to mid boss, so he's disappointing. Also the icon of sin is a great boss, so I was expecting a boss on the same level as him.

spring panther
#

i assume the game is trying to do multiple damage checks at once

azure oriole
spring panther
azure oriole
#

Icon of Sin is all a boss needs to be

#

It's a game about large arena fights, enemy micro managing and target prioritisation, so we just give you a big arena fight with a big dude who acts as a hazard and you have to kill him quick or he spawns stronger dudes

#

He got everything, good platforming arena, lots of health and being aware of other demons in the area

#

Don't need multiple phases bs

#

Seraphim is a cool fight tho

#

Literally perfect for this kind of game. Just is a big arena fight with an extra hazard and big enemy to think about but doesn't have to constantly demand attention.

azure oriole
spring panther
#

finally got good stun rng on dark lord

#

defeated him and completed tag2 on nightmare

azure oriole
#

Course he don't

#

He didn't kill seraphim tho

@azure oriole hey man I’m working up an ultra nightmare variation of my last speedrun to derust

rocky lion
#

how come i didnt get the gunpletionist achievement steam

#

i got all weapons mods unlocked without the cheat code

#

and maxed out

rose thistle
#

i hear it can bug out

#

how does "Series" work? am I missing something?
I've completed some of the challenges but not gotten the corresponding rewards

azure oriole
#

Is it that same TAG 2 Speedrun you've been doing?

#

Except UN, obviously

young mango
azure oriole
#

Your routing wouldn't change at all? Like not even the way you fight demons? I thought that it would at least stop you from tanking and make you take a little bit more time with encounters

#

Eh what do I know ig

young mango
young mango
#

the run ended up only being 9 seconds behind my personal best

#

so it wasn’t that bad

#

it’s also incidentally world record for ultra nightmare, but that’s not really anything to brag about, one of the runs is routed so badly that it’s actually the slowest unrestricted TAG2 run ever, and the other is just outdated asf

#

but don’t worry I’ll crush this time and the other time pretty soon

#

I just learned a bit of crucial information

#

wat

young mango
#

the only time I got low health is when I was getting hit on purpose for the stone imp skip😢 pretty good return to UN I guess

it was like one of the most popular mods ever for doom eternal

rose thistle

damn
was the actual horde mode based on it, then?

#

they were like "ok people like this a lot so let's just make it a thing"
?

young mango
#

unironically yes, this was made because they didn’t feel like making invasion

rose thistle
#

invasion?

young mango
#

yea it was a mode where player demons could come into the campaign

but it was never finished, or started in the first place, idk

You need quickswapping, weakpoint sniping and good uses of chaingun shield to do the really hard things like UN and such, but for most the game you can just shoot things that move

That's about it, I don't even know what other tech there is

At that point you just need to git gud at doing them and executing tech under pressure

btw
am i missing something or is the crucible just really inconvenient to use?
like it takes so long to switch to it and finally swing it, compared to like the chainsaw where you just press it and it goes

young mango

#

it's so underwhelming 😭
I went the whole game hyping it up and then I get it and it's just a boring janky BFG

#

its animations aren't even that cool!

#

even if it wasn't extremely inconvenient to use I still think it's really poorly done.
like aside from it just being less interesting glory kills the fact of "get rare ammo on occasion and insta kill a guy" is just
why?
again, especially when the BFG exists

#

I think the Sentinel Hammer in an instant proved better designed. Like balance aside it just works so much better to let you charge it by killing dudes instead of getting rare-ass drops

empty basin
# young mango crucible is kinda janky yea

It's pretty funny that they gave the "press button to attack with it without bringing the weapon out" card to the Chainsaw since there's no reason to bring it out just because, but then made the same mistake on the Crucible

#

Like lmao imagine if the Hammer requires you to bring it out too before doing a slam

flat trail
rose thistle
#

maybe it could have been a more passive upgrade. Improve your melee or glory kills or something
maybe like under a special condition, like you fill up a bar and then you can instakill enemies with a melee or glory kill earlier or something
or idk maybe it shoulda just been a weapon? just do massive damage instead of instakill, big-ass cooldown, idk

azure oriole
rose thistle
#

speaking of limitations on superweapons got argent cells are so hard to come by? especially when you can only hold 2 BFG shots
you shoulda been able to get them from enemies I think, it would have worked great in this game since the ammo is already divided into smaller units instead of just one BFG shot. Make it so as a rare ammo drop you get like 5 argent cells or something idk

ok but it's cool!
plus they added the Unmakyr which is even cooler!! but you hardly ever get to use it :(

#

guys what's the lore on the Unmakyr
did the Makyrs just play Doom 64 and think the Unmaker was cool as fuck or

empty basin
#

Codex ```A uniquely powerful weapon, the Unmaykr is kept under lock and key inside the Fortress of Doom. Inspired by Sentinel weapon technology, this celestial firearm was created in Urdak by the ingenious invention of the Maykrs themselves.

Upon activation of the weapon, shutter-ports slide open, and the Unmaykr immediately begins launching rapid-fire volleys of condensed tri-directional Argent bolts. The destructive potential of this alien superweapon is rivaled only by the BFG.```

rose thistle
#

yeah but like
did they make it because they liked doom 64?

azure oriole
#

Lmao Tammie your expectations for yourself are through like 12 roofs

empty basin
#

It's unknown which of the Unmaker and Unmaykr was made first

azure oriole
rose thistle
#

so you're saying it's also possible the makers of the Unmaker were fans of Doom Eternal

its not that bad brutha

I used glitches should I go for a legit run

young mango

glitches are dope, go for it, just don’t cheat, and glitches isn’t cheating in my opinion

arctic trellis

You getting best times when you get berserk or hitting combos on demons using glitch is not fun

when i get berserk and only thing they fear theme hits

severe atlas
#

I am only missing one acheivment it is bloodbath for doom eternal battlemode does anyone want to help me boost the acheivment

arctic trellis
#

man i feel like doom slayer when i get that berserk

young mango
#

I mean what do you consider a glitch, I don’t think there’s anything overly powerful enough to outright invalidate a run, if anything it’s kind of a bell curve, the more experienced you are with glitches it’s like, you’re putting more work in to “cheat” than you would just completing it normally

#

like this is an ultra nightmare run that use a bunch of glitches, would I call it cheating? no, because you need enough technical knowledge to pull this type of stuff off in the first place that you’d probably already be good enough at doing it normally as well

rose thistle
#

damn it's kinda wild that noöne's made a mod to make the Crucible work like the chainsaw with the instant activation

young mango
arctic trellis
rose thistle
young mango
#

actually now that I think about it, notarget wouldn’t be a thing on crucible because it can actually kill things without entering an animation

it'd just make pressing V automatically swing it instead of bringing it out and then having you click to swing it

azure oriole
# young mango glitches are dope, go for it, just don’t cheat, and glitches isn’t cheating in m...

I semi disagree with you on this. Glitching in a Speedrun context is not cheating to me because in a Speedrun context you're only goal is to beat the game as fast as possible, by any means necessary. There are of course catagories that will place restrictions on what you can and can't do, and most speedruns have the obvious rule of "no modding" but in essence, a speedruns only goal is just that; speed. In my opinion in this context using glitches is not cheating, since your goal is just to beat the game as fast as possible using the tools the game gives you. If the devs leave in a glitch or 2 that the speedrun can use to make the run faster, it will naturally be used. This is also my opinion for most single player games, as I think the player should prioritize having fun over most other things. (There are a couple of exceptions to this) and in the context of a multiplayer game, I consider glitches to be cheating. In my opinion using glitches and exploits that the devs did not intend to leave in the game to increase your chance of winning and most likely ruin other players experiences in the process is absolutely cheating.

young mango
azure oriole
#

Ah cool, lol

#

Sorry for the rant, I'm kind of a passionate extremist when it comes to cheating 😂

young mango
#

It’s cool

rose thistle
#

Cheating is determined by the rules of the category
If the category allows glitches, it's not cheating
If it disallows glitches, then... it's against the rules, and thus cheating

#

For multiplayer games it's context-dependant. There are some games where glitches and oversights become a core part of the competition (see: fighting games), but there are also contexts where abusing glitches is at the least bad sportsmanship

young mango
rose thistle
#

For singleplayer games it's... I mean, it's singleplayer. You can make up any definition of cheating you want, but you're also allowed to decide that cheating is allowed. It's a self-imposed challenge, so the only restrictions are those you choose to follow

#

Is glitches in singleplayer cheating? Idk maybe, but who's to say you can't cheat? It's your game.

you know
in classic doom, there was a safety clause on heavy weapons like the BFG and Rocket Launcher. If you switched to them while holding down the attack key they wouldn't fire, you'd have to release and press again to shoot it

you know, so you wouldn't have funny situations like automatically switching to them when your ammo runs out and wasting a ton of cells or blowing yourself up or the like

# rose thistle the chaingun shield does what

The Energy Shield gives you 100% damage nullification on 360 degrees of all axis.
The damage that it nullifies includes:

  • Almost every single source of enemy damage in the game
  • Damage from falling out of bounds
  • Environmental hazard damage
    Essentially it gives you godmode for free
meager swallow
#

What

#

I thought it only protected your front

empty basin
#

Nope

#

The shield visual is a lie

meager swallow
#

Why do I learn this AFTER beating Eternal

empty basin
#

It does only protect from the front, in Battlemode that is

#

But other than that, godmode for free

#

I'm not too sure which damage sources bypasses the shield other than console commands to be honest

#

Oh found it, the only stuffs it doesn't block are:

  • Archvile's flame pose hitscan attack
  • Dreadknight, Mancubi, and Cyber Mancubi's lingering AoE from their ground slam
  • Gladiator's Ethereal Shield projectile, Shield ground slam, Bull Rush on phase 2, and various flail attacks
  • Khan Maykr's laser beam attack, and fire + electric ground environmental hazard
  • Icon of Sin's fire hazard
  • Cursed Prowler's DoT

It also instantly breaks from these damage sources, but still blocks them as far as I can tell:

  • Cacodemon's bite attack
  • Khan Maykr's charged giant projectile
  • Icon of Sin's fist and pentagram projectile

(it was originally 360 protection then too, until people realized how absurd it was [and still is])

#

I noticed an issue. I quick swap faster than I shoot weapons. So if I swap to rocket launcher, I will swap back to PB before shooting it sometimes

empty basin
#

Different weapons have different bringup and bringdown speed, which are 1) the speed which the weapon can be fired after pressing the weapon key and 2) the speed the weapon can be switched from after firing respectively

#

Different flow of weapons would have different quickswitching speeds, for example starting on Rocket Launcher first wouldn't switch to the Precision Bolt very quickly

#

So you have to start with the Precision Bolt for the PB + Rocket combo

# azure oriole I finally beat the 2 - 3 mancubus' in cultist base -o-

It's very easy when I found the best strat. You stay back and snipe the mancubus standing on the platform opposite you. Only gargoyles will fire at you but no mancubus will attack you so you can kill off a lot in the area right where you get the RL. And then you chainsaw one mancubus and you have 1 left

azure oriole
#

using my own techiques - run and gun (kill ofc), then use plasma rifle to shoot the mancubus, get the heavy cannon, shoot, then repeat. (it's not great, but most the times it works for me)

ocean cedar
#

huh, heavy cannon, you mean rocket launcher? And you grab that the first thing you do

azure oriole
#

nah,

#

I mean I use the rocket launcher sometimes, but it only has 9 missiles so I don't really use it much

precision bolt + rocket launcher deletes all demons. You should use that all the time in cultist base lol

they were saying it doesn't protect from the DoT once you've been cursed

#

anyway could I get some advice on the "use the energy shield against the double toxic marauders" advice? How would that look? I feel like it'd just be more of an inconvenience in making me miss stun opportunities than anything

#

also is my general approach to taking these guys out any good? I'm doing SSG to stun quick swap to balissta quick swap back to SSG. Sometimes I'm not sure I'm hitting the second SSG shot tho
I'm not missing anything with the quick swap right? you just tap the weapon wheel button to swap back and forth after taking a shot?

also I’ve always been under the impression that energy shield slows your walking speed but that is definitely not the case, I did a thing where I had a doom eternal speedometer on and walked with and without the shield and both the speeds were 9.6 m/s

by the way that’s insane for ingame movement speed if you think of it in context of real life, it means doomguys walking at approximately 21.47 miles per hour

# rose thistle so how should I use it? I'm a bit confused lol

most optimally? maybe as a way to help the traversal of the arena, or as a sort of panic button. like you could meathook past the marauders and bring up eshield for when you do that then go to a zombie to restock or something, and if you’re at low health you could try to restock off the zombies with the shield up

# rose thistle also is my general approach to taking these guys out any good? I'm doing SSG to ...

I prefer ballista/SSG/ballista for a two-cycle marauder - really, you don't need anything more complex than that for dealing with marauders, though I'm sure more advanced stunlock techniques would help if you can pull them off. If you can't get in close for the SSG because the other marauder is nearby, use pb + ballista instead

Something I like to do is save the quad damage in the previous arena, then pop it and ballista boost/move as fast as possible to the double marauder trigger. Most of the time it will last just long enough that you can a quad damage weapon cycle off on one of the marauders when he behaves normally

Oohh that's smart, I'll try that next time

#

huh, the makyr drones in the khan makyr fight are different, kinda red

#

what's up with that? 🤔

empty basin
#

There's not really any clear explanation to it lore-wise, but in the game files they are categorized differently

#

The normal Maykr Drones are named zombie_maykr, while the red ones from Khan Maykr boss fight are named maykr_minion

#

but they function the exact same

rose thistle
#

interesting...
probably nothing to look into, maybe something that was cut and all that remained was the unique design and they thought it was cool
internal data definitely not a good place to look at the least

empty basin
#

Personally I like the red robes more, since it makes them more noticeable in busy fights and just looks cool in general

#

The Blood Maykrs from TAG 1 were Maykr Angels (such as the one that says "Welcome home, great Slayer" on Sentinel Prime) that got corrupted and received their red colors due to it

#

so I'm pretty sure the "normal" enemy Maykr Drones are the ones that's supposed to be red, with the ones on Urdak level still having their white robes

rose thistle
#

the makyr drones only appear in urdak tho no?
outside of slayer gates and dlc and stuff

#

unrelated
wtf is the "mysterious voice" that screams after you kill the Khan?
I thought it might be explained in the DLC but it like, never was

#

...also how did the makyrs strike a deal "with the dark lord" to build the big soul tower if the dark lord was busy being an orb

#

also lore question
why did they ruin all the cool story stuff they'd built up in the campaign and previous games in the dlc?
are they stupid?

empty basin
rose thistle
#

yeah

#

actually no hang on yeah that makes sense entirely with what you said

empty basin
#

There are actually 3 skins for the Maykr Drones, which are:

  1. The yellow-head ones from Urdak cutscenes pre-corruption
  2. The orange-head ones that you see as normal enemies (yes they are actually different than their cutscenes version)
  3. The red-robed ones from Khan Maykr boss fight
empty basin
#

albeit they prioritized it way too much that it's hard to make sense of the story and lore's logic

rose thistle
#

😭

#

like the main campaign went a little too hard but it still followed well and actually made a pretty interesting world
and then the DLC (and frankly just the end of the campaign itself) is like, ok but what if we retconned all of that

empty basin
#

There's a real ton of story inconsistencies and plot holes in Eternal that it's insane how this is the sequel to 2016 when it comes to the story quality

rose thistle
#

"let's ruin the two most interesting characters we've ever written"

empty basin
#

2016's story and lore are way more simple and straightforward, but it's way easier to understand and as far as I know it has no weird plot holes when it comes to its own self-contained story

#

Meanwhile Eternal has a lot of nonsensical story decisions, like if awakening the Icon of Sin on Urdak would break the Holy Seal, why was he brought there in the first place?

rose thistle
#

hubris, apparently
at least they like, vaguely address that

#

tbh from Urdak on even Slayer himself acts really irrationally

#

why does he betray Samur? What did he do to you??
dude's been nothing but a bro

empty basin
#

And if an embedded Crucible blade is the only way to kill a Titan, how come we see all those dead titans on Exultia's hell section and the Blood Swamps?

rose thistle
#

he destroys one god by just crushing its ball but then the other is like ok so this one actually you have to revive him to kill it

rose thistle
#

dude the "is he stupid" meme has eaten out my brains...

empty basin
#

My problem with Samur starts before that, like if he's going to undergo a rapid transfiguration, why did he go back to his Seraphim body??

#

And they had a weird out-of-nowhere exclamation on why he didn't just retrieve the Father's Sphere all by himself, with one line of dialogue "The Seraphim cannot retrieve the sphere, it is forbidden" from a super minor side character

#

Like I'm fine on making up a reason as to why he can't, but is that really the best reasoning they could come up with?

rose thistle
#

i mean they do about the same for explaining why you can't just crush the dark lord's sphere like you do the father's

#

"it's said that like you can't do that"

#

how come the facility voice greets slayer as the seraphim when he enters the cutscene in urdak? do they ever explain that at all?

empty basin
#

And why is the ritual combat even a thing??? For someone who supposedly created the realm of Jekkad, Urdak and all the other dimensions plus their powerful beings, why did he just made some stuff up where he purposefully placed himself with something to lose

rose thistle
#

I mean
that much I can waive for rule of cool, I think

#

why is satan me tho

empty basin
#

Like I said I'm fine with them making stuffs up since that's just the foundation of telling a story in general, but I'm really confused whenever they just come up with a really bad reasoning or just straight up give no reasoning at all.

rose thistle
#

i can't get over how the final boss of doom isn't some giant fucked up demon but rather evil doomguy in a giant mech
what the hell

empty basin
#

Like why is the Gate of Divum, the only way to the most ancient part of hell, on Earth? There's literally no mentions as to why, not in dialogues or even codex entries.

#

it was just "there"

rose thistle
#

UAC are big fans
they own all the rarest merch

rose thistle
empty basin
#

As far as I know the Maykrs also have no authority over the Wraiths, hence why the Betrayed did all the stuffs he did and made the Wraiths into energy siphons on Argent d'Nur back at 2016, but VEGA somehow became the one who gave us access to the World Spear

empty basin
rose thistle
#

fucking covid man
it's ruined all my videogames!!

empty basin
#

They had planned for different phases of the Dark Lord, including one where we actually fight him in-person without the giant mech suit, but couldn't manage to do it

rose thistle
#

ok that makes sense, I was pretty surprised I didn't get to fight him one on one

#

but it doesn't really fix the issue of the final boss of doom being
evil doomguy (who is the devil and also original creator god)

#

at least him being in a giant mech makes it kinda funny

rose thistle
#

do they like
ever even really explain what the fuck a crucible even is?

#

like first of all I'm not sure they understand what the word means because a crucible is like, a mould for casting metal

#

but then it's like, ok so a "crucible" here is some kind of, energy sword
except there's this "demonic" one that's also a power source or something and uhh
slayer has one but it's like different and..?

empty basin
#

Naming stuffs with english words that has no particular relation with the stuffs it's naming is nothing new

rose thistle
#

"crucible" sounds pretty cool at least

empty basin
#

Yeah I'm pretty sure they just went with it because it's a cool word, and it is

rose thistle
#

oh huh
the uac hologram lady at the start of final sin calls you the "doom marine" rather than slayer
I think that's the only instance of the term used in the game..?

empty basin
#

Also the word "Argent" is supposed to mean silver or white metal, and yet it's used to refer to a red energy here since it's a cool word

empty basin
rose thistle
#

well it's also a blue energy sometimes right?

#

usually blue, actually, I think?

empty basin
#

Which blue are you talking about

rose thistle
#

it's funny how inconsistent the colouring of energy types is in this game when it's like, it should be the easiest thing

rose thistle
#

hell energy is red, refined into argent is blue

#

but then in Eternal you have like
Sentinel energy which is blue, and hell energy is still red, but argent is often red now too
but in some cases it's still blue??
but then like the crucible blade is supposedly like wraith energy I think, which is the main component of sentinel energy I think? but that one's red

#

dude did the well produce hell energy or straight argent? I don't remember

empty basin
rose thistle
#

mhhh

#

hm

#

sure, i'll go with that

empty basin
#

As for their colors well... at this point just don't think too much about it

rose thistle
#

but the well was described as like the source of hell's power, no? so it had to either produce hell energy or argent
Samuel says the crucible after absorbing the power of the well is the greatest source of argent, which suggests that's what the well made

empty basin
#

Sentinel and Wraith Energy seems to refer to the same thing, but Sentinel Energy weaponry (such as the ones used by the troops) is blue while the Hellbreaker which uses Wraith Energy in the codex entry, is red

rose thistle
#

hellbreaker?

empty basin
#

the Sentinel Hammer

rose thistle
#

ah

empty basin
#

At this point just don't think too much about it lol

rose thistle
#

right god, I forgot about all that stuff

empty basin
#

it's hurting my brain too

rose thistle
#

anyway again back to my point, it's like
how did they fuck up with colour coding the magic sauce it's literally the easiest thing

#

make the good energy blue and the evil energy red

#

like they do the second part pretty alright ig but you fuck up the other one??

empty basin
#

Like I said, just rule of cool prioritization

rose thistle
#

take me back to the good old days of doom when things made sense (2016)

rose thistle
#

there's just
one corpse here lit on fire by a green flame
do green flames appear anywhere else in the game?? lol

slow sigil
rose thistle
#

you're right..... i could never hope to understand the great minds behind this story
they were just defying norms, as they always have

#

oh yeah
why is the icon like, this cosmic being of power that warps reality just by existing and will cause the whole world to be consumed
like do they ever explain that.. at all?

#

all the other titans are just big bois
it's not like the icon had much preëxisting lore to be overwritten but

#

big glowup from "exploding wall", to say the least

#

actually doesn't the icon appear in 2016 as a stage prop or something? it had some lore there didn't it?

#

ugh, i keep forgetting this story is all nonsense 🙄

rose thistle
# slow sigil Weird there was no fodder, or was it just a hallway fight

it's uhh in that one building in Final Sin, the one where you jump in through a hole in the wall from the top of a building higher up, there's a bunch of demons infighting including a tyrant
a buff totem spawns after you take out enough of them
after you clear all that you get ambushed by some revenants and a hell knight, and after that and you ascend further there's like, a mancubus, revenant, maybe another knight? and a baron

slow sigil

Oh yeah that's just a hallway fight

the funny thing is I think I had this issue my last playthrough too lol

#

running low on ammo here, no fodder

hey y’all uh is tag 2 harder than the base campaign? like in general?
I beat tag 2’s first level on nightmare for the gold super shotgun, and I had rarely any trouble at all. if the base campaign on nightmare is on that same level of difficulty i could think about giving UN a try or two

#

I know tag 1 is typically considered harder than the base campaign (I think) but idk about tag 2

thin raven
#

Depends tbh. The base game differs in a few major ways

#

A UN requires a fresh start, while you are at max power (minus the hammer upgrades) starting tag 2. Most runs of UN die before they get past SGN because there's little room for error with how limited your kit is. The hammer upgraded, and even without upgrades, is pretty cracked and spamming it makes the DLC pretty simple.

#

If you went through the level without using the hammer and did all the challenges without trouble, then I'd guess you could probably get UN of the base game done relatively easily with enough prep. But I'm guessing that's not how you played the level, as most people like to use the new thing they've been given.

drowsy hound
#

i may or may not have forgotten the hammer existed until the mid way when I had to fight the stone imps, then proceeded to forget about it again lmao

rose thistle
#

Damn you're cracked

drowsy hound
#

i am?

Basegame UN and tag UN aren't comperable, one is more an endurance test where you have no equipment at first, and the other is a much shorter set of levels where you actually perform fully

like insturance but for the soul

#

and the hell priest were previous sentinel priest but sided with the khan maykr betrying the sentinels including the doom slayer

#

and there guardians are basically safes for the medallions

rose thistle
#

Ok but like
Did they ever actually explain what the deal with them is??
Where did they come from? How do they work? How did doomguy get the first one?

#

They're just there

wary badger
rose thistle
#

Actually the entire first priest feels really weird
Like he's kinda just there

they should make the next game when doom slayer was with the sentinels

also the skins of doom slayer are from different universes meaning the multiverse in doom is real

#

As well as their two most interest characters

tag 2 you are in a coffin before waking up in a coffin before killing the invasion two times before being put in a coffin

lyric wyvern

To the building with the two priest at the begging

rose thistle

I don't see how that suggests a time loop
The first coffin is explained and the second one is after some clear occurrences

wary badger
#

well I heard it as a theory from somewhere but anyways they should have kept hayden as a robot longer then turning him into a angel even we only see him as gojo in eternal, we should have saw him walking

rose thistle
#

You lost me in the second half of that message but I agree

#

Samuel and VEGA were like the two best characters and then they were like

Father wants to stop slayer? When is that said?

basically the father is a false god and davoth is the true god

wary badger

Considering the father usurped and sealed davoth idk about that

wary badger
#

davoth loved his creations much he got sealed for it

#

maykrs are offically the mistake of doom lore

rose thistle

Though, actually
Yeah the father did have a soft spot for davoth, couldn't bring himself to destroy him

rose thistle

I think it would be much cooler if the biblical narrative was applied to the doom universe, imagine the doom slayer being gifted a burning sword from Christ and Instead of rip and tear he yells Deus vult like the crusaders

maybe, but if you wanted to try, it’d definitely take some getting used to considering your shooting buttons are right next to it, and if you wanted anything bound to clicking down the scroll wheel you might encounter issues there too

#

I have middle click on mod swap
Used to be switched with grenade but I changed it so I could shoot one during alt fire more easily
And then found out the problem is actually my mouse just lacks the ability to do more than two presses at once lol

#

I'm considering getting a new mouse with more buttons tho so

My full layout is pretty standard until Ballista

1: Combat Shotgun
2: Heavy Cannon
3: Plasma Rifle
4: Rocket Launcher
5: SSG
X: Ballista
Z: Chaingun

Quick Swap: Q
Mod Swap: R
Punch: E
BFG/Unmaykr: T
Chainsaw: F
Super Weapon: C

(Regular fire and alt fire at mb1/2 like normal)
Grenade: Mouse button 4
Grenade Swap: Ctrl
Flame Belch: Mouse button 5
Jump macro: Mouse button 6

#

I paid for a nice keyboard and goddamn it I'm gonna use (half of) it.

rose thistle
#

Jump macro?

thin raven
#

Yeah so, I just have a button which spams jump. It helps keep momentum when holding charges on stuff like Ballista or just keeping massive speed from SSG grapple

rose thistle
#

Damn
Cheating smh

thin raven
#

It's kind of impossible to be consistent with it otherwise, and speedrunners use it so I figured I'd try it

rose thistle
#

Fair

austere bronze
#

I think my binds are:
Rocket launcher: Q
Heavy Cannon: E
Chaingun: CAPS
Ballista: mouse down
SSG: mouse up
Plasma rifle: 2
Combat shotgun: T
Flame belch: R
Punch: F
Chainsaw: X
Switch grenade: G
Launch grenade: LCTRL
Dash: LSHIFT
Mod swap: TAB
Hammer/crucible: V

#

Idk where I have BFG💀

#

Moving and firing is normal

rotund ether
#

For me:
Combat Shotgun: 5
Heavy Cannon: 2
Plasma: 3
Rocket: 1
SSG: Scroll Up
Ballista: Scroll down
Chaingun: 4

(Rest are unchanged)

tried ultra nightmare, died in cultist base, now I have no motivation to try again

#

most stressful experience of my life

#

everything just felt really cramped and awkward tbh

empty basin
#

Yeah Ultra Nightmare is more about endurance than anything

thin raven
#

cultist base is a pretty good run tbh. that's about the place where a lot of runs end

#

past ARC complex it's kind of a breeze since you have most of your tools at th at point

rose thistle
#

dude
the codex confuses me
there's no entry for the mecha zombies, and multiple times I've gotten a notification for a "zombie cultist" entry yet found nothing

thin raven
#

zombie cultists are the ones that you find in the center room at cultist base. the ones wearing the red clothes. They're not exactly special, they can't attack you and die to literally any damage.

#

probably just a weird bug that u get the notif for them repeatedly

rose thistle
#

b
ok so
in the main campaign I get the notification for their entry in the Mars Core level, near a particular secret
and I also get it when I start TAG1
but, the thing is
there's no actual codex entry

thin raven
#

lol yeah im pretty sure it doesnt exist. sometimes it feels like DE is held together by gum and toothpicks

rose thistle
#

bethesder

#

at least it's not as annoying as the bug in 2016 where it'd always display some specific entries as new

drowsy hound
rose thistle
#

bethesder

drowsy hound
#

is there a lore reason why the zombie cultists have no actual codex? is ID stupid?

rose thistle
#

TRUE

drowsy hound
#

am I stupid

empty basin
drowsy hound
#

why would ID leave it unused? are they stupid?

empty basin
#

It's just placeholder texts

spring panther
#

still die to literally any source of damage

drowsy hound
#

why did I play through horde mode multiple times just for the icon of sin podium? am I stupid?
(that one dual marauder buff totem thing near the end will always scare me)

spring panther
empty basin
#

They forgot to replace/remove the Zombie Cultist codex entry as their codex loot drop

spring panther
#

evade the marauders and focus on the turret shield

drowsy hound
spring panther
rose thistle
#

I'm leaving horde mode for last, figured "game over" was a good final achievement

drowsy hound
#

game got me feeling like I’m playing dead by daylight instead

spring panther
#

just keep going through it and back

rose thistle
#

I wish this game had a cool final achievement, 2016's "A Toe Into Madness" worked really well for that

#

here my only options are like
Running Up the High Score, Blood Bath, and Game Over

young mango
rose thistle
#

Bloodbath is the rarest but I'm not having a grindy multiplayer achievement as my final accomplisment lol

spring panther
rose thistle
#

and Running Up The High Score is... idk, it feels too gimmicky? and the name doesn't have any good finality

spring panther
#

it took me 70% less time to just ballista pb them

rose thistle
#

Game Over is just as if not more gimmicky but at least the name works out alright

spring panther
rose thistle
#

idk
I'm on Steam

spring panther
#

actually yeah it is

drowsy hound
spring panther
#

0.18% earned

rose thistle
#

what the hell

drowsy hound
rose thistle
#

doomblade probably

#

but that's just for glory kill animations so idk

rose thistle
#

above the extra life achievements for TAG 1 and 2 (1.3 and 1.1) and Bloodbath (1.0)

drowsy hound
spring panther
#

its live die reload, running up the high score is 0.68% on xbox

#

with 2nd being weapons expert and 3rd being game over

rose thistle
#

game over, game over will be my last
it just works the best

spring panther
#

my last achievements are truce between demons and blood bath

#

(because that literally is all i have left)

rose thistle
#

aka the worst ones 🙂

#

y'all I need tips against cybermancubi
these guys fuck me up idk what I'm doing wrong

thin raven
#

easy solution: punch with the chaingun shield up

#

other solution: freeze/concuss them before going for the punch

#

my solution: shoot the fuck out of them with long range weapons. they go down pretty fast to any heavy cannon combo

azure oriole
#

I usually will save chainsaw pips for them, since imo they are the toughest enemy that you have the ability to chainsaw. If I dont have chainsaw pips then any of the solutions carbvan mentioned work as well.

the mod for the ballista

that shit gets slept on by too many people. its so crazy powerful

dude on the arblast actually
why does it like
do less damage than a regular shot against bosses lol

#

the hell

azure forum

Rocket launcher is mostly useful for slobs. Besides that I think other weapons are better - I'd even say that PB rockets aren't much anymore if you are just trying to do damage.

It's a bring up animation technique

young mango
azure oriole
#

But instead of pb you use ballista

young mango
#

Hold on let me make a video real quick

azure oriole
#

Sure

azure forum
#

But you basically burn the ballista and rocket ammo faster then. For raw damage wouldn't it be easier to do SSG punch swaps?

rose thistle
#

punch swaps?

slow sigil
azure oriole

If i fight marauders i either use feet or lob tech

rose thistle

you guys are just making shit up now

#

fucken
feet lobsters or whatever
that's probably some kinda fetish smh

azure forum
azure forum
azure oriole
#

Lob Is definetly cheesy too

#

You don't really have to aim with that weapon, for me It only make sense against marauders

#

But yeah air control too Is kinda broken

azure forum
#

Lob is an evil needed for marauders imo

rose thistle
#

hmm, didn't think this through
used my one free support rune on the rune I'm not allowed to equip in extra lives mode...

azure oriole
azure forum
#

Marauders are just boring after a while. Like they just promote anti combat - I'm sure there are probably ways to 1 cycle them without SLOBs, but I never got there

slow sigil
#

0 cycle them by shooting ballistas through fodder coolcaco

azure oriole
#

Loool

rose thistle
#

oh lob is lock on barrage

azure oriole
#

Burst*

rose thistle
#

close enough

#

but what does it have to do with lobster feet?

young mango
rose thistle
#

is there like
a wiki going over all this tech lol

azure oriole
#

I was naively thinking It was

young mango
# young mango https://youtu.be/ddf4ea-WUWo

also funnily enough ssg ballista has more damage output than both of these if you BATS your ballista into SSG. Not used in speedruns because dblade is useful and so are ballista boosts. also cuz punchswapping ssg even without bloodpunch does more damage than all three of those.

Doom Eternal - Super Gore Nest Master Level - Ultra Nightmare

#doom #doom2016 #doometernal
I had two really good runs that I was really proud of but couldn't upload. The first one I had to scrap because the game soft locked me right at the end of the level and the second one I forgot to hit record for. Pretty happy with this run though, except for the very last fight.

I just got zombie slayer in 2024 after 3 years

There's an easy solution though
Just finish the level and play it again 🙂

So I singed up in 2021 for slayers club but I never got it so I contacted them today and they gave it to me 3 years later

rose thistle
#

Oh damn nice lol

severe atlas

I know right better late then never isn't it one of the only impossible ones to get now

rose thistle
#

I only got the game a couple weeks ago but I still got them, made my account way way back.

I made my slayers club account way way way back in 2019

I did it in order

Suffer in 1 and then i chill in 2

uh oh
halfway through the holt with only 6 lives
I think I can make it to the boss with em but I hope I don't choke out there...

ugh, I had 9 at one point in this stage

#

Here's a tip for the Samur fight, when he throws his projectiles, you actually don't need to move too much to dodge it

#

just stand still in one spot, and move slightly to the left and right to dodge them

#

For Possessed demons, Lock-On Rockets are your most reliable friend

#

or for just almost anything really

rose thistle
#

nooo both lives lost on the last phase 😭

#

and of course right after that I beat it flawlessly...

#

it's ok though, now I've got it

azure oriole
#

His name is Samur? I called him seraphim boss lmao

rose thistle
#

did. you not pay attention to the story?

#

I mean I can't totally blame you the story does rather suck

#

but also like that was one of the parts that didn't suck so...

azure oriole
#

I still called him seraphim tbh

#

And dark lord just dark lord instead of davoth

I JUST FINISHED TARAS NABAD MASTER LEVEL

AHHHHHH

can you save and quit mid-level in extra lives mode?

they probably said something ignorant and got called out

Same shit then

#

I still called him by title just like how I call davoth as dark lord

rose thistle
#

Or how we call doomguy slayer

stiff sorrel
#

is there anyone who wouldnt mind jumping into dms with me to help me troubleshoot why im not reciving the gunplestionist achivement in doom eternal? Its like the one thing stoping me from 100%ing the game on steam

rose thistle
#

I hear it bugs out, not sure what the fix is. You may just have to do another playthrough

stiff sorrel
#

well im not sure i actually mastered all the guns but im having trouble checking what i dont have mastered

rose thistle
#

is it just me or does the normal shotgun like kinda suck? its range feels so tiny and it doesn't do very meaningful damage unless you hit it perfectly, which is super hard on most of the fodder since they move around so much
and on anything more than fodder you'd just wanna SSG them

stiff sorrel
#

my playthrough was like 6 months ago so its been a second

rose thistle
stiff sorrel
#

yeah im there and it seems like I have everything mastered but I dont have the acheivemnt so im not positive

rose thistle
#

then it may have just bugged out
you're in the main campaign, right?

stiff sorrel
#

im in the fortress of doom atm

#

in a completed save

rose thistle
#

yeah
idk, if you've gotten all the mods, bought all the upgrades, completed all the masteries

stiff sorrel
#

do you know what it would look like if it wasnt mastered?

rose thistle
#

I think they glow brighter in the menu if mastered
but like if it's not it should be easy, the mastery upgrage will just say you don't have it and what you need to complete for it

stiff sorrel
#

Would you mind if i dmed you and just streamed my game to show you?

rose thistle

I just posted a screenshot

#

i need like a visualization of its spread because it feels inconsistent as hell

for cacodemons

rose thistle
inner moth
rose thistle
#

but every other weapon in the game maintains some reason to exist
you get the heavy cannon in the first level but it's still really good throughout

inner moth
#

so the shotgun is also used for its mods

rose thistle
#

ok but like
just using it as a shotgun sucks! what the hell!
