  • Want to just watch the fight? skip to 5:56 :)
    Doom Eternal came out a couple days ago and the game is a huge improvement over the 2016 iteration. The fights in general have a different pacing and the bosses feel quite a bit more unique (though i still prefer the 2016 boss-fights).
    The last fight against the Icon of Sin can be extremely brutal and unforgiving. It's hard to distribute your attention and handle all of the threats around you while still trying to learn the fight/boss. I hope this video helps out the people it reaches. Thank you for watching and good luck with your fights!

      same thing with me when i first did the fight. i spent the better part of an hour just trying to stay alive. i wasn't at all able to focus on the boss or anything else. i think the enemy spawns are tied to time spent within the encounter in order to match the lore of IOS becoming stronger as he spends more time on earth. taking out IOS faster makes the fight disgustingly easier

    This video has the most important piece of knowledge that I haven't seen any written guide have. I haven't tried this fight again after losing a million times to it but this one bit of knowledge I think will help a ton. And that is - the battle becomes more impossible the more time passes. I was watching your video and surprised you only had to fight one heavy demon (or maybe two) at a time when I was getting crushed fighting constant waves of 5. I was like "this boss is impossible!" But seeing how much difference it made to aggressively go after the IoS it suddenly looked very doable.
    Looks like it's basically, launch all weapons against IoS, find fodder to chainsaw, Crucible kill any heavy demons, launch all weapons against IoS. Repeat.

      That sucks. What difficulty were you playing on. I only just got it because I was really poor around launch, but I already beat it on Hurt Me Plenty, I started my Nightmare and Ultra-Nightmare runs, all in the same day.
      It's pretty fun. I just gotta master certain parts of each level on Nightmare, then do them on UN. But I'm totally not looking forward to the later levels. Goddamn Archviles again. They just get worse the more games they're in. I prefer the Summoners over the Archviles because while they aren't as powerful, I feel they'd operate much like the Prowlers in Eternal. Very quick and hard hitting, but also weak compared to others. But seeing the HD Archvile was pretty cool.
      I'm certain they're doing a third one in this 'New Doom' vein. Imagine having the Eternal and 2016 enemies at the same time. That sounds either amazing or the worst thing since Archviles.

    Okay, first and foremost I would like too thank you for making this video. After seeing you fight him (I'm about to fight him) I'm pretty comfortable with what needs to be done. I have not struggled at all with this game, not even the Marauders give me a challenge; However, the boss before him...
    That was the most irritating thing I've had to do in this game bar none. I would rather fight 10 Marauders at once than that stupid fight again. For some damn reason I couldn't get my shotgun chain to latch onto her after the first time I hit her. It was absolutely infuriating! I lost, I want too say 5 lives on her. Thankfully, this bosses life isn't regenerating and it's pretty straightforward. I'm on normal with 100% complete so far. I have to grab the last page and I'm done. I have 17 lives not including the three scattered across this level (just started).
    At any rate, thank you once again and wish me luck!

      These comments are saying what I'm thinking, but I often ignore my brain and do stupid things, so I started my UN run. I heavily implore it because you just gotta train like a madman. Practice on Nightmare and start your UN playthrough when you start your N one. That way you can train for one level and win it on UN after practicing it. And dont get the Unmakyr on UN unless you are Jesus. Because if you die in one of the Slayer Gates, I'm pretty sure you still lose your save.

    On the BFG, I haven't tried this yet but... would the Unmaykr actually be useful here? The spread-shot could hit multiple body parts for big damage at once and that might be handy. I know the BFG basically deletes 1 body part but I wonder if Unmaykr is technically more efficient.

    • @MA-on9xl
      @MA-on9xl 4 года назад +2

      No - if you have a full BFG going in, it is highly preferable to the Unmaykr. The Unmaykr chews up ammo way too quickly, whereas with the BFG if you’re close, aiming carefully, and not trying to hit a moving target, you have a guaranteed destroyed body part. Unmaykr is better for groups of enemies in tight spaces, where the BFG doesn’t have room to travel and have its tendrils hit everything. BFG is honestly better in 90% of scenarios.
