The biggest threat this encounter poses is not actually the Icon of Sin itself- it’s all the other demons that spawn around you. But though the boss has a strong legacy and remains a popular one among the DOOM fanbase to this day, the actual fight is not the most difficult- if you play your cards right. The Icon of Sin has a special place in the hearts of DOOM fans for many reasons, the primary being that John Romero’s head is literally the final boss in DOOM 2.
Cyberdemons have appeared as major enemies in DOOM games quite a few times over the years, but this encounter in particular has to be one of the most disappointing against one of them. Keep killing the little enemies that spawn while doing so, and turn around every once in a while to fire off the Soul Cube- rinse and repeat just a few times, and the boss fight is over. Though it’s equipped with a rocket launcher that can do devastating damage if it hits you, avoiding those hits is actually pretty easy- you just have to make sure you stay on the move, keep out of its line of sight, and use the spires around the Hell Hole for cover. The fight against this beast does not do justice to it intimidating physical appearance. And while many of those criticisms are fair, there’s still a lot to love in this game- sadly, the final boss fight against the Cyberdemon is not one of those things.
In this feature, we’ll be ranking all the final bosses in mainline DOOM games from worst to best.ĭOOM 3 catches plenty of flak from many series fans because of how different it was from its predecessors, with the game adopting a slower survival horror approach as opposed to the bombastic, in-your-face action DOOM is otherwise known for.
With DOOM Eternal right around the corner and promising even more epic battles against the forces of hell, now is the perfect time to look back on some of those that have already come. We’ve fought a lot of monstrosities from the depths of hell (literally) in DOOM games over the years, and some of the most intimidating of these have come in the form of final bosses.
