How to easily beat the final boss in DOOM Eternal | Doom Eternal final boss fight guide/walkthrough

[@the23gamer91]

Pro tips: shot at the Icon of Sin until it dies.

[@mihajlocvijetic1868]

Yeah but you need to be quick because the longer the icon of sin is on Earth the stronger he will become The game doesn't stress that enough

[@backlynx]

definitely helps. thanks

[@backlynx]

this is def a pro tip. the enemy spawns really do seem to get so insane after spending too much time on a stage

[@the23gamer91]

@@backlynx yep, focusing little enemies is a waste of time and they really spawn faster and faster.

The icon of sin took me about 40 mins without even failing at all. The crucible spawns definitely saved me.

That takes too long. Incase you didnt know, the longer the icon of sin is on earth the stronger it becomes. !!!!

[@backlynx]

brother, my first run took me so damn long. i had no clue what i was doing and the enemies were so friggen overwhelming. i spent like 40 min in the first stage simply picking up crucible and trying my best to live 😂 i sucked, it sucked

[@AndroidA258]

i dont know why but when i did this, there were wayyy too many mobs, i coudlnt even focus the boss

[@Sheogorath-]

I used bfg on boss when to many mobs spawned, it cleared the map for some time

[@backlynx]

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

[@mrsuntastc]

backlynx I think you are right cause the first time I did it it lasted an hour and near the end there was a lot of cyber mancubus whiplash etc but when I came back with infinite ammo cheat to enjoy a bit more the crucible I never saw any whiplash and the spawn was I’d say 1/10 of what it was on my first time

[@Servus000P]

I had five "barons of hell" behind me the whole time xD. It took me 1 hour to beat him.

[@jakson95i]

yeah for me it was 4 pain elementals at all time

[@kevinmorales4405]

Just beat this in nightmare on ps4. This part was something else. Mastering arenas and mastering this felt different lol

[@Chaosdude341]

Incredible work completing on controller.

[@backlynx]

hell yeah, congrats and good work dude. yeah the pacing and arena design in this doom are pretty jarring compared to expectations. the last fight was so damn overwhelming for me to learn at first (even on UV).. i was so focused on surviving against the ridiculous amounts of enemies not realizing that they seemed to get worse the longer the stage went on

[@whiteknight3929]

Just did the same on Xbox, man he's hard! I really want to beat ultra nightmare but it seems close to impossible at the moment.

[@narukami6364]

Quti piez On a Joycon? Probably. On any other controller nowadays? Not so much. It’s not that deep when you’ve been using a controller all your life.

[@diegotonelli9646]

Quti piez i did it with a controller on the xbox

[@8eewee]

I nearly burned out on this fight. I was just glad it was over. Less than glad even, I was just tiredly staring at the credits roll by.

[@zzodysseuszz]

Honestly bro I nearly dropped the game on ultra violence. This kinda destroyed my enjoyment.

[@vwr0527]

A lot of my deaths were from the Icon punching straight into the upper floors randomly. It was so hard to predict and pretty much one shots you. I think the problem was I was not breaking armor pieces fast enough. If he gets bored he does that "punch straight" move.

[@RacingSnails64]

You can chainsaw or glorykill enemies as he does undodgable moves like that for complete invincibility

[@Jerryggggg-yb2wy]

VERY IMPORTANT TIP, do it fast cause the longer the icon of sin is on earth the stronger it becomes

[@salt_factory7566]

We need final sin master level where all enemies are replaced by marauders

[@goatnonagoat]

@@backlynx absolutely! Thank you for the video this actually helped me a ton. I was steam rolling through levels on that same difficulty (ultra violence) and got here and kind of had a basic idea of what I should do but you helped me with some things and next time I played it I smashed that boss out in about 5 minutes as well. So thank you very much and I am now a new subscriber!

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

backlynx I was shocked to see that your fight ended almost exactly after destroying the last part. Mine does not, it once went on for another minute or so, enemies still spawning, Icon still attacking...

[@TheCaliMack]

Kinda weird that I sort of expected the Icon of Sin to be even bigger than this design but... Not gonna complain.

[@nathansales6736]

Is it because of Titan's Realm in 2016?

[@TheCaliMack]

@@nathansales6736 probably that. The doom games made the head look towering compared to Doom Eternal. Might just be me though.

[@ararepotato1420]

From what I heard the devs wanted him to be bigger, but it couldn't run smoothly enough so they had to make him smaller.

[@backlynx]

yeah he's till pretty badass looking but i do wish that the fight (and other boss fights in this game) were a little more along the lines of 2016 doom where the focus felt about entirely placed on the boss(es) at hand. i appreciate the newer fight pacing and designs but definitely prefer the older style since it felt more satisfying for me personally. like you though, not gonna complain 😄

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

The Slap Yep, this size was definitely due to technical limitations, I mean, he walks around through the level as you're playing! if we needed him to be a bit smaller so we can witness that; then so be it :)

[@Chaosdude341]

Thank you so much for including the narration skip. Excellent video, excellent strat. Cheers.

How do you prevent hundreds of mancubi spawning? Every time i play there's five to ten mancubi spawned before i even get a shot in on the dude

[@tezka2]

NV wayyy to different from UV, it took me like 5 hours to beat the boss

[@backlynx]

it seems that the more time you spend in a stage with IOS, the more ridiculous/overwhelming the enemy spawns become. when i first tried this fight without knowing what to do.. i had no time to breathe or focus boss with the ridiculous amounts of enemies there were

[@backlynx]

this is pretty misleading. i had the same issue when i first tried the fight on UV without knowing what to do. the amounts of major enemies was wildly overwhelming and i spent the better part of an hour just running around trying to survive. I think the fight spawns more and more tougher enemies the more time that you spend in it to match the lore of IOS becoming stronger over time on earth

[@MondySpartan]

@@backlynx So...just like in Doom II then, you have to make sure you don’t spend too long on the arena or in the end there’ll be lot of enemies interfering your way.

[@xaviersmith8456]

The first time I fought the Icon of Sin, my game crashed in the second phase, second time I glitched on the floor, then I beat him the third time.

[@paynoattentionplease]

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.

[@preacherpayne1628]

Hey bro I appreciate it. About the 12th time I attempted the fight getting killed at the last sliver of health it had I almost put the game down for a while. Thank you for dumbing it down so even a pleb like me could understand.

[@daffy929]

I wish all you people about to embark on your first Ultra Nightmare boss fight with the icon of sin very good luck and god speed.

[@SkyblueStarmoon]

Having just went through my 2nd playthrough under the “Can’t Perfect Perfection” milestone it feels good to see a strategy to keep in mind when I’m more properly built for it. Especially when I later do the Ultra Nightmare run.

[@floating8016]

5:40 oof that damage loop would have killed u on nightmare

[@jankrnac3535]

I played it on Ultra violence and I am supriced he was able to attack on short distance so much time. Mostly I tried that with ignoring enemies I had literally everyone in the back and arena was absolute nightmare just to moving in.

[@lonew0lfclaw859]

I completed the game today on ultraviolence. Took me about 17 hours to complete. Got all the secrets collectibles and everything. Except the cheat codes in fortress of doom cuz i dont care for them. Final sin i complete in 45 minutes. That involved incessant and tireless dying and reloading of checkpoints. Finally i made it. Felt good.

[@Sinn0100]

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!

[@gamevidsnstuff5805]

Dude. Thanks so much for this video. On UV, this game is very challenging. But the boss was literally making me tempted to wimp out and use the sentinel armour. But I watched this whole video and started a practice turn just to run around and do the ice burn combo, which then turned into a completed run. I'm glad they let you die after you get past stage 1, because I died the first time on the 2nd part. Thanks man! Now I can do the master levels. Subbed.

[@impointless5855]

The whole tactic is BFG on large areas,Ballista on arms,Heavy Cannon up close

[@backlynx]

that strat for sure works but i tried to focus on general gameplay tips and strategies that encompass all weapons and play-styles that players may prefer/be used to. not all players will consistently land shots with the bfg, not all will be comfortable with placing ballista shots from a distance - and tons of players won't even have the heavy cannon endless missiles

[@impointless5855]

@@backlynx BFG is best used on large areas like the head and body,for it being slow but very powerful.The ballista is best on mid range because of its speed .The Heavy Cannon is not as required.That's because it only gives a small amount of micro missiles.You can use any gun as long as you deal consistent damage

[@sebk8095]

[@TheVaultDweller-oi9ij]

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.

[@solomon9655]

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]

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.

i really hope the video helped out with your attempts! something i wanted to include (but didn't cause i wasn't really certain) was that i think the enemy spawns within the stages are based on time within the encounter as opposed to anything else.. so working quickly through the fight actually should make it a lot easier - so trying to get a really good start to the fights like the starts i had within the video should genuinely make it much easier

In fact, I don't even really know how I'm to get past the Gladiator or any of the later levels past the couple before Urdak. From there, it'll be pure, unbridled, painful agony. But if I do it, I'll let you know. If I remember. No doubt it's possible, but high doubt I'll do it. A quarter of it is faith, another is luck, another is skill, and the last is bullshit luck mixed with divine hope and unspeakable hatred. And I dont have much experience in arena shooters. I haven't even played a Serious Sam game before. All I really got is the new Shadow Warrior and the New Doom games. So, high chance I'm screwed, but try it yourself. You might surprise yourself.

if you'd like to work on ultra-nightmare, try getting back to this encounter on nightmare by repeating the level in your N playthrough and run through it while applying the tips from this vid. you'll be surprised how trivial it becomes, even on nightmare. the gladiator is the major reason i'm dodging UN for now 😂

[@TheVaultDweller-oi9ij]

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.

I know Im going to sound like an ass, but I actually thought the Icon of Sin was not that hard even on ultra violence (tried the level on nightmare too, died several times before reaching Icon of Sin lol). tons of resources (probably way too many... but Im not complaining) that just conveniently spread around by the demons for the Doom Slayer lol youre never out of ammo with the chainsaw. you can flame belch + grenade the mob for quick health and armor. bfg + crucible when it's getting a little bit overwhelming. and boom.. youre done

Didn’t see this comment but the BFG does more damage the farther away you are and the long distance it travels so if you can hit your shots it’s far better to shoot from the other side of the arena as it will do huge damage.

[@DiNi4o2AydenGamer]

I wish the game had a boss fight selection. Like it lets you go into any level straight to the boss instead of dealing with everything.

I'm playing on the level under UV and I'm seeing *way* more enemies that I see here. Sometimes two Mancubi spawn in front, turn around to run and there's another, or a cyber across the map spewing on me and my escape path. I see people do no damage runs and I can't see how they can be missed by *every* *single* enemy that spawns in behind them. No matter how good you are, you always have a blind spot an no one I've watched seems to be spinning at 30rpm. Even taking a horizontal jump pad, I get hit 2/3 times by imps or gargoyles from around the map. Clearly, I suck, but how does any amount of suckage control the number of critters on the map? And, yes, I usually take my meds, so it's probably not an hallucination.

[@711_skiddlz]

Finished it on UV already, but watching this to make sure I get the achievement for extra life mode

[@backlynx]

hell yeah, i hope it actually helps in some way! for me, i had ridiculous improvements within encounters by just practicing and trying different things during replays. hope you EL playthrough goes well, i'm sure you'll be fine if you play it cautiously.. good luck!

[@711_skiddlz]

@@backlynx I finished it a couple days ago and now have the platinum trophy for the game, thank you for your help.

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

Bean Water How tough was Extra Lives, bro? I'm running it now. Up to Cultist Base with 14 lives. I finished the game on HMP though.

[@711_skiddlz]

@@takoshihitsamaru4675 I did my first playthrough on UV and extra life on HMP, its not very hard as long as you play it safe and dont take stupid risks, boss fights were all 10x easier because I was used to them (ask if you need tips) and finished on 30 extra lives.

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

Bean Water Controller?

[@nickclyde]

I followed the steps and easily beat it. Thank you.

[@tectonical5347]

i think when you are further away comboing the ballista with sniper shots from the heavy cannon could up the damage to the arms pretty drastically.

[@ianm3262]

Just beat it on nightmare on PS4. Now *THIS* is a serious clench fest. Phew!

[@nonameisgoodenuf8689]

This video really helped so thank you

[@jankrnac3535]

Wait, cruicibles were respawning in 1.0?! I am sure I had limited sword in 6.66 version.

[@blewfish1]

see there’s this thing called quick switching which allows you to smash him to bits in like 4 seconds

[@twezzy5960]

You should try ultra Nightmare oh man that was hectic

[@backlynx]

i'm down to do it on nightmare but uhhh, i'll pass on ultra :'D - also, the fight stages get way more insane the longer you spend in them. the quicker you complete the stages, the better off you are. enemy spawns get more overwhelming with time, at least that's how it seems. there shouldn't be much a difference on nightmare or even the easier difficulties outside of the damage taken and frequency of more brutal attacks

[@dujardincounters]

UN mode you have no extra lives and is fucking insane. You get sentinel armor where the free guys are but that doesn't do much.

[@TheVaultDweller-oi9ij]

Tell me your secrets! I must know how! In all seriousness, what strats did you use? I just started my UN and Nightmare runs today, and I feel really good about maybe doing this. I've only had it for like 4 days and I have been playing only this. Any advice on certain boss battles or scenarios, such as deleting an Archvile from existence in less then 5 seconds?

[@loganhebert7475]

Honestly, doing ultra nightmare, bfg was only for when I got over whelmed by enemies, I just spammed his armor with guns and took 20 minutes. I noticed in other peoples play through on lower difficulties that weren't getting butt fucked by a million super heavies. Just happy I never saw tyrant or doom hunter.

[@twizzler1136]

The doom slayer has killed the icon of sin TWICE. You shouldn’t forget that, because that makes him even more badass
