The Cyberdemon is the first boss in the game. You fight him at the end of Mission 9 (Lazarus Labs). The fight is fairly easy. In the first phase, he mostly fires rockets which you can easily dodge by running in circles around him. When he uses the laser beam, just do a double jump to the side. A great weapon to down him quickly is the Heavy Assault Rifle with the Micro Missiles Mod. The missiles inflict a lot of damage quickly. When his health is depleted, he will respawn again with a full health bar. He will now be throwing some projectiles at you. Do one jump (not a double jump) to dodge them. There is also a checkpoint at the start of the second phase. When the second phase starts, immediately use the BFG to take away a lot of his health. Then, use the Heavy Assault Rifle or Plasma Rifle to kill him while dodging the projectiles.
Defeating the Hell GuardsThe Hell Guards is the second Boss in the game. You fight them at the end of Mission 11: Necropolis. The fight consists of two phases. In the first phase, you fight only one of the Hell Guards. He has a shield and you can only damage him when the shield is down. Use a weapon that deals a lot of damage with each hit. The Gauss Cannon with Precision Bolt mod is recommended. Try to get headshots while using it. When he jumps at you, there will be some fire on the ground -- so make sure you jump when he does to evade the attack. Basically, all attacks the Hell Guards do can be evaded by double jumping (in both phases of the fight). In the second phase, there are two Hell Guards, but they do not use shields -- so you can kill them very quickly. When the second phase starts, use the BFG on the two enemies. This will take away a large portion of their health. The Heavy Assault Rifle with Micro Missiles mod deals a lot of damage. It also causes the enemies to drop health and ammo. Simply run around them in big circles and shoot rockets at them to quickly kill them.
Defeating Spider MastermindSpider Mastermind is the final Boss in the game. You fight her at the end of Mission 13: Argent D'Nur. This Boss has a lot of health. Make sure to enter this fight with full ammo for the BFG. There are two more ammo pick-ups in the Boss fight area.Shoot the Boss with the BFG in the brain. This will stun her. Quickly switch to your most powerful weapon and shoot the brain. While she is stunned from the BFG, you have a few seconds to deal huge damage. With a total of 5 BFG hits in the face and some weapon attacks, you can take away over half her health in a minute. The chaingun with the Mobile Turret mod works very well for shooting the Boss while stunned. It deals the most damage. For the rest of the fight, you can use the Gauss Rifle with the Precision Bolt mod. Just make sure you always aim at the brain. Hitting the legs does not inflict much damage. The Boss uses the following attacks and they can be countered in the indicated ways:
Electric Floor AOE attack: It will electrify the entire room. You must climb a pillar to stay safe. It deals a lot of damage if you do not get to safety.
Lasers: Evade by crouching/jumping.
Melee: Only used when the Boss comes close to you. Keep your distance on higher difficulties. On easy this does not matter much.
Plasma Rifle: It will shoot at you. It is easy to evade by walking around the Boss in big circles or double jumping to the side when she shoots at you.
Note: There is no checkpoint during the final Boss fight.
Happy Birthday Easter EggDuring the 'Titan's Realm' mission, you will reach an cavern area with lots of enemies and a yellow booster platform at the back. Walk up the stairs to your right and follow the wall along the second floor to the end. There is a hidden room behind a crack in the wall that you can jump up to reach. Although it looks like it is too small to get through the crack, you can enter the wall to find a skeleton with a party hat on and a 'Happy Birthday!' balloon and cake next to him.
Dopefish referenceThe Dopefish can be found as the logo on boxes of ramen noodles from 'Dopechan Noodles' found in various areas.
Fallout series referenceAt the start the game in the Prologue where you wake up and leave the area he was kept in, look at the bottom of the security door. You can see that a Mixom Manufacturing sticker has partially slid down, revealing that it was covering a Vault-Tec logo.
Skyrim referenceIn Mission 6, search the area near where you first encounter the Baron of Hell in the Kadingir Sanctum to find a cave with a hidden lever and a skeleton. The skeleton is wearing a Dovahkiin horned helmet and was shot in the knee with an arrow.
Terminator referenceJump into lava in the 'Foundry' mission to sink to your death while giving the thumbs up.
Easy 'A Toe Into Madness' trophyTo get the 'A Toe Into Madness' trophy, you must complete the first mission on the Ultra-Nightmare difficulty. This is a hardcore mode without checkpoints. If you die, you respawn at the very beginning of the mission. On this difficulty, you die in 3-4 hits and gain very little health and armor from pick-ups. The best strategy is to bait the enemies. Try to let them come to you one by one and stay as far back as possible. Use the alternate fire on the pistol to zoom in. A charge shot with the pistol can kill some enemies in one hit. The smallest enemies are easily defeated with melee attacks. This will drop more health than shooting them and saves ammo. Additionally, make sure you buy the 'Explosive Shot' mod for the shotgun at the field drone. It lets you fire a grenade that kills most enemies on a direct hit. It also has really good range and splash damage to kill multiple targets at once.
Easy 'Argent Fiend' trophyProgress in the single player campaign until you reach the final Boss. If you still have not fully upgraded health, armor, and ammo capacity, quit and replay the missions to get the collectables. Then, complete the campaign once you have fully upgraded health, armor, and ammo capacity to get the 'Argent Fiend' trophy.

Doom has arisen again. It’s tough. It’s bloody. But it’s not too serious for the now-traditional Doom Easter eggs. 2016’s game goes back to the series’ butch, action-oriented roots, albeit with added limb-tearing finishing moves that bring a satisfied grimace to your face not unlike the original Doomguy’s when he’s offloading a chaingun into a Cyberdemon.
Will Doom make the ranks of the best FPS games on PC?
This revamped take on Doom doesn’t take itself too seriously, and unlike its more horror-oriented predecessor, feels like a bombastic celebration of earlier games in the series. As such, there’s a panoply of easter eggs, winking nods, and entire old-school Doom levels tucked away in its metallic Martian corridors and eldritch hell-tunnels.
Without further ado, here are 14 lovely Doom Easter eggs, references and silly secrets for you to find. Happy hunting.
Demon Destruction mini-game
Doom’s gameplay is a relentless pendulum swinging between large-scale firefights and relatively peaceful moments where you can kick back, hunt for secrets, and, errr, play a Candy Crush-like minigame (or Bejeweled, for all ye old-timey gamers out there).
When you’re on the Lazarus Labs level, go to Olivia Pierce’s office (containing the weird meaty creature-things suspended in giant orange test tubes). To the left of the entrance, you’ll see a computer terminal with the classic ‘impaled man’ sprite. Just activate the computer and you’ll play Demon Destruction, a Match-3 game using enemies from the original Doom.
Demon Destruction scoreboard
Like every good retro-flavoured game, a session on Demon Destruction ends with a leaderboard that’s initially filled with ‘filler’ high scores. All the names and scores on this board actually refer to key names and dates surrounding the Doom games:
Names:
IdMOM_DJ: Donna Jackson, office manager at id Software since 1992, known as ‘id mom’
Olivia P.: Olivia Pierce, the main antagonist in Doom
K-C10UD: Kevin Cloud, artist at id Software since 1992, now executive producer
RPADuffy: Pat Duffy, id Software artist since Doom 2
ShaleVomit: Mystery id Software employee
Tenacious_Diaz: Mark Diaz, Doom programmer
Scores: A few billion square tiles for mac.
12101993: December 12, 1993 – Release date of the original Doom
9261983: Unknown
5132016: May 13, 2016 – Release date of this Doom
2014630: Beats me. Any suggestions?
832004: August 23, 2004 – Release date of Doom 3
666666: The number of the beast, twice. Doubly demonic!
592014: Mark Diaz was hired in May 2014. Possibly the exact date he was hired.
Soul Cube from Doom 3
In the same room as Demon Destruction, you’ll find that Ms. Pierce has also been dabbling with the Soul Cube from Doom 3, the devastating weapon that sucks the life from enemies and transfers them over to you by some strange satano-scientific means.
Unfortunately, the cube is a bit of a tease, as you can’t pick it up or use it.
Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3
Even though Doom 3 was dark and downbeat by comparison, it also had its fair share of sillies, the most famous of which was probably the great Super Turbo Turkey Puncher arcade game. Well, the latest iteration of the poultry-pounding game returns, and… it’s pretty much exactly the same.
There are several of these arcade cabinets throughout the game, one of which is on the Advanced Research Complex level, tucked away behind some crates in a storage room. It’s not as deep as Demon Destruction, but will give you a solid minute’s worth of chuckles.
Original Doom cover art meets Evil Dead
This ancient-looking piece of paper seems to suggest that Doomguy’s war on the demons was prophesied for millennia. Alternatively, it’s just a nice little nod to Don Ivan Punchatz’ cover art for the original game. It has hints of Evil Dead: Army of Darkness too, where we see a page in the Necromonicon that depicts Ash falling from the sky to become the ‘Hero from the Sky’ who’ll save the people from the Deadite armies.
An erstwhile adventurer with an injured knee
Yes, it may be a bit 2011, but it seems that Skyrim’s infamous ‘arrow to the knee’ meme lives on in Doom. For those of you who missed this great moment in meme history, one of the most famous lines of stock dialogue in Skyrim sees a guard reminisce about having once been an adventurer, before he took – yep. And this became a meme phenomenon because, well, memes. Vidyo mac.
Maybe the joke here is that the once-great meme is now long dead, doomed to burn in the fires of hell for all eternity, never to resurface. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it…
Terminator 2 reference
Falling into a pit of magma or molten metal is never fun, especially if it’s one you can’t get out of and it’s just a matter of time until you die an excruciating death. But id Software did their best to soften the blow, as when Doomguy sinks into the fiery liquid for his death animation, he manages to give one last thumbs-up before going under.
And who else is cool and 90s enough to also do such a gesture? Why, none other than Arnie in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Classic Doom levels
Some of the worst kept secrets and greatest easter eggs in Doom are the classic maps hidden in each of the game’s levels. Find them, and you get step back in time to levels from Doom 1 and 2, complete with pixellated textures, old-school pickups, and barrels filled with green explosive goo. In a surreal twist, Doomguy and the enemies in these areas are from the 2016 version of Doom.
Each classic Doom level is unlocked in the same way: find a large yellow lever, pull it to hear a synthy 90s-sounding chime, and nearby a door or wall will open that leads you back to some of the great levels from Doom’s early days. Those old-school Doom riffs will bring tears of nostalgic joy to your eyes.
You ARE the original Doomguy
When you’re rampaging around one of the classic levels in Doom, should you complacently shoot one of the explosive barrels thinking that a silly sprite can’t possibly kill the glossy 2016 version of Doomguy, you’ll die.Take it from someone who’s tried it…
But even in death Doom finds some humour, and as your giblets bounce around in front of you and your own head rolls into view (making you wonder from whose perspective you’re actually playing the game), you’ll see the familiar grinning face of the original Doomguy inside the helmet.
Fallout 4 and Doom in the same universe?
Ever eager to squeeze their biggest IPs into this easter egg-stravaganza, Bethesda had the heavier, vault-like doors in the Mars base made by none other than Vault-tec, the company behind the notoriously dodgy underground vaults in the Fallout universe.
Look closely at the vault doors in Doom, and you’ll see that hidden under the ‘Mixom’ logo is the Vault-tec sign. The big question now is, is this just an irreverent easter egg, or proof that Doom and Fallout exist in the same universe? Let’s get those tinfoil hats on and start speculating…
Dopefish
The history of Dopefish is a strange one. The relatively unmemorable enemy from the id’s Commander Keen series has gone on to make more appearances as an easter egg than it has as an actual character in games.
Doom continues this strange old tradition, as images of Dopefish have appeared both on the sides of lockers, and on a box of takeaway noodles. Like so many inexplicably popular means and in-jokes in videogames, Dopefish is truly eternal.
Doom 2016 Play A Game Of Demon Destruction
Happy birthday to… someone
It seems that even in hell, they have enough sense of tradition to celebrate people’s’ birthdays, as seen here with this sweet little scene of a birthday balloon, cake and skelly with its arms splayed out.
Is this a reference to the fact that it was Doom’s birthday on Friday 13th? Or is this perhaps the skeleton of a young Jason Voorhees, who also had the same unfortunate birthday? If you choose to be a party pooper and shoot the balloon, you’ll hear a damning ‘booooo’ from what sounds like a group of 7-year-olds – and as well all know, a group of 7-year-olds is inherently pretty hellish.
Head on a stick
Doom Play A Game Of Demon Destruction Walkthrough
It had to be in there somewhere. The legendary head of John Romero on a stick that turned out to be running the entire show in Doom 2 is one of the most macabre and famous images from the series, and it kind of makes a comeback here.
Ok, so we don’t know for certain that this skull-on-a-stick in a Doom-branded helmet is definitely Romero because, well, we don’t know Romero’s exact skull measurements. But the fact that it’s surrounded by what appears to be a monstrous jawbone suggests these could be the remains of Doom 2’s final boss, the Icon of Sin, inside of which was Romero’s head. See what I’m getting at?
Icon of Sin
An even more blatant nod to Doom 2’s big baddie comes late in the game, when you’re wandering around the murky Necropolis, you’ll find the Icon of Sin in its full exposed-brain glory right there on the wall!
Shooting into its weak spot will cause it to emit that sound it made when summoning creatures in Doom 2, as well as that famous demonic soundbite, where it says “To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero” in a distorted and reversed voice. Shooting it also causes it to fire to unleash a skull cube, inside which you’ll find a Doomguy collectible.
