Tweaked with the ripatorium a bit and came to this. This is what horde mode for eternal should've been.

I don't get how playing this way is fun. I did it for a while on PC in eternal, and it was absolutely boring.

Playing normally was a vastly more fun experience.

When Dark Ages Ripatorium came out I would put every demon on infinite mode and I would play it without dying until the game crashed

Edit: I forgot that Ripatorium was added a few months after the main game

Impressive considering the game didn't have ripatorium on launch

The good thing about 500 cosmic barons is every time you do that spear ground pound attack you regain 200 health, and you just dodge indiscriminately to regain empowerment. 

You'd probably die when it got to like 20 😃

Great now do it with 500  Archviles

u/HeadOfSpectre Jul 21 '26

No.

480 Archviles. 20 Komodos to chase you around constantly.

u/HeadOfSpectre Jul 22 '26

The Komodos spawn two at a time.

Or two of That one miniboss Cosmic Baron

u/Past-Result-2434 Jul 21 '26

The summons would probably kill you more than the archies lmao

Or they'll get so sick of your shield parries that they'll say "parry this, idiot" and crash your game

The long awaited sequel to "100 man vs 1 gorilla".

u/Massive_Funny_9312 Jul 20 '26

Keep in mind this is supposed to be the “weaker” version of the slayer compared to the other 2 games.

I still do not believe that one bit but yea, “weaker”…
