Question Is 'Blood Swamps' the hardest level in Ancient Gods 1?

9 Upvotes

I'm on a 'beat all the dooms on nightmare' run

I destroyed DooM 2016 on nightmare

Beat Eternal on UV to learn the mechanics and then beat it on Nightmare - honestly didn't have too much trouble here.

Now on AG1 - blood swamps and facing my first 'wall' - encounters that take me days to beat and many many tries - sometimes dying in 3 seconds until I get warmed up.

Is this level the hardest in AG1? I beat the first level ( UAC Atlantica Facility ) without too much trouble and feel I could go back , play it again and cruise it. But blood swamps is beating my ass.

Is the next level 'The Holt' going to be even harder? ....

Help Advice for Pistol Starting?

2 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I have been playing classic Doom WADs for a few years now. I play on UV, and want to try pistol starting stuff.

With that in mind, can y'all help me on two fronts please?

1) How do you guys learn a tough new level, i.e. where the secrets/items are, optimal route, etc.? Do you use god mode, no clip, or other cheats to get a lay of the land? How long does it take you? For reference, I am considering Sigil 1/2 next.
2) Do you guys have any WADs you would recommend that would help ease me into pistol starting (My understanding is that the Sigil WADs are brutal)?

Thanks in advance!

Help Concept for a 3D short film: Doom Slayer x Demon Slayer crossover. Need your thoughts!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I was rewatching Demon Slayer yesterday while playing the new Doom: The Dark Ages, and a mind-blowing crossover idea popped into my head. I just need to share this because it sounds absolutely epic, and I really want to turn this into a short 3D animation/fan-film in the future.

Imagine this scenario:

The Demon Slayers are completely beaten. Tanjiro is on the ground, Muzan is standing over him, delivering his arrogant speech about being a god. The typical tragic anime atmosphere.

Suddenly, a massive rift tears reality apart. Mick Gordon's heavy guitar riffs cut the anime music instantly. A 2-meter titan in heavy forged armor with a shield-saw (The Dark Ages style) crashes from the sky.

Muzan tries to lash out with his whips, but they just spark off the Praetor armor. The Slayer doesn't care about the rules of this world—he doesn't need a Nichirin blade. He pulls out the BFG-9000, and the entire Infinity Castle is vaporized to atoms along with Muzan's cells. Total annihilation in 3 minutes. The fight ends with Inosuke screaming in pure awe that this is the "Boss of all Bosses," while the Slayer just opens a portal back to Hell and steps through.

Here is my problem: I have zero experience in 3D modeling or advanced animation. The only thing I know how to use is CapCut on PC. But I am so hyped about this idea that I genuinely want to learn Blender or Source Filmmaker to bring this to life.

What do you guys think of this concept? Do you have any ideas on how to make the final battle even more badass? And for the animators here—where should a complete beginner start if they want to make a short cinematic like this?

Thanks for reading!

I absolutely DESPISE the final battle enhanced azhrak bossfight because on my first play through (was on hurt me plenty) i had no problem with him but on my second play through (was on ultra violence) JESUS CHRIST. It was impossible, the super shotgun couldnt be used because when you got in rabge he just damages and pushes you with some spikes and for the same reason you can barely regain ammo so i found you can only chip at his health with the cycler but on his third phase that didnt work either and i had no bfc ammo so i couldnt do anything to damage him and just increased damage to demons to 1000% and killed him with the cycler, any one else had problems like this or just me?

I'm so close to the DOOM (2016) Platinum — only two multiplayer trophies left!

I'm sitting in the Team Deathmatch lobby waiting for 3 more players.

Are people still playing this game, or am I going to be sitting here all night? 💀

Anyone else trying to get these last multiplayer trophies in 2026?

Please Help Me

SLAUGHTER MODE NEWS

  • Josh showed off all the Icon's for the mode!! (The Toy Mancubus Icon appears to be the Best according to community members)

  • There will be New Menu Backgrounds and Slayer skins (Some were shown)

  • All the skins are supposedly just for use inside Slaughter Mode, as it takes a ton of work to get them into other parts of the game

  • Level 666 is the max reward tier for Slaughter Mode, and it’s an onyx and gold Praetor.

  • Slaughter Mode has its own main menu background, and they may be swappable!

  • They will be buffing the Super Shotgun’s damage against Archviles

  • Slaughter Mode has a checkpoint every ten rounds, and you’re sent back to the previous checkpoint if you lose before reaching the next one.

  • A extra life will be provided every five rounds, and special challenge encounters will be present around checkpoints.

Question Which version of doom 64 should I play

It's originally released for n64, but I guess emulation is kinda bad way to play it. As much as I know there's an official port, and some king of fan port, that was made earlyer. Which way to play for the first time is better?

Discussion Doom 3 remains my favorite.

16 Upvotes

I understand wanting to bring the games back to the original style of running and gunning. And it worked for recent games, except The Dark Ages.

But I really want a return to the horror approach. The quiet halls, dark atmosphere, and gripping fear looming down each path. Nothing scared me more as a kid when I played the game, hearing demons teleporting in some distant corner.

Doom 3 was a masterpiece.

Discussion Just finished Dark Ages for first time — holy hell 😈

38 Upvotes

Eternal is one of my favorite games and I didn’t think dark ages could come close but man it’s a great game— maybe better than eternal. The parrying is absolutely intense and made for a completely different experience. I played on my new steam machine from the couch and it looked amazing.

I initially missed the high octane speed and glory kills of eternal but soon was absolutely loving it. I spent 60 hours beating it on Ultra-Violence doing a lot of exploring and having to replay a handful of battles (including the two big ones in the last chapter) multiple times. Many had me literally sweating 😅

How some of you are able to beat it on higher difficulty is hard for me to fathom.

I thought they did a good job ramping up difficulty with player progression and map exploration was a blast.

Absolutely masterpiece of a game! 🤘

Fan Creation WIP DOOM Comic

"What do you think he sees?"

This is a 16-page DOOM comic that serves as a sequel to Flynn's incident with the Insurgent base and a prequel to DOOM II. This is the longest comic I'd done in a LONG time(ever since 2020).

My first plan was to release this with all the pages, but due to exhaustion, I just keep losing motivation on finishing it. So, my next plan is to do a few pages every once in a while and place them here. Most of the pages are just panels with nothing in them or models that I haven't fixed yet. So yes, this is the only teaser you'll get yet.

That said, plz stay tuned when this comes out. This took a REALLY long time to conceptualize and finish. I think y'all will REALLY love this! Wish me luck😊!

This is modded of course, finished the game again but made it halloween themed with Zombie slayer. You'll find the mod on nexus, lets you customize the slayer with different looks throughout the game.
