While he was whizzing around the level, all of a sudden he said, "Wait, what's that?" He had clipping off, which means that he could walk through otherwise "solid" objects. We went into John's office to look at the level (he had the only 21" screen).
#Doom 2 boss code#
I said that I had some possibilities roughed out and since he was there we could plug them into the code to see how they'd work. In fact, everyone but Romero had left, as I discovered when he came into the room I was using for "sound development." He sat down next to me and said that we needed a sound for the final boss to make when a player enters that level. Then things quietened down, and I supposed that Romero had left. Why? There could be only one reason - Romero is in the building! Otherwise, it was a quiet, unassuming office - better yet, a library. It was a late night and the walls were shaking at id Software.
#Doom 2 boss series#
It spawns a potentially endless series of monsters of demonic ilk, except for boss monsters ( cyberdemons and spiderdemons), lost souls, and all three kinds of possessed humans. This is what the player sees as the boss, but it has little to do with its functioning. Wall textures ZZZFACE1 through ZZZFACE9 are arranged to construct a demon face with a hole into its brain.

These are where the skull adorned cubes land and spawn a monster.

A monster spawner in front of the head launches spawn cubes.However, modern source ports allow for aiming freely and so can allow direct hits with any weapon. It starts with 250 hit points, but it is hard to hit due to its location deep in a hole, therefore it can only usually be damaged and killed by the blast radius of a rocket when playing levels that put the monster in the original location behind the wall. Romero's head is the thing that must be destroyed.Additionally, monsters are a single Doom thing, but the final boss is made up of a number of these: The final boss is not a monster in the technical sense, since it does not count towards the KILLS percentage at the end of a level, and is not affected by the command line parameters that affect standard monsters. The graphic and sound files refer to it by a series of different names such as "wall demon", "face", "boss brain" or "boss".Ī corresponding enemy character in Doom II RPG is called the Icon of Sin, and has a virtual avatar known as VIOS, which has taken control of the UAC's computer systems. In the text screens of TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment, it is called the demon-spitter and the Gatekeeper respectively. It is referred to in the Final Doom manual's introductory stories as Baphomet and Gatekeeper. In Doom II, the boss is not referred to by any specific name. Although only its head is visible, the endgame text indicates that the entity has a gigantic body as well. It appears as a massive, goat-like biomechanical head on a wall, with an exposed brain that allows it to spawn endless scores of demons. The final boss (often informally called the Icon of Sin because of the Doom II level of which it is a part) is the final boss of Doom II, in MAP30: Icon of Sin. For the final boss from Doom Eternal, see Icon of Sin (Doom Eternal). For information about the entity in Doom (2016), see Icon of Sin (Doom 2016).
