The Demons

[Lord Kaizen]

I just took a peak at the Prima strategy guide last weakend to get a look at the monsters and weapons. I'm not sure if this was for the PC version or the Xbox, but I was disapointed by what I saw.

There apears to be no Baron of Hell, Pain Elemental, Specter, Spider Mastermind or Arachnotron - I saw the artwork for the Doom 3 'tron but it's not pictured in the guide. Was it scrapped? :(

In addition there is:

Two forms of the zombie commando - one with the traditional chaingun and one with a deformed and bloated arm that ends with a hook-like tentacle.

The Trite - an upside-down lostsoul that moves about on spider-like legs that resemble elongated finger bones.

Another spider-like creature simular to the Trite but with a kind different of head.

The Cherub - a cupid-like creature with the legs and abdomen of a bee.

A zombie boss - a zombie torso mounted on a pair of tank treads.

A boss simular in form to Quake's Vore



I feel that alot of the monsters don't look very Doomish or demon-like. I absolutely hate the way the imp looks, especially the spider eyes. The arch-vile would look great if it wasn't for the lobster claws. The Cherub doesn't fit in well. However the lost souls and revenant look cool, a and the new cacodemon is a definate improvment over the original. Plus the Hell Knight looks perfect!

BTW, can anybody please show me where to get images of these monsters? I only want stills.

i for one am glad that there is no pain elemental in Doom 3 because they were just a huge pain in the arses. i havent gotten far enough to show you all the monsters. however there is one that wasnt mentioned above, and that is a spider demon, like a real big spider with i think a female torso. it shoots spiky things at you. i havent seen the zombie with the tentacle arm yet thank god.

The lost souls were anoying as fuck in the old games, but in this one they are much faster and harder to hit. A pain elemental would either be impossible, or would sit there and belch out lost souls at an extreemly slow rate.

They completely took out all spider enimes the lil and big ones. i think the hell nights look like crap they seem too big to me.

Has anyone played it on Nightmare yet?

Yeah it is, the Quake Vore looking boss. It throws spiky things? *shocked* Hmmm, maybe it really is a VORE! :)

I think the new Hell Knight is arse kickin' , definatley the better looking of all the new monsters. But they should have made a new Baron of Hell that looks simular to the Hell Knight but leaning more toward the classic design. I really hate that imp. I want to see an imp that lookes like the demons from "Tales From the Crypt: Demon Night"!

oh that i forgot about her, i meant like the mastermind with the chain gun. she seemed to be moving the objects with her mind to me.

[Nick man]

Perhaps some of these demons are in nightmare.

i doubt it, theres a list of codes that you can use to spawn monsters and i didnt see any spider mastermind
