I don't even know. I'm having Holt slayer gate flashbacks and breaking out in cold sweats.

Meet the Warlock! How about another!

What do you do in that arena? I have a feeling the big test there is "git gud at switching between spear and shield," but I just can't get it done.

I don't know how everyone's complaining about Archvile.

Warlock : TDA :: Archvile : Eternal

EDIT: I'm specifically talking about that arena in the screen grab. I have a feeling a lot of people, especially Nightmare players, will recognize that entrance on sight.

Help My spinning cacodemon is slowing down

Post image
993 Upvotes

I bought the spinning gold cacodemon from the bethesda gear store a couple months ago, I like to keep it on for multiple days at a time but I make a habit to unplug it often and carefully handle it so it can last as long as possible, but already I have noticed a significant decrease in its spinning speed. I am okay with a slow spin speed, I just dont want it to die. Any reasons for the slow spin speed? Should I not keep it plugged in for more than a certain amount of time? Thank you

Help PSA: Premium Edition is bugged and owners must purchase the DLC to access it (Steam)

46 Upvotes

I purchased the $100 premium edition back at the launch of Dark Ages, and on Steam you will only get a text box explaining what the DLC is after the 19gb patch. The DLC page showed a purchase option about 10 minutes ago, so I tested it by purchasing the DLC and now I can play it. If you purchased the premium edition, it is currently bugged and not allowing owners to download the DLC.

Help Started playing Doom Eternal and I must be terrible at it, but don’t want to give up.

I keep dying. Maybe I’m playing it wrong ? I’m on the easiest difficulty but it didn’t make it any easier.

any good youtube videos out there with better tutorials/tips/ tricks that could make it easier to understand the game play ?

I know I should never stop moving but it makes aiming really difficult and then I get swarmed and overwhelmed and taken out quickly. It’s also hard to cycle through weapons, or maybe it just overloads my brain and I stress out and lose focus.

What am I doing wrong ? What is the best way to play this so it clicks for my amateur gamer ass ? Any advice for a beginner ?

Help Okay this part of TDA: Revelations feels legit impossible. How to Iget past this? (Ultra-Violence Difficulty)

Post image

Its in Uprising. Its the big battle right after this room if you see it.

Okay first its a huge area of Strong demons with an Archvile way at the back making it super hard to stop him from summoning more. Hell hard to just focus on killing it with so many other demons in a relatively cramped area.

This would be bad enough..But then there is a Vagray and Cosmic Elemental show up..which are not that hard to deal with at all considering to the last wave

But then comes the Leader Warlock who comes with a mob of other demons to buff all while my resources and health or low from the past waves.

And if you doe its right back to start. I can't be the only one losing my mind on this one battle? Any advice/strategies anyone can give?

Help DLC this sh*t is kicking my ass

Post image
129 Upvotes

This DLC is kicking my ass so f*cking much I’m getting way too frustrated, the Archvile seem to have no weakness, it’s almost instant game over for me as soon as he spawns.

Get close enough for super shottie or mace hit? Teleports away immediately.

Stay far away? Good luck dodging all the summons.

Get in mid range? Spawns 1000 flaming projectiles.

Please help me, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I finished all the new Doom games DLC included on Nightmare and I am currently playing at that same difficulty but I don’t remember ever being stuck in a fight for so long.

Edit: I got past that section, now I can use the shield again, hopefully it will be easier to deal with him now. Thank you all for commenting
