Doom/Doom2 tactics and level guides!
Graham Marsh
Sorry about The pause folks, but my newsstand packed up and I haven't
been able to write or recieve any news. Anyways, I've been sent email by
people who I will thank at the real end of the level guides. To kick
off, here's the enemy guide. So you can know what enemy to take out with
what weapon.
Here's what it looks like:
NAME: A bit obvious really.
APPEARANCE: What it looks like.
DIFFICULTY: How hard the enemy is to kill
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: What weapon you should use to take the enemy down.
STRATEGY: How to avoid being killed and kill them.
#1
NAME: Zombie/posessed trooper
APPEARANCE: Green haired army type bloke with a huge pistol.
DIFFICULTY: Easy
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: Shotgun.
STRATEGY:They can be wiped out at a distance with a shotgun. But get
close in if you want to be sure of killing them. They miss a lot.
#2
NAME:Shotgun guy.
APPEARANCE: Slapper with black armour and a shotgun.
DIFFICULTY: Fairly easy.
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH:Shotgun
STRATEGY:Don't get too close or they'll half kill you with one shot.
Strafe and blast with your shotgun.
NAME:chaingunner/Heavy weapon dude
APPEARANCE:Another slapper. But with red armour and a chaingun.
DIFFICULTY:Medium
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: Combat shotgun(double barrel)
STRATEGY:These guys are EVIL! Shoot quick with your combat shotgun. If
you don't kill them first time, either circle them 'till your gun
reloads or run off and hide for awhile. Then BLAST 'EM.
NAME:imp(AARRGGHH!!)
APPEARANCE: Brown alien/mutant type thing with alot of horns.
DIFFICULTY:Easy-Medium
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: Shotgun
STRATEGY: Just dodge the fireballs they heave at you, and take 'em down
with the shotgun.
NAME: Demon

DIFFICULTY:Medium
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: combat shotgun/shotgun
STRATEGY: Walk backwards and a couple of shells oughta do the job.
NAME:LOST SOUL
APPEARANCE:Big floaty flaming skull.
DIFFICULTY:easy
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: super shotgun/shotgun/rockets
STRATEGY: There's not much you need to know about this guy, He's pretty
easy to kill. But don't use rockets up close!(We all know what happens
then.)

DIFFICULTY: Quite hard

DIFFICULTY:Annoyingly hard
BEST TAKEN OUT WITH:Rockets or plasma
STRATEGY:Try to avoid the plasma. If you should find yourself red eyed
with a big yellow fizzy-thing in the middle of your screen fire a rocket
at where the thing's coming from. When the yellow thing stops, run like
mad, turn, fire, run , fire etc.... Do this quick or you'll die.

Sorry, Graham, gotta disagree with you on a couple:
>>NAME: Demon
>>APPEARANCE: Pink big-headed two-legged fast mover.
>>DIFFICULTY:Medium
>>BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: combat shotgun/shotgun
>>STRATEGY: Walk backwards and a couple of shells oughta do the job.
I prefer the chainsaw - no ammo loss, and it's FUN, too!!
>>NAME: Hell knight
>>APPEARANCE: Big white goat legged thing with green fists.
>>DIFFICULTY: Quite hard
>>BEST TAKEN OUT WITH: Super shotgun.
>>STRATEGY:Avoid his green fireballs and don't let him scratch you.
I use the shotgun only if I'm out of rockets - two or three and he's gone.
Of course, that's just my opinion - I could be wrong.

Episode one, Map one.
When the game starts, make a left turn into a room with stairs. Run up
them, take out the shotgunners if you're in ultra violence, and pick up
the armour. Look at the pillars, Depending on what ver. You're in(Only
really old versions don't have this) You'll probably see a switch on
one, push it. Head back out the doorway and hang a left and open the
door, blast the men and if you're in a harder difficulty level there's
blokes behind the door. Pick up the clips and armour bonuses and walk
round the back of the building type thing. Take out the zombie man and
any other enemies in the big acidy room (including the imp on the
ledge). Walk along the zig zag pathway and turn right, push the browny
section on the wall to find it's a secret door. Go through, pick up the
medikits if you need them and walk into the open space. Run across the
acid, getting the mega armour on your way. Head back the way youi came
and turn right and open the door. Take out imp and other enemies and
open the exit door. Don't push the switch yet, instead, pick up the
bonuses and walk back out to the acid room. Walk onto the lowered ledge
the imp was on and pick up the shotgun and shells in the room behind,
remembering to take out the shotgunner(ultra violence) on your way in.
Walk to the beginning of the room. Stop just before the shadow starts.
Turn to face the ledge, back into the shadow and RUN(right shift) into
the room behind the ledge and onto the lowered lift by the wall. (Some
really old versions don't have this) walk along the corridor, picking up
bonuses on the way. Drop out the window and walk along the zigzag path.
Open the door. Go tto the exit and push the switch.
Tomorrow, Episode 1 map 2.
