I was Googling the Doom Bestiary one day and discovered to my amazement that
there was not an easily found and comprehensive site detailing the Doom2
monsters. So, in an effort to fix an egregious wrong, I have compiled here
photos of the demons along with descriptions and the type of damage they can do,
as well as some hints and tips on how to defeat these bad boys. So, without
further ado, here you go, in order of difficulty.

If this guy was part of your family,
he would be the retarded cousin that nobody wants to come around.
Slow, physically and mentally, it doesn't take a whole lot to
dispatch him A couple of well placed shots from your handgun will
put him down. As long as you're not stupid enough to stand there and
LET him shoot you, you won't have any problems with this particular
pain in the ass. If you DO get hit, you will experience a 1 to 15
percent decrease in health depending on how good the shot is. They
also leave behind bullets for you after you dispatch their sorry
asses.

The older brother of the Former Human, this guy is faster, smarter
and packing a wallup with his shotgun. You could take as much as 45% health loss if you take a direct
shot from this guy so stay on the move while you're taking him out. Learning how to strafe will
help alot. After placing a couple of well placed shots into his abdomen or skullbone, be sure to rape
the body for ammo or weapons left behind. :-)

This guy is as mean as he looks! That chaingun of his can chew up
some serious ammunition from near and from far. You will usually find yourself flanked by these
bad boys and in a position where by the time you realize what happened, you are already dead. The
up side to this is that when they die, they are kind enough to leave you a chaingun and ammo to use
in future battles. Lucky you, cuz you're gonna need it! A couple of shotgun blasts will usually take
this badass out but don't just stand there firing or you'll discover that the casket doesn't open
when you're underground. Stand behind a corner or some other obstruction and take potshots at this
guy till you've taken him out. If you MUST stand toe to toe with him, use the best weapon you have
and use it FAST!

These can be a nasty lot if you encounter them in large numbers
or unexpectedly. Up close, they can rip you to shreds with their claws but from a distance a well
placed shotgun blast is the way to go. Usually, if they are only a few feet away, a single shotgun
blast will do the trick from the regular shotgun. From a longer distance the double shotgun is just
as effective. If you find yourself up close and personal with these guys or are in a roomful of them
simply keep moving and firing rounds at them. They aren't very fast and the fireballs they chuck aren't
either. Just don't forget to keep moving. Up close they can be fairly dangerous. At a distance it's
like picking off skeet that are moving in slow-mo.

These guys are BIG, slow, and pink. They will also chew you a new
one in a hurry if you get in front of them. A double barrel will usually dispense with them in one
quick shot but the chainsaw is a hell of a lot more fun and saves ammo too! Don't take these guys
lightly though, they can mess you up REAL FAST!

You may be wondering why you're looking at an empty picture frame. It's because these bad
boys are INVISIBLE! I hate running into these guys in dark alleys because they are impossible to see. In
the daylight you get a little inkling of them but in the dark, you are screwed! That's what they make
save slots for, so use them!

These little bastards are fast and furious but for all that thunder (and screeching),
they aren't very dangerous. Just don't let yourself get surrounded by a bunch of these little where they
can take their time to do the lost soul shuffle on you by taking some bites out of your ass and burning you
to a crispy marine flambe'. A couple of well placed shotgun blasts or some bursts off of the chaingun will
wreck these guys night real fast.

Don't let these guys fool you. They might be big and they might be ugly but they
are dangerous, especially in close quarters. From a distance they will shoot blue fireballs at you and fry
your ass. Up close an personal they will eat your head off and drink the blood as it squirts from your decapited
body! They aren't usually a big problem as long as you have a chaingun handy. A few well placed shotgun
blasts will also do some major damage to them as well. Just don't make the mistake of ignoring them if there
are other badasses to battle!

Knighted by Satan, himself, these bad boys can lay down
an ass-whuppin! Don't get too close and use your shotgun while strafing from a safe hiding
spot to get rid of this guy. If you get in the way of his attack you are done for!

The Baron of Hell is a VERY tough customer and somebody you DON'T want
to get to know up close and personal, if you can avoid it. He shoots fireballs that look like plasma
shots and each hit is quite capable of turning you into worm food. Strafe and keep on strafing and if you can,
hit this guy with your plasma gun, BFG, or chaingun. He will eat up alot of rounds before going down so use the
biggest weapon you have. If you're using the rocket launcher, don't forget to hit from a distance or
you'll end up toasting yourself as well. Whatever you do, though, DON'T stand still or your boots might
be the only thing left standing!

These are like baby spiders (as compared to their much larger and more dangerous
bretheren, the Spider Mastermind. Don't take them lightly though and hope that you get caught in their sights from
a distance! They shoot plasma as fast as your plasma gun and it won't take but a couple seconds of that to
turn you into Batha fodder! The chaingun, or the rocket launcher is usually your best bet with these little
sons of bitches! Don't stand toe to toe though, you WILL lose.

He's big, he's fat, he'll kick your ass! This big boy has two giant guns
on the end of his arms and if he sees you before you see him, you will be toast before you can say "Marshmallows!".
Fortunately, his attacks are predictable and as long as you stay out of his line of fire and time your
return attacks in between his, you will be fine! Plan on several double shotgun blasts, a couple or three
rockets or a steady barrage from your plasma gun to lay this big boy to rest!

This isn't someone you want to bump into, especially in close quarters.
Up close he packs a hell of a punch, literally, and from short to long distances he has shoulder fired
rockets which actually track you. The best method (I found) of dispatching Sir Revenant is to simply
riddle him with bullets from your chaingun. Like many of the creatures in Doom2, the chaingun (as well
as the plasma rifle) tend to prevent them from executing their attack while you blow them away.
A couple of well placed shots from your double barrel will also do the trick but it may not be fast enough
to stop him from wiping you out. His rockets can be avoided, as well, as long as you are fast. Strafing
is the best method for doing this. Wait for the rocket to be right on top of you then take a quick step
left or right and it will go right by you. Try to outrun it and you will be demon meat!

Eerily resembling the Cacodemon, who was introduced in Doom, the
Pain Elemental poses a completely different problem and is much more dangerous than the Cacodemon.
Not only do you have to contend with this big boy but he also has this nasty habit of spitting
out Lost Souls! If you don't take him out pretty quick, you will find yourself being overwhelmed by
Lost Souls and most likely eating dirt for eternity (or until you return to your save slot).
Again, I refer you to your chaingun or your plasma gun (if you have one) to take care of this
guy. Shotgun shots will do it but again, may not be fast enough to stop you from getting your
ass kicked!

Ok now we're starting to get into the REAL badasses of Doom2.
The Archvile is fast and will turn you into a roasted marshmallow before you can say "Stay Puft".
This guy winds up and tosses a fireball on you that will kill you in a heartbeat. Your only protection
is to duck behind something and then pop out and blast him with the plasma gun or two or three
well placed rockets. You can kill him with other, smaller weapons but don't count on having the time.
Oh yea, one last thing, if you don't kill him quickly, he raises other creatures, that you just spent
your hard time fragging, from the dead. Don't screw around with this guy. Take your first opportunity
and blast his ass back to the bowels of Hell.

See the chaingun just under the spidey's face? Stay the hell
out of the way! This bad boy not only can take a shitload of damage but if he zero's you, you
are going to get chewed up into little tiny pieces. Fortunately, because of his size, he is
somewhat slow and has trouble keeping up with fast moving targets - so move ass and fire on the fly!
The plasma gun or the BFG is your best bet with this big boy!

Give this badass some respect! Look up the word "hardass" in the
dictionary and you should find a photo of this guy right next to the definition. You won't see him
often in Doom2 but when you do, be afraid, and get out of his sight! Not only can he take four
direct blasts from the BFG before being toppled, but he also fires a very nasty rocket barrage
at you which will kill you instantly on a direct hit. If you can, find a small area to snipe at him from
and then take your shots! He fires a burst of three rockets, then takes a quick breather before firing on
you again, so when he gives you the break, take your shot then get under cover again! Anyone who has
played Doom or Doom2 will tell you that this guy is as vicious as they come and as deadly as a Viper.

You are mankind's last hope! You've entered the very bowels of hell
with a pistol. A pistol? Holy shit, dude, smoke a fatty and start killing stuff and scoffing up
the ammo and weapons they leave behind! Your buds are dead and are coming after YOU. So how do you
fight these guys? What can a lone marine, trapped in Hell, do?
First off, keep in mind the intel
I've provided on the various creatures, above.
Secondly, learn how to fire on the fly and even more
importantly, since you MUST download a port like Zdoom or Legacy to play on an XP machine, learn how
to strafe! Strafing is your best friend in Doom and Doom2! A quick step to the left or right when
standing toe to toe with a Baron Of Hell is probably the only thing that will be standing between you and
a hole in the ground.
Keep in mind also that the creatures in Doom and Doom2 aren't too bright! They WILL
fight each other if you can get the ruckus going. It's actually pretty cool to watch a Spider Mastermind
and the Cyberdemon duke it out after you get it going by taking a couple shots at them and get them turned
in the right direction. I think you know who will win that battle every time though, don't you? The best
part of that, of course, is that the Spidey WILL weaken him for you. Still, avoid him if you can. As for the
rest of them, let them duke it out amongst themselves if you can get them to do it. You can mop up the
survivors afterwords and reap the rewards that they leave behind for you to pick up. Why waste your precious
ammo on these guys if they'll do the work for you?
Speaking of conserving ammo - don't use weapons you don't need to kill something. Using a plasma
rifle to kill an imp is simply a waste of ammo and will most likely cost you your life later in
the game! Use your pistol when possible, or the chainsaw if you have it. That one works great on
weaker enemies and conserves your ammo. Use the double barrel sparingly! It packs a wallop but it
chews up ammo like there's no tomorrow as well and you don't want to be facing a Hellknight with
a pistol and a chainsaw. You will most likely get your ass kicked in a New York minute.
Well, that's it for now. You should be prepared to meet and greet some of these badasses on the
playing field, so get your ruck, grab your weapon and start killing something soldier!
