Beat the 2 monsters in GBA Doom II level 21: Gotcha! (original) (raw)

Method for starting a boss-monster fight in GBA Doom II level 21: Gotcha!

This situation in GBA Doom II is similar to what happens on the same map in PC Doom II. One difference in the GBA game is that all monsters in this version have a much shorter line of sight, and a monster that has been alerted to a threat can drop back into "wait" mode if their target moves out of range. This can make it a little harder to start a fight between them without getting caught in the middle.

When you first enter the chamber with the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind, try running down to the base of the Spider's pedestal as soon as possible. From there, hug the side of the pedestal, peeking out just enough to get the Cyberdemon's attention to draw its fire.

Try to stay close enough to the side of the pedestal so that the Spider can't see you over the edge. As the Cyberdemon fires at you, try to maneuver to guide its aim towards the Spider's pedestal.

With a little luck and practice, you can get the rockets to hit the top and edges of the pedestal, hitting the Spider with splash damage. This causes the Spider to retaliate, starting a fight between them.

Good luck!
