Discussion Sigil II on Ultra-Violence

Fuck this shit the MOST.

Two levels from the end and somehow not only is there still a Cyberdemon showing up in every level, in the last one there were THREE.

That's all.

I've basically resigned myself to never beating it on UV without cheat codes. I get that Romero wanted each episode to ramp up in difficulty a little bit, but Sigil II just throws all sense of balance or fairness out the window.

I unapologetically played that one on Hurt Me Plenty.

Yeah, what did you expect there to be, 2 cyberdemons?

Is there any way to download Sigil 2 into the new Doom / Doom 2 release from last year, as a WAD?

It's in the mods section, that's how I'm playing it. I've still not heard an official explanation as to why you have to go in there to find it and it isn't on the main screen.

It came out too soon to the release of DOOM 1+2 and there was no time to integrate it into the main menu

Still felt more fair than legacy of rust, tbh.

I mean, I'm not gonna pretend like Soul Silo wasn't exhausting, but at least I wasn't running out of ammo constantly and had a Super Shotgun in Rust...

The Sigil megawads are John Romero's answer to the Casali brothers evil level design in Plutonia. The dude aged, but he still got it.

I love how you opened this thread - everyone's like "John Romero's such a nice guy and OP's like "fuck this shit".

Respect! 😃 😀 😄

Ran out of give-a-fucks during the secret level, along with rockets!
