10 Alternate Video Game Boss Strategies You Never Knew
3. Use The BFG Exploit To Quickly Destroy The Spider Mastermind - Doom (2016)
Doom 2016's boss fights are pretty tricky - especially on higher difficulties - culminating in the epic battle against the game's final boss, the Spider Mastermind.
Though done the intended way this boss can take upwards of five minutes to beat after numerous failed attempts, flagging players can save themselves some hassle by taking advantage of one of the BFG 9000's secret, accidental abilities.
Basically, fire the BFG just clear of the Spider Mastermind and then immediately bring up the weapon wheel.
The weapon wheel slows time down to a crawl but doesn't also reduce the damage caused by projectiles, allowing the BFG projectile's spark to continue dealing massive damage to the boss.
With this method, you're able to drain 90% of its health in a solid 20 seconds flat, leaving you to spam whatever you've got left in your arsenal to whittle away the remaining 10%.
