In Doom lore, the Cyberdemon is regarded as the toughest denizen in Hell's heavily supplied arsenal. Any time this robotic beast rears his ugly head, the player knows they have their work cut out from them.

Because the Cyberdemon serves as Doom 3's final boss, anyone would expect this to be the hardest incarnation of the rocket-launching minotaur yet. As soon as the Marine enters the Hellmouth room, he passes through what seems to be a tall corridor. As he looks up, he realises he's walking under the Cyberdemon's legs, indicating the ogre's towering size. With this introduction, the player imagines they're in for the fight of their life, especially since CD is immune to standard attacks, including the BFG.

Instead, all the Marine has to do is merry-go-round the arena while waiting for the Soul Cube to charge. Although the battleground is littered with demons, they can be disposed of with the most basic weaponry. After tossing the Cube at the Cyberdemon a few times, he'll be cast back into Hell.

Even though Doom 3 was a polarising title, few people, if anyone can defend this crappy boss.
