20 Boss Fights That Actually Get Easier

Id Software's 2016 Doom revival is a ferociously brutal shooter that pits players against the demonic forces of Hell. It gleefully wears its carnage on its sleeve from its visceral cold open as players slaughter hordes of enemies, taking them out with over-the-top glory kills that are as gory as they are stylish.

This Doom would also carry on the series' notorious level of difficulty as it thrust players into intense gauntlets filled with formidable foes. However, this game saved its hardest challenge for the end when players came up against the Spider Mastermind, this title's final boss.

A grotesque cybernetic monstrosity, the Mastermind is extremely fast and aggressive. It attacks relentlessly, constantly blasting the Doom Slayer with lasers and launching explosives, turning the arena into a deadly bullet hell. The boss can also electrify the floor, making short work of players who don't get to higher ground quickly enough.

However, once this demon's health becomes critically low, victory is essentially guaranteed. It drops to the ground and becomes stationary, only able to use a handful of easily avoidable attacks.

After unloading more bullets into the fatally wounded monster, an over-the-top execution serves as this revival's glorious final moment.
