Use the Slayer's dash to break rocket lock-on whenever the warning message appears. Late on they are often encountered in pairs, and the Master Levels are particularly fond of featuring them. Their high HP warrants the use of the most powerful weapons the player has to put them out of commission as soon as possible. Tyrants are one of the bigger threats in the late game, and it is vital to never lose track of where they are and what they are doing. They can also stomp the ground to create a flaming explosion to drive off the Slayer should he approach them at melee range. The swing will also fire a flaming shockwave, giving it use as a ranged attack. This attack is significantly toned down from the version used by the Doom 2016 Cyberdemon, only hitting a relatively small area rather than saturating most of an arena.Īt close range a Tyrant will form an energy sword resembling the Crucible blade from its right forearm and swing it at the Slayer, dealing high damage if it connects.

Less commonly, typically if it has no line of sight, a Tyrant will point its gun at the sky, producing a series of warning circles on the ground before firing off a barrage of missiles that hit the marked points. This attack leads the Slayer's movement, but will stop tracking for a split second before it actually fires. It is also able to use a lock-on laser attack like the 2016 Cyberdemon, where it fires powerful aimed lasers preceded by a tracking beam. Its primary attack is to use its arm cannon to fire a barrage of missiles, similar to both the Cyberdemon from the classic games and the 2016 version. It shares some attacks of the Doom 2016 Cyberdemon, though some are pared down in respect to its status as a regular enemy rather than a boss fought on its own. When superficial damage is sustained it is revealed that its skeleton is made of metal, this is probably to further reinforce its already impressive armor.Ī Tyrant is a slow-moving powerhouse, extremely tough and able to dish out high damage, with its main weaknesses being slow turning speed and a large body that makes it an easy target. It has some kind of port on the left side of its chest similar to the Argent Accumulator port of its predecessor. The abdomen of the Tyrant is exposed, revealing a mixture of wires and gore inside the body. Its left arm has been replaced with a weapon which is very similar in design to the Doom 2016 Cyberdemon's weapon. The creature's pelvis and entire right leg are cybernetic replacements, while the left leg has a cybernetic upper section but is mostly organic. It lacks the split jaw found on the Doom (2016) version of the monster. The Tyrant has a flat face with flush nostrils and sharp teeth with two large upward-facing tusks as the lower canines.

It is tan in color, with long curving black horns and two small, beady golden eyes set very far apart from each other. The Tyrant is a recreation of the original Doom's Cyberdemon rather than the more bulky and heavy-set variant encountered in the previous game. A sadistic master of lesser demons, the Tyrants are feared for their cruelty and malice.

Weaponized and cybernetically altered by the UAC, the Tyrants are tasked with overseeing the collection and extraction of sin-branded souls from the mortal world, their role in Hell ordained by the unholy sigil of the Elder Hell-gods.
