Which final boss is harder? Spidermastermind? Or the icon of sin?

[Dr.Ferret]

I put doom 2016 down since that is the first one in the for the new games therefore the main game. Anyways, the spidermastermind is hard to hit and attacks fast. It also has you in a small space. While the icon of sin Has enemies coming at you not to mention it is a titan. But which is truly harder?

Icon of Sin, absolutely. The Spider-Mastermind's a pushover.

Both can be taken down easily enough if you're well aware of their attack patterns backed up but sufficient player skill.

 

Icon of Sin is notably more difficult because of the enemies spawning in and its potential one shot kills (may vary based on difficulty) if you're not paying attention.

 

Personally I find the Maykr more challenging than the Spider Mastermind as well.

LoL. it isn't even a contest. IoS by a longshot. SM was a joke, IMO. IoS took me a good 3 tries before I finally hit that bastard

When I first played thru Doom and entered Dis, I thought it's going to be a tough battle so I switched to BFG.

I heard the Spider on the right and downed with only one shot. Simplest boss IMO.

 

When I first entered map30 of Doom 2, I didn't know what I had to do so I think it's a bit tougher than common boss fights.

 

EDIT: aww shoot it's newfangled doom thread

Icon Of Sin, I guess. You're swarmed by demons constantly and need to micro-manage your assets to keep taking out his bodybarts. Spider mastermind is just one giant monster alone in a damp cave.

Spider killed me once. Barely even had to move to beat Icon as he pounded random places in the arena where I wasn't :p

I can understand waning to get information about the game before going into it, but at some point, I feel it's going to be more productive to just actually play the game and make your own judgements instead of asking 20 thousand questions about it.

Icon of Sin. But both are a challenge.

[Chip]

oh, my original post was about the old DOOMs. I haven't finished 2016 or Eternal, so I don't know. SM looks scarier, though.

I'd say they are about equal when you know what you're doing.
