Doom: The Dark Ages Glitch Lets Players Fight Titans On-Foot

by

A player of the game “Doom: The Dark Ages” recently posted a video showing an impressive glitch where they were able to leave their Atlan mech, and then use only the Slayer’s standard weapons to bring down towering Titans. Although it might be challenging to duplicate this specific bug in the game, it offers fans a sneak peek into how a character like the Doom Slayer could demolish Titans solely with determination and weaponry, as portrayed in the game’s lore.

In Doom: The Dark Ages, there are some surprises compared to earlier versions. Among these changes are several unique levels centered around Atlan mechs and a dragon, each level offering fresh gameplay mechanics for defeating demons. Players can soar through vast landscapes on the Slayer’s dragon, pursuing Hell Ships and taking part in agility challenges to disarm stationary weapons and enemies of a similar nature. When controlling an Atlan mech, players can bulldoze through demon hordes and buildings, as well as use powerful combos for close-quarters combat against Titans.

Regrettably, players rarely witness the Slayer taking down a Titan using only his bare fists, as this is something he’s actually capable of. However, a fortunate player identified as Scoutpandapal_real stumbled upon a bug that enabled them to discard their mech and engage these colossal monsters in traditional combat. This malfunction was vividly illustrated in an impressive video that showcases the player vanquishing Titans using the Slayer’s standard weaponry within Doom: The Dark Ages, obliterating them at a speed that borders on comedic, with nothing but a Plasma Cycler and Super Shotgun.

It’s unclear exactly how the player initially caused this game bug, but it probably wasn’t just by chance. The video starts with the player adjusting various settings in ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’, pushing game speed and damage to the highest levels. This rapid game speed results in their quick demise at the hands of a Titan. Upon respawning and skipping the level’s introductory cutscene, however, they seemingly spawn without their Atlan character.

Incorporating flyable Atlans, Titan battles, and mountable dragons are undeniably thrilling innovations in a Doom game; however, these distinctive levels have sparked quite a debate among the game’s community. Critics largely applaud Doom: The Dark Ages, but some long-standing fans of the series argue that the abundance of novel mechanics overshadows the classic Doom experience.
