SO. This was the second time where I made it to the Cyberdemon, and the first where I got past him...

I killed the Cyberdemon, and then I got a message that says something like "You outsmarted Hell itself! But why is the evil still there?" and a staircase down. I took it down... and found a level called Hell Fortress with John Carmack, who preceeded to open six cans of whoopass on me. He kept summoning Barons of Hell, but I was doing fine since I had 2 BFGs and loads of ammo. After about 8 shots on Carmack and loads of dead demons my game crashed, but it automatically saved my character. When I reloaded... well... I had to start the level over again with the equipment I had at the end of my battle, which is 4 shots worth of energy cells and no armor. =( So I died and got this dump.

Here's the deal: I killed big C not by shooting him, but by thermonuclear device WHILE I WAS INVINCIBLE! (I was lucky enough to find an invincibility globe a few steps away from the staircase in the previous level. So I just nuked the crap out of him. Is this why I got the special message and level instead of the ending the Wiki mentioned?

Has anyone else ever gotten this? Was the crash the result of me beating Carmack? Because, seriously, nothing should survive 8 BFG shots. =)

Anticheese:
Ok..

You most likely beat the Cyberdemon..

But the rest of it is utter bullcrap.

Seriously, As soon as you defeat the Cyberdemon the ending text to Doom I - Knee deep in the dead shows. That is all.

There are absolutely no powerups in the level Phobos Arena, And if you really were clued up on your Doomlore you would know it was John Romero's head on a pike that was behind the Icon of Sin/Gatekeeper/Bahaptamut/Giant demon head with a weak spot on its forehead..

The fact that your dump file only says "He was the first brave soul to venture into hell" is also a major tip-off.

I also doubt you got two BFG's, You would have to have visited the spiders lair to get a second one.

ALSO, I just did the maths and according to your monsters killed you only shot down 348 monsters, EXCLUDING the cyberdemon, Which incidentally will show up on a real post mortem dump.

Please, If you are going to lie, Do your homework first.

Otherwise, Welcome to the forums.

We hope you enjoy your stay.

Aerton:
Now DRL have got it's first rumour...
Would you like to belive wingie's the story, or would rational Anticheese convince you? Pick your side.

And yes, I am trying to nuke the cyberdaemon while invulnerable since closed beta. No luck so far.

jake250:
For a first (or second) post, its a realy bad start.

Seriously, your so new, saying non-sense stuff, no one will trust you. And if it was true, at least I know Kornel would've implemented it in the right way (I mean, John Carmack? You lost all your points here).

I'm wondering if you'll ever post in here again!

Turgor:
I'm not sure what to think. I've been trying to find the special ending for a long time too, tried the nuking, tried lots more, but never found it. But then again it could be a random event after killing the cyberdemon, which he was lucky enough to get.

Now there are some inconsistencies in his post mortem, but that may have been due to the crash? Allthough the whole crash story makes me doubt this a bit more too.

Wingie never mentions any powerups on Phobos Arena, just an invincibility globe he found on the level before the Cyberdemon, which made him decide to use the nuke.

I fail to see why Kornel wouldn't use Carmack here instead of Romero (allthough i was hoping it would be Kornel himself :D) so this part is still credible for me.

But what i miss are screenshots! Give me some screenshots and you'll convince me (if they are not fakes offcourse).

Anyway, welcome to the forum wingie! I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and congratulate you on at least discovering the special ending!

EDIT:
Quoting: wingieSo I just nuked the crap out of him. Is this why I got the special message and level instead of the ending the Wiki mentioned?
I don't think so. Lots of people tried this and got the normal ending.
Quoting: wingieHas anyone else ever gotten this? Was the crash the result of me beating Carmack? Because, seriously, nothing should survive 8 BFG shots. =)
As far as i know you are the first one to report this ending here. Wether nobody ever got it before i cannot say, but it is a very rare event (I've killed the Cyberdemon about a dozen times now, never got what you got).
