I tried using the soul cube 12 to 15 times, but the stupid boss won't die? 
What gives?


Thanks

He's asking about "which stupid boss", you ignoramus.

You shouldn't have skipped your 5th grade English classes.

I think its the one where its on a doughnut shaped piece of land that is 
floating. If it knocks you of in the center you fall into a tunnel. If 
it knocks you of the outside edge you fall into lava. I've had the same 
problem. My guess is you have to knock the boss of the edge, hav'nt 
figured out how to yet.

Yes, a very stupid question. And if you have played doom as long as me, you
would know that there is an end boss in every one of them.

A 1th grader know which boss it is that will not die, as the other ones die at
once you tickle them a bit. You even do not have to use the soul cube.

But as the idiot infant you are, you do not know that.

when you say "12 to 15 times" do you mean restarting the level each time? - 
you need to hit the boss with the soul cube and kill other monsters to 
recharge it and fire it at the boss again (I think it takes about 5 kills to 
recharge)

This is the Boss that has the "headlight" satellite buggers.   While 
they are out and about, that Boss is invulnerable.  You kill those few 
lights, then hit him with the soulcube (and a couple BFG's) and he takes 
damage.  Rinse/repeat 3 or 4 times and it's all over.  This one is an 
especially tough sequence on Nightmare :)
I did manage it on Veteran tho :\

On nightmare difficulty you get the soul cube from the start. Not that

That one at the end there, he's tougher on veteran to me than Nightmare. 
There are more nasties popping up all around on nightmare though.
