Thanks. So, not as relentless, but more powerful and a lot more health. Sounds like I am basically doomed!

Yeah.... 3000 hit points is not exactly what I had in mind.

The Maulotaur is a lot easier than certain Cyberdemons. If you are talking about the id levels, it is certainly a thousand times harder. If you are talking about the fan missions that were never ending nightmares, it took me hours to get past a Cyberdemon while spamming the save button. Think of that versus about 30-40 minutes here against three.

The Maulotaur's projectile attack is quick, but luckily it deals little health. The Cyberdemon spams rockets at you with a ton of splash damage. In the id game it is fine as you always have plenty of room to move around and a rocket launcher. The Cyberdemons in the fan levels require you to just use your fists while running in and out of a corridor filled with explosive barrels and into a tight room that is barely larger than the corridor. Oh yeah, the Cyberdemon will also start spamming you as soon as you open the door.

So if we are talking Tower of Babel or even Warrens Cyberdemon, the Cyberdemon is so pathetically easy to not even be a challenge. If we are talking about the first 200 or so wads where tons of levels have Cyberdemons and you rarely have a rocket launcher and are usually in a tight corridor, that is a different story. So basically I was right with my previous opinion that nothing is as impossible as those Cyberdemons.

Just remember, in that video I got shocked at the instant kill and was confused how to kill them. I didn't feel sick by the end and hate the game due to having to reload thousands of times and getting nowhere while feeling the level was a cheap shot.
