How to unlock the Shoot It Until It Dies achievement in DOOM (1993) - Definitive Guide

The first Cyberdemon encounter is on the level E2M8 (last level of the Shores of Hell missions), make a save state when you get here. Use the plasma rifle as it is the easiest to hit the demon with it. If you have full ammo (600 rounds) you can shoot the demon until you have roughly around 360 rounds left and then switch to the pistol to finish it off. It will take a lot of handgun bullets even at this point since the handgun is a very weak weapon. Below is a no commentary video of how this works.

Well this definitely clears up what exactly is a cyber demon. I though it was either the regular demons or the boss demons at the end of episode one.

I just did this by loading straight into E2M8, i found that around 50 rockets and then finishing with the pistol worked great. if you miss some just pick up more and top it off. took me about 10 mins

Just a note: my last rocket killed the Cyberdemon, but the game auto-switched me to my pistol because it was my last rocket, and I got the achievement. So it appears the unlock criteria is to be holding the pistol when the Cyberdemon dies.

I pulled this off on E4M6. A Cyberdemon guards the exit, and you're on a platform good for sniping when it appears.

It took me about 60 rockets on "I'm Too Young to Die" difficulty missing a few of course. I'd say if you want to load straight in the level shoot around 60 rockets then switch to your pistol.

actually I've got this on E4M2, when trying to get to the hidden exit level. There is one cyberdemon an if you reach the hidden red teleport, you will be transported to where he is.
It looks that I appeared when it was, killed it for that and got the cheevo.
Not sure it is a glitch but that happened to me, perhaps you can go for that other one and meanwhile win this "by accident"

Very easy when paired with getting the secret exit on chapter;
(Thy Flesh Consumed, Map 2 / Perfect Hatred)


If you have the pistol equiped whilst teleporting through it instantly kills the cyberdemon and unlocks the achievement.

Hope this helps, thanks fellow ahievement hunters.

That video isn’t the Xbox version of the game though, different graphics and that even has a jump button which original doesn’t have

You can do this in local co-op on E2M8 on the easiest difficultly. Hit him with a bunch of rockets to whittle him down a bit then keep running out with your pistol and circle strafe him with RT held down until you run out of bullets. Die. Respawn. Rinse and repeat until you have finished him off.

I assume in any solution you want him one rocket away from dyeing etc. Keep saving and reload if you kill him on accident and then shoot him less. Looks like you can only save on one player and not in co-op. I am going to try this, thank you. I tried on single player and I think after you die about 3-5 times that is it?

Can be fist obtained in E2M8: Tower of Babel.

Use the rocket provided in the map to weaken him. Make a save, then use the pistol to finish him off.

It takes about 45 direct hits with the rocket launcher to kill the Cyber Demon.

You may have to go through a process of weakening him and saving to get his health low.


The Cyber Demon stats:

Health Points
- 4000
Speed
- 186.4 map units/s
Attack Damage
- 20-160 (direct hit)
- 0-128 (blast radius)
- 148-288 (direct hit + blast radius)

Please note this trophy only requires you to finish the Cyberdemon off with the pistol, not use it exclusively. The Cyberdemon first appears on E2M8. Weaken it with the rocket launcher on site (or the plasma rifle) and then start shooting it with your pistol until it dies. For an easier time, you can boot the mission in co-op mode so that when you run out of pistol ammo, you can die and respawn with more without resetting the Cyberdemon's health.
