Talk:E1M8: Phobos Anomaly (Doom)

I removed this paragraph:


 * You can survive the room at the end by using the idbehold cheat to summon an invulnerability powerup. Type 'idbehold' before stepping onto the teleporter, then use the mouse to move on to it (do not use the keyboard as this will break the code), then press 'v', and kill the monsters. Doing this serves very little purpose, however, as you will simply be trapped in a room with monster corpses.

If nothing else this is factually false, at least in vanilla: the "v" need not be pressed after teleportation (although the part about the mouse is valid), and one certainly does exit the level eventually because cheated powerups are not permanent. More importantly, however, there seems to be a convention here of not including cheat codes in walkthroughs unless it is absolutely unavoidable (presumably on the grounds that the cheating player has already decided not to play in a way that requires a definite strategy); have I understood that correctly?

 * Perhaps more fundamentally, the 'v' only has finite duration, after which the 20% damage floor will still kill you, even if the monsters do not. -- Jdowland 20:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Right, that's what I was saying (sleep deprivation, undoubtedly, having shouldered comprehensibility aside once again). Also, according to our article, it's 10%, not 20%.    Ryan W 22:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
