Stuck in Argent Tower

[cobra31]

I've been all over the tower and can't see how to progress. I read somewhere I need to jump on the boxes near the blue electric fence but I think you need special jump boots which I don't have.

I twice tried to take screenshots of where I'm by pressing 'print scrn' but this function seems to have been disabled for Doom.

The game is kind of fun but it's very sad that in 2017, high profile games like this are released with glitches. This is poor game design!

I've been on youtube and forums to try and figure out what I'm supposed to do but it's not clear what to do, which seems to have been a problem for many other users at this juncture.

Games like this are not supposed to be cryptic! They're just to indulge some silliness!

As for the 70GB download file??? I fail to see how this game justifies such a big download.

What part exactly are you stuck on ?
Have you crossed the bridge yet?

Also the game is that big due to the engine tech. For one it uses megatextures, it's giant textures that covers entire maps, these are 256gb each but due to heavy compression they are not that big. Also the game has uncompressed lossless audio.

But that 76 gb size is actually very impressive compression considering this game uncompressed would literally be terabytes in size. No exaggeration.

I can't toggle between game and desktop. If I could I could give you a better idea of where I'm stuck.

The problem is I can't tell you where I'm stuck can I because the game design doesn't allow that explanation does it! I've told you a point I'm at during the game (see above) but that doesn't explain the progress of the game. Why is there no goal pointing the way like there was before when it tells you to kill those eye things.

I think I've destroyed the Argent facility and I have to kill Olivia Pierce but the mission says 'destroy Argent facility'.

Use F12 to take screenshots in Steam.
Why not just search for a walkthrough?
What level are you on exactly? Argent facility or Argent Tower? 4th level or 5th level?

Maybe you can post a video from YouTube to show where you are exactly. It would make it easier for people to help you out

To take screenshots in any Steam game, press "F12".

Second, are you sure you're stuck on "Argent Tower", and not "Argent Facility"? As far as I remember, there is no "destroy Argent facility" objective on Argent Tower.

In case you are stuck on the tower, here is where to get the Delta-V boots. They're pretty hard to miss, considering there's a marker there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtylmCV4oIQ&t=0m26s

(Since timestamps don't seem to work in embedded videos, the jump boots are at 0m 26s.)

Also, as long as you haven't turned off objective markers, the should still point you to where to go, if only on the map, and not the HUD.

Did you really spend more than 20 seconds looking this up?

Found these in literally 20 secs. Including minimising Steam, turning on Chrome and pasting the links here.

You end up doing both.

And relax. Everyone in this thread is only trying to help you along. The map you're in can be confusing quickly.

If you're where I think you are, look for power connections that come out of the ring when it stops spinning. They open up, pause, then extend out to the core. When they're paused, you will see a little ledge above it that you can climb onto. You'll see the familiar green light denoting an edge you can grab. Once up there you'll have another arena of death waiting for you.

OK, I've gone through the level several times and can't find anywhere else to explore.

I tried to take a scrnshot with F12 but when I tried to save it in the Steam software it failed to save. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. I click load scrnshot from 'last session' but nothing happened. What did I do wrong?

I clicked on 'left alt' to see what the objectives were and it said I need to kill 2 hell knights from above to complete challenges but I don't think this is the main mission.

Something definitely wrong here.

OK, after destroying the last argent facility thing I didn't go into the room next to it and complete the level. Odd the pointer didn't send me that way?

Yeah, so, you weren't in the Tower after all. You are now, though. You were in the level before Argent Energy Tower, simply Argent Facility. The common theme thoughout the game is to stop (or kill) Olivia. I'll just leave it at that to avoid spoiling the story.

And just to note, you're gonna have a hard time with this game if you're getting so frustrated over the 3rd of 13 levels. Searching is just as much a part of Doom as demons and shotguns. The answers aren't always going to be laid out right in front of you to find like a trail of breadcrumbs.
