How to kill a Cyberdemon only with your fists

This guide will show you how to kill the Cyberdemon[doom.fandom.com] only with your
Fists.[doom.fandom.com]

You like useless guides?
Ever felt that guns are for wusses?
Then maybe this guide is for you.

10th November update: added gifs instead of images for a better comprehension.

12th November update: i added links for the Doom Wiki[doom.fandom.com](fandom), since it was the place i got my info from.

5th December update: Corrected a misstypo saying in Map 32 it doesnt have a berserk power up, thanks ntnet12!

i think no one cares about the updates since it is a freaking guide but, ok.

Find The Cyberdemon

First off, you wanna go for a level that has a Cyberdemon.

(Cool tip, huh?)
List of maps with Cyberdemon:

Doom:

• E2M8
  
• E3M9
  
• E4M2
  
• E4M6
  
• E4M7

Doom 2:

• Map08
  
• Map 10
  
• Map 20
  
• Map 29
  
• Map 32

E2M8[doom.fandom.com] and Map 32[doom.fandom.com] are the best ones since you find a Cyberdemon in the start of it.
(Map 32 is better since it has a larger space to fight)
E2M8

Map 32

Punch it.

Second and last, punch it until it dies.

Simple as that.

"How am i gonna do that?"

Wait for him to shot 3 Rockets, each Rocket he shots you're gonna dodge and go closer to him, after the third one you are probably close enough to punch him one time and run

just be careful that sometimes he shoots a extra Rocket

then punch him and run.

Or if you want just do circles around him

(harder but more effective)

(i've only managed to pull that on a controller, since mouse movement is limited, but the joystick can go forever.)
Considering a Cyberdemon has 4000 Health, a punch varies in 2-20 dmg, you are gonna take approximately 2000-200 punches to kill a Cyberdemon.
If you want to speed it up, you can take the Berserk Power Up[doom.fandom.com] that makes the punch guarantee 20-200 dmg, speeding it up to only 200-20 punches, unfortunaly in E2M8 it doesn't have a Berserk Power Up, but you can try using in the Cheats tab the command:

idbeholds

and it will give you the Berserk Power Up
With berserk you're gonna take maximum 13 Minutes and 20 Seconds to kill a Cyberdemon, without it, 2 hours and 13 minutes and 20 seconds (counting the minimum damage of them and counting that it takes probably 4 seconds to strike a hit with the first strat).

Doing the second strat (most effective one) and counting that you're never gonna miss a fist (that is probably impossible) and a fist hit is once 0.5 seconds, you are gonna take 400 seconds, which is 6 minutes and 40 seconds with berserk, 1 hour and 6 minutes and 40 seconds without berserk.
A 51% difference in time

(again, counting the minimum damage)
correct me if im wrong

Good Luck.

Conclusion

"When am i going to use this guide something?"
When you are playing in the Nightmare difficulty and suddently, all your ammo is gone, and your last enemy is a Cyberdemon, and then you remember how that stupid guy taught you how to kill a Cyberdemon with your fists.
"Then, maybe this guide is not that useless."
It is indeed useless, with the time you are trying to punch the Cyberdemon until death, it is better to just restart the level and it will be faster.

If you find this guide useless, give a Like.

If you find it useful, give a Dislike.

Thank you for viewing my guide.

Good guide! Another approach is to punch between the second and third rockets, as the timing between these is always consistent. Also, getting close is an essential part of a slightly more practical way to kill cyberdemons (well, unless you're doing a tyson run), 2-tapping with BFG. Even if you never punch out a cyber in a real run, practicing this is a great way to internalize the cyberdemon's firing rhythm (on Doom 2 MAP32, I'm not enough of a masochist to do this without berserk!). Thanks!

@Lejionator
Impossible? Maybe no, maybe yes
But there is videos of people who managed to do it.

[Lejionator]

Nah, this is impossible.

@ntnet12

"unfortunaly in E2M8 and Map 32 it doesn't have a Berserk Power Up" - but there is a berserk power-up on Doom 2 Map 32, right at the start.
