thedemonsarecoming Posted February 18, 2003 Can Revenants ressurect dead demons? The manual says that they can, but I've never seen them do it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted February 18, 2003 I've never seen a revenant revive another demon. So no, it can't. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted February 18, 2003 according to the manual, Revenants are ressurected demons (if I was home right now, I'd get the quote from the manual explaing what they are). 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted February 18, 2003 Heh...I've never read the Doom 2 manual. The only legit copy I've ever owned was given to be by a friend. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted February 18, 2003 collector's edition didn't even come with a manual 0 Share this post Link to post
thedemonsarecoming Posted February 18, 2003 Can't find the PC version manual at the moment but the GBA manual says"...when a demon dies, they pick him up, dust him off, wire him some combat gear, and send him back into battle..." In the Revenant description. 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted February 18, 2003 Yeah thats what it says in the Doom II Book (Manual(the Book Dee-Lee it came with)). Which also says in the Doom II HelpMe. But Revenants can't ressurect fallen comrades, but maybe a Dehacked patch can make it happen. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted February 18, 2003 The manual says that Revenants are demons raised from the dead, not that they literally raise the dead themselves. It says something along the lines of "Once a comrad has fallen, apparently the demons just pick them up, dust them off, and provide them with some new armor and homing missles. No rest for the wicked eh?" It refers to Other demons picking the dead ally up, putting him on some new armor and stuff, and thusly, the revenant is born. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted February 18, 2003 ARCHVILES are the ones that ressurect dead monsters. 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted February 18, 2003 Revenant is a french word for "someone who has returned" and is a synonym of ghost. And as we all know the Revenant is pretty much a large bloody skeleton. Because of these facts they gave it that fitting description in the manual. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted February 18, 2003 A revenant is a spirit who has returned from the grave to extract revenge on it's killer. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted February 18, 2003 Not necessarily the latter. Although I remember an AD&D monster that was exactly like that. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted February 18, 2003 I thik the author maybe confusing it with the PSX manual, which I think made a cock up about Revenants. There were no archviles in PSX Doom either 0 Share this post Link to post

DarkWolf Posted February 19, 2003 Revenants are in reality, revived basketball players. They're too damn tall to be any of the Doom demon races. 0 Share this post Link to post

thedemonsarecoming Posted February 19, 2003 So when a former human dies...he turns into a Revenant. Heh. would make those lower skill levels alot harder. 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh. would make those lower skill levels alot harder. so by that law the more a doom monster dies the more powerful he gets. man no wonder the cyberdemon is so damned pissed. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'd just like to see 'em make a mini-revenant out of those former humans. Of course they wouldn't be as powerful, but it'd be cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
