Fuzzball Posted July 28, 2017 Time to post a topic with a bizarre theme! You knew it was coming~ :P What WOULD the various things in Doom smell like, from the places, the things to the monsters- would E1M3 stink of Chemicals? Episode 4 reek of flesh and burning? Do Cacodemons smell like the tomatoes they appear to be?! 3 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted July 28, 2017 Here are the official words: Quote It stinks like rotten meat, but looks like the lost Deimos base. Quote The vista opening ahead looks real damn familiar. Smells familiar, too like -- fried excrement. So there you go. Festering flesh and fried feces. Yummy! 3 Share this post Link to post
baja blast rd. Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) A very strong herbal ointment from afar (the infinite reserves of their healing supply), combined with boiling chicken up close. Their machinery has a strong automotive odor, like an old car left idling in a garage, but the brain matter itself smells quite terrible, like festering pus. Arachnotrons on the other hand are still young, so their machinery doesn't have a perceptible odor. Their brain matter smells oddly similar to a human infant's soiled diaper. Let's ask @Maes. Cacodemons are one of the nicest smelling things in the game. The purple material in their projectiles is used nowhere else, and it's actually a naturally secreted strawberry extract, kept at a high temperature. So they smell like toasted poptarts. 19 Share this post Link to post

Skeletonpatch Posted July 28, 2017 Don't you know that every demon is hypersensitive to unpleasant smells? That's why you always see imps taking hour long showers every morning while using only the most potent chocolate-scented body washes. Former Humans are the second larges consumer base for deodorant, cologne and perfume after Current Humans. Pinkies always decorate their homes with freshly-picked lavender and other good-smelling flowers. Mancubi are by far the most obsessed scent-wise of the demons, which is why they are always seen consuming only the freshest of fruits and vegetables, so that their insides may look just as good as their outsides! 1 Share this post Link to post

Trupiak Posted July 29, 2017 it would smell like a gun range but with rotten corpses, blood, smoke, sweat, stink of bodies not showered for months/years ( former humans ) and oil... it smells COOL 0 Share this post Link to post
Mikami41 Posted July 30, 2017 Demon would actually smell like a dog Pain elemental would actually smell like a person who never brushes his teeth Mancubus would actually smell like crap if it wasnt of his guns or fireballs... Revenants would smell like rotten meat as the rest (Zombieman, shotgunman...) Still don't know if spectre would have actually a smell, because he's hidden. Baron of hell and hell knight would smell like cows or horses with human sweat (Yea, sounds classic but believe me, i tried to imagine another smell and couldnt find it :P) The last one would be in the icon of sin of last level of doom 2, what would smell like... Probably some kind of huge rotten meat with vomit and shit (all mixed)... 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted July 30, 2017 It would be area-specific, but generally: E1 - Stale air, grease/oil/hot metal (typical machinery smells), and whatever nukage would smell like, probably a piercing toxic stench, like strong acid fumes E2 - More of the same but with an underlying decay, rotting wood and demonic vegetation E3 - Sulphur, boiled rock, rotting and/or burning flesh 2 Share this post Link to post

nxGangrel Posted July 30, 2017 Honestly I always associate Doom 1 (the first episode in particular) with the smell of dried and chopped up basil (although it could have been oregano, I get the two mixed up, but I think it's basil) because the first time I played Doom when my dad got me the shareware version, he also made a small satchel of the dried herb just for the scent, similar to a car air freshener or something, around the same time. So when ever I smell dried basil, I think of the first time I played Doom back in 2009. I don't have any smells I associate with Doom 2 though, except maybe a faint smell of futon and legos. 3 Share this post Link to post
