Doom II: Painless Elementals (The Lost Soul Limit)
2Shows an instance in Doom II where Pain Elementals attempt to launch Lost Souls but cannot, a situation that essentially makes them harmless. This was recorded on level 19, The Pit, at Skill 4, Ultra-Violence.
In Id Software's original Doom II game, Pain Elementals normally attack by launching 1 Lost Soul at a time. But they are unable to attack if there are 21 or more Lost Souls already present on the level. The launch animation is shown, but no Lost Soul is generated.
There are a few other levels in the game where this can technically occur, but this level was chosen since it allowed a fairly quick and reliable demonstration.
When playing this level at Skill 4 there are 33 Lost Souls already present at the start.
