Chapter 5, Nekroval is the first true test of your skill — and your grinding ability — in Mighty DOOM. This area is uniquely difficult because it introduces waves of enemies to rooms, making quick encounters exponentially more difficult. You’ll be fighting double, triple or quadruple the normal number of enemies from previous chapters, and you’ll have to scrape through to barely survive. If you’re a F2P player and don’t want to spend money for an instant boost in gear, there are strategies you can use to eventually overcome the odds and crush the creepy city of Nekroval.

Chapter 5, Nekroval, introduces the wave system. Multiple waves of enemies will appear in rooms, forcing you to fight back more hordes of hellish demons. Naturally, this simple switch-up makes this chapter a steep difficulty spike.
- Before entering Nekroval, you’ll want to prepare yourself. Complete Events to get more coins — coins can be spent to upgrade your gear. Upgrade your weapons especially. Daily Missions are also important, but Events will give you the biggest boost.
- Aim for Level 25. Gear should match your general profile level, while weapons should be upgraded above. Don’t let your gear lag behind. If your armor hasn’t been upgraded, you really should do it — make sure everything is being upgraded, including masteries.
- If you buy anything, buy the Gold Slayer. This is a powerful microtransaction Slayer suit that gives you a chance to automatically reload your secondary weapon. I don’t recommend buying the Battle Pass or Special Crates — but if you’re going to spend $9.99 in real money, the Gold Slayer suit is the best value.
- Don’t forget to recycle equipment you don’t need. You’ll often find repeats so there’s no reason to keep a lower rarity of gear or weapon. Recycling will give you coins that you can spend on other valuable upgrades.
When you think you’re ready to take on Nekroval, there are a few powerful strategies that may help you.
- Equip the Heavy Cannon and the Gauss Cannon. Any weapons will work, but I highly recommend these. The Chainsaw Ultimate is good for the invincibility frames when chainsawing, while the BFG is good for straight damage. The Heavy Cannon is great for headshots at any range. The Gauss Cannon when paired with the Gold Slayer armor is unstoppable.
- If you’re using the Heavy Cannon or Plasma Rifle, collect weapon damage boosts as often as possible. You should be grabbing weapon damage instead of health between rooms. Combine these auto-fire weapons with Spread Shot x2, attack speed, and Bounce to apply indirect damage to every enemy in a room. You’ll also do extra damage when you’re extremely close to enemies.
- If you’re using the Gauss Cannon, get Spread Shot, Bounce and Magnetic Boost. This combination can wipe out entire rooms of enemies and is extremely powerful. The tricky part is just getting all three upgrades during a single run.
- Equip gear and upgrades that improves Glory Kills. Getting more health from Glory Kills, causing an explosion, and other mods will make survival much easier during wave rooms.
This level is extremely difficult. If you’re too weak, spend a few days grinding. I know it is extremely annoying, but there are only 9 chapters total. To make this game longer, the developers adding severe difficult spikes you’re meant to overcome. Do your daily events, recharge your energy, grind until you’re about Level 25 and you’ll be able to finally complete Nekroval.
