The '''Icon of Sin''' or '''Baphomet''' is the final boss of ''Doom II'' and both chapters of ''Final Doom''. Its image appears in the original ''Doom'' on numerous pieces of stone tablets, although it is never an enemy in the game.

This demon, the largest in the ''Doom'' series, continuously projects skull-faced cubes from its exposed brain. Upon landing, these cubes spawn monsters to attack the player. It cannot summon cyberdemons, spider masterminds, or zombies. If a cube lands on a Doomguy, he will be immediately telefragged, even with an invulnerability powerup or the God Mode cheat. In normal play, a player can only defeat the Icon by shooting rockets into its exposed brain. Its size is further hinted at in part of the ''Doom II'' epilogue: "The monster shrivels up and dies, its thrashing limbs devastating untold miles of Hell's surface." | ||
Using the noclip cheat code, one can enter the Icon of Sin and see the "brain". Inside, there is a sprite of John Romero's head impaled on a spike. It is within the splash damage radius of the rocket launcher, and damaging the head is what kills the Icon of Sin. By using the noclip cheat, you can kill the head with only one or two point blank shotgun blasts. The arcane chant the Icon of Sin speaks is actually John Romero speaking "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero!", distorted and reversed. | Using the noclip cheat code, one can enter the Icon of Sin and see the "brain".
