Here the common misconception 'more health = harder monster' comes into play. Hard to kill yes, due to the high health points - but in many, many cases they just grind the game to a halt because it takes too long to kill them. The problem with the Baron is not that it's a 'hard' monster. Even there's no SSG, there's still a lot of easy methods to kill Barons. Maybe people have really complained that Barons have too much health so ID Software added a Hell Knight in Doom 2, but I really disagree Barons have too much health and hard to kill. Berserk can actually finish Barons the fastest if careful.ĩth compare to some new monsters in Doom 2, it's just typical for a Baron to have such health.ġ0th compare to that replaced super hell knight to Doom 3, Baron is just a piece of cake. In 2002ADO E2M4 ammo is quite limited in vary parts so fisting against them are needed. 1st Barons are already bosses in Episode 1 of both Ultimate Doom and 2002ADO.Ģnd players can make use of infighting to lower Baron's health.ģrd Barons are not very hard to deal with, you still got the rocket launcher, plasma gun and BFG right even ther's no SSG?Ĥth in Ultimate Doom, Barons just 2.5 times more health than 2nd highest health monster cacodemons with 400HP.ĥth Barons are very easy bosses compared to Cyberdemons and Spider Masterminds, they have 3 to 4 times higher health than Barons!Ħth Barons are just common in hard wads like AV, HR, SOD etc.ħth using just shotgun and chaingun to kill barons is not that hard and doesn't take a long time to do so, as long as you got enough ammo.Ĩth Berserk can make good use against Barons.
