If your timing is good, you can use the Super Shotgun to stagger the Marauder just after his dash begins. You need to attack the Marauder then, and only then because he’ll block all damage at any other point in the fight. When the Marauder goes to charge, he’ll glow green. He’s resistant to Super Weapons, so you can’t really use those, and if you get anywhere in close range you’ll get slapped around with a shotgun. The hunter still darts sideways quite a bit, so if you don’t have the ability to detonate rockets mid-air you might end up wasting a bit of ammo.ĭubbed the most annoying of all the bosses, the Marauder has different attack patterns depending on how close or far away you are. Once the sled’s destroyed, you’ll end up in the second phase of the boss fight where the Hunter floats around normally. The super shotgun will do the most damage if you grapple in, but you’ll take a massive hit after the first shot, which isn’t worth it. The area you’re fighting has a few levels and ramps which are great for giving yourself distance, after which point you can deal damage to the sled with the Heavy Cannon from afar. This is just the first phase of the fight, and in this stage I wouldn’t recommend grappling towards the DOOM Hunter.

To deal with the rest of the Hunter, you’ll want to aim at the hovercraft-like sled underneath. If you want to deal with the shield right away, you’ll need to spam the Plasma Rifle at the DOOM Hunter’s shield.

Deag Ranak talks a lot about finding a “worthy opponent” for Doomguy, and eventually a giant mecha-demon comes out of the works: a yellow-eyed, shielded DOOM Hunter complete with chainsaw.
