The Fireborne Barons have evolved, the descendant clan of the Baron hell breed, and are indigenous to the caustic, scorched hellscapes bordering the Burning Abyss. If you can swap between them quickly, you can easily take them down fast. Weakness – They are weakest to the Chaingun and Rocket Launcher. Forged from Hellfire, the Archvile is feared among lesser demons for its innate ability to channel and manipulate the unholy powers of Hell magic. If you can catch him while he is summoning, then you won’t have any issues with him. This is the most annoying demon in the game for me because it summons tons of enemies if you can’t get to him in time. Its fire wall can be destroyed with a Blood Punch. Weakness – It can’t attack while summoning a group of demons, so approach it from behind and deal as much damage as you can. Its legs have also been made much larger, and the body has become more narrow. However, its turret has been moved from its underbelly to the rear of its body. The design is fairly similar to its original depiction in Doom 2, a demonic brain on large mechanized legs. The Arachnotron is one of the first enemies you fight in the second half of the first level and they can be challenging if it is the first time you fight them. Baron of Hell numbers by game Broken down by game and difficulty.Weakness – Shooting its back turret with the Combat Shotgun’s Sticky Bombs or the Heavy Cannon’s Scoped Attachment will destroy it and force the Arachnotron to fight closer to you.


In the following Episodes, Doom II and later games, Barons appear more frequently as regular enemies. The Baron character first appears as a duo, as the end bosses, in Episode 1 (Knee-Deep in the Dead) of Doom. These bruisers are a lot like Hell knights, but look a little different and are twice as tough to kill.- Doom II manual Baron of Hell sprites Only below Cyberdemons and Spiderdemons in terms of strength, a Baron of Hell will scratch like an Imp when close and hurl green fireballs from a distance. The Hell knight was bad news but this is Big Daddy. Tough as a dump truck and nearly as big, these Goliaths are the worst things on two legs since Tyrannosaurus rex.- Doom manual (this same description was used for Hell Knights in Doom II)
