If you somehow survive the first attack, Baalgar will repeat it very quickly, and chances are you will be still juggled in the air and helpless. This spectacular attack will reach you almost instantly no matter the distance, and is powerful enough to be practically an instant-kill. In this case, he will recognize your advantage and react by deploying his most powerful attack: a three-hit combo that entails smashing the ground with tremendous force and speed. These include: an unholstered BFG10k, Quad Damage or Regeneration powerups. Uniquely, Baalgar will respond with even more extreme aggression if you approach him with specific items. It will take a lot of ammunition to defeat this heavily-protected opponent, but as long as you can avoid his wrath, his fall will be a matter of time. Because he is such a big target, the Chaingun and the Nailgun should not have much problems hitting him even at long range. No weapon can kill him quickly - however, the Lightning Gun's Shocking Core can take a great potion of his health if it manages to target only him for the entire duration. The only moment when Baalgar is exposed to attacks is when he jumps - otherwise, be on guard at all times, because when Baalgar attacks, there is little time to react even when you are ready. Moreover, Rocket Jumping may be of great help for evading his attacks, especially the rock wave (which does have a limited range, but is more reliable to escape from by jumping). He is a little easier to fight in open spaces, where you can dodge his attacks with good timing.

Accordingly, stay as far away as you can, as his ranged attacks generate gigantic splash damage. When you encounter him, first you need to find cover immediately. Not only he is very determined to get rid of you, his durability is also the highest out of all common Hell creatures, taking around 30 BFG10k shots to be killed. He is the most aggressive boss by far, throwing an attack after attack tirelessly.īaalgar is probably the most difficult non-unique demon to engage. At long range, he will grab a big rock from the ground in order to throw it at you like a missile, or send a wall - formed out of ruptured floor - in your direction All of his attacks deliver extreme injury: the weakest rock attack can kill a newly-spawned player in two hits, and the rest of them typically cause well over 100 points of damage. At middle range, he will rip open the floor, sending a huge rock wave your way. At close range, he will either stomp or high-kick you. Baalgar's moveset is quite varied, so he has a response to every situation.
