Agadon the Hunter, a brand-new enemy replacing the Marauder, isn't just a souped-up version of his predecessor; he's a completely unique challenge. He blends the strengths of several bosses, skillfully dodging, evading attacks, and even deflecting projectiles—a real test for the Doom Slayer. Prepare for a diverse array of combo attacks that will demand mastery of the sawtooth shield, a mechanic reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a game that heavily influenced the developers' design. The Agadon encounter serves as the ultimate culmination of skills learned throughout the game, a final exam of sorts.
The developers, recognizing player feedback regarding the Marauder's difficulty, haven't abandoned the concept of a challenging boss fight. They believe players are ready for a significant hurdle, but acknowledge that the Marauder's issues stemmed not from the difficulty itself, but from its abrupt introduction and lack of explanation.

The Marauder fight's reliance on previously unused mechanics led to frustration for some players due to the jarring shift in gameplay. DOOM: The Dark Ages aims to address this by more smoothly integrating mechanics and better preparing players for the challenges ahead.
DOOM: The Dark Ages launches May 15, 2025, on current-gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and PC (Steam).
