AirRaid Posted October 16, 2004 Uuhh you just shoot them until they die. It shouldn't be that hard, you can actually kill one of them without reloading. (Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Gun, Chaingun, BFG) 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted October 16, 2004 A fully-charged BFG shot following by a quick plasma strafe does the job for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Godshatter Posted October 16, 2004 they are hell-knights you will face more of them later if you dont have a bfg, 5 rockets to one will put it down, then unload the chaingun or plasma gun into the other. 0 Share this post Link to post

It took me 7 rockets to one of the HKs to bring him down (tried just yesterday). The other HK's take 4 to 6 rockets though. Don't know if it's a bug or what. Btw, he might as well zap the other with a non-charged BFG blast since you're gonna lose all your ammo right afterwards anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted October 17, 2004 I didn't even find the BFG before I went to hell. But that Bruiser Brother match is pretty easy. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted October 17, 2004 Yeah, it's pretty easy. The only (minor) problem is the arena is a little cramped with a few barriers etc to snag yourself on. With a slightly larger arena there would be no challenge to that fight what so ever. 0 Share this post Link to post

As in the first HK you fight in hell - run up, smack him in the face with a shotgun round, back up before he whacks you, repeat 2-3 times. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted October 17, 2004 thats how I do it. a up clois eand personal shotgun blast usally makes for quick work of those guys. however if youa re not quick it can also make quick work of you 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted October 17, 2004 Spike said:As in the first HK you fight in hell - run up, smack him in the face with a shotgun round, back up before he whacks you, repeat 2-3 times. Absolutely. That's pretty much how I do it. However, every now and again I back up onto a railing or something else just gets in my way. And that's really what I was saying. The monsters aren't hard, but if you don't look out for stuff in the way in that fairly small space, that's what'll lead to you getting killed. Out in the open, those guys are no threat because you can always avoid their attacks. It's just when you are in a small space with obstacles, and you're clumsy :-), you get caught. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomDan Posted October 18, 2004 A Single Chaingun Belt will Kill a Hell Knight.Try aiming for their Head if your really low on Ammo. I thought the Rocket Launcher in Doom 3 Should of been more Powerful. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted October 18, 2004 The later HK (just after the soul bridge in Hell) is much more of a pain, since all your exits are blocked off and the only place left to go is through the fucker. 0 Share this post Link to post
XXoXX Posted October 18, 2004 The 2 HK + Archvile spawned at the beginning of Caverns 2 was actually the worst for me. The area is very small to start with... 0 Share this post Link to post
BlueSonnet Posted October 18, 2004 I remember when i first fought those two hellknights by the portal (notice how it parodies E1M8 from doom1 noobs). I couldn't get my bfg working properly; kept blowing up in my face or not doing enough damage. Soon as i got it sussed i kicked the snot out of 'em.

Soul cube and bfg worked fine for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Airman266 Posted October 22, 2004 Every time I fight the two at the portal, they're harder to kill then the ones later in the game are. And I'm not just talking about there being no place to go, they seem harder to kill, period. Also, does anyone else notice that their projectiles generate splash damage? 0 Share this post Link to post

They're tougher than the regular Hellknights - in a way, they're a sort of "fake Barons". 0 Share this post Link to post
Airman266 Posted October 22, 2004 I didn't keep completely up to speed with the Doom 3 news, so I really had no idea that the Baron wasn't in the game. When I bet it without running into one, I was a bit disappointed. I'm sure this isn't surprising, or new to anyone. 0 Share this post Link to post

"Extremely pissed off and very damn disappointed" would be closer to the truth in my case :-P Now I've settled with the hopes that we'll see good ol' Baron in an expansion - it had better be there! 0 Share this post Link to post

Imps, Hell Knights, Mancubus, Revenants, Cyberdemon... though I'm not that sure on the Cacodemon; that floaty critter might be the exception. 0 Share this post Link to post

Of course, the HK's attack has a wider area-of-effect than pretty much all the others (except for the Cybie), so it's easier to notice with him. 0 Share this post Link to post
