DOOM: The Dark Ages Will Introduce Its Own Marauder

by Emily Mar 16,2025

Agadon the Hunter, a brand-new enemy replacing the Marauder, isn't just a souped-up version of its predecessor. This unique foe blends the best (or worst, depending on your perspective!) traits of several bosses. He dodges, evades, and even deflects projectiles, demanding a far more strategic approach from the Doom Slayer. Prepare for a diverse range of combo attacks that will push your skills to the limit, requiring mastery of the sawtooth shield—a mechanic reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a game that clearly influenced the developers. Think of the Agadon encounter as the ultimate final exam, testing everything you've learned throughout the game.

The developers, recognizing player feedback regarding the Marauder's challenging nature, haven't abandoned the concept of a difficult boss fight. However, they've addressed past criticisms. The problem wasn't the difficulty itself, but rather the abrupt introduction and lack of clear explanation of the necessary mechanics.

The Marauder's reliance on previously unused mechanics led to player frustration, disrupting the game's flow. DOOM: The Dark Ages aims to rectify this with a smoother introduction of mechanics and better player preparation.

DOOM: The Dark Ages launches May 15, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
