DOOM 3 Hints

Hellknight

  • Health: 900
    Attack Damage: 25 from claws, 30 from bite, 30 from fireball, and up to 45 from fireball splash damage
    First Seen: Delta Labs Level 4

    These are the big bad-asses like the one pictured on the front of the game box. Nice smile, huh? It'll be the last smile you ever see if you let one get *that* close to you in the game. Fortunately, hellknights are no speed demons, so it shouldn't be hard to keep some distance as you fire at their huge carcasses with your powerful rapid-fire weapons or the mighty BFG. You can also shoot down their fireballs while you're at it. (If you have the soulcube and it's charged, that's the weapon to use. Kill them and heal yourself at the same time!)

    It is possible (though very dangerous) to kill a hellknight with the shotgun alone. You'd need to charge the knight while strafing to avoid his fireballs. Get in for a point-blank head shot, then *immediately* back off before he can bite you or scratch you. Dodge another fireball if needed, then go back in for another head shot. This can be a fun challenge for experienced players, or even (in some few cases) a necessity.
