Duke Nukem 3D Hints

Battlelord (Boss #1)

  • There are actually two variations of this boss -- you will fight the tougher one at the end of L. A. Meltdown.  You'll find the others in various parts of Lunar Apocalypse and Shrapnel City.  The only difference is that the one at the end of the first episode takes many more hits than the others.  In addition to having a chaingun, the Battlelord also has quick-firing mortar shells that, if they get close to you, can make your day very bad.  Check the episode 1 hints for strategies on how to beat the first boss.  When fighting these guys at other points in the game, just stay back, hide behind something, and fire away with an RPG.
