Skillup:"They Demand your attention in that no other enemy does!"
Me:"Man, it's almost like he has history with you (Doomguy) and has devoted his entire afterlife to fucking kill you... can't imagine why though, it's not like you knew him from your time with the Night Sentinels and were resurrected just for the sake of ending your life..."
Marauder:"You were NEVER one of us, you are nothing but a Usurper, a FALSE IDOL!"
thank you for teaching me how to avoid spawning dogs! could you do a similar video about the Archvile?
I honestly enjoy the Marauder. He's really fun to fight given his different fighting style.
I only came here cuz i had to kill the dude in 30 seconds
The marauder is exactly what he’s meant to be. The developer wanted to have an enemy that you have to focus on that would required you to break your flow to beat
id Software a few months later: "Fuck you, here are two marauders".
🤣🤣🤣I’m weak

DOOM has taught me that ANY range is shotgun range
Lol true words
Super shotgun range
Touche sir.
Real life advice
People who think mauraders are unfair didn't fight lashers. Fuck those things! Haha
"They demand attention in a way no other enemy does"
Archvile Tho
that quote is exactly why marauder is good
I'd argue Archvile takes way more priority than Marauder. The Archvile has the potential to summon multiple high tier demons and even other marauders, on top of that he also buffs them while he's alive.
true
Doomhunter over there like he doesn't need you to hold M1 with the microwave like you're heating a meal.
@@Eleven217there faster ways to take out doom hunters
Any falter into blood punches and SSG , or even punch swap SSG with blood punches charged have bullied hunters doing that sometimes kill them before they fully leave their sled 😂
You can also spam micro missiles as they ignore the armor
Or aim at their sled , only time I remember going for the armor was to spam lock ons on it
Great video dude. The more I have played the more I have learned to deal with them and I completely agree.
Man, honestly, I'm so glad you saw this and commented. I'm a fan of yours. So, this means a lot to me. Maybe it's my perspective as a tournament fighting game player, but I was just shocked at the initial reactionary videos across the board. And I uploaded this video knowing that you had most likely shifted perspective already. Because I know that you aren't some reviewer that's gonna play the game once and then move on. I know you're probably on your 4th or 5th playthrough and I knew you'd see the light. Thanks for the comment really. You have an ally here, 100%.
@@underthemayo I watch all of the reference you put. I was under a suspension of disbelief for the longest time watching them but you helped me realize that to feel badass, you even have to beat the worst version of yourself. In this case, Doom Slayer and Marauder.
Now I can take a second look at Marauder's dialogue "You are nothing but an Usurper, a False Idol" and "Let me help you see". Realized what he truly meant.
@@defaulted9485 and even if they whould see or have seen the complains about him, i feel like they whouldn`t change him because of that. (hopefully)
Oh hey, YOU HERE TOO
@@underthemayoindeed this is quite a good video. It cleared up some opinions i had on the marauder. I too enjoy the marauder fights now, and i wouldn't have it any other way. Also i've been playing on nightmare since the beginning for the best experience. I also did the extra life mode on nightmare, and i have the phobos skin now. I have all the skins for the weapons too. This is honestly the best game this year so far, and the only game i can see competing with it is cyberpunk 2077.
"The Marauder is like fighting an evil version of yourself" I mean.... That's literally canon
I like to think that fighting the Marauder gives you a taste of what the demons are dealing with the entire game: a lightning-fast enemy that evades all your attacks and bullies you at all ranges until you croak and die.
Or a "less evil" version of yourself.
Yeah
@@Modest_PhD That's the best way to put it. You're just a terror to the demons, and the Marauder gives the feels back. It's like Shadow of Mordor- more like Terror of Mordor.
@@Torgo1969 more like a "not angry enough" version of yourself
"We're comfortable with frustrating the player so long as they have something to learn"
- Hugo Martin, game director for Doom Eternal in an interview
Well they sure did frustrate a bunch of "average players who are playing in ultra violence difficulty" xD
@@rimurutempest117 lmfao
That the mentality game directors should be into. You want to create a fun yet challenging experience. Whats more fun than slaughtering this fast and heavy bastard after he's kicked your ass once or twice?
Precisely. This game is centered around being tough, making you think and plan, and being rewarded for creative play. In today's world of modern shooters with interactive cutscenes and forcefed linear encounters, Eternal is a breath of fresh air that challenges the player to prioritize their enemies and use everything at their disposal (including the level) to win. This game literally helps you become a better player as you play it. We've just become so complacent as gamers to the low standards of gameplay design that from the outset, Doom Eternal looks like insurmountable, but is not.
@@3scape4rtist true, except the game is challenging no less. not insurmountable by any means, but pretty damn close to it
Is it me or was the marauderer originally meant to have a bigger role in the story? They feel like more of a rival character than a regular enemy. It’s like their moveset was specifically made to counter, and kill Doom guy.
The doom hunter was meant to do that too but we know how that turned out
You can't stop DOOM
In the codex entry it states that he was once a former Sentinel warrior that was corrupted. They're strong because they once fought alongside doomguy
"STORY" TOP KEK
This is unrelated to this comment thread entirely, but I found the Marauder quite easy, even on my first play through, shoot with ballista when green, follow up with SSG, repeat-
I only had issues with one when I was low on ammo and that's about it-
Saying TOP KEKE 🤓 is so fucking corny lmao
"Marauder is not a bad person. He is just missunderstood."
Darkbeliar he’s just ahard working bloke trying to make it in the world!
Marauder, but we see him working as a cashier at a store
Remember, "Marauder" can be an offensive term! Refer to them as difficultly challenged!
“You are bad guy, but this does not mean you are bad guy”
Well then he is a misunderstood bad person
They've literally said DOOM Eternal is a "Thinking man's action game" so no UEG, point blanking yourself with the rocket launcher will not work.
“To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to play doom eternal”
@@kylemason2836 wow great argument

"This enemy contradicts everything I was taught to do"
Dark Souls Player: *"first time, huh?"*
Anybody whining about this is absolutely pathetic and I cannot even understand how this became a thing.
For real. I never really had an issue with the marauder, I believe it’s because of my souls games, past
That’s how It felt whenever I went against a marauder
Lmao the part where the critic said casual players cant play on the hardest difficulty gave me an aneurism
Fighting the Marauder pretty much is a Dark Souls experience. When I first fought him I died over and over but by the end of the game I'd learned how to take them out relatively quickly, they never stopped being a challenge but I learned how to deal with that challenge and move on. That's what a good game does. It's not like the rest of the game was a cake walk, if you mismanaged your ammo and other resources you're fucking dead, different demons require different tactics and in that respect the Marauder is no different.
Fuck knows how these idiots got through the rest of the game if they couldn't be bothered to actually think about what they're doing.
"The marauder demands your attention" it's a mini boss for a reason
THANK YOU
He's the definition of "notice me senpai"
He is a mini boss!?
Any super heavy is a mini boss@@Bebrberouted
@@Bebrberouted......what about that seems surprising?
Super hard enemy, doesn't display health bar on top of the screen; aren't a whole lot of them in the entire game.
That's literally the definition of a mini boss for most games.
The Marauder is basically the devs saying "we're gonna give you a taste of you own medicine" by throwing an enemy that behaves like a close range Slayer to teach you how to think on your feet and play the range game
also teaches you how to fight someone in their own campaign, the marauder plays like the slayer so you know how to fight player slayers as the demons.
This is really interesting because I can say truthfully that the way in which I got best at dealing with him, is by playing Battlemode as a demon. I learned better evasion tactics against the slayer and how to generally deal with someone with that wide of an Arsenal
I'm fine with that if the game gives me his shield
He basically wants to die on his own terms lol
@@superawsomeblitz smart. REAL smart.
This video also serves as a "How to fight Marauders" guide
I mean....there is also a guide literally in the game. It's not like dark souls where you have to "figure it out yourself" kind of a game, the game literally tells how you to beat the marauder lol
Yeah how many people are going to think hey let shoot this over here or over there to hurt him i was just wondering f you could blood punch him or use the sword on him when stunned i mean if you stun him then snipe him in the head does that hurt more than the ballista it's about experimenting to see what works but from watching vids the ssg and ballista combo works mighty good i just like to be able to kill enemies with any type of weapon or my fav attack i guess i can't or it'll be really challenging to hit him with a charged up ballista just imagine how satisfying that would have been lmao its all good tho this video already provided a multitude of ways to kill its also harder on console because of weapon swamps🗿
The thing that threw me off is when the game first explains it to you, makes it seem like you're supposed to always stand 5-6 feet away in the middle and maintain that the whole time. By the time I finished the game, that's totally off. Run from him most of the time and collect health / ammo and bait him to you when he gets close enough shoot out some grenades and once his eye light up use the ballista / super shotgun. If he summons the wolf deal with that first then back on him. You can also explode rockets by him at a distance. This technique makes him much easier to manage than trying to stay closer to him. They key is to STAY AWAY and watch him come to you. Get in hits then run again. You can also keep nailing him with grenades / rockets next to him at a distance and just keep getting more ammo rinse / repeat if you want to cheese it.
@@N0VANT0 it tells you how to kill it but not tips like baiting him which is literally the only thing you have to do.
@@N0VANT0 the guide tells you to mantain that perfect distance though and with his seemingly faulty at times attack pattern its a quick way to get yourself killed. When i go back through it on the higher difficultys i get the feeling he is the only one that will actually annoy me when he kills me as his pattern and rules are beyond inconsistant.
"the Marauder contradicts every single thing this game encourages"

I suggest you actually watch UEG’s full review video. It’s pretty shocking.
Gotta love how upper echelon calls everyone who disagrees with his takes on the marauder a “contrarian edge lord”... says a lot about his person.

Does the marauder adapt and quickly pulls out his shield when you fire a BFG or something when he's doing his wide open melees?
@@NinjapowerMS He does. Or at least from my experience.
The best thing about the marauder is that it instantly changes the dynamic between you and the demons simply by existing. He demands all your attention.
Not really. You run away from him while killing anything else first. Atleast thats how i deal with them.
@@Trashloot i do the exact opposite. I burn down the marauder first
that is literally what makes him suck wtf are u on about
@@habibishapuror what makes him good?
"The boss fights in doom are underwhelming"
"Yoh this shit is tough what the hell ID?"
Marauder isn't difficult. He is just annoying
@skam 365 exactly. He’s high priority like he said. Deal with him quick or be punished for it. I just don’t think people were ready to play against basically a virtual mirror of themselves (the slayer)
I never had a problem with him. You gotta manage other demons. I usually kill the heavy demons before tackling the maurader, depending on who I'm up against. Literally after the first fight (dying once) I was learning how he played and he never became a problem. Sorry a pretty nice enemy ruined the game for you
He taught me how to play the game. He very quickly became one of my favourites in doom because of his differences
@@skam365 for me doom hunter is more annoying, with maruder you can still run around and kill him but for doom hunter you have to slow down for a while and deal a lot of damage with plasma rifle during a short period to take his shield down. I often get shot with his rockets because of that and it destroys my hp.

The Marauder SHOULD demand your full attention. Hugo said he's the Darth Maul to the Slayer's Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The only thing I wish for was that his chance to stagger was higher. The glory kills against him are satisfying.

He isnthe only one who still resisst at the very end on the glory kills.
@@georgenajera4730 yeah, the Archvile does that too.
Hann personally I wish he had more diverse set of glory kills
There is no stagger chance. Enemies become staggered after taking a certain amount of damage. There’s no luck about it.
the game literally tells you everything you need to know about this guy.
I've loved him since day 1 and I've never understood the hate
Fairly certain the tutorial tells you to stick to midrange at all times not to back off
It’s just not well worded so that’s probably why everyone hated him
@@jmurray1110 Yea the tutorial for them is bad and misleading. Your suppose to back off, dodge the axe throw and bait them into running at you for parry opening. The enemy itself is great.
@@renard1 Yeah I do like him
At least in smaller fight and certain nit paired with a pain elemental or something
@@jmurray1110 in order to maintain mid range u need to move back and worth its pretty self explanatory i didn't know people who play dooms are retards with lack of common sense or logical capabilities.
I do agree the tutorial text was misleading. I started beating him when I stopped taking those hints into consideration.
The Marauder is literally a demonized night sentinel. A demonized version of the Doomslayer. He is SUPPOSED to draw attention and break the rules. He is SUPPOSED to be extra hard; the only enemy really worthy of you.
Comentário FODA!
Arch-vile: am I a joke to you?
the creative director said he was basically the black belt master of the demons
Out of all the Super Heavies, I hate the fucking Arch Viles. Marauders are the personification of 'get gud' but it's the best kind of 'get gud' because if you CAN step up to the challenge it is fucking REWARDING.
Your first Marauder okay I get that, but then you will fight the Marauder IN THE MIDDLE OF A MASSIVE BATTLEFIELD, and kill him in a couple minutes and then when you go back to when you started you think 'Lol, fucking rekt'
*those who can actually play
lol they literally sound like Demons who can’t kill the Slayer
except for that one zombie that was playing with the slayers toys
😂😂
JwGacey1 He basically spat in his face
The marauder is just Bethesda and ids way of saying "have you ever thought about what it's like to be the demons"
“We need to nerf the slayer! He’s way to fast and his damage hits like a truck! We can never beat him, and he takes groups of us down like a weed wacker to grass! #nerfslayer”
everyone forgets that the marauder is a sentinel knight just like doomguy, he is pretty much in the game to counter the doom slayer and be a hard and tough enemy
Lore shouldnt be an excuse for poor design
@@narrowstone5363 Poor Gameplay Skill shouldn't be an excuse for hating an enemy.
NarrowStone why don’t you try to actually beat him instead of complaining
@Exzavier the poor game design of the marauder is usually seen is his ironic unpredictability and poorly made attack ranges. For example:
I have had experiences where the marauder will launch the plasma wave at near point blank, I dodge backwards to avoid it, and then get shot with his shotgun, despite that being supposedly wrong due to the tip page. It should have been the opposite.
For another example I have attacked the marauder while his eyes were glowing green, only to have him dodge out of the way in a psuedo omae wa mu.
If the marauder was scripted to be what it was supposed to be, I doubt most people would have a problem with this enemy, as he would be just like any other super heavy.
The fixes I would propose if doom eternal was a beta game that was intent on fixing itself are as follows
Clear up when he can use certain attacks based on range to player. This is how it's supposed to work, but it does not function correctly with that in mind
Lower his health by maybe 25% nothing too substantial, but enough to balance out how much time you must focus him down.
Make his dog only trigger if the player hits him. You should never punish a player for something outside their conventional control
Fix the tip page to follow his ingame function
Avery Whitaker did you watch the video in which he literally lists other ways to beat the marauder, including how to beat him with the BFG?? You gotta watch the video.

Lowkey the marauder is one of the easiest enemies to deal with, he literally tells you "hey man I'm about to attack you" you stun him and well....he dies lol 😆
All you need to kill him is the ballista and the super shotgun
I completely agree.
have you played ancient gods?
in it in some parts there are marauders + tyrants + bunch of other demons, while i do like marauders, i dont agree that dealing with him is "easy". you cant really outrun him, he's just as fast and you either have to ignore others and are forced to take damage from them or ignore the marauder and have him attack you. i have to say that i enjoy the marauder encounters but disagree with you
Easiest to deal with once you learn basic weapon swapping and use grenades.

@Frax I don't think playing the classic doom games make much of a difference. Im an average player on *console* and I find UV to be the ideal level of challenge.
Something I think a lot of people overlook with the Marauder is that his stagger windows are actually super generous. You don't have to hit him only when his eyes flash green: You can hit him at any point in the melee attack and unless you hit him at the very end of it, you'll probably get a stagger. Also grenades are a great way to reclaim the tempo of a Marauder fight if things are turning bad

Yea I thought they were straightforward enough even on Nightmare. Just parry with the super shotgun, quick swap to ballista for a second shot. Rinse and repeat maybe 6 or 7 times and he's dead. Easy.

Even before the game's release this sentence was debunked. Use BFG after you stun him and he's dead. It's not worth 30 argent ammo tho...
But you have to do it at least once right.
He is even immune to the Crucible.
YET , if you staggered him and switch to the crucible in the right moment he is also dead meat too.
Its just a split second but HOLY FUCK ITS AWESOME once you manage to do that.

Upper Echelon Gaming:
*kills every single fodder demon with a sticky bomb *
*"why does this game never give me ammo?"*
I see this style of gameplay every time sometime complains about ammo. Fodder are walking loot boxes. Flame and chain them as needed and they would do fine.
its funny because the game literally gives you the advice of using the chainsaw or doing glory kills on zombies or demons with small health bars if you want ammo
Calamity Cruz well glory kills don’t give ammo.
@@BallMuncher555 recharges super punch and drops health. Also if you have that one rune that gives you speed boost after performing a glory kill
Luizito 123 ik they recharge blood punch and give you health, they just don’t give ammo tho.
"Why would an average player be playing ultra-violence?"
Civvie:
Hurt me plenty.
Ultra-Violence is hard, but it's not Nightmare. I can see an average player picking it for their first playthrough and getting along fine.
Civvie made a mistake he even said that himself. He's an above average being tho, so that's okay.
@@RottenHeretic Watching his review, I don't think Civvie is above average at modern fps games. I'm absolutely not going to dispute his skill at classic fps, but the difference between his gameplay and someone like Mayo's is night and day. He doesn't weapon switch much, seems to have a habit of sitting still in arenas, and doesn't respect demons' melee range just off the top of my head. When I saw him pick UV and then saw his Hell on Earth gameplay I was pretty sure it'd end poorly.
And he calls himself upper echelon gamet. What a joke.
He is immune to the BFG.
Hugo Martin: *Accidentaly deletes Marauder with single BFG shot*
@Antonio Trivelloni and Hana Macchia. And me.....😅
Lol i remember my early days of Eternal where i used mobile turret to beat up marauders, and when i staggered him with SSG i accidentaly grabbed the BFG and just shot right on his face. He died, but it was a waste of BFG ammo i could use on several enemies at once.
Where?.
@@RonaldAsks Hana Macchia...Nijisanji ID. Let's Go!!

The Marauder is not nearly the hardest part of this game. I always get excited when I see one. I’m not even good at this game and they NEVER are the reason I get stuck on a level.
Marauder cares for the environment. He takes your wasted bullets and creates new life.

-Dario Casali
If Plutonia gives them a hard time, they'd better stay far away from Evilution.
@@Lugbzurg I haven't played Evilution in a long time, but I remember it being way easier than Plutonia. Does it change on ultra violence that much? Int the PS1 Final Doom the Evilution levels were before Plutonia.
@@tbirddddd That's really odd. I was just playing them back-to-back shortly before Eternal came out, and Evilution was waaaaay more punishing, while Plutonia was kind of a breeze.

No the Buffed Maruader
@@lred1383 No it’s not that his Ai just breaks sometimes
I find the encounter with him to be like Dark Souls. You've got to learn his movements, learn when to attack and when to dodge and in a way when to parry his attack to stagger him and get a second attack in.
Still hard due to surrounding enemies and or map layout but very rewarding.
Just started playing dark souls, and this is spot on
Doom Eternal is like the Dark Souls of shooty games
So is Dark Souls the only game where you have to learn a boss's patterns?
yes there was never any game where you had to learn boss paterns.
DARK SOULS invented paterns XD
jezus fuck you are fucking moron.
I like how people are complaining about him being too hard, as if they didn’t expect him to be hard after every interview said he would be the hardest enemy you have to fight
THE NUMB SKULL the problem isn’t how hard he is, it’s with the frequency you have to fight him.
@@austinbailey4605 *_Good._* If he was just a single throwaway boss fight, his great design would've gone to waste.

@@austinbailey4605 I honestly thought he'd be harder
What kind of a weakling would even think of this as a problem? In my mind these men are pathetic.
Austin Bailey you fight the marauder 10-15 times (excluding slayer gates, but if you cant handle a marauder you cant handle those.) every other enemy you fight over 100 times aside from bosses. This is the least frequent enemy.

Yeah, I personally think Arch-vile is still the annoying champion in this game, which is nice, love putting that bastard in his place
Sgt. Versok
I actually hate fighting Archy more and kept a healthy stack nukes ready for when he arrived
I found the Marauders kinda nice, it’s odd everyone thinks the BFG is a single shot rocket launcher when you’re first instructed to kill 60 enemies, and your intro is simply to take out 15+ enemies per shot which you can reset the checkpoint to farm that spot for he 60 kills with practically no issue, never once did I use the BFG in any of the doom games even Doom 3 to kill 1 enemy unless it was a boss or the cyber demon things Doom resurrection brought to the table
Hell Pinkies are the marauders of Doom 2016 for me especially when spawning in groups and usually worth using BFG ammo on
Tip: run around until you find Archy and reset checkpoint once he is found to take him out quickly before he spawns too many
@@versok2999 It took me till the final level to realize his fire shield can be destroyed to disrupt his summoning. The more i thought on it the more i realize my complaints about the enemy design has been mostly that I need to learn how to fight them

@Antonio Trivelloni I had a LOT of trouble with whiplashes cause their argent wave are essentially lock-on
They can be tough enemies, but there is no quirky mechanic you need to understand in order to defeat them.
@Antonio Trivelloni youre fine lol I thought it was funny
Funny how now we went from “nerf him he’s too difficult!”to “easy 3 second kill womp womp marauder”
What I've noticed is that Marauders, even towards the end of the game, only spawn at the end of battles - and since they're difficult to engage when you've got other demons to worry about, I've always viewed them as the game telling you to get on with it -- forcing you to wipe out any remaining heavy demons ASAP so you can engage the Marauder on fairer terms. I thought it was an absolutely brilliant way of upping the stakes at the end of a battle.
Yes, Marauders only show up at the end of an arena, usually when there are 3/4 demons left (which you can easily take care of while "running away" from the Marauder to then engage in a full 1 on 1 combat).
I concur.
The only exception being slayer gate 5, where they toss one at you right away. Still, even on nightmare the maykr drones make it easy with all the drops, and I only died because I un -clenched after killing the marauder and got sloppy with the hell knights like a chump lol
Especially when he has mancubi with him always take that out first
Van Codling *Two
They toss TWO at you right away. I dealt with one via a lucky shot with the BFG.
" as an average player, playing ULTRAVIOLENT" that shows you why its so hard

You're tearing through demons, switching weapons around, ripping them in half with your own hands. Now, here comes the Marauder with his shield. You have to hit him when his guard is down, so you have to wait around for that. That alone would've been ok...you get over it eventually. But then you also have to deal with the other enemies while the Marauder is also attacking you, while he is summoning that annoying dog that chases you around. It's just an overall annoyance.
@@ShinRock54 did you watch the video? at all?

There is plenty of variety with all the tools you can use. The problem with the marauder is that there's basically just one proper way to damage him. When enemies have weak spots, that's cool, that's fair. But then you have this guy who has a ruleset you need to follow to kill him while avoiding dozens of other demons and trying to survive the onslaught. It's just a terribly designed enemy that could work in some other game, but it sure as hell does not belong in a Doom game.

But I do agree about the Marauder.
@@falcon1029 Yeah, guess is also my fault for being kind of a masochist since i prefer to resolve most encounters without BFG or Crucible. What i meant mostly is those specific moments when you see demons spawning and buffs coming up but you are not sure where the Archvile is at the time.
