After having taunted you throughout the campaign of DOOM Eternal, this big pretentious flying Khan Maykr will finally be open to dialogue with the Doom Slayer. You'll have a tough fight ahead of you. Here are some tips and tricks to help you.
DOOM Eternal: How to defeat the Khan Maykr
- As with the Gladiator and the obstacles you've faced so far, collecting as many items as possible during missions and in the Fortress of Doom will be of great help in this battle. Try having a stock of extra lives.
- The principle of the fight is rather simple: you have to shoot the Khan Maykr until she loses her golden armor, then you have to use the Super Shotgun and Meat Hook to get close to her and then melee attack on her. You will have to repeat the operation until death, that is to say 6 times.
- The Khan uses 2 attacks by default, yellow lightning bolts quite similar to the Marauder's ranged attacks. Given the distance, they are generally easy to dodge. The purple ball is much more fearsome: you see it charging for a few seconds, then a very fast projectile will be launched. You'll either have to take cover behind one of the many obstacles in the area, or use a dash at the right time. As the ball has an area of effect, you won't be able to dodge it completely by running normally.
- The best weapon against the Khan is certainly the Rocket Launcher with the Lock-On Burst mod. The Ballista is a good alternative because of its accuracy and instant damage.
- After a few punches, the Khan will gain a new power. Red areas on the ground will cover part of the arena, and walking on them will inflict damage. Try to avoid them with double jumps and dashes. You can also use the many aerial elements in the area so you don't have to stay on the ground any longer than necessary. As the battle progresses, the red areas on the ground will expand, limiting your options. The rune Chrono Strike, which slows down the time in the air, is a great help in this battle.
- The enemies present in addition to the boss are more difficult than usual, since they are variants of Maykr drones. They are aggressive and mobile, but if you kill them with a head shot, they explode and release tons of ammunition and life. The best weapon for this is the Heavy Cannon with the scope, a single well-placed bullet to the head will do the trick. You can also use the good old flamethrower and chainsaw combo on occasion.
