I feel vindicated knowing that even an incredibly skilled speedrunner like you hates the marauder. I thought the first marauder encounter was really badass, then they just kinda kept coming as normal enemies, which retroactively made the marauder much less cool. The game just Stops when the marauder spawns and forces you to focus only him, and I'm glad to know that I wasn't just hallucinating not hitting his shield when he spawns ghost wolves even though I didn't shoot him. Thank you marauder for teaching me to weapon swap, but fuck you for coming back afterwards and for ganking me with all your friends.
Also my actual biggest complaint about him is that he makes the Unmaykr and BFG into shitty joke weapons. Like are they supposed to be reality warping, planet busting god weapons? Or can they be blocked by some random mob's transparent riot shield? bruh
Honestly, my exact complaint with the Marauder is that it is just boring to fight, not difficult. It has inconsistencies and just brings the game to a hault when in normal combat. Just a very repetitive boring enemy with the difficulty curve similar to that of learning not to put a fork in a microwave
I honestly love the idea of the marauder, and I honestly didn’t think that the marauder was too hard of an enemy, also, if you use the super shotty and the ballista it barely takes time at all to kill
the most accurate interpretation of the fun zone yet. ggs strmr 8:37 also pretty sure that's an extra life warp game teleports you back to the last place you were on the floor when you died after misinterpreting the definition for "the last place you were on the floor", usually from a messed up mantle
I was fighting a maurauder when he turned green but a zombie hit him from behind so he activate his shield and shotguned me, also if you are far enough they will start sprinting at you (without their axe) and when they reach you its a guaranteed green light. (Good for cheesing him)
Challenge idea: I call it hide and seek, Every arena has one archville (on top of normal enemies) an archville programmed to never attack the player at all and stay as far away from the slayer as possible and when it summons it always summons another archville with the same fearful properties as well as the normal spawns of enemies, if not controlled any and all arenas can outbreak into an army of archies and other enemies that constantly flood the arena If this challenge is even possible to get working it would be pure insanity to see in action
2:57 I had this BS happen to me in a particular section in Blood Swamps in TAG1. You know the one, where the green dog is creating a "safe zone" of sorts. In that section, there's a part where you're fighting a turret and a Marauder in that limited area. The Marauder would routinely go out of that area, get himself damaged, pull up the shield and spawn a dog, all the while I'm trying to eliminate that turret. Took me multiple tries and specific strategies to ensure I don't get melted by the turret while I'm trying to fight the Marauder or don't get hacked or shotgunned by the Marauder while trying to eliminate the turret. Fun part was not having any ammo for Ballista or Heavy Cannon, and having to get out of the safe zone to get those ammo pickups.
THIS is the kind of speedrunner I admire. They not only show their skills on how they complete the game as fast as possible, but they ALSO teach you on how they accomplish said skills
I don't dislike the marauder as much as some, at least not in the way it appears in the main games and DLCs. The dog is, solely because of how it can be activated by other demons, is the absolute worst feature of the ENTIRE franchise. I'd say the the bugs are pretty bad, but in my experience the whole game is buggy as hell, so although the Marauder makes these bugs worse because of how cheezy it is, ID just has difficulties in general implementing a lot of their enemies so they work consistently
The arena ending, and this is a total assumption with zero proof whatsoever, but maybe the arena ending trigger requires a certain value to be reached, with light demons being worth the least, and super heavy the most. If the arena is only maruaders, you would reach your quota way faster than normal. Once again, total assumption, no proof.
I was not expecting a clip of dad playing Eternal at the start. Funny video man! very entertaning seeing a mix of speedrun strats and goofing around with a messy mod
Possibly for the arenas ending randomly, it could be that the remaining marauders are coded as zombies which will just die of cringe sometimes when you kill the last demon in the arena. For example the doom hunter fight spawns zombies as well as imps and soldiers, so maybe after you killed DH you just had to kill the non zombie marauders and then the others despawned.
8:34 - I dunno if this was ever answered, but my impression is that it's likely the Extra Life has "checks" for where to respawn you in the event of a death. Like a manager of some sorts. Usually it can respawn you pretty much where you are, but systems like this that "pick up" the player after falling for example, can bug out and if they're poorly programmed, you can end up respawning on top of a pit. In this case, I think the respawn could not immediately put you back where you were, because, as I analyzed the frames... a marauder was right in your face as you died, on the right of the screen. You were also in mid-air, so it's possible respawning you here would either collide with an enemy or cause some kind of collision error or something else with the world mesh. The extra-life system then probably took this as meaning you fell into a pit, and grabbed the nearest ledge from which you could've fallen or the nearest "respawn point" available. This caused you to respawn outside the arena next to a ledge. That's my hypothesis.
as both an ultrakill AND Doom fan the urge to parry does not go away in doom I have died so many times trying to parry when that doesn't exist. Why am I commenting this here? IDK
I love the human trait of making hard things even harder for the fun of it. It also shows humans like hard tasks but we also have to thoroughly enjoy it otherwise we hate it.
I actually like how the marauders slow the game down a bit. You have to decide between fighting the demons around him, giving him your full attention, or risking both. He's also one of the most agile demons in the game, so I don't find it hard to separate him from the rest of the group. Due to his difficulty and status among fans, taking one down quickly is just plain satisfying man!
Nah I played it with a friend of mine and duoed up as Archvile and Marauder and it was really fun for a few nights. We got tired of it pretty quick but it was good for a while.
Someone should create a mod that replaces every demon with a marauder but the replaced demons powers are infused into the marauder whilst the marauder still keeps it's own powers
The armored baron, Tyrant/Cyber Demon, and Archevile are harder. Except when there's a screacher there. That platform in TAG 2 pissed me off so much. I kinda love the Marauder, though. I hate him. But I love him.
Maybe it's just that the marauder is supposed to be super easy on "hurt me plenty", but it's always seemed pretty easy to me. Just get the ballista and super shotgun, and make sure to dodge and time it right.
upon my return to doom eternal I realized that the marauders are really easy to kill. My strat: super shotgun + ballista. Shoot when the eyes flash with the super shotgun then hit it with a ballista shot. It takes like 20 seconds max. Took some advice from other UA-camrs to keep him at mid range and holy shit it works so well. Just gotta be smart about how you play.
6:03 Wowee, I did not know any of these things. I was wondering why all these videos had such fast switching... Jeez, this is going to revolutionize my gameplay. Also, 15:00, that Maurader made a very quizzical noise.
I believe you teleported through the wall due to the extra life, practically probably giving a new sprite somewhere else. I'm no tech or software genius though
It's irritating lol... I don't hate the marauder because it's difficult to beat. I hate the marauder because it was coded wrong! It's an amazing enemy that was implemented wrong! 😫😫
Someone should create a mod where instead of the marauder summoning a ghost dog, he summons another marauder
oh god please no
Multiply
That will =inf because the new ones make more new ones.
NOOOOOO
Well what about every heavy demon is a gladiator (that one boss in sentinel prime right before you killed the final hell priest).
Every enemy is a archville but always spawns the worst demons
*constantly spawning muraders*
It spawns more archviles
Archvile spawning icons
I SUMMON THEE IMP
They‘d summon both marauders and more archviles which continue the same process
game journalist worst nightmare
that final marauder in ARC complex actually tripped on an pixel 💀💀💀
a pixel*
Thanks for the timestamp 😂
lol

it's not hated because it's hard. It's hated because it's inconsistent. Like... c'mon.
After 3 years I can finally say that I’m more afraid of cursed prowlers than the marauder😂
tbh i like them but they can be a pain sometimes
Honestly, my exact complaint with the Marauder is that it is just boring to fight, not difficult. It has inconsistencies and just brings the game to a hault when in normal combat. Just a very repetitive boring enemy with the difficulty curve similar to that of learning not to put a fork in a microwave
the btd6 music at 3:47 made me think I had the game running
Bloons music lives rent free in my head too
Lol
Btd6 the goat
Hey all! Thanks for watching and whatnot.
My "Omega CBT DLC Run" is over and has been recorded. When will the video be made? I don't know
I was just thinking of this concept of everything being a Marauder, and I guess the lord listened and made you do this
Oh trust me, god couldn't make me do this because god is all good lmao
@@Raitro_ what if this is punishment for a sin lmfao
@@lunarsouls4952 then lucifer would do it lol
The patience and joy this guy has playing one of the most stressful game mods ever is something I want to achieve

Step 2: Make Video
I honestly love the idea of the marauder, and I honestly didn’t think that the marauder was too hard of an enemy, also, if you use the super shotty and the ballista it barely takes time at all to kill
and?
Until he dashes into you 500 times and spams you with his shotgun even when you are specifically trying to run away from him
Marauders worked well in the game when you only had one or two at a time. More than that and it starts getting hectic
@@Condred truee. These fuckers like to block my shots whenever i try to kill other demons beside them
13:58 "Help, step marauder. I am stuck"
Eternal players dont watch that shit
@@thunderred5263 Finally a place, left unpolluted
I mean the slayer is a step brother in the sentinels
the most accurate interpretation of the fun zone yet. ggs strmr
8:37 also pretty sure that's an extra life warp
game teleports you back to the last place you were on the floor when you died after misinterpreting the definition for "the last place you were on the floor", usually from a messed up mantle
alright, but why did it misinterpret my last place quartholomew? Plz game, make sens
@@Raitro_ i wanna say its because of a weird mantle, but you already know how tangled the spaghetti code of this game really is so idk for sure lol
i thought it was a solar particle, damn, thats pretty cool
So you’re telling me DE is a souls game because apparently the stable ground concept exists here as well
I was fighting a maurauder when he turned green but a zombie hit him from behind so he activate his shield and shotguned me, also if you are far enough they will start sprinting at you (without their axe) and when they reach you its a guaranteed green light. (Good for cheesing him)

Marauder is a great idea implemented... well it sure was implemented
He's cool, when he works, and most of the time, he's not cool

succinctly said and agreed
Raitro will do everything but play Doom eternal casually again 😂
Man that "cling" sound when you're supposed to parry the Marauder is endlessly satisfying
The arena ending, and this is a total assumption with zero proof whatsoever, but maybe the arena ending trigger requires a certain value to be reached, with light demons being worth the least, and super heavy the most. If the arena is only maruaders, you would reach your quota way faster than normal. Once again, total assumption, no proof.
Unless that's a feature the Mod added, that's not how it works in the base game. So I don't really think that's the case.
But neat theory
You have a little Doom Eternal in your Marauder gameplay
17:26 Jesus man, the Marauder was stuck and couldn't get out, so he just hung himself to get out...
11:30 BRO GOT THE MARAUDER FOUNTAN😭🙏
I’m convinced that people who do doom challenges are masochist
Ive seen btd6 videos with doom eternal music. But a doom eternal video with btd6 music? Its pretty fitting surprisingly.
God bless
I was not expecting a clip of dad playing Eternal at the start. Funny video man! very entertaning seeing a mix of speedrun strats and goofing around with a messy mod
17:22 bro really said “im sick of your ballista cringe I’m hanging myself”😂
Possibly for the arenas ending randomly, it could be that the remaining marauders are coded as zombies which will just die of cringe sometimes when you kill the last demon in the arena. For example the doom hunter fight spawns zombies as well as imps and soldiers, so maybe after you killed DH you just had to kill the non zombie marauders and then the others despawned.
This is what UndertheMayo would consider a "well balanced" mod
18:42 bro was too friendly to fight lol
Just imagine a mod where everything is a archville and they only summon tyrants marauders and other archvilles
Was just watching in the background and I did NOT expect the Bloons TD6 boss music to appear at 3:44

I read the title of this video and immediately went "this can only go so well"
Does this mean….
THE ONLY THING THEY FEAR IS YOU WILL PLAY THE WHOLE TIME??????????????????
This mod is the only time being surrounded by beefcakes and their dogs is a bad time
as both an ultrakill AND Doom fan the urge to parry does not go away in doom I have died so many times trying to parry when that doesn't exist. Why am I commenting this here? IDK
Every game needs a parry mechanic, I concur
Shield Dash with mini gun is closest to parry.
My favorite way to kill Marauders is just bump into them with the shield haha
I love the human trait of making hard things even harder for the fun of it. It also shows humans like hard tasks but we also have to thoroughly enjoy it otherwise we hate it.
Wait, y’all think the marauders is the toughest enemy all you need to beat them is speed and reaction time
I actually like how the marauders slow the game down a bit. You have to decide between fighting the demons around him, giving him your full attention, or risking both. He's also one of the most agile demons in the game, so I don't find it hard to separate him from the rest of the group. Due to his difficulty and status among fans, taking one down quickly is just plain satisfying man!
Marauders aren't that hard. I just think they slow the game down when i have to kill them in a such a specific way.
Fr I just quick swap from super shotgun to balista it’s so easy
DooM Eternal, but the Maykrs were smart:
You should try to make a mod that makes every demon a marauder or maykr drone and one respawning zombie so the game doesn't crash. That would be fun.
i'm not a mod maker lmao. Only was able to get it to work this well because of some modder's program
I keep thinking he’s saying g spot not cheese spot 😭😭
Doom but all enemies are archives
Playing the Randomizer mod on the first levels will make you rethink your life choices.
I enjoy the usage of “Texan piñatas”
Funny ass hell
those marauders at the beginning of cultist base really said "were coming for you slay-ahhhhhh"
Every demon is an archvile that spawns another archvile that spawns another archvile?
oh no
This is what Hugo Martin meant by being in the fun zone
lore accurate doom guy would eat through all these mauraders for breakfest, lunch, and dinner
On my first play through, I was terrified of the marauder but now I’m replaying it, I found out that you just need to sheet them and they get stunned
3:45 never thought doom would sound good with btd6 music but u learn something new everyday
Bryi0 and Zero Master: Hmmm... More mortally-challenged.
I can't believe I missed this strim :( at least you're a chad content creator and I can get the cliff notes! Crazy challenge.... per usual LMAO
"Demons are actually Texan Pinatas." As someone from Texas, I died so hard here, bless you!
"Doom but every enemy is a Marauder"
Doom Slayer: Then it's a fair fight.
I never thought that the Hermitcraft S6 zombie Cleo line "welcome to hell" would ever apply outside the Hermitcraft S6 civil war
Am i the only person who genuinely had a ton of fun in battlemode?
yes
Nah I played it with a friend of mine and duoed up as Archvile and Marauder and it was really fun for a few nights. We got tired of it pretty quick but it was good for a while.
Finally, a new Video
The marauder being the hardest demon in the game while also being pretty easy just shows how strong the Doom Slayer.
each time you shoot the marauder, each bullet that hits him spawns another marauder with half of the health of the original
I have the skill of a game journalist yet I still love DOOM and I love playing it
6:18 always remember, punching is always faster than reloading.
I've been playing so much ultrakill that when i saw the green flash my internal instinct was that the best course of action was to melee parry
I saw a guy demolish 20 AND 30 Marauders on Ultra Nightmare. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He was a quick swapping juggernaut.
Someone should create a mod that replaces every demon with a marauder but the replaced demons powers are infused into the marauder whilst the marauder still keeps it's own powers
The summoning salt part had me dead
The armored baron, Tyrant/Cyber Demon, and Archevile are harder. Except when there's a screacher there. That platform in TAG 2 pissed me off so much. I kinda love the Marauder, though. I hate him. But I love him.
Every enemy is an archville that only spawns archvilles.
Lore accurate Doom Slayer would rip and tear those marauders left and right
But it isn't lore accurate here, which is why your skill is what matters
The most extreme version of red light green light since squid game
The Marauder isn't difficult, he is just SO annoying
DSP's worst nightmare
Mod the game so every single demon is a demon trooper
Maybe it's just that the marauder is supposed to be super easy on "hurt me plenty", but it's always seemed pretty easy to me. Just get the ballista and super shotgun, and make sure to dodge and time it right.
Your unicorn doom?!

3:40 im pretty sure its a bloons song
marauders are so easy to beat (on easy difficulty) but i still love them
did not expect getting blasted with btd6 music
Appreciate the use of PVZ music.👍
18:50 is the Siberian mayhem song, i think
Yes I notice this too. Its from Siberiade (level 3)
Marauder is the Dark Souls of Doom.
Speaking of marauders I once had a glitch happen where the marauder I was fighting turned FRIENDLY????
He recognized the slayer as his true king
I play on switch and never saw that the mars has holes in it at the beninging. It has so low graphics on switch
This at 11:30 gave serious Dying Light vibes lmfao
6:03 Wowee, I did not know any of these things. I was wondering why all these videos had such fast switching... Jeez, this is going to revolutionize my gameplay.
Also, 15:00, that Maurader made a very quizzical noise.
Next challenge: Kaiser campaign, but every demon is a Marauder.
I believe you teleported through the wall due to the extra life, practically probably giving a new sprite somewhere else. I'm no tech or software genius though
So the only way to complete is cheese and avoid areas? haha
How else would you do it? Haha
It's irritating lol... I don't hate the marauder because it's difficult to beat. I hate the marauder because it was coded wrong! It's an amazing enemy that was implemented wrong! 😫😫
They aren't hard. I just hate that i have to stop and drop everything i'm doing just to kill them.
I actually love marauders. They’re my second favorite enemy in the game.
The bulldog named cupcake be like 29:25
Thats like a Hunk mode in Resident Evil 2 :D
Traffic lights just hit different tbh

How game journalists see doom eternal:
