How many Marauders are in the entire game?

[r3np]

I just killed one and thought that it's one boss only, but now from what I've read it seems that there will be more of them? How many are there in the mandatory parts of the game? (i.e. not including slayer gates etc.)

[Bag_of_BOnes]

At least 3 minimum ( ? ) with the usual enemies simultaneously ...good luck and God speed.

On the bright side you'll be much stronger at each encounter - I won't spoil anything.

They aren't very hard to deal with when using Super Shotgun + Ballista.

When his eyes turn green you hit hem with Super Shotgun, then you follow up with an Ballista shot.

That shouldn't take longer then 3 times before he's down.

Eh theres a few more mandatory encounters. I'd wager a max of 5, with some of those being part of waves of already existing demons. Took me a bit but he's a breeze once you use the Super Shotgun and Ballista against him. Takes about 10 shots total and you can squeeze in about two of those with the Super Shotgun

In regular game, excluding boss fight, there are like 3 in the main game, if you want to include slayer gates and secret encounter and as boss fight, that would be 6.
With master levels, there are like 2 more to add.

I believe I faced five in all, from that first one in the Hayden facility to the last one in mission 11... I don't think there were any in 12 or 13. The one's after the Hayden episode seemed easier, at least to me... I only used the SSG till they were stunned then did a glory kill on them. Not sure why people feared them so much. Oh, yes, just remembered there is one harder one that surprised you in (mission 10?) when you jump into a smaller room and have very little room to strafe... dang wish I could remember which mission now. That one was harder than even the first encounter only because you didn't have a lot of room to move nor a lot of mobs to get ammo or armor, etc. But still I got it done without dying. Just keep moving and keep out of that axe throw and the don't hit the shield or he spawns a sidekick dog (if he does kill it fast!).

Yeah I agree here, I think atleast 5, including that slayer gate. Atleast on NM. Toward the end I swear you were getting a marauder in every other arena.

[Shizofrend]

a dozen or so i think

[Pigeons555]

Off the top of my head and in no particular order (not counting Slayer Gates and Secret Encounters)

1- End of Arc Complex (the cutscene one)
2- Beginning of Taras Nabad as you open the big doors
3- Icon of Sin in that square arena
4- Icon of Sin in that I don't know, cafe-looking area
5- Nekravol after the crushy stuff. Paired with a Whiplash.

I feel like there are maybe 1-2 more, but there are at least 5 Marauders total in the campaign.

Don't forget Archviles can spawn Marauders (and buff them)

10 Marauders + 1 secret encounter

if you don't like Marauders, skip the "secret encounter" one

I would have to qualify that statement. It usually can't be done in 10 seconds with ease, but sometimes can because it feels like there's a bit of luck involved.

I think the secret encounter in Taras Nabad is the part where I started to understand how to take them down easier. It was the worst secret encounter in the game, but it made encounters with Marauders less annoying afterwards.

• Arc Complex
• Taras Nabad entrance
• Taras Nabad after the fallen titan
• Nekroval door puzzle lower lift
• Is there one in Urdak? I thought there was
• Second encounter in Icon of Sin
• Later encounter in Icon of Sin

At least 6 that you have to fight through.

[Rack]

arc 1
taras 2
nekroval 1
urdak 1
sin 2
secret encounter 1
slayer gate 1

Yes, when you get to one of the islands, when you clear up, door opens and comes marauder.
I think it's right before you either put VEGA into their PCwhatever thing or when Hayden starts talking how you can go back to Earth and THE STRONKER ICON OF EARTH IS ON SIN THE LONKER IT GETZ!

Pretty sure I encountered more than 3 in my NM run
