You can use pretty much any weapon on the Khan Maykr, I thought? I used Lock-on mod rockets and the Ballista, but I assume you can use precision bolt as well.

Oh, here's part two. What will come next?

Nah mate, you're just a terrible player who needs to stop raging on a forum & get good.

I hated this boss at first. Make sure you kill those drones that are floating around, head shot them for a LOT of ammo. Use the rocket launcher lock on to fire at the boss, then when it is dazed, use the grapple hook from the double barrel to punch it in the face. You can hide underneath the platform away from the burning floor. There is a specific spot you have to stand. Make sure you headshot those drones though, they give out a lot of ammo.

i agree a little i didnt enjoy khan maykr that much, but it could be much worse

From my experience (and I've played this battle 4 times), the precision bolt is by far the best weapon to hit the Khan. The Ballista is also good. So, basically, you need weapons that can hit with accuracy from long distances. Of course, you will need the super shotgun, but that should be obvious if you have ever made any progress in that battle. Btw, Doom Eternal indeed forces you to use certain weapons on most enemies, if you want to kill them optimally or as quick as possible. However, this is explained every time you acquire a weapon or find the new monster. In the codex, you find all information about this. I can't understand how you got to this battle without realizing that Doom Eternal actually forces or highly encourages you to use specific weapons with specific enemies.

Try Lock-On and/or Micromissiles, you don’t even need to aim.

I disagree pretty hard with this statement.

Forces & encourages are very different, the game certainly encourages things but never forces, there's multipul ways of killing demons in cool & fast ways all while going fast.

The game doesn’t even encourage you to use specific weapons for many monsters. All fodder except for shield guys, tyrants, arch-viles, whiplashes etc.

Well the good news is the K M will be easier the next time you fight. The bad news is, if you think she was tuff, what are you gonna do later when you run into the IoS.

Remember getting there is half the fun. If it was easy girls would play. The hard is what makes it great. Now go smoke some demons and come back and brag about it.

[UNBREAKABLE]

The only thing really forced about the KM fight is punching her like an anime character between stages - which actually feels badass if anything.

Also not as widely known - using the crucible on her will instantly remove 1 full phase of her health - so you have quite a variety of options.

[prosonicscool2]

Aren't you the same guy who talked about how bad The Icon of Sin was? You know that you can say both in one discussion right?

[harbinger]

That's why I ALSO used the word "encourages". It doesn't strictly force you in many cases, but, in practice, if you want to play optimally, yes. The quick switch of super shotgun & Ballista are by far the quickest way to kill the Marauder. To kill the Tyrant, the chaingun and rocker launcher are the best. To kill the cacodemon, you have the Ballista and shotgun. To kill the Pain Elemental, the best is the Ballista. Even the codex tells you that certain weapons should be used with certain demons. Doom Eternal was certainly made with this idea in mind, i.e. certain weapons should be used with certain demons. Sure, you can use other weapons, but why? Just to play sub-optimally. I don't see the point of arguing.

killing pinkies by shooting their exposed back with the double barrel isnt fun: there's a reason to play sub-optimally -- that will also somehow work better than playing optimally if you're good enough
