Hell Knight/Doom (2016)

The Hell Knight is a returning monster that appears in Doom (2016).

Description
The Hell Knight is a towering brute built for combat in the depths of Hell.

Appearance
The hell knight strongly resembles its Doom 3 counterpart, however there are some noticeable changes, The hell knight seems less broad and head design differs in that it has what appears to be a partially exposes skull and lacks any visible eyes.

Combat Characteristics
The hell knight in combat is very aggressive and seems to be a close quarters combat monster, it has several attacks such as a ground pound, uppercut punch and lunge attack.

Tactical Analysis
Hell knights are rather tough but can be quickly dispatched with three or four super shotgun shots and can be insta-killed when using the chainsaw or BFG 9000. Walking backwards while they charge at you is highly effective given the fact they take no effort to dodge shots, preferring to run through them

When the player is killed by one the hell knight punches 3 times with the last punch being the hardest. It also stomps on the player, forcing their vision to immediately cut to black.

Trivia

 * One of the glory kills on the Hell Knight cut from the game consists of punching the head three times, then snapping their neck counter-clockwise.
