The Enhanced Ahzrak is one of the main story bosses you will face during Stage 21 of Doom The Dark Ages. While he is not as agile as some of the enemies you will have faced until this stage, his hits are strong, and he can take you down easily, depending on the difficulty setting you have chosen.

During Stage 21, Prince Ahzrak will challenge the Slayer, beginning this boss fight against him. Here are a few steps that you can follow to defeat Enhanced Ahzrak in Doom The Dark Ages:

Phase 1

• Ahzrak will swing his spear at you, marked by a blue glow. You can parry these attacks using your shield.
• Watch out for the attack where Ahzrak will stomp the ground. Move away when he does this, otherwise, you will take damage from a Spike protruding from the ground.
• Getting a few shots with your mace/weapons will leave him stunned, marked by a glowing purple circle.
• He will perform a five-hit melee combo that you can parry. Once you successfully avoid the hits, attack him as soon as a golden circle appears around him.
• Sometimes, using the shotgun can work against you due to its limited range. So make sure to have ammo for one of your long-ranged weapons, as parrying Ahzrak's attacks will push you back, giving you very little time to counterattack and stun him.

Phase 2

Phase 2 of the fight will be very similar to the first phase. The only difference is that Ahzrak's attacks will hit you harder. There will also be pillars all around the arena that you can destroy by throwing your shield. If you are low, these will drop various resources such as Health and Armor Packs.

Phase 3

The Third Phase will start with Ahzrak throwing his clones at you. You can easily parry them with your shield.

• After the clones are depleted, Enhanced Ahzrak will fly in and start throwing spikes in your direction. You can parry the blue ones to avoid damage.
• Similar to Phase 2, there will be pillars that you can destroy by throwing your shield.
• Parry the blue attacks and use your Mace to replenish your resources during the fight.

After you deplete his HP bar, Enhanced Ahzrak in Doom The Dark Ages will be defeated, and the Slayer will come out on top.
