Agadon the Hunter, a brand-new enemy replacing the Marauder, is no mere upgrade. This unique foe blends the traits of several bosses, boasting the ability to dodge, evade attacks, and even deflect the Doom Slayer's projectiles. His diverse combo attacks will demand mastery of the sawtooth shield, a mechanic reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice—a game that heavily influenced the developers. The Agadon encounter serves as the ultimate test, a final exam showcasing all the skills honed throughout the game.
