This boss battle is so well-made. Like the rest of Hexen 2's boss battles, it requires the player use their items often and strategically. For this battle you pretty much need the Boots Of Speed and Discs Of Repulsion to avoid his homing projectiles. Not to mention using a Krater Of Might (or two) to refill your mana.

Damn, Heretic & Hexen bosses are just so much better than Doom's bosses. This guy (War from Hexen 2) is a prime example. It takes some actual strategy (plus reflexes) to defeat him. I could only manage it by using boots of speed, discs of repulsion, and multiple kraters of might. Because he shoots out a bunch of homing projectiles that are so fast ad home so hard that if you slip up for even a second you're fucked. You need to stay in a constant circlestrafe (ideally using the boots), shooting him with your most powerful weapon, and using discs of repulsion to bounce his projectiles back at him. Based Raven once again.
