Baron in reveal trailer of the Cosmic Realm.

The cosmic baron is an enemy in Doom: The Dark Ages. A brute creature with two blades and psionic abilities, which is one of the results of an unholy union between Hell and the Cosmic Realm.

Tactical analysis

The cosmic baron will immediately try to close the distance, sometimes by diving in with a parryable ground smash attack. Once within melee range, it will attack with three swipes of its bladed arms. Each swipe must be parried to force it to falter. The cosmic baron will occasionally attack from range with psionic purple projectiles. The first pattern is a spread of low rings, one of which can be parried. The other is a wide wall with a parryable center, demanding a player to shift its position to send the attack back at the cosmic baron.

Lore

The cosmic baron is a monster constructed and designed by the eldritch techno-sorcerers of the Cosmic Realm. Forbidden gene-splicing techniques were used in its creation, allowing it to mirror the form of the barons of Hell while serving as a monument to the unholy alliance between Hell and the Cosmic Realm.

Pre-release

This creature first became known in one of the frames of the Xbox developer deep-dive, where the whiteboard was leaked with a list of monster names, which includes the cosmic baron.
