You will have to face off against 5 separate waves of his elite forces

  1. The first group is a small group consisting of 1 fallen shaman and some of his little fallen minions around. He will resurrect them if you don’t kill the shaman quick enough.
  2. The second group is full of Ice elemental skeletal mages and the Unholy Mages from act 2 (the Anubis looking guys)
  3. The third group is Bartuc and his council members (they cast hydras and lightning at you)
  4. The fourth group consists of 10 venom lords
  5. The last group consists of Baal’s minions exclusively a new enemy only found in the 5th wave of the throne of destruction.

Notable things about Baal boss fight

  • He can shoot out a large cone of destruction that will instantly drain all your mana.
  • He can stomp and shoot out a Blue V shape that causes constant knockback if you’re hit by it.
  • He can summon tentacles to fight for him hitting you while you run around
  • He can shoot out a large AoE attack that damages everything in its path.
  • He can duplicate himself by making a clone Baal
    • this can easily be deterred if you look at their names. The REAL Baal will have Demon directly below the B in his name where the clone will have Demon to the right of the B in his name. You could also just keep an eye on him when he splits and you’ll be able to tell. He usually casts his clone away from his position before he teleports to confuse you.

You have completed act 5 and beat the game. Congratulations!
