Maledict, the commanding demonic dragon made of the evil spirit of Dr.

The Guardian of Hell, capping off the Best Level Ever, so much that he appeared in the Lost Mission (albeit in a downgraded form).

Resurrection of Evil has the Final Boss addresses the cheesy, anticlimactic Cyberdemon of the base game by having the Engineer Marine fight Maledict directly in a fight that's fitting to be a final boss fight.

Various expansions and re-releases have responded to this issue in different ways: Resurrection of Evil increased the lighting of most levels, the Xbox version of Resurrection attached the light to the pistol so you could attack and illuminate at the same time, the BFG Edition attached the flashlight directly to Doomguy's armor so he can use it alongside other weapons, and The Lost Mission brightened most environments to the point where the flashlight is not usually necessary anyway.

Author's Saving Throw: A major, nearly ubiquitous criticism of the game's initial version was the inconvenient nature of the lighting, with huge portions of the game being basically pitch-black without using the flashlight, which couldn't be used together with a gun and was even taken away from you for a short stretch of time.

And given that BFG Edition made the game easier, the boss himself is arguably even more disappointing than the Cyberdemon. To compensate for this, the developers made his entire body vulnerable to the player's weapons, downgrading him even further.

The final boss of the Lost Mission is the Guardian from the Hell level of original Doom 3 minus the weakness sphere and the seekers to guide it to the player location.
