Generation

Baphomet is one of the five demon lords whose lair can appear as the first level of the Abyss.

He is generated within the spectator booth of the arena structure that sits in the center of his level.

Strategy

Baphomet is a melee specialist, but isn't particularly threatening to an ascension-ready character. His location in the arena makes him difficult to avoid for those trying to slip past without a fight.

Encyclopedia entry

This hulking, manlike brute stands 20 feet tall. His muscular
frame is covered in thick, matted black hair. His head is that
of a fiendish bull, and his great horns are stained in the
lifeblood of countless victims.
