A quick example of a fight between a Hell Knight and a Baron of Hell in Doom 64. Here a Baron is injured by a Hell Knight's fireball, starting a fight to the death.
In the original PC Doom II game, fireballs from Barons and Hell Knights could not affect either monster (but melee attacks are universally damaging). When porting the game to PlayStation 1, a change in the code allowed each monster's fireball to injure the other monster type, giving rise to potential fights between them. That same basic change later appeared in Doom 64.
Notes on the making of this video: This was made on map 11, Terror Core. Although it's already pretty easy to get this fight to occur here, a few enemies were removed from the area ahead of time in order to better isolate the encounter.
Baron vs Hell Knight combat can occur elsewhere in the game, such as the earlier level Final Outpost; but this level was chosen in order to quickly get to the action and have an up-close view.
