BJ Blazkowicz’s story isn’t just about fighting soldiers—it’s about standing against the monsters that tyrants create. Across the Wolfenstein series, BJ faces enemies designed to break the mind as much as the body: creatures born of twisted science, mechanical abominations, and perversions of human nature. Facing them isn’t just a battle—it’s a confrontation with terror itself. These foes aren’t just dangerous. They are relentless reminders of what happens when evil goes unchecked. Here is the ten most terrifying enemies BJ Blazkowicz has ever faced—and somehow conquered.
#10: Supersoldaten (Super Soldiers)
First appearing in Wolfenstein: The New Order, the Supersoldaten are cybernetic monsters designed to be the ultimate Nazi warriors. Massive, armored, and brutally strong, these enemies aren’t just physically imposing—they’re psychologically terrifying. Their faces—half-machine, half-human—are frozen in expressions of agony and rage, hinting at the human beings they once were.
When BJ first encounters them, it’s a shock. Bullets bounce off their armor. They charge like unstoppable tanks, smashing through cover and shrugging off damage that would fall an entire squad. Players have to use strategy, heavy weapons, and sheer mobility to survive encounters with even one Supersoldat. Fun behind-the-scenes detail: developers intentionally designed them to be “walking fears”—taking the idea of human war machines to its most grotesque extreme. Fighting them isn’t just survival. It’s a reminder that BJ’s enemies will twist anything—including humanity itself—to achieve domination.
#9: Panzerhunds
Imagine a tank crossed with a monstrous dog, and you have the Panzerhund. First introduced in The New Order, these terrifying mechanical beasts are one of the most horrifying threats BJ ever faces. Covered in flame-resistant armor and outfitted with jet-powered legs, Panzerhunds don’t just charge at you—they hunt you.
The sheer speed and ferocity of a Panzerhund make it unforgettable. Hearing its mechanical roar echo down a corridor is an instant adrenaline spike. One wrong move, one mistimed dodge, and you’re a smear on the concrete.
In lore, Panzerhunds were developed to patrol and oppress civilians—designed not just to kill, but to terrorize. Their grotesque design was inspired by both hunting dogs and medieval torture devices, making them both a technological marvel and a waking nightmare. Every encounter with a Panzerhund feels like a horror movie chase scene—and BJ’s brutal takedowns of them feel like tiny, hard-earned victories against pure engineered terror.
#8: London Monitor
The London Monitor isn’t just a boss fight—it’s a symbol of the Nazi regime’s godlike hubris. A colossal, spider-like robot patrolling the ruins of London, the Monitor towers over the battlefield, raining destruction from cannons, lasers, and missile batteries. Fighting it feels less like a traditional boss fight and more like trying to survive a natural disaster.
The terror of the London Monitor isn’t just its size—it’s the way it watches. Its giant, scanning eye feels almost sentient, sweeping the battlefield and instantly firing death beams at anything it detects.
Players have to dodge, hide, and look for tiny vulnerabilities in its armor, all while feeling completely insignificant next to its towering bulk. Developers wanted the London Monitor to embody the terrifying scale of Nazi conquest—the idea that resistance wasn’t just dangerous. It was hopeless. Surviving the London Monitor is a test of strategy, reflexes, and pure nerve.
#7: Deathshead’s UberSoldaten
General Wilhelm “Deathshead” Strasse, Wolfenstein’s chief mad scientist, perfected the art of horror with his UberSoldaten. These monstrous creations are humans forcibly grafted into mechanical exosuits, robbed of free will and weaponized into brutal killing machines. The terror here is twofold: their sheer battlefield prowess—and the horrific idea that these soldiers were once men.
Facing an UberSoldat is an absolute nightmare. They sprint at BJ with terrifying speed, soak up entire clips of ammunition, and attack with mechanical claws, flamethrowers, and miniguns. Their distorted, metallic roars and the visible pain on their twisted faces make it clear that they are prisoners in their own bodies.
In The New Order, when BJ first encounters the UberSoldaten deep within Deathshead’s fortress, the full horror of Nazi experimentation becomes unavoidable. Developers at MachineGames based the UberSoldaten on early World War II experiments into human-machine interfaces, deliberately pushing the concept into grotesque horror. Killing them isn’t just a tactical necessity—it’s an act of mercy. But that doesn’t make the fight any less brutal.
#6: Zitadelle (Wolfenstein: Youngblood)
Though Youngblood shifts the focus to BJ’s daughters, one of the most terrifying enemies in that game is something their father would have been proud (and horrified) to fight: the Zitadelle. Towering over most other enemies, this massive mechanical juggernaut is armed with heavy cannons, flamethrowers, and nearly impenetrable armor.
The Zitadelle’s design alone is enough to cause panic. Covered in skull-like motifs, bristling with weaponry, it looks less like a machine and more like a walking death sentence. Fighting it demands constant movement, perfect dodging, and pinpoint accuracy—standing still for even a second often means getting obliterated.
Interestingly, lore hints that Zitadelles were part of an experimental project to build “city destroyers,” capable of leveling urban centers singlehandedly. Their presence in Youngblood is a chilling reminder that even as the Nazi regime’s grip weakens, the horrors they engineered endure. If BJ had faced Zitadelles directly, there’s no doubt he would have treated them with the same brutal efficiency he treated every nightmare before—but the sheer terror they inspire speaks volumes.
#5: Giant Super Soldier (Wolfenstein: The Old Blood)
One of the standout terrors in The Old Blood is the Giant Super Soldier, a massive, hulking behemoth who represents the terrifying escalation of Deathshead’s experiments. This towering monster combines brute force, raw mechanical augmentation, and horrifying resilience into a single, terrifying enemy.
When BJ confronts the Giant Super Soldier deep within Castle Wolfenstein, the odds seem almost comical. Bullets barely slow him down. Grenades bounce off his armored hide. He can kill players in seconds with crushing melee strikes or devastating heavy weaponry. The confined, medieval spaces of Castle Wolfenstein only add to the suffocating fear—there’s nowhere to run when this monstrosity corners you.
Developer notes reveal that the Giant Super Soldier was inspired by classic movie monsters like Frankenstein’s Creature—but turbocharged through a dystopian sci-fi lens. Facing the Giant Super Soldier is a pure survival horror experience: no clever tricks, no quick kills. Just a desperate, brutal brawl against a foe that feels more nightmare than reality.
#4: Adolf Hitler (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus)
Facing Adolf Hitler in The New Colossus is terrifying for entirely different reasons. In this universe, Hitler is still alive—old, diseased, paranoid, and utterly deranged. Yet despite his frailty, the atmosphere around him is one of overwhelming tension and horror.
Meeting him during the audition scene on Venus is one of the most nerve-wracking moments in the series. Hitler is erratic joking one moment, committing casual murder the next. He brutalizes his staff, humiliates everyone in the room, and teeters constantly on the edge of violence.
Players realize immediately: any wrong move could mean instant death. The terror here isn’t from raw firepower—it’s from helplessness. In lore and behind-the-scenes commentary, developers said they wanted this scene to show “the horror of unchecked, rotting evil”—a decaying dictator who still holds terrifying, absolute power. Surviving this encounter is psychological horror at its finest.
#3: The Panzermörder (Wolfenstein: The Old Blood)
The final boss of The Old Blood is not just terrifying—it’s legendary. The Panzermörder (“Armor Killer”) is an undead, mechanized nightmare born from ancient occult experiments and Nazi super-science. Towering, shrieking, and fueled by dark magic, the Panzermörder combines the worst elements of fantasy horror and industrial brutality.
Its attacks are relentless: flaming blasts, earth-shaking charges, devastating melee strikes. The arena where BJ faces it is cramped, dark, and filled with environmental hazards. Survival demands perfect movement, quick thinking, and nerves of steel.
Lore reveals that the Nazis attempted to tap into ancient supernatural forces to create the ultimate weapon—and with the Panzermörder, they succeeded in creating something that even they couldn’t fully control. The creature’s horrifying shrieks, stitched-together mechanical body, and unstoppable aggression make it one of the most unforgettable (and terrifying) foes BJ has ever faced.
#2: Mecha-Deathshead (Wolfenstein: The New Order)
When Deathshead reveals his final weapon at the climax of The New Order, it’s nothing short of nightmare fuel. Encased in a massive battle mech powered by the suffering bodies of his own soldiers, Deathshead transforms into a horror show of mechanical devastation.
Fighting Mecha-Deathshead is pure chaos: missiles, lasers, fire, shockwaves—all while BJ is bleeding and barely holding it together.
The terror comes not just from the mech’s sheer firepower, but from what it represents. Deathshead’s complete dehumanization—his willingness to turn even his followers into meat for his machines—is the logical endpoint of the Nazi regime’s evil. Developer commentary stated they wanted the final fight to feel like “facing the embodiment of cruelty itself,” and it succeeds. Defeating Mecha-Deathshead isn’t just victory. It’s exorcism.
#1: The Übercommanders
The Übercommanders represent the terrifying future the Nazis envisioned: enhanced officers given near-limitless resources to hunt down and crush resistance cells worldwide. Each Übercommander fight is a miniature war, with overwhelming enemy support, brutal tactics, and near-impossible odds stacked against BJ.
These aren’t just stronger enemies. They’re symbols of what could have happened if BJ hadn’t fought back—an eternal future of iron-fisted oppression. Every kill feels personal.
Facing an Übercommander means facing an entire ideology refined into brutality. Every firefight is savage. Every death hard-earned. Lore suggests that Übercommanders were intended to rule the world’s remaining nations after complete Nazi victory, making them not just enemies, but representations of an even darker future.
Beating them isn’t just survival—it’s reclaiming hope.
BJ Blazkowicz has fought enemies that go beyond the battlefield. He’s faced monstrosities born of cruelty, madness, and scientific perversion—and through sheer will, he conquered them all. Each terrifying encounter wasn’t just a fight for survival. It was a fight for the soul of humanity itself. And that’s why BJ remains one of gaming’s greatest heroes: because even when hell itself stood against him, he didn’t flinch.
