=== Baron Samedi: Positions after spawning ===
=== Baron Samedi: Positions after spawning ===
As you've probably noticed, the baron doesn't always stay in the middle of his explosion (2nd spawn), but rather a bit to the right, allowing us to shoot him from an optimal position far away. However, this isn't always the case, sometimes he's on the left side, and sometimes he doesn't move at all. So what determines his position? The answer is simple and probably already known by many poeple:

If you've ever walked up to the baron shortly after him spawning, you'll notice that he constantly tries to face Bond. Exactly like Valentin/Miskin does. So it's actually possible to Val-strafe him around for a few seconds before his evil laugh.

Since he spawns facing the opposite direction of where Bond usually is on wr runs, he needs to walk around in a half-circle to face Bond. And this brings him either to the left or the right. So him being to the left or the right simply depends on if Bond is to the Baron's left or right, since he uses the shortest path he can find to face Bond.
