I used to think the Homunculus was hardest ... then I thought the Hellion was the hardest ... but after playing the Merc set (again) recently I changed my mind. The Merc Level 7 Boss is a killer.

This is a challenging question even for myself! My top 3 would be Homunculous, Hellion and the mini-boss. I can fly around the Homunculous, I save all of my big missiles untill I get to the second phase of the Hellion, and I can get behind the Mini-Boss Boss. Ugg they are all equilly difficult in my book! I'll go with Hellion because you can never get behind it without ducking in to tunnels (it ends up turning around right quick as soon as you make a noise) and because of its laser that can shoot through walls and hit you no matter what eventhough the boss cannot see you.

Hellion. I can beat the other two on Ace without dying, but I haven't been able to do that against the Hellion. That thing is TOUGH!!

I'm torn, too. I probably shouldn't vote anyway, as...admittedly...I've never gotten far enough to battle the Hellion...without cheats, at least....

Merc level 7 boss, most definitely. With a few weapons, I can pretty much take out the Hellion with no problems, but the Merc final boss just kept on killing me and killing me.
That said, it's been such a long time since I've played... I know the only time I've been through the D3 campaign is on trainee, so I'm not really sure. I'm more of a D1 and D2 guy, myself.

I, for one, hope this is
much, much
more than a reconnaissance mission.

Yeah, Mercenary's great. I think it really put the D3 fusion engine to adequate use in that mission set.
Everybody says the Merc lvl 7 boss is hard, so I must not be doing it right. I've played that level set again and again, and I've always downed the bot in under a minute, usually without ever taking a shot.
It's really pretty simple. Level's said and done the moment you beat the boss, so there's no need to conserve weaponry. I just select my most powerful missile in my arsenal beforehand, and then the moment I can start shooting, hold down the missile-fire button until he's dead. Works everytime for me.

It must be my missile conserving instinct then.
