I just did this one today. I tried it over and over again, and kept
getting wasted very quickly. I eventually made myself invulnerable to
get through this one spot. If you want to keep trying, there is a room
off to the right (The level is all of 2 main areas). Look on your map
when you die before restarting to see it. In there are the big red eye
balls (lots of them), but in the middle is a blue orb. Might be your
best chance to recharge to try and stay alive. Also are more rockets,
and medical packs. You might even be able to get the Baron's to attack
the eyes if your lucky.

This isn't level 6, it's actually level 9, the secret level.

There are only 4 barons, I believe, but that's enough!  Wait until you 
see the 15 or so cacodemons in the next room.

I was lucky enough to have over 300 energy cells for my plasma rifle.  
That was enough to take out the 4 barons of hell.  THEN you get to the 
next room where you have to deal with about 15 cacodemons at once.  I was 
able to pick them off two or three at a time at first, then the rest as a 
large wall coming at me.  Took every other piece of ammo I had other than 
shotgun shells.  Had to use the shotgun to finish them off (the automatic 
weapons work best against the cacodemons since they are kept from 
shooting at you while being hit at full auto).  You could run into the 
room WITH the cacodemons to pick up the weapons and soul-sphere that are 
in there.  That's about your only chance if you're really low on ammo and 
health.

I've found the way to get through this is to KEEP MOVING.  Just go like hell
straight into the other room, KEEP MOVING picking up what you can, keep
dodging fireballs, and don't let the cacodemons corner you against the walls.
Get cornered, and you're toast.  Keep stalling until there's at least 2 or
3 Barons in there with you too and the doorway is clear, then run like hell
for the first room, get out of sight FAST, and wait until all the noise in
the other room stops.  You'll probably get a Baron, maybe two, and a couple
of cacodemons will trickle through into your room that you'll have to deal
with, but by the time they get done killing each other, you shouldn't have
to kill more than 2 barons and 5-6 cacodemons yourself.

BAH! HUMBUG!! WIMPY!!!
 No really... If you have these kind of problems, why don't you play an 
easier level?
