In the climactic battle of the war, Bhima engaged Duryodhana in a mace duel. Duryodhana had gone and hid under a lake. The Pandavas brothers and Krishna thus went to the lake and taunted Duryodhana off his refuge. Yudhishthira proposed a final challenge to Duryodhana, to a battle against any of the Pandavas under any weapon of Duryodhana's desire. Yudhishthira also promised Duryodhana that should he win, he would reign as the next King of Hastinapura. After given the option to choose the opponent, Duryodhana chose Bhima as his opponent.
