Given the fact that they dont kill him in his castle(or whatever he has), where his items are, he carries only what he wishes to battle with. Makes sense?
Off the top of my head, high level scrolls. If the PCs attack him, don't hold back. Mages disjunction would be a good idea. Maybe time stop followed by some power up scrolls to level the playing field would also be appropriate. It's your choice really. It depends mostly on how your players deal with threats. Baphomet isn't stupid, so lay the smack down.

I second mage's disjunction.
As a demon lord in his own realm, Baphomet can cast mythic augmented time stop with a duration of 27 hours. I highly recommend taking full advantage of that.
Note that he can also cast unhallow, which you can then tie a spell effect to with certain conditions, say silence for all non-worshipers of Baphomet.
As to gear, I'd highly recommend giving him armor with heavy fortification on it.
If you want to be really, really evil then I'd suggest the following combination:
Scroll of Deathless
Juggernaut's Pauldrons
Ring of Ferocious Action
If you want to power him up even more you can wear him armor(a corrupted version of celestial armor), give him headband and belt for all 6 attributes but I personally think that he wouldnt wear them. He surely has them, but he doesnt want to wear them. Why would he? Is he not intelligent enough? Not enough charismatic? Maybe he thinks he lacks strength? I dont think so. He believes he doesnt need help.
Also, why give the players loot from him? Killing a demon lord and returning his dead body, first to Iomedae and second to the queen isnt a good reward? They just did the unthinkable, why spoil it with mere mortal magical items?
Exploit his Scroll Use ability to buff the hell out of him(pun intended) and make him fight for his pride. I personally used the following scrolls:
-Aroden's spell bane for dispel magic, greater dispel magic, glitterdust, faerie fire, mage's disjunction
-Greater Invisibility
-Mindblank
-Silence
-Contingency + Heal(maybe x2)
-Heroic invocation
and anything else you wish for him

I would laugh hilariously when a glitterdust-immune, faerie fire-immune greater invisible enemy clearly determined to stay invisible at all costs is shut down by a high level mythic archmage clapping two nonmagical chalkboard erasers together.
My players freaking would do that. Haha.
