Doom Eternal Complete 2 Hour Lore & History of the Ancient Gods Part 1 and 2 - All Codecs & Theories

with the end of the ancient gods part 2 in doom  eternal the story of the doom slayer has come   to an end for now there is a vast  amount of information about the story   creatures plot and other aspects around the doom  universe this video is a two-hour compilation   of the entire lore about do maternal the ancient  gods part 1 and part 2. i have made multiple   videos around the dlc and how the story unfolds  but if you want a long video to get caught up with   everything this video should be what you need  i'm going to leave timestamps down below but   before we begin please leave a like on the video  and thank you for watching now let's get started do maternal is full of lore around the slayer  the makers sentinel people and the demons of hell   there were many things that inspired different  aspects of doom eternal and that's what we're   going to look at for this video as hugo martin  continues his playthrough of doom eternal on   twitch he drops various bits of information  regarding the development of doom eternal   so let's start off with the first thing he  mentioned in the live stream we all know that   the doom slayer is the original doom guy from  doom doom 2 and doom 64. the stories from these   three games are all connected together after  defeating the mother demon in doom 64 he chose   to remain in hell to ensure no demon ever rises  again but he was unaware that the mother demon   had a sister doomguy would then fight her as well  this would take place in the lost levels campaign   the sister mother demon in the lost levels  shared the same abilities as the other one   but in the end the doomguy defeated her as  well no demon could withstand his determination   after the battle doomguy would still remain  in hell the bottom text says this before you   is a path of perpetual torment this line is a  reference to the slayer testaments in doom 2016.   this is what the testament says in the first  age in the first battle when the shadows first   lengthened one stood burned by the embers of  armageddon his soul blistered by the fires of hell   and tainted beyond ascension he chose the path of  perpetual torment the other half of this testament   mentions the doomguy's connection to the sentinel  people it says this in his ravenous hatred   he found no peace and with boiling blood he  scoured the umbral plains seeking vengeance   against the dark lords who had wronged  him he wore the crown of the night   sentinels and those that tasted the bite  of his sword named him the doom slayer   after you defeat the sister mother demon in doom  64 it never says exactly how doom guy escaped   from hell so how did he end up on another world  later on in doom 2016. here's the answer during   an interview with the developers who ported  doom 64 to current gen platforms in 2020   they said the sister of the mother demon you  defeated in the lost levels tries to get rid of   you by sending you away this could mean she opened  a portal to throw you out of hell this is the   closest link we have to how doomguy ended up on  argent de nur he was a stranger in a strange land   during a flashback scene the doomslayer is found  by sentinel guards within the valley just outside   the castle walls he was chained up and brought  to the priests there he would speak these words huge guts hugo martin said this line was  a reference to the comic book when the   doom guy meets the cyber demon he  says this you are huge that means   you have huge guts you can also see that rip  and tear was taken from the comic book as well when doomguy talks about the demons the portal he  went through is also how the demons find their way   to argent denure one question from a fan was  about the gladiator and how they became what   they are now but first let's look at some history  about this massive beast in the years following   the end of the golden age competing factions  of argentineur turned against one another an   insidious influence had infiltrated the sentinel  people corrupting their once sacred traditions   the colosseum once a place of trial by combat  where prisoners of the argenta were tested for   the right to fight in the front lines of their  army is now a place of bloodsport in violation   of sentinel law the priests have encaged a demon  there a merciless executioner that enacts judgment   of its own decree the gladiator wielding an  accursed shield which entombs the tormented soul   of its undying master remains undefeated in  battle infamous for the many lives it has claimed   hugo martin did give us a little backstory to the  demon the design of the gladiator is an homage to   the classic hell nights in the original doom game  when you compare their physical traits you can   see there are similarities between them the last  fan question was regarding the corruption of hell   upon the land of argent de nur and why it does  not look so deformed and evil as other realms that   are absorbed by hell the simple answer to this is  the level of corruption during this phase was not   complete to end the video off i want to bring up a  few points about the so-called wretch the question   is who is the wretch who shall not be named during  the live stream hugo says this we didn't really go   into it the wretch is the one who fashions your  armor originally and i will say that is one that   has been left on the table so far it is the  person who made your armor initially way back   in argent de nour when you're with the sentinels  but didn't really go into who that character was   is he talking about the sentinel armor  because that sounds like it's made by the   people of argentina let's look at the slayer  testament about this here's what it says the   wretch adorned the doomslayer in a mighty armor  wrought in the forges of hell who was the person   that was in hell when a group of sentinels entered  a portal on their last mission with the slayer   they were betrayed by one of their own they became  separated and fought until the very end the codex   says this but of these last remaining night  sentinels only one remained in hell by choice   betrayer of argenta it was commander valen who  relinquished the keys to the elemental subculture   the wraith codex in doom 2016 talks about  when the sentinels were betrayed it says this   the bargain was struck thus for the return of  the betrayer's only son lost on the battlefield   dig grav must be taken to the source of their  power the elemental race led there by the wretched   betrayer so why does the slayer testament say this  the hell walker found the wretch who shall not be   named it seems the dark lord called him the wretch  because the betrayer upgraded the slayer's armor   to make him a bigger threat against the demons  the word ratched and wretch is used for someone   that is very unhappy or unfortunate this really  seems to connect with a velen's situation he lost   his son on the battlefield the demons lied to him  about bringing his son back he betrayed the people   he swore to protect he lost everything so in one  final act against the demons he chose to help the   slayer in the end by upgrading his armor and hell  but which armor was he wearing at the time was it   the sentinel armor that molded into the praetor  suit possibly considering they both have that red   thing in the same area around the chest there's  a lot of clues that point to valen the betrayer   to also being known as the wretch the dark lord  would call him the wretch because he betrayed the   argenta and then he betrayed the demons as well  all of these things is how i see the betrayer   also being the wretch but at this point it's  really just a theory until we get a direct answer   but those are the clues i came up with there are  some fans out there that would think the wretch   is the betrayer but there's another theory out  there if we look at the codex about the spectre   it speaks about an occult of the six sealed eyes  they were warlocks of an abandoned sovereign house   there was a time when they would seek rebellion  by means of black magic against the rule of the   infernal arch demons so this means that there  were some groups that went against others is it   possible that the wretch could be a rebellious  demon and one of them forged the slayer's armor   and hell as a way to set him loose against the  other groups so which theory do you think fits   the role of the wretch is it availing the betrayer  the demons seeking rebellion or is it someone else   put your thoughts in the comments section with  the release of the ancient gods part 1 for doom   eternal the story of the doomslayer continues this  video is going to cover all the in-game lore it's   going to be very long but i felt like discussing  everything in one long video so let's get into   the lore of the ancient gods part 1 with the khan  maker now defeated this left an imbalance of power   that threatens all of creation the legions of  hell have raised the heavens threatening to expand   their control across dimensions we now battle our  way to urdak to decide the fate of the cosmos we   cannot regain control of urdak without the help of  the seraphim when the seal was broken the balance   is now out of control samuel says that the uac  will not hand over the seraphim without a fight   there's been no indication up until now that the  uac even made contact with the seraphim so this   is pretty interesting the ocean-based platform  we first stepped foot on is called the atlantica   it produced critical work for the human race  during the worldwide energy crisis this was before   samuel hayden brought the crucible to earth which  took place after doom 2016 and before doom eternal   while there were many scientists and engineers  on this facility most of them were unaware of   a second facility down below this concealed  structure housed the original body of the seraphim   it was stored here after he entered our dimension  it also says the seraphim transferred his   consciousness into a cloned body to move among  humanity according to the codex entries the   translation from arie oahem the lamentations of  the seraphs it goes into detail about what began   before urdak and is written by the seraphs when  the void first appeared the father alone swept   across it new realities bloomed where he lingered  and when he stopped to rest urdak sprung forth   from him the father experimented here until  he created jacquaz denizens with burning   ambitions and suppressed restraint so that  indecisiveness could not curb their efforts   he also created davaoth to watch over this new  realm david was a prime evil one of the father's   first gods with such strength and power each  realm could only contain one primeval the people   of jakkad achieved great marvels as they sought  to create a paradise they grasped for unimagined   powers to create a perfect society david felt  pride in his people trying to achieve greatness   but found their curse was their mortality their  curiosity led them to seek immortality david made   it his mission to find this ultimate knowledge  at any cost as the father planned his next realm   he saw that davat would not seize his search  for everlasting life for his people he would   continue this journey no matter what the cost  was foreseeing that davat's rule would ultimately   threaten all creation and that someday davat would  rise to challenge the father there was no choice   david was sealed within jakkad abandoned by  his creator the father this led to davoth being   consumed by fury the father then watched  as jikhad fell into darkness and he knew   this could never happen again determined to  avoid a similar result for the earthly realm   the father blessed his newest experiment with  mortal pains and misfortunes so that his new   creations would treasure life empathy and peace  the seraphim ki will give you access to the right   hand of the father so few have had the honor to  stand in the seraphim's presence isn't it strange   has samuel hayden knows so much about this story  the lord continues in the codex entries about the   book of seraphs the very first creations molded  from the void in the urdak seraphs are bound to   the father's will these angelic creatures helped  build the father's works assisted his research   and once winged through creation to do the  father's bidding after the battle of isn't   cast the father stripped them of their wings in  atonement the seraphs built the luminarium for the   father on the oldest sliver of urdac and took cool  pride in building their marvels including machines   that could contain the terrible energies of the  very essence of life in order to prevent the   seraphs from seeking power the father ordered that  they serve any who reached the luminarium their   laws and codes would serve all who arrived equally  and favor none the most favored of all seraphs was   sammer maker he oversaw worlds studied divine  experiments and reported progress in all creation   after much time the father grew frustrated with  his own many divine errors but mostly with jakkad   in order to prevent jakkad from shattering urdak  the father withdrew from the physical realm this   was an attempt to stop davath from absorbing the  father's infinite powers that he so coveted so a   samur maker took the father's life sphere  to the luminarium as he was bidden to do   and for many ages the makers and other supplicants  came to the luminarium to pray for intercession   it was in the age of nunzia when sammer shattered  the kazardine veil and stole the father's life   sphere samur took the father's pure essence into  the corrupted realms of jakkad from then on only   rumors of shadowy missions remained along  with whispers of his own comings and goings   to the earthly realms life's fears contain  the memory intelligence will and the essential   nature of a being's consciousness all of it  contained by the mighty inventions of the seraphs   because of this when the first con maker died in  the siege of kazadur their life sphere was carried   from the field of battle to the luminarium for  the seraphs to reconstitute when the khan maker   returned to lead a host of makers their enemies  fled before them in fright only the most powerful   god-like indomitable minds can survive the  incredible stresses of having their essence   fused into a life sphere and fewer still can  bear the agony of corporal resurrection when the   slayer finally acquires the key to the seraphim's  chamber samuel says this we work to resurrect the   only ones who can save this world and its people  the facility then self-destructs when the slayer   takes the key explosions occur all over the  place and it crumbles the seraphim is the key to   the human salvation the slayer would then latch  onto a vehicle that goes into the lower levels   he holds on as it pulls them to the depths of the  facility the secrets of the seraphim await below   sharks are present in this area but your journey  must continue samuel then says the seraphim   was a loyal aide to the father you and every  human on this planet owe your reality to them   the uac has been in possession of the seraphim  since before your time it is a relic from their   past the organization's most closely guarded  secret when you locate the seraphim's body   samuel says that he was the one who gave you  your power it was divine intervention samuel   hayden would then transfer his consciousness  into the device just like how vega did on urdak   a flashback occurs from when the slayer last saw  the seraphim a long time ago when he was within   the divinity machine and now they will fear you  is the last thing we heard from the seraphim to   the slayer when the seraphim awakens he speaks to  the slayer we have been allies for some time now   i knew who you were the moment you set foot in our  world and who you could become to us i brought you   to the divinity machine and gave you your power  where would all this be now had i not had the   foresight to create you your gifts are owed to  us now repay the father for all he has granted   us both by returning him to his throne and then  he will save us all it's finally revealed by some   staff members on the ark carrier that dr hayden is  the seraphim he's been with them the entire time   but his body is undergoing a rapid stage of  transfiguration this is why he needs the father's   lifespare brought back into a physical form the  slayer will have to retrieve it from the ingomor   sanctum within the blood swamps he will need  to reach the tomb and acquire it because it is   forbidden makers cannot set foot in a dark realm  the seraphim cannot retrieve the sphere himself   he will await the slayer at the sanctum his  last words before the slayer leaves are these   be grateful despite your transgressions you  are given the honor to serve the gods yet again   there's a map you can see of the blood swamps  it points out key locations along a set path   we can see the desolate forest titan the kaarath  and the sunken ruins with samuel hayden revealed   as the mysterious seraphim the slayer journeys  into hell once more to seek the resting place   of the father's essence only the creator of all  things can save urdak and repel the hordes of hell   the mire of the blood swamps is littered with  the corpses of countless dead who have tried   and failed to reach the peaks of engmore's  sanctum where the father's life's fear lies   the blood swamps stretches across miles of hell a  festering bog of disease and acidic rain towering   above a mire inmorse sanctum rises into the  clouds a solitary vision of hell's ancient past   here the father decreed his wisdom and oversaw  his works and it is here that his life sphere   is interred the sanctum serves as a mausoleum of  gods the sanctity of the spheres protected by the   ancient ritual known as the trial of malagog  during the unholy crusade night sentinels   would journey alone into the swamps attempting to  overcome the trial and reach the rumored resting   place of the great creator none succeeded legends  among the argentines state that their spirits   remain near the grounds of the trial bound to it  eternally waiting to witness the one who will be   granted passage going back to the codex entries  it expands on the seraphs and jakkad the seraphs   would become aware that the increasing failings  of jakkad had troubled the father as he looked   upon its spreading tortures and horrors it was the  first realm he knowingly created and it was still   beloved by him but he came to understand that his  whisper of mortality to their long-lived souls   drove them mad and he knew the infection of  jealousy in their hearts for the immortal in urdak   davot's grasp for power bent the walls between  realms his growing hordes defeated many deputies   and lesser gods the father created as they were  absorbed by davit his strength grew far beyond   what the father placed in him the father bid  sammer his most trusted to help the father in   his final undertakings in the physical realm the  father would confront davath in jakkad and after   this the father would withdraw from the physical  realm samur would then be tasked with taking the   father's life sphere to be stored safely in the  luminarium should the father perceive any rising   dangers from jakkad sammer would be called to  bring the father's life's fear to a place that   none could find it samer swore obedience though  he knew it would come at great cost for the makers   would hunt sammer as a heretic it's very possible  that the seraphim took some maker technology with   him to earth since in do maternal one scientist  says his robotic body is very alien-like as you   venture forward a legendary wolf will come to  your aid providing you with an aura of protection   as you continue your mission deep in hell lies  the ingmors sanctum a fragment of urdak itself   it is sacred and protected ground that contains  the tome of souls where the life spheres of the   many gods the father created are stored each one  immensely powerful in its own way yet judged to   be flawed by the father the stories of their  abominable ends in the physical realm are many   it was from here the father first created the  new dimension of jakad it was here he formed   davat and it was this ground that served as  his first workshop and as a retreat from urdak   where the father could direct the engines of  creation and oversee jakka's gleaming spires   and glorious civilization sammer could travel  to the sanctum but never into jakad the father   would keep his realms separated after creating  jakkad the father retreated to his workshop   to plan the earth realm it was also here that  the father mediated on the future of existence   and made his plan to withdraw from the physical  world any supplicant may approach the holy ground   of the luminarium with life sphere in hand be  they the most powerful in hell or the weakest   in urduc all can approach the luminarium to gain  access to the power of corporal resurrection   though few minds are capable of surviving it in  the luminarium the seraphs serve all of creation   without preference it is only in the luminarium  that the resurrection can take place and only the   seraphs that can give a lifesphere the return  of its original form calling on the engines of   creation to harness the great powers that lay  between the dimensions it is a safe place a   hollowed ground where the father once looked over  all who approached him to listen to his eternal   word the seraphs speak of a time that  jakad gloried in an age of unparalleled   bounty and achievements at the dawn of davath's  authority but davat came to tighten his rule to   drive ever more resources to jacquard's greatest  minds as they hunted the secret of everlasting   life he harshly punished deviation from this goal  for he was unrelenting in his quest to safeguard   his people shekad's unrestrained minds slipped  into ruthlessness and obsession dallas perfect   realm would be sustained no matter the cost for  none in jakad could accept failure or embrace pain   believing jakkad rejected by their  creator hate grew within davath   jakkad fell further into inequity as david  consumed all the realm in pursuit of his goals   and the father sorefully sealed jacquard away  from the other realms the prime evil created   to protect and shepherd the people of his realm  stoked an eternal theory toward the father as   more of his people felt mortality he became the  dark lord and raged against the walls of jakkad   the father sensed this and knew they both  needed to leave the physical realms before   their warring lieutenants tore creation apart  it was then that the father returned to jacquard   now called hell by many atop the pyramid of the  lost where hell once worshipped the father as the   skies split and hell trembled the father ripped  the dark lord's life sphere from his chest he   placed it in the tome of souls unwilling to  obliterate the dark lord's essence entirely   as he had favored davith once long ago sammer then  took the father's life sphere to the luminarium   and for a time there was a stillness in creation  but now the dark lord whispers lies and deceptions   about the father to his praying minions in hell  while he rages trapped in a tome of souls for even   without a physical form gods may yet influence the  realms while many warriors have fallen trying to   complete the ritual called the trial of malagog  the slayer succeeded he has proven to be worthy   enough to reach the pinnacle of jakad he places  his hand on the stone tablet red energy emerges   the ground begins to shake and an enormous  titan called malagog has awoken from his slumber   as he looks down upon this layer he lifts his hand  where the slayer stands and raises the platform up   into the sky the sheer size of this titan is shown  when the platform the slayer is on shows how truly   small the slayer is compared to malaga while  malaga may be the largest titan we've ever seen   he's not here for battle when the slayer has  arrived at ingmor's sanctum the seraphim is   there waiting for him this is where the father's  soul sphere is placed the seraphim needs this   to save his own life instead of handing over  the father's soul sphere the slayer destroys it   this in turn dooms the seraphim to his fate of  transfiguration instead the slayer reaches out   and takes the souls fear of the dark lord david  it speaks out to him by saying you feel you are   prepared now for this the cutscene ends with  the slayer carrying the dark lord's soul sphere   these actions will cause him to take physical  form the slayer returns to urdak carrying not   the father's life sphere but that of the dark lord  himself with the father betrayed by the slayer and   urdac in ruins there is little hope for the once  holy realm a dying land of crumbling towers and   infested with demons the slayer has come to fight  to the corpse of paradise until he reaches the   luminarium where he can awaken his ultimate foe  and finish this war once and for all the dark lord   has only had stories written about him considering  that the father was not truly able to stop david   it's possible the doomed slayer wants to end this  war himself by reviving the dark lord into his   physical form and destroying him this will end the  war when you return to what's left of urdak vega   or the father speaks out to you by saying  the demons now roam freely through this world   without the cod maker and since the awakening  of the icon of sin here the seal has been broken   whispered into existence in the first moment erdak  bloomed around the father the luminarium is the   first place of all places it is the holiest  of all grounds no living being can draw blood   in the luminarium were they to do so they would  lose all access to the powers of resurrection   blood has never been spilt on its pure and holy  floors no matter what faction walks between the   doors as luminarium is the last vestige of the  father's peace in all the corrupted realms under   its corner stones the quantum engines of creation  stir the vast interdimensional structures spin in   and out of existence and they give rise to the  energy needed to split essence from physical   form or to restore it here in the luminarium gods  are reborn vega would speak out to you once again   saying this message it is clear that i am what  was known as the father but i have indefinite   access and understanding of this world's systems  i lack the control necessary to remove the demons   and reseal the void without a physical form i am  merely a presence i have no recollection of myself   i believe my essence from the sphere can return  me to my full faculties the engines of creation   are not metaphors or poetic words but structures  that lay just on the other side of reality itself   under the luminarium they breach the void walls to  touch the physical world hell's machines can pull   soul from its body and process it into argent but  hell cannot return a soul to a body it will never   resurrect what it has consumed it takes energies  far more exotic than any hell controls to not just   cleave a being's essence from its body but  re-incorporate it hell's machines are toys   to what lies under the luminarium the  seraphs proudly control these forces   calmly manipulating the nature of creation and  mind to give life again to raw energy every life   sphere resurrected is a sign of seraph power and  competence the realms age around the luminarium   but the seraphs will always stand as the greatest  engineers of the many dimensions the father   created the seraphs remember that when the dark  lord's lifeless body tumbled down the pyramid   of the lost sammer begged the father to crush the  dark lord's life sphere sammer saw that they could   destroy the dark lord's very essence so that he  would brood no more against the father the father   refused the dark lord was his creation it was  better to leave hell contained with the dark lord   reduced to whispers if it came to pass that the  dark lord were ever reincarnated in physical form   only another primeval or something more powerful  could slay him once vanquished in this manner   the dark lord could no longer rule hell strip of  a prime evil's bindings to the realm it was forged   in it would be scattered across the stars any  denizens of hell not inside the realm's borders   would die as they lost their connection to the  very reality the father designed them for vega   or the father once again reaches out to you  and delivers a message you are here to restore   order to my world with the demons in control  you understand the threat they pose to all my   creations now we get to the part about how the  seraphim is connected to samuel hayden after   the father ordered the seraphim to hide his life  sphere within hell sammer maker followed his final   wishes and withdrew into the shadows of history  traveling to the earthly dimensions he used his   power to establish secret control over the growing  uac organization and implanted his consciousness   into a cloned body in order to move among the  humans more easily as dr samuel hayden the father   had foreseen that the humans would soon discover  the gift of argent energy on their own and knew   that they could only survive the coming onslaught  if sammer took direct control of their operation   using the secrets of maker technology the father's  mind was processed and reformed into the complex   a.i known as vega so that he could continue to  exist among his creations and safeguard them   against hell separated from his divine essence  vega operated without full understanding of what   it once was in order to hide its true nature  from the dark lord who wished to subvert his   power together vega and sammer guided humanity  into a new golden age sammer transferred his   consciousness once again this time into a  technological shell of uac design enabling   him to sidestep ancient laws and enter hell during  the earliest human expeditions he located and took   possession of the slayer's sarcophagus knowing he  would be the key to stopping the coming conflict   after aiding the slayer in the war against  hell the seraphim's original body was reclaimed   with the father's life sphere destroyed  sammer can no longer stop the transfiguration   from corrupting his body and mind betrayed by this  layer the seraphim knows that his will and clarity   will soon give way to mutation according to the  korok's tablets if you kill the dark lord any   demon outside of their world will be destroyed  this would include any demons on earth urdak   or any other world the key to stopping this  war is to slay the dark lord the father   the creator of all things served as the guiding  light for the makers of urdak for untold eons   before vanishing from their realm ageless and  formless the logic and power of the father   gave birth to untold dimensions and worlds giving  rise to innumerous species and civilizations   regarding hell as a failed creation the father  ordered his most loyal servant to remove his   life sphere from urdak and hide it away with an  ingmors sanctum as his consciousness was reformed   into the ai known as vega as vega he could in  secret continue to watch over his creations   on earth while obscuring himself from the dark  lord whose war against his creator is unending   his spirit and mind divided the father  can no longer take physical form after the   destruction of his life sphere by the slayer his  presence remains within existence immutable and   immeasurable observing as the consequences of  the slayer's actions drive destiny forward as you   progress through urdak you will confront summer  maker one more time even with his body undergoing   transfiguration he makes one final attempt to get  revenge on the slayer he says to you your reckless   mission ends now and he shows us his true maker  form his armor falls off and his body becomes   larger than before the person who gave the slayer  his powers has now become one of his final enemies   when summer maker is defeated his body is taken  away by the father it is not required that you   end his life but from here on his mission here is  now his own the consequences of his actions here   are irreversible but the slayer continues on  he presents the soul sphere of the dark lord   and the procedure commences as the physical  form of the dark lord starts to materialize   the slayer waits to set his eyes on a being that  is pure evil but what form will it appear as the   father gives the slayer one final message the dark  lord is the leader of hell's armies not a king   but a warrior of the dark realm the fiercest among  them as only the strongest could rule the demons   he is you in their world so it seems like the  dark lord appeared as a copy of the slayer   you could say it's a manifestation of the hate the  slayer has for the demons it's possible that the   dark lord is the slayer from another dimension  since there's so many times they mention other   realms universes planets and dimensions so the  final battle looks like you might fight a shadow   or clone of yourself possibly with similar or  enhanced powers i'm also wondering if we're   going to get more lore on the demonic crucible  but the rest of the story will continue in the   ancient gods part 2. what's up everyone acid glow  here i'm back with another doom eternal lore video   for this topic i'm going to cover the many texts  and symbols we've seen throughout eternal which   are also present in doom 2016. these texts were  placed all across various walls in different maps   of the multiplayer and single player campaigns for  a long time we had no way of understanding if they   had any messages but back in september of this  year one artist named emerson tongue who worked   on doom eternal had finally posted the alphabet  and numbers for each symbol of the maker language   we can now decode some text on images to  understand the message that's being delivered   there's a lot of things we can look at but for  this video i'm going to go through the book of   seraph's first which was featured in the ancient  gods part 1. every page of this book seems to have   a phrase or set of words around the border it's  the same one on every page as it repeats itself   but here's what it reads power through control  the khan sees all now on to part two let's look   at the text on the left side first there's a  lot of words here separated by two seraphs the   text on the left reads this message and in those  days men shall seek death and shall not find it   and desire to die and death shall flee from  them revelations 9 6 is taken from the bible   this one is similar to the king james version  of that verse there are other formats that have   different wording like the new living translation  the christian standard bible the english standard   bible the new international version or the new  american standard bible the part on the right side   says this the dragon stood on the shore of the sea  and i saw a beast coming out of the sea it had ten   horns the seven heads with ten crowns  and on each head a blasphemous name   revelations 13 1 part 3 is a picture of the  seraphim and the cybernetic body of samuel hayden   the text here is really small and faded away but  i'll try my best to translate them it's incomplete   in some areas but this is what i came up with i  also made out sammer's name on the right side it   doesn't help that some words are underneath other  images making it hard to form a proper sentence   part 4 is when the lore mentions the soul's fears  carry the memories and intelligence of its owner   along with the keys to resurrection when i  translated the text this is what i found genesis   1 3 talks about how adam and eve were to not eat  the forbidden fruit when this happened they were   banished from the garden of eden isaiah 34 3 is  about god's judgment against the nations the small   text about he hath will be explained later in the  video the text around the right side is cut off   from the maker overlapping some text but i was  able to decipher some words here's what it says   there's one letter missing from the top word but i  was able to decode it later on in another picture   this verse is repeated again but if you want to  know now it reads this through peace we guide the   lost now onto part 5 of the book of the seraphs  the image is from the time when the seraphim took   the father's life sphere to the luminarium  by decoding the text here's what it says   hath utterly destroyed them hath delivered them to  the slaughter isaiah 34 2 separated the light from   the darkness and god said let there be light and  there was light god saw that the light was good   part six of the book of the seraphs is  about the father creating the new dimension   jakad it also marks the place of where he created  david these grounds served as his workshop as   a retreat from urdak and in those days men shall  seek death and shall not find it and desire to die   and death shall flee from them revelations 9 6 and  then a small verse from it appears underneath it   and desire to the full text is this and in those  days men shall seek death and shall not find it   and desire to die and death shall flee from them  the small verse at the bottom is from isaiah 34   2 he hath destroyed them to the slaughter part  7 from the book of the seraphs is talking about   the luminarium and how the seraphs serve all of  creation it is the only place a resurrection can   take place the left side has this message the  dragon stood on the shore of the sea and i saw   a beast coming out of the sea it had ten horns  the seven heads with ten crowns and on each   head a blasphemous name revelations 13 1. it seems  like many verses are repeated in different images   but sometimes they get cut off and completed in  another image but the right side says this and god   said let there be light and there was light god  saw that the light was good and he separated   the light from the darkness the text around the  seraphs in the middle is another repeated verse   it says this through peace we guide the lost  now we are on part 8 of the book of the seraphs   it speaks about the time of jakkad and how  davath ruled it but he was overtaken by   his desire to find the secrets of everlasting  life the maker language reads out this message   destroyed them he hath delivered them to the  slaughter this part is taken from isaiah 34 2   and the bottom text reads revelations 9 6 so  now let's move on to part 9 from the book of the   seraphs this picture is linked to more information  about the luminarium it is the holiest of all   grounds on urduc it is a sacred place where gods  are reborn and god said let there be light and   there was light and god saw that the light was  good and he separated the light from the darkness   genesis 1 3 i noticed that some verses and  chapters are placed on a picture and they don't   exactly match each other so i guess it's just  highlighting important parts from the bible the   text on the right side is overlapping some parts  of the artwork it's rather small but again it's   another repeated verse from earlier it says this  and in those days men shall seek death and shall   not find it and desire to die and death shall  flee from them revelations 9 6 in part 10 from   the book of seraphs the image we see is followed  by the information about how hell's machines can   remove a soul from the body and consume it but the  seraphs would use a luminarium and a life sphere   to resurrect a being into physical form the first  text on the left reads out this message and in   those days men shall seek death and shall not find  it and desire to die and death shall there are a   few letters thrown at the bottom i'm just not sure  what they mean next to the symbols the right side   of the text reads out the same message from the  left side and in those days men shall seek death   and shall not find it and desire to die and death  shall as you can see it's not the complete verse   but i did read out the full version before the  text behind the man is another repeated message   it says through peace we guide the lost the same  text is rotating around the circle some words are   cut off but i can match a few letters to complete  the words the last page in the book of the seraphs   is when the dark lord's lifeless body went falling  down the temple this was after the father defeated   him but instead of completely destroying david's  life sphere he sealed it away not wanting to   completely destroy one of his creations here's  what it says on the left side and in those days   men shall seek death and shall not find it and  desire to die and death shall flee from them   revelations 9 6 the large text on the bottom  left reads out god the small text on the bottom   is really small but i was still able to  make out the symbols to translate them   it says this be light and there this part is taken  from the verse when god said let there be light   and there was light the symbols at the bottom do  have a new meaning when translated it says this   in the beginning god created the this part is  taken from genesis the full text is this in the   beginning god created the heavens and the earth  the last set of symbols we have in the book of   the seraphs is on the right side it says this and  god said let there be light and there was light   god saw that the light was good and he separated  the light from the darkness genesis 1 3 so that   covers the translations from the book of  the seraphs in due maternal the ancient   gods when the story of the father was expanded  upon in doom eternal the ancient gods part 1   we got a deeper look into what came before the  time of urdac the father was the creator of all   things he yearned to create the perfect world a  paradise with the utmost upper echelon of creation   during his time in creating many worlds the  father would assign one god to each realm hoping   that each one would prosper and flourish  with what the father bestowed upon them   one such realm that the father had high hopes for  was jakad the denizens here created a civilization   that flourished for some time their god during  this time was the being created by the father   he was known back then as davath this god  would see one fault in the people of his realm   their mortality davat would focus his resources  to find the secrets of everlasting life   what once flourished as a promising realm  of many gifts would turn into one of the   father's worst creations over time davat  would turn into a dark side of himself   turning his realm into a place of corruption evil  and suffering all at the cost of finding the gift   of the immortals seeing how one of his creations  had turned into such a disappointment the father   sealed the realm of jakkad davith was to remain  within and never released to other realms   meanwhile the realm of urdak was a peaceful  holy place the father would create a barrier   from each realm no being from one realm could  enter another davat became consumed with fury   locked away in his realm abandoned by his creator  the father and left to rule his realm of evil   the promised realm of jakkad then became known  as hell and its ruler a god created by the father   would then be known by many names over the  ages but we all saw him as the dark lord   of hell the codex entries speaks of a time  when the father went to jacquard one final time   he wanted to rid the realm of david's rule and  so he ripped the life sphere from his very chest   and davath's lifeless body fell down the pyramid  of the lost his soul's fear would then be placed   within the tomb of souls at ingmors sanctum this  place was also within the realm of jakkad and   locked away through the trial of malaga over  the ages many warriors have tried and failed   their spirits remain here waiting for the one  who will unlock the key and set foot on ingmoor's   sanctum only a being of pure power relentless  fury and determination would pass this trial   and be given passage to ingmors sanctum up above  during one of the codex entries we see a picture   of david's body tumbling down the pyramid of the  lost i want to focus on something in this picture   the sword in this image seems to be a standard  crucible if this was davit's weapon i was   expecting to see the demonic crucible considering  he is the dark lord of hell if you look at the   hilt which is the handle and also the top part of  the blade the design is identical to the crucible   that even the slayer used compared to the demonic  crucible you can see the visible differences   so the blade the dark lord was holding is not  the demonic crucible so that leaves us with a big   question where is the demonic crucible if davat  was the dark lord of hell shouldn't he be wielding   a weapon that suits his standing in hell so what  does this mean well i can think of two possible   answers this design was intentional for the  artwork so it could mean the origins of the   demonic crucible are still hidden within  the lore perhaps the weapon davaot had   was its original form but later became corrupted  by his own evil this could have taken a long time   and eventually turned into a weapon of chaos and  destruction another theory is that his crucible   blade would later be transformed by his disciples  of hell or someone looking to take over and maybe   this was the key if we look back at doom 2016 the  helix stone that olivia pierce was obsessed about   was the key to finding the demonic crucible its  location was later revealed to be in a necropolis   protected by some powerful demons of hell only  a true warrior would overcome their wrath and   claim the mighty weapon of hell so after davit's  body was destroyed and his soul's fear placed in   the tomb of souls other demons could have tried  to claim his position of the dark lord of hell   the slayer testaments from doom 2016 does  mention a period in time like the first age   if we look at the codex entry on the barons  of hell in doom 2016 it says the barons of   hell serve as the royal guard of an unknown dark  lord of the fourth age so this does confirm there   were many ages over time and there could have been  different rulers of hell over that time period the   crucible that david had could have been corrupted  by his evil or by someone else over time and this   could have been the best way to take control of  hell this theory does sound like it could fit into   the lore but the other reason that davos weapon in  this image is not the demonic crucible could have   just been from human error maybe it was drawn  up and they forgot about the demonic crucible   another topic i want to focus on is why did  the slayer destroy the father's soul sphere to   betray the seraphim and the father sammer maker  or the seraphim did say that the father was the   one person that could stop the demons of hell  invading urdak and he could save sammer's life   if we look back at history there was a time when  the father ripped the life sphere from david's   body sammer begged the father to destroy it to  rid the universe of david completely but the   father refused to do so because he remembered  in the beginning david was not this evil tyrant   even until now the father loved his creation even  if it was pure evil right now during a time when   jaccad prospered and flourished the father loved  all of his creations he could not bring himself to   destroy one of his creations and so david's soul  sphere was placed in the tomb of souls so what   does this mean for the slayer summer maker did say  the father was the key to stopping the invasion of   hell on erdak and he would save sammer as well but  if you look at things in a different perspective   if the father was unwilling to destroy david's  soul and all the demons in jakka a long time ago   would he do it now if his physical form was  resurrected maybe not by destroying the soul   sphere of the father that is one god that will  no longer have control over humanity in any   way but why did the slayer choose to resurrect  the dark lord's physical form in the luminarium   it is said that if his physical form is destroyed  all the demons of hell outside of their own realm   would expire this would end the war once  and for all it goes back to that saying   if you want something done right do it yourself  so the slayer wants to fight the final boss if   we look back when we saw david's soul sphere we do  see other smaller souls nearby these could belong   to other evil beings from the past perhaps we  will get more insight about their stories later on   welcome back slayers this video is going to  cover all the lore within the new dlc along with   connections the dlc makes to other sources it's  going to be a very long video but i try to cover   everything i can think of we have a lot to talk  about so let's get started welcome to the lore   of the ancient gods part 2 in doom eternal the  story continues where we left off in the ancient   gods part 1. the war against evil continued as  the slayer resurrected the dark lord himself   in an act of defiance against the makers leaving  the heavens in ruins the slayer must now survive   the treacherous journey to imora the capital city  of hell to face the dark lord in ritual combat   if the slayer is victorious any demons outside  of hell would be destroyed and all connections   to the dark realm would be severed if he loses  the dark lord and his armies will rule all when   the dark lord's physical body is formed the slayer  tries to shoot him immediately however this does   not work out the dark lord speaks out by saying  this no blood can be spilled in this holy place   our time will come if you survive i will  be waiting for you at the city of imora   davat walks through a red portal and vanishes the  slayer walks through his own portal and appears   at the steps his task now is to obtain a power  source and light the torch of the kings the   giant crystal object in the background is then  confirmed to be the cosmic sphere mentioned in   the codex the new lore within says this the world  spear is a cosmic crystal of unknown origin that   pierced the planet of argent de nor from pole to  pole ages ago the mysterious shard is surrounded   by steps that are home to the scattered tribes of  argentine warriors who seceded during the sentinel   civil war abandoned settlements remain within the  wilderness a vestige of the old villages that were   called by the corrupted armies of the north during  the conflict the path to the world spear can be   found through the old roads near these settlements  though no one has made the journey in centuries   it was written that one day a mighty warrior would  return to seek out the spear and the power it   holds his passage proclaimed to all by the torch  of the kings you would then hear the father speak   out to you guiding you on your journey to gain  passage to imora you must power the gate of devom   with the wraith's crystal and pass through to  where the dark lord resides he is waiting for   you the screechers were once human worshipers  of the raltha vatum an ancient hell cult   but instead of being rewarded for the devotion  they were tortured in the citadel of anguish   for millennia they became malformed by their  frustrations of the lifelong deceit their   blood-curdling screams of anger had fermented into  something far more potent an intoxicating power   desired by all demon kind the armored barons  are grafted with the technology of imora just   outside the city gates they patrol with morning  star gauntlets cursed by the dark lord himself   one devastating strike obliterates both body and  soul even the makers fear these creations of demon   and machine for their carnage is both relentless  and unquenchable when you reach the sentinel   structure the intern would reach out to the slayer  by saying this i'm detecting an energy signature   from commander valen upon meeting up with fallon  he brings up the events of the past he says to   the slayer my son's curse has been lifted and i  atone for my sins he gives you the hammer and then   disappears there's a bit of lore around the hammer  once you acquire it this is what it says a sacred   weapon wielded by commander valon of the sentinel  armies powered by a massive infusion of wraith   energy allowing a combatant to stun and extract  resources from demonic foes even though the lore   says this was wielded by valon it's hard to say  if this is the same hammer he kept during exile or   if this is a different hammer just for you i bring  this up because the handle has a different pattern   the codex one is slightly different than the one  in the cut scene so it's a little confusing but   at least we know he is the one who gave you this  hammer so it seems like this could be a different   hammer unless they made a mistake here when  you encounter the stone imps for the first time   a bit of lore about them is revealed imps that  lost their lives on the battlefield are cast   into the volcanic pits of the burning abyss bathed  in origin before base salt and slag they emerged   reborn with flesh of stone the new hide of the  stone imp is impenetrable to most known weapons   only rapid multivibrations or the crushing force  of a sentinel hammer can damage their rock-like   exterior in addition to their retained agility  stone imps can channel the pits of their rebirth   and self-immolate in hellfire the sentinel hammer  can be used to stun enemies or destroy weaker ones   pushing a single button will launch you into  the air and slam the ground if you combine this   with the ice bomb and flame belch you can extract  multiple resources very quickly this gives you a   lot of crowd control while still maintaining a  steady stream of everything you need like health   armor and ammo you can refill the hammer by  picking up the charges which are available in   some areas but now there are other ways  to refill the ammo of this new weapon   you can do it manually by shooting off weak  points on some enemies or by doing a glory kill   this gives you a few options on refilling your  hammer so it's always ready to be used when you   need it upgrades will be available by completing  the first wave of escalation encounters which   are later in the game when you reach the torch  of the kings lighting it signifies to all that   a warrior seeks passage to the world spear the  corrupted priests forbid the use of this beacon   if there are any remaining free tribes left  in argent de nur all will see this light and   know what your mission is here the intern would  speak to the slayer to update him on his mission   we're still a day's walk away from the world spear  the distance he would have to cover on foot would   take an extremely long time but lucky for the  slayer a dragon like creature appears before him   he climbs on top and rides on the back of this  mythical beast even this creature has the mark of   the slayer the dragon would carry this slayer high  into the sky above the clouds and across the land   only to be dropped off in a frigid desolate area  your journey continues you must find the dark lord   and end this war the intern would speak  to the slayer once again with this advice   it seems you're not the only one who wants this  mission accomplished if you defeat the dark lord   any demon outside of hell would be destroyed  this is a message we have heard so many times   but there's a very important reason as to why  the symbol of the dark lord is shared between   the slayer and the divinity machine but the truth  will be revealed later as we look into the story   of the sentinels more information about the world  spear brings further understanding of a time   long ago the world spear sparked life across the  dormant planet of argentinur millions of years ago   arriving mysteriously from the depths of space  and crashing into the planet with enough force to   pierce it from pole to pole soon after impact the  angelic creatures who would come to be known as   wraiths emerged beings of immense power that  spread across the world as their magic bled into   the land and seeded life throughout it remains a  mystery if the spear freed the wraiths from within   the planet or if they arrived on the spear itself  the power of the wraiths gave life to the people   of argent de nur who came to worship them along  with the world spear considering it a holy relic   power continues to flow from the spear infusing  the nearby lands with magic and mutating wildlife   into powerful beasts a live wraith has not been  seen in centuries but rumors persist that some yet   remain inside the world spear itself a cavernous  crater surrounds the enormous spire preventing   access inside to unworthy travelers when the  slayer reaches the nether lake he looks up into   the vast sky he sees the world spear an object of  cosmic power he would walk to the edge waiting for   a path to venture forward the father speaks out  to say this he is worthy a path raises before him   and he walks across making his way further and  further into the unknown skulls of dead titans   litter the area but the slayer continues forward  the path extends across the open gap past the   waterfall as he reaches the end of this area two  ghostly images of gatekeepers appear before him   they stand watched by the entrance the slayer  is allowed to proceed inside transporting him   inside the world spear once inside the intern  would contact the slayer about the situation   this is what he says this is unlike anything  we've ever encountered not even urdoc gave off   readings like this the slayer is now within  a holy place a relic of the past a part of   history that ages with time an object of cosmic  power forever embedded into the land of argent   donor as you make your way forward you reach an  area which contains ghostly images of seraphs   the intern would reveal some shocking news about  the world spear he says this this isn't a crystal   at all it's a ship the inside walls have  images of wraiths large bodies are seen   around the inner area this confirms that wraiths  traveled across space while remaining inside   this crystal ship the lore explains a bit more  knowledge about the crystal and the gatekeepers   in time of desperate need sentinel shamans  would approach the world spear and bear their   souls to be judged the gatekeepers silent guardian  spirits have stood watch over the entrance to the   spear since it first arrived those shamans deemed  unworthy are swiftly cut down with divine strength   those judged as worthy would return to their  tribes bearing shards of the spear itself   a piece of the ancient spire brimming with power  these crystals can be used to power advanced   technology providing a limitless energy source it  was said that the father himself used these shards   to power the gate of davoom the ceiling in this  place seems to have images of eyes looking down   perhaps it's connected to the structure at the  waterfall according to the unlockable icons this   one here is called the world spear eye this  could be the name for either the structure   at the waterfall or the eye at the doorway as the  slayer reaches out to grab a hold of the crystal   the intern contacts him again with this message i  have the location the gate of the room locked in   a portal opens before you and you continue your  journey the portal transports you to earth the   story is explained in this way hell's invasion  of earth has failed and the ark has led human   resistance in the fight to reclaim the planet  the slayer must locate the gate of the voom   an ancient artifact of the father's design within  the ruins of an overgrown city once activated the   path to amora will be opened we then get another  message from the intern as we exit the portal   this is what he says you have the key to the gate  of davoom i will mark its location this is the   only way into the most ancient part of hell the  dark lord will be there waiting for you the codex   entry for reclaimed earth has more backstory to  what happened hell's recent invasion of earth was   stopped by the slayer the blood ritual of conquest  undone by the death of the hell priests and the   defeat of the icon of sin cities remain largely  empty with survivors of the war having moved to   safe zones and underground bunkers emboldened  by the slayer's triumph over the forces of evil   the battle to reclaim earth is nearly complete as  soldiers and citizens serve equally to take back   their homes the ark has led resistance efforts in  coordinated assaults to purge the remaining demons   from earth striking back with relentless force  after hell's failed invasion the story of earth   contains a codex about the savior of mankind the  people of earth have come to view the doomslayer   as a savior a hero who fought to free their world  from the clutches of hell itself the legend of the   slayer has been spread among survivors of the  war broadcast on emergency radio frequencies   and used as a symbol of resistance against the  demons prophets proclaim to all that the slayer   has brought his war to hell itself the people of  earth offer their prayers for his victory as they   spread his sigil and raise his banner inspired to  fight back by his deeds the cursed prowler makes   an appearance shortly after landing on earth  the codex entry says this about this new demon   a binding curse of necrotic poison drips from the  claws of the cursed prowler like venom known in   hell to be one of the most treacherous forms  of blood magic only few have the teachings to   conjure such sorcery yet prowlers from the deepest  and darkest hell pits have evolved to naturally   produce such power from their fingertips one swipe  curdles the blood of their victim and drains them   of their essence with each heartbeat the only  way to cease the curse is to cease the caster   when the cursed prowler curses you a green effect  is left on screen your life slowly drains away   and your movement speed is reduced all weapon  damage is removed during this effect the only way   to remove the curse is to use a blood punch on the  cursed prowler the chain gunners we thought we saw   in the early pictures are actually called riot  soldiers here's what the codex says about them   like their fallen comrades in arms the  once heavy infantry for earth's defenses   have now succumbed to the darkness now marching  under the banner of the dark lord they unleash   a firestorm upon humanity sentinels and any other  thing within their war path emboldened by blessed   shields raided from urdak the riot soldiers firmly  assert their dominance within combat their shields   are stronger than the others we've seen before it  absorbs all frontal damage their weakness however   is their backs hitting this area will be the key  to getting rid of them the gate of davoom has some   lore behind it the codex has some information  built eons ago by the father first deity of the   makers the gate of the voom was used to access  the hidden city of emora deep in the heart of   hell the father used the gate to travel into hell  and oversee emora keeping personal watch over the   dark city the portal has been inactive since the  dark lord was cast down by the father himself   now dormant it requires a tremendous energy source  to reactivate when the father willingly gave up   his throne in urduc and with the aid of his loyal  servant sammer maker he was deconstructed into the   ai known as vega in this form he obscured himself  from the vision of the dark lord and maintained   close watch over his creations on earth the  gate of the womb remains unused and hidden   from all who seek to access the dark lord's realm  since this codex entry has maker text i'm going to   translate what i can the four words here are devom  father all and power the six symbols or text on   the outside areas are still a mystery because at  the moment there is no direct translation for them   now let's move on to the codex about the  story of hell the first codex talks about   the betrayal of the father our research shows  that maker history and lore holds truths that   are not consistent with passages found in the hell  priest attacks revealing the true origins of hell   and all surrounding dimensions this revelation  would explain why hell is a single dimension   that connects to all others and why it is the  oldest in existence the first world in the   beginning the world of jakkad later known as hell  prospered under the guidance of their leader david   he longed to solve the riddle of immortality  for his people an ability only he possessed   his efforts met with failure as mortal flesh  could not sustain the undying spirit using his   unrivaled power he crafted the maker race to find  a solution their machine minds working in unison   davith was obsessed in his effort to eliminate  death from the world of jakkad when the makers   discovered the secret of immortality they deemed  the knowledge too dangerous to share for in their   judgment david had come to be seen as an eventual  threat to all life the makers acted in secret and   worked quickly to seal jakkad away and david with  it while the records of urdak were rewritten to   hide the truth enraged david became the dark lord  as vengeance and hatred consumed him and his world   transforming it into hell this image also has  maker text there's a lot of them on this one   i was able to translate all of the visible ones  to make out what it says but this one ended up   being a little tricky because the artist did flip  some of the text backwards so what you're reading   now is a verse from genesis 1. here's how it  looks when you flip all the letters correctly   and god said let there be light and there was  light god saw that the light was good and he   separated the light from the darkness the next  section is the lore about the tainted prophecy   a picture of the khan maker and davao is used  for this part it says this it was believed by   culdest members of the uac that the creation of  the slayer was guided in secret by the dark lord   himself he did it to destroy the makers and their  world as punishment his hope to exact revenge   on the servant race who had betrayed him even  without a physical form the dark lord can still   have a powerful influence especially against ones  susceptible to corruption he touched the mind of   the con maker leader of the maker race convincing  her that there was a chosen one who would threaten   her rule the khan set out to find him paranoid  afraid of this potential hidden threat the   dark lord convinced her was close she would do  anything to find and destroy the hidden beast   when you reach the gate of davoom you place  the wraith crystal to power the gate it opens a   portal and the father speaks out to you the gate  of the voom the only way into the most ancient   part of hell the dark lord is there waiting for  you he will not allow his city to be overtaken   like you he will fight to the end the final  battle has begun using the gate of devom to access   the heart of hell thus there now stands before  the gates of amora ready to face the dark lord   armies now gather as the dark realm prepares  for war and the coming conflict will decide   the fate of all by hell's law if the dark lord  is defeated in ritual combat any demon outside   his realm will be destroyed as the dark lord  calls out these words ah ten men the forces of   hell storm the battlefield an army of hellish  demons dragons and spaceships fill the area   ready for the final war between good and evil  this battle will decide the fate of all realms   there's a few things i want to point out here  the first thing is the foot soldiers here in red   armor they seem to resemble the armor type from  doom 2016's robotic armor sets they were part   of the dlc called unto the evil and the weapon  they're holding looks like the reaper weapon   from doom 2016's dlc called hell followed as  the slayer awaits by his side of the battlefield   numerous portals open behind him commander valen  appears near the slayer he is followed by sentinel   warriors atlan mechs spaceships and dragons the  war has begun commander valan leads the army by   saying this come brothers let hell tremble before  our might during this cut scene there's another   thing i noticed there's a few sentinels that are  holding a firearm it does not look like something   from doom eternal but it does look like the arc  cannon from doom 2016 so it's nice to see some   elements of doom 2016 in this game so if we look  to our left on the battlefield we have an atlan   fighting against a titan he's using a giant  spear and the dual cannons on our shoulders   on the middle area we have some spaceships firing  upon the fortress and on the right side we have a   constant stream of sentinels marching forward and  sometimes they get hit by a huge fireball the same   sequence plays over and over during this part so  once you've seen it you can move on before we go   forward let's check out the codex about imora and  read up on the lore at this point translations of   ancient texts named amora as the capital city  of hell david the creator of this primal realm   came to be known as the dark lord after the  betrayal by the race of makers he had crafted   sealed off against his will from the other  dimensions the first world known then as jakad   fell into corruption and transformed overtime  into hell once a paradise at the dawn of creation   immoral now survives as a stronghold where the  dark lord resides sustained now by the essence   of hell's victims the people of amora experience  life eternal regular infusions of hell energy   have prevented them from transforming into the  demons outside the boundaries of the city ancient   technology defends immoral from invaders the high  walls impenetrable to those who would bring harm   to the last people of the first world the codex  about the false salvation is the next topic the   dark lord guided the hand of the khan maker as  she directed the creation of the divinity machine   the father had saved an element of the dark lord  before he betrayed him and went into hiding for   he was reluctant to destroy all parts of his  creator this piece of the dark lord remained   sealed within the coffins of urdak knowing this  the dark lord guided the con maker to it and she   took its discovery as a sign from a higher power  she descended from the mountains of enchroman   with a shard needed to power the divinity  machine they had created to save all worlds   this codex art piece also has some maker text  in the center it's another verse from the bible   here's what each letter spells out the  verse is broken apart with missing words   it's taken from revelation 13 1. this is the full  verse the dragon stood on the shore of the sea   and i saw a beast coming out of the sea it had ten  horns and seven heads with ten crowns on its horns   and on each head a blasphemous name when you  make your way inside the fortress a new lore   codex is acquired it's called the seed of doubt  the makers tested several sentinel warriors of   argent and noor in a divinity machine driving  them mad and destroying their souls each time   but the search for the beast continued on the eve  of the black star during the siege of taras nabad   a vision took hold of the khan's servant sammer  maker thoughts of sedition had grown within the   loyal chancellor poisonous doubts that clouded  his faith the khan maker will lead us to ruin the   voice said and the idea grew the demonic trooper  has a little bit of lord to it within the codex   emora's warrior cast defends the ancient city  keeping watch over the walls since the betrayal   of their creator millennia ago the imperial  guard of davaot remains an honored position   amongst the citizens of emora wielding armor and  weapons forged in the fires of hate and suffering   their loyalty and devotion to davit is unwavering  having waited eons for the return of their   rightful leader the story of hell continues  with the codex about the rise of the slayer   it says this sammer was blinded with newfound  conviction as unbeknownst to him the voice of   the dark lord controlled and compelled him  to free a stranger from his prison and bring   him to the divinity machine samuel knew without  knowing that if the machine could destroy a life   it could also empower it with blinding ability the  one who would emerge from the machine would stop   the reckless con maker from leading his people  to ruin convinced he was doing what must be done   sama reversed the polarity of the machine  and gave rise to the super being who would   stop the con maker and save them all the  last codex entry is about the final battle   this is what it says it came to be as ordained by  sammer's vision the slayer became the unstoppable   force of rage against all evil but eventually  he would turn on his masters and destroy the   deceitful khan once her alliance with the demons  had been exposed to him a corrupted urdack lay   in ruin and sammer would soon be judged by the  very savior he had created just as davit had   foreseen the dark lord had forged the bearer of  his vengeance through those that had betrayed him   it was the ultimate revenge his monster would  now come for him and he would have to destroy   that which gave him his retribution against the  makers davith would not run for he knew the beast   would find him they would do battle on sacred  platforms where the dark lord's minions would   lie in weight to observe the outcome this art  piece also has maker text on both sides i'm going   to translate the one on the left side first this  is what it says and god said let there be light   and there was light god saw that the light was  good and he separated the light from the darkness   this is a verse from the bible on the right side  these are the translated words from the maker text   as you can see it is an incomplete verse from the  bible but here's the full version the dragon stood   on the shore of the sea and i saw a beast coming  out of the sea it had ten horns and seven heads   with ten crowns on its horns and on each head a  blasphemous name there is also some maker text   running on the outer edges of the art pieces i  did cover this in a video dedicated to translating   every page about the book of seraphs this was  when the ancient gods part 1 was released in 2020   so if you want the translations for all those  pages then check out that video when you head   deeper into imora the intern sends you a message  he says this you're approaching the dark lord's   sanctum i'm starting to lose my connection  though doomslayer sir i won't be able to   and then the signal gets cut off it seems now  you are completely on your own ancient gods bear   witness as the slayer and the dark lord enact the  rite of combat before the throne room of emora a   challenge to determine the fate of existence when  you finally meet the dark lord in the throne room   he speaks out to the slayer you bring  violence and war to thwart the dark realm but   conflict was born in hell it is inevitable  a fire that fuels creation and gives purpose   where there is none stand and fight slayer honor  your true god fight and show me your purpose   when you damage the dark lord's armor enough  another cutscene plays which reveals more   backstory the dark lord says this for too long  have i been imprisoned by my own creations   you will not stop my vengeance nor the one who  betrayed me the father then says this he is the   first being and my creator when he fell i  ascended the dark lord responds with this   they lied to you slayer amora and its people would  have been perfect if not for the treachery of my   servants they sealed me away stole my power and  name and now the time has come for a reckoning   as all things were made by my hand so  shall they be unmade starting with you   so the entire story of what the father  said of him being the creator of all life   the creator of jakkad and david it was all a  lie the reason hell is connected to every other   realm and why it is the oldest in existence is  because it truly was the first world ever created   and davat is the true creator of all things when  you finally beat the dark lord the doom would   remove his helmet to see his enemy face to face  the dark lord would ask him one final question   tell me have you nothing to say to your creator  before you strike him down the doom slayer simply   replies with no and shoves his doom blade into the  dark lord's chest piercing that red crystal as the   dark lord begins to die so too to his minions  all the demons and start to perish in flames   the earth is saved again the war is over but  there's more to the story because davit created   the doom slayer in some way all of his creations  would also cease to exist outside of hell this   also means you the doomslayer also suffer the same  fate his body is then placed within a sarcophagus   and laid to rest within the tome of souls located  at ingmors sanctum and in the end you see him   along with the other archdemons so it turns  out we did not get the ending that i really   wanted which is the demonic crucible and of course  the dark priest who is consumed by the crucible   which i think could have been summer maker now  there's still a chance that they could revisit   this franchise in the future and branch off the  story but we did get a pretty unexpected ending   davot was the true creator of all life the father  betrayed him he fooled the con maker to create   the divinity machine then he influenced  sammer maker to place the doomguy within   this is why we see this symbol on the divinity  machine it was to create davot's weapon of   revenge the mark seems to originate from davith  the last thing we see is the korax tablet entry   717 may the blood on your sword never  dry and may we never need you again   this is also the first thing you see when you  started doom 2016 it appears on the loading screen   this is what it says so you walk eternally through  the shadow realms standing against evil where all   others falter may your thirst for retribution  never quench may the blood on your sword never   dry and may we never need you again now that the  saga of the doom slayer is laid to rest a lot of   fans are thinking this might be the end well even  though the ancient gods part 2 was a way to close   off the story of the slayer that's where this arc  is going to remain but there is a possibility we   might see a new story just not with the slayer  this video is going to cover what's next for   doom and later on i want to discuss a few topics  within the lore things that still left me with   questions or were a little confusing it's going to  be a long video so sit back and enjoy so to recap   the base game of do maternal focused  on the con maker and the icon of sin   the first dlc focused on sammer maker who is part  of the slayer's past when he appeared on the land   of argent de nur the second dlc was all about the  dark lord of hell and that story went really deep   into the lore we discovered that some things that  the father told us and what the codex had said was   fabricated just to hide the truth from everyone  else it was a veil of lies over the eyes of many   the pages of history written by  the makers was hiding the truth   what we read and knew about the dark lord was  not entirely true so for a look at the full   lore i do suggest you check out my previous video  but for this video let's talk about what is next   it's hard to see the slayer end this way but  the journey was amazing is this the end of doom   well not really there's two websites that had  recent interviews with hugo martin and marty   stratton posted on march 17th of 2021 they go over  what is possible after doom eternal's story and   talk a little about the dark lord in the latest  dlc over on games radar hugo martin said this   this is our version of luke skywalker and darth  vader going at it but it's not the end of the doom   universe there are more stories to tell and i  think when you look at the world of part 2 as   you play through it you can see where we could  go and things that we could do the dark lord   boss fight is really i'd say our best boss fight  to date it feels more like a 1v1 pvp fight than   it does pve to be honest we did a lot of work to  try to make that encounter feel like you're really   fighting an adversary someone equal to you he has  an ability to actually take health from the player   for instance just as you can take health from him  so he gains resources from you like you've been   doing to other demons for the entire game which  gives it this really good back and forth dynamic   he goes on to talk about more aspects of the  new sentinel hammer weapon highlighting its   main focus during combat he says this the sentinel  hammer has a huge impact on gameplay in terms of   how you acquire resources it's an instant kill on  fodder so it's great for just dealing with large   groups of guys especially when they crowd you but  the main thing it does is that it gives you ammo   everything that gets hit by the hammer's area  of effect blast will give you ammo making it   a new way to get resources back and as you know  resource management is definitely a key strategy   in eternal it's part of the engagement loop as  much as i liked the crucible in the base game   i did have some fun with the hammer but i find the  way you can replenish it during combat did make   the combat situations less difficult it's a great  addition to playing with something new it's just   for myself i did miss the crucible for those quick  kills because of the limitations they had during   2020 the team had to work from home which changed  everything for everyone the article does mention   some things about invasion mode and battle mode  marty stratton said this we had talked before   launch about things like invasion and additional  battle mode maps we wanted to have more playable   battle mode demons out by this point and those  are things that are still on the horizon for us   but we put our focus on getting the ancient gods  dlc's done because we knew players really wanted   them i'm still wondering what's going to happen  with invasion mode and if at this point is it   even worth waiting for it is another game mode but  when you think about it it's just like battle mode   but you're in the single player maps and a slight  map change will not really change my experience of   controlling the demons because they are just too  weak versus a slayer that can quick switch between   his weapons that's mainly why i lost interest  in battle mode the demons we used were just the   nerfed versions overall they just felt too weak  while multiplayer is a second thought for the   developer it seems the sales figures of the dlc  and completion rates of the single player indicate   what the doom fans really want certainly  with completion rates on the doom eternal   campaign at a healthy percentage and recently  revealed sales figures suggesting the sequel   was a financial success the doom community is ever  growing and always hungry for more demons to slay   id software is more than in tune to the appetites  of those players too taking their feedback into   consideration not just for various post launch  updates throughout 2020 but in the very design   of the ancient gods dlc themselves doom has  always been a game focused on single player   with multiplayer being an afterthought they did  really well with the story and combat system   so if they follow the same line of direction for  a future game or dlc i'm sure it will get mostly   positive results moving on to the interview posted  on polygon they bring up the same question as to   where does doom go from here hugo martin responds  with this while this is the end of the story arc   that began in doom 2016 we planted a lot  of stakes in the ground with that story   and we've been able to flesh out a lot of those  things throughout the course of do maternal   and to do two dlcs so that story arc will end you  know from the time you woke up in the sarcophagus   to the end of the dlc but there are more stories  to tell with the doom slayer for sure this could   mean two things they could continue with another  game or dlc in the future and just mention the   slayer while focusing on someone else considering  how he says that story arc will end the other   thing which i doubt they could bring the slayer  back to continue his story which is unlikely   i think the story from doom 2016 then going into  doom eternal was a fresh way to expand on the lore   doom 3 did it in their own way despite the  game being influenced by horror the story in   doom 3 was a way to keep the fans interested in  something new because you cannot repeat the same   formula from the original games things need to  evolve and change with time the team had a lot of   conversations about what fits doom and what does  not fit doom one feature they did not agree with   was the crouch feature in doom 2016. hugo martin  said this sometimes though they do get it wrong   martin said that the crouch feature in doom 2016  a button press that made you smaller was not doom   if you have a problem in doom the answer should  almost always be running at it trying to kill it   and if possible getting even bigger not reducing  your own size doom is a game of fast-paced action   quick gameplay and multiple demons to slay hugo  martin added this summary you feel liberated when   you play doom like i need armor i will set you on  fire right now and saw you in half and take what i   need i will not wait behind that rock for those  things to just slowly regenerate i need it now   i take it the last part of this interview gives  us more reason to believe that the doom universe   is not over hugo had this to say could we tell  a story about when the doomslayer first came   to that place with the sentinels almost like a  more medieval setting a fantasy setting i think   as you play the dlc too you'll see lots of hints  of what we could do moving forward maybe even in   the future again our hero is somewhat timeless  i mean literally he's immortal so he could tell   all kinds of stories even if the doom slayer saga  is over they could introduce a new character hugo   martin did mention they thought about a female  doom slayer from another dimension and maybe   branch off from there maybe include the slayer in  some flashback scenes or more codex entries that   mention his story the doom universe is not over  they can tell many other stories so for now we   can just enjoy what they started in doom 2016 and  ended with the ancient gods part two now that the   interview stuff is over with let's talk about a  few other topics regarding the ancient gods part 2   did the father create other life-forms this is  what the lord says in the ancient gods part 1   the father watched as jacob fell into darkness  and knew it could never happen again determined   to avoid a similar result for the earthly realm  the father blessed his newest experiment with   mortal pains and misfortunes so that his new  creations would treasure life empathy and peace   there's another codex entry that states this when  the father willingly gave up his throne in urdak   and with the aid of his loyal servant sammer maker  he was deconstructed into the ai known as vega   in this form he obscured himself from the vision  of the dark lord and maintained a close watch over   his creations on earth this heavily implies that  the life forms of earth were created by the father   so they would value the meaning of life and  experience what it's like to be mortal so   what happened to the slayer at the end why did he  collapse and not disappear like the other demons   while he is not entirely an evil being created by  davak he was merely modified in a divinity machine   the father had taken a piece from his  creator before david was sealed away   this contained the power of the dark lord and  it was contained within the coffins of urdak   they sealed me away stole my power  and name and now the time has come   for a reckoning the dark lord told a con maker  about a chosen one that would destroy her but   there was one way to find this beast creating  the divinity machine was part of that false   salvation the dark lord guided the con maker to  the location of the peace containing his power   this was the source of power for the  divinity machine later on sammer maker   was then influenced by the dark lord to free the  outlander and bring him to the divinity machine   he changed the polarity on the machine and this  power of the dark lord was then transferred into   the slayer during the procedure why did sammer  do this well because of his vision the con maker   will lead us to ruin he thought doing this was  the right way to stop her he's not a pure demon   like the others but he is linked to davit so when  he killed davith in the end he collapsed it seems   that without the dark lord the slayer is severely  weakened his strength speed and power faded away   his body now resides in a sarcophagus and there  he shall remain throughout the ages as he once   did before the symbol on the divinity machine  is the same one you see on the dark lord's back   so the true purpose of this device was to create  a being with similar power to david a way he could   exact his revenge on those who betrayed him the  slayer and the dark lord are connected together   by the power of david this is why the father is  not affected by the death of david the father   was a deity for urdak not for jakkad or hell only  the creations of hell are affected when the dark   lord is defeated because they are creations  of that world the wraiths were a topic that   was quickly mentioned in the lord but they did  not go deep into it i wanted to know more about   this species like what else do they do what is  their purpose why did they not leave argentinor   was their ship that damaged where did they come  from and why are the images of seraphs with them   it's a topic that left me with more questions  and what about the demonic crucible was the   last prophecy simply leading up to the ending of  doom 2016 where samuel hayden would be consumed   by his fascination about the crucible and just  take it from you is that what the last prophecy meant in my opinion no the prophecy seems to  imply that there's more to this story but   the demonic crucible is a plays a role into this  if the prophecy was just foreseeing the ending   of doom 2016 then it does not match entirely  because nobody has claimed the demonic crucible   to be consumed by it so with a demonic crucible  still being left behind on the fortress of doom   i believe they could make either the father or  samura maker a new enemy i believe either one can   be that dark priest who rises and becomes consumed  by the crucible which would create a new enemy   so this could be a way to extend the story in the  future now let's talk about the final boss battle   with the dark lord i was hoping there were actual  changes to the mechanics at some point because of   the codex entry from ancient gods part 1 we did  see davith in different armor and another crucible   so i was hoping at some point we would fight some  kind of humanoid form like that but when it was   the same boss battle repeated multiple times just  with more enemies it kind of dragged on for me and   at some point i thought i just want this to end  however it was nice to fight an opponent that had   similar abilities as you yes that constant  health regen did make the battle longer than   it would have liked but anyways since we had the  hammer i guess there was some expectation to have   a hammer versus crucible battle or something like  that what about the whole thing with the dark lord   requiring the use of a battle armor suit if you  look back at the first dlc the father did say this   the dark lord is the leader of hell's armies  not a king but a warrior of the dark realm   so if he is this legendary warrior does that imply  he is only this good with that battle armor suit   well i think the suit was something made during  the time jakkad prospered under his rule the codex   does say this alone jacquard's minds achieved  great marvels as they sought to create a paradise   we know he has access to advanced technology so  maybe this suit is something extra perhaps he is   a great warrior but since his power is transferred  into the slayer now davit only has the suit   for any combat situations what about the wretch  hugo did say this during one of his live streams   we didn't really go into it the wretch is  the one who fashions your armor originally   and i will say that is one that has been left  on the table so far it is the person who made   your armor initially way back in argent de nur  when you're with the sentinels but didn't really   go into who that character was i went over this  topic in a previous video and how this most likely   points to valon when the dark lord says this  in one slayer testament the wretch who shall   not be named i think this is talking about valon  because he betrayed his own people and also hell   by possibly being the one who forges the slayer's  armor or just upgrades it here's another thing   in doom 2016's codex entry about argentinor one  of the korak's tablets mentions the word rach   all falls before the command of hell for our  power is absolute our march to victory inevitable   before our armies even the elemental rates  of argentineur were subjugated in that great   victory the night sentinels protectors of  the raids were betrayed by one of their own   and the wretches wept as we devoured their world  and took the well for our devices none stand   against us for treachery resides in all things  and we shall set it free it says the wretches wept   as we devoured their world this is referring to  the argentine people so who amongst them could   be despised by the sentinels and by the dark lord  possibly commander valen because he betrayed the   sentinels and hell and also he is the most likely  connection to the person that could have forged   or upgraded the slayer's armor to help him fight  the forces of hell here's the last topic i want   to cover who are the other dark lords there are  various codex entries that mention other lords   of hell this took place over different ages one  of the slayer testaments in doom 2016 says this   in his ravenous hatred he found no peace and  with boiling blood he scoured the umbral plains   seeking vengeance against the dark lords who  had wronged him he wore the crown of the night   sentinels and those that tasted the bite of his  sword named him the doom slayer the codex in doom   2016 about the baron of hell says this the barons  of hell are the current royal guard of the unknown   dark lord of the fourth age the codex in doom  2016 about the necropolis on page 2 says this   imagine yourself worshiping before the icon of  sin in awe of its splendor even as it sleeps   to the call of ages comes envision chanting  the names of dark lords in the correct order   empowering them with your rote learning when  david was sealed away in jakkad and his soul   sphere placed within the tome of souls there were  other demons who took the title of the dark lord   his name title or status was taken by others over  the course of history so why is there nothing   mentioned about the other dark lords who were they  and what were their goals that's a question that   still remains with all the power the doomed slayer  has he defeated the forces of heaven the demons of   hell and the dark lord but there are still others  who are above all what's up everyone we're back   talking about the lore within doom eternal this  video will cover questions about the story which   are not explained in the game these questions were  brought up during hugo martin's latest live stream   a good portion of the stream at the start  was hugo explaining the team's decision   as to why they patched the ancient gods part 1.  if you don't know they simply removed some tough   enemy spawn encounters to make them a little  bit easier for new players the base campaign is   really meant to be an even playing field for all  doom fans but if you want a real challenge then   that's what master levels are for they are still  going to make adjustments to that change later on   during his run on urdak josh boyle brought up the  topic of the pallets within a corridor which are   very different hugo responded saying that it  was supposed to resemble the inside of a body   this is linked to how the makers started as an  ai that became organic beings they are seen as an   alien race and the world they create is synthetic  now let's move on to the topic of the dark lord   and the doomguy so the dark lord did not make  the doom guy he made the doom slayer there's a   difference there by his powers being transferred  into the doom slayer through the divinity machine   another topic of discussion which gets a lot of  attention is why they look similar the reason   they look alike is hinted in the codex but  it's only a partial answer it says this if   it came to pass that the dark lord were ever  reincarnated in physical form only another   prime evil or something more powerful could slay  him hugo martin also left us with a big question   who creates prime evils he chose to not answer  this question and just leave us with another big   mystery this seems to give the idea that all other  prime evils might look like davith or maybe this   was the only time this occurred like i said hugo  only gave us a partial answer to this question   but this might be answered in the ancient god's  part too when the doomed slayer meets up with   david at the throne room on emora if you look  at the subtitles of the seraphs within this area   they are labeled as the ancient gods these images  are also seen within the crystal ship of the raids   it's just a theory but i think the ancient gods  which might be the seraphs are the ones who   created davith and other primevals here's another  bit of backstory when the con maker is defeated   on urdak we hear a voice scream out no this was  originally set as mysterious voice but in one of   the patches it was changed to the dark lord this  caused some confusion because the dark lord wanted   the maker race destroyed as they betrayed him long  ago it was then reverted back to mysterious voice   because it's not supposed to be labeled as the  dark lord to clear this up hugo martin said this   the idea that there is something beyond that  could be overlooking all this is what that   voice is meant to tease someone greater than or  a step beyond davith and the maker like who's to   say that voice is evil or good or who they are so  that voice belongs to someone else there's more to   the doom story than what is explained in the lore  the topic of daisy was brought up the question is   about why the slayer can see daisy in the game  hugo said i think it's in his head now while   it's not a clear answer it can be interpreted as  daisy being a possible hallucination of the slayer   he's just seeing images of something he lost long  ago and the memories still haunt him to this day   there is a picture under the desk on the fortress  of doom the lord does not say who that is but hugo   clears it up he simply says this it was his wife  and kid before all this stuff happened one topic i   was really curious about is that giant body found  on urdac there are still many mysteries within   doom eternal and this was one of them for the  past year back in 2020 i did two videos covering   this topic the color of the liquid has shades of  pink and purple along with some type of residue   at the surface and some mist above it steam can  be seen in some areas this could be due to warm   temperature or there's some type of chemical  reaction the residue at the surface could be   tissue that came off the body one theory back then  was that this liquid is meant to preserve the body   another theory is it could have been the first  con maker body then its genetic makeup would be   used to create future con makers if it was the  first con maker body that would make it millions   of years old maybe it was the con maker that was  supposed to replace the current one or a cloned   body used for another purpose when hugo martin  reached this area in his live stream he gave us   the final answer to this question he said this  that is a former khan there's always a con that   leads the makers but they're not supposed to rule  forever when the father leaves the con maker takes   over but as it said in the lore this khan maker  does not want to give up their role of leadership   without the father they cannot create another con  maker after the last one so this card maker made   a deal with hell the makers would conquer worlds  for hell to devour the souls of the innocents are   used to create argent energy argent energy is  then used to avoid the transfiguration process   this would keep the current cod maker alive since  they cannot make future cons without the father   hugo also said this about the giant being tbd as  to whether or not that particular maker had gone   through transfiguration in my mind that's what  they become you know like giant katuhu monsters   and even worse than that i also want to look back  at the seraphs the lore says this about them the   very first creations molded from the void in urduc  seraphs are bound to the father's will in order   to prevent the seraphs from seeking power the  father ordered that they serve any who reach the   luminarium the reason i bring this up is that when  you meet up with a dark lord in the throne room of   imora the subtitles have those seraphs labeled  as the ancient gods we also see special seraphs   within the crystal ship where you find the wraiths  they seem to appear anywhere of great importance   so i'm wondering if the seraphs or another version  of the seraphs could be the beings who are above   davath perhaps they created him as the first  being then later on he made his own creations   one of them being the father who betrayed him  later on this gives me more reason to believe   that they are the true gods among all but  keep in mind this last part about the seraphs   is just a theory that i wanted to add i think  there's a lot of unexplained elements in the   story of doom this surely cannot be the end we  have yet to learn who is above davath who was that   mysterious voice and what their purpose is there  are far too many questions still left in the game   this ending in the ancient gods part 2 does not  close the book on everything like they said before   they have more stories to tell in doom but when  will we get those answers only time will tell the   doom franchise has spawned many video games a few  novels and movies each of them expanding the lore   in their own way i did a lot of videos focusing  on the lore of the video games and i sometimes   mentioned the novels but one thing i wanted  to look at is the doom comic book from 1996.   it's a piece of forgotten history because it was  so rare at the time limited to being part of a   giveaway back in the day the cover art features  the doom marine with no helmet and his armor is   similar to the version of the cover on doom 2.  this is because the shoulder pads are different   between the two games the shoulder pads from  the comic book resemble what you see in doom 2.   the comic book story itself was a bit over the  top and silly issue number one was titled knee   deep in the dead which is taken from the first  doom game so let's have a look at the story   of the doom comic book the story begins by jumping  right into the action the do marine is fighting   an imp while using the berserker pack who's a  man and a half i'm a man and a half berserker   packing man and a half there's nothing wrong  with you that i can't fix with my hands dynamite i'm cooking with gas i've got a handful  of vertebrae and a head full of mad yeah   that's your spinal cord baby dig it who's the  man i'm the man i'm a bad man how bad real   bad i'm a 12.0 on the 10.0 scale of badness don't  need a gun guns are for wusses huh what's that   what's that i like what i see an important  looking door knock knock who's there me   me me me me me me he then comes face to face  with a cyber demon but the battle is very short   cyber demon big deal he slim pickens rip and tear  rip and tear rip and tear rip and tear your guts   you are huge that means you have huge guts oh  here it comes here comes the night train punk   berserker pack gone feelings of invincibility over  change of plans i do need a gun i need a big gun   i need a really big gun after running off to  another room he's still looking for more guns   and he does find some but he's got  to get them off the zombies first   zombies with guns not big guns but they are guns  and i need guns ah chainsaw the great communicator   come here boys i got something to say allow me  to communicate to you my desire to have your guns got a gun need a bigger gun moving right  along dark might makes light and i feel mighty groovy at this particular moment in time  i don't believe i have a healthier or   more deeply felt respect for

new bag death surrounds me  yet in my head i hear something that sounds like   angels i have found the holy grail of firepower  my eyes can but weep as they bear witness to the   majesty the bfg 9000 as i stride knee deep through  the dead all is clear i know what must be done   my cause is just my will is strong and my  gun is very very large seconds later the doom   marine encounters the cyber demon one more time  but this time the outcome should be different   let looser volley of death cyberdemon you struggle  in vain righteousness and superior firepower has   triumphed the filthy beast is no more victory  is mine yet earth remains besieged by creatures   unspeakably foul it will take a strong man to  bring the light of freedom back to this planet   a strong man with the biggest  baddest gun in the world amen to that   the end the comic book story was  actually pretty funny and i liked it   we got to see a few demons and weapons from  the game but did you like the comic book story   tell me in the comment section next up let's  look at some history related to the comic book   some sources online say that there were  two separate printings of the comic book   the original for a giveaway and years later it was  reprinted for the id anthology which is basically   a package full of other items like 4 cds which  included 19 games before doom 3 this includes   quake wolfenstein 3d rescue rover soul dax  all the games and the commander keen series   all the classic doom games and a few others you  could say it was the games that its software   was heavily involved with which is why games like  heretic and hexen were not included in this bundle   since those were titles developed by raven  software amongst these items you would also   find a black t-shirt with the ed anthology logo  two separate dog tags an id anthology phone card   a miniature of the cyber demon a poster a short  book about the history of its software called   the book of id and also the doom comic book a  few websites also listed that there were two   versions of the anthology collection the later one  having an updated version of the tnt and plutonia   wad files with just a few bug fixes there's a few  differences between the original and the reprint   version of the comic book the original comic had  advertisements for hexen on the inside cover and   final doom for playstation on the back cover but  the ed anthology reprint changed the ads around   for other pc games from their windows 95 versions  the other difference between the two versions is   the contrast level of the colors and the font on  the warning and issue number are slightly changed   in the original version only the issue number  is in italic which means it's slanted but the   warning up top is normal but in the reprint  version the issue number font is normal   but the warning up top is in italic italic font  is just slanted or leaning on an angle some lines   from the comic book were then used for achievement  names in the xbox versions of doom 2. here's a few   that i found that are linked to each other the  achievement a man and a half was taken from the   first page of the comic where the doom marine is  using his berserker pack to take out some demons   the achievement called an important looking door  is a line taken from page two of the comic book   then shortly after he kicks through it  the next one is rip and tear it's taken   from page three of the comic book when the  do marine meets the cyber demon the line   rip and tear would later become a popular meme  within the doom community this other achievement   you have huge guts is said by the do marine  right before he attacks the cyber demon and   the requirement for this achievement is to defeat  a cyber demon with your fists in single player when the berserker pack wears off he changes  his plan and his next achievement is linked to   when he says i do need a gun i need a big gun i  need a really big gun on page 4 of the comic book   the new marine searches for guns  but the only available ones are from   zombies he picks up a chainsaw and says  this ah chainsaw the great communicator   he then uses the chainsaw on some zombies part  of this line was used in another achievement   if we look at page seven in the comic book our  hero gets a hold of the chain gun and he says this   hoy hoy i'm the boy packing 80 pounds of heavenly  joy this line also appears as an achievement name   after defeating an imp with the chain gun the  do marine says oh yeah yeah dig the prowess   the capacity for violence i'm the man i'm super  bad the last two words i'm super bad were used   for another achievement name at the bottom of page  9 he fires off his chain gun while saying this woo   baby i'm burning out of control the last  four words appear as another achievement name   on page 10 a demon catches him off guard and  tackles a do marine before he can retaliate   as they fall together he says this line bad  bad monster both of them fall into a pool   of radioactive waste when he pulls himself out  of that area the do marine mentions the waste   affecting him by saying this now i'm radioactive  that can't be good after he acquires the bfg 9000   he goes back to search for the cyber demon and  on the last page of the comic book he uses it   and wins but also follows up with this line  righteousness and superior firepower has triumphed   the filthy beast is no more part of this  line was used for another achievement name   but the requirements were different depending on  the version of the game you had while the cover   does say number one you would think they might  have more issues after this but all the sources   i read online say that this was a one-time story  so that covers every topic i can think of within   the ancient gods part 1 and part 2 of doom eternal  i did include some theories which could connect to   the story in some way even though the saga of  the doomslayer is over for now there are still   many questions that remain perhaps someday we  might get those answers but if you reach the   end of this video leave the comment made it to  the end and i will heart your comment in return   thank you so much for watching this is carlos  or acid glow and i'll see you in the next video you
