Fun fact: The main reason why the Sentinel people are using old weapon designs like a crossbow is simply because in King Novik's Codex Entry, it is revealed that they don't throw their old weapons, they improve them. Which is why rhey still use spears, halberds, swords, Morningstars, and more ancient designs. Fortress of Doom's codex entry also confirms that the Sentinels do have dimensional travel capabilities. And part VIII in the Story of the Sentinels codex states that it was thanks to Hell Energy that they were able to travel through dimensions. The reason why I know that the Elixir that they were talking about in part VIII is Hell Energy is simply because it was mentioned in Part VI.
@@doctorend4339 The Slayer's Super Shotgun in Doom the Dark Ages is a lever action, and can be reloaded with one hand. I'll be encroaching in speculation here now since we do not have any concrete information as to why his Eternal Shotgun is not a lever action. What the Slayer is using in Eternal is what he scavenged and could fix. The Shotgun likely broke down in Hell during the betrayal years before him being sealed. It likely got cut in two and needed fixing mid battle, and a break action while in the middle of ripping and tearing is the easiest fix. Just puncture a hole in and grab a stick to wedge it in to stay in the fight. Likely during the breaks in his fight, he restored it as much as he could with scraps. He literally told a Demon to craft him his 2016 Praetor Suit, likely because his Dark Age armor is broken. Which means his fight against the Champion Titan really is against him butt-naked. Which is likely why he made his Eternal Armor be eerily similar to his Dark Age armor with the open biceps and the uneven arm armor thickness distribution. Eternal Armor is not just asymmetrical, the Eternal Armor has thicker armor on his left arm because he is used to blocking with his left arm and have a heavier weight on it with the arm blade and the shield. Even the Fortress of Doom is scavenged. It was likely a part of one of those floating citadels that we see in the Dark Ages cutscene, hence why it doesn't have any living quarters and why it's detached with many broken pieces. The biggest hint that the Slayer has been on an scavenger hunt during his time in between 2016 and Eternal is the fact that the Slayer stored his Atlan inside. Likely thinking that he might fix it at some point in time once he gets the correct facilities.
It's kind of funny when you realize that the Doom Guy is purely a one dimensional character that's there to just do one thing. And I'm all for it. I love that all the internality they gave him was "I must kill demons". The whole lore of Doom is built to allow the Slayer to be a one note character by basing it around his hatred for demons being used as a weapon by more complex characters like Samuel Hayden.
@@Yuh_zhimmynope we don’t need him to get ruined like Kratos even though he wasn’t a one dimensional character in the og trilogy.Long story short he’s perfect the way he is
I think the tragedy of the dark age can't be understated, doomguy's war with hell is what ultimately brought the argenta low. he brought it with him, but found a new home and a new people before hell cruelly took it away again. hell has taken more from doomguy than anything else, and ultimately all he'll ever have is his unending battle. his....doom eternal
Doom's lore has always been difficult for me to follow and piece together. You broke it down really well and made it all make sense to me now. Appreciate the time you spent into making this video. I can’t wait for the new game and to slay demons again!
As someone who's massively into doom lore since the Doom Bible days, it makes me happy to see there are more people who are into it. Modern doom lore is basically my roman empire.
getting to play in the age when the shadows first lengthened mentioned in the Slayer’s Testaments is a perfect setting for a prequel. fitting of when Doom Slayer was at his prime the game seems to step back from Eternal’s aggressive air superiority resource management gameplay and more towards classic style arenas and projectile dodging with a pure power fantasy focused arsenal. of course i don’t doubt their still going to challenge you despite this
@DartNoobo yeah I don't don't play video games to read, anyone can read them, but not everyone can make TH-cam videos going into grand detail about every meticulous thing in the story, as well as what the environmental story telling is trying to convey, the game also leaves alot open to the imagination so it's cool hearing skyrionn takes on the purposeful empty holes in the story. Also if anyone can do it, why are you hear watching the video?

In dark age I think we gonna see interaction of slayer more than any Time . What means we gonna go more in depth of his character like his friendship and comradery with sentinels and his grief of losing his brother's and betrayal of his own mentor
@@boney2982 no dark age is after his ascension to God hood codex said after this pwseficly slayer stop talkin . And also dark age possibly in last days of Crusade of sentinels in hell and start and end of civil war of Argenta peoples when makers betrayed sentinels and in end doom slayer and loyal knights betrayed by hell perists and commander valen and trap in hell.
Makes perfect sense. "Before he became a hero, he was a weapon of gods and kings". That alone gives it away. I can easily see this as doomguy working his way up the ranks of the sentenal knights.
I wonder if The Dark Ages will take place pre or post Divinity Machine or if we'll get the power up at some point in the game. Because Hugo have described the gameplay as "Stand and Fight" which could imply that the mobility and verticality would be less than Eternal as you'll play more as an unstoppable tank instead of a demigod, which means that narrative/lore wise his speed is not on the same level as 2016 or Eternal. And judging from the trailer, it does seem like Doomguy doesn't have his godly powers yet and still possess his pre Divinity Machine superhuman attributes. If this is the case, it would be interesting to play a modern Doom game with a Doomguy whose powers are similar to the OG games.
maybe its just after the divinity machine, he gets stronger and faster after every kill thanks to the divinity machine so maybe his divine powers are still in their adolescence but still very strong nonetheless

Alright. I've tried to make sense of the timeline without retconning anything. Probably the biggest leap is the time jump after Doom 64 into the past and onto Argent D'Nur/Sentinel Prime. Before all games The Dark Lord's creations rebel against him, including the power-hungry Maykrs. His realm, Jeddah, becomes the Hell dimension. At some point, The Dark Lord is imprisoned in a life sphere and left in the Blood Swamps as his creations become increasingly twisted and demonic. Later, Hell is inadvertantly discovered by the UAC through experimental teleporation research on Mars. The hordes of Hell invade Sol through ongoing influence of the Dark Lord trapped in his Life Sphere. He continues to manipulate humanity and the Maykrs from this position. Events of Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 64 occur, ending with Doomguy, a descendent of BJ Blazkowicz, deciding to stay in hell. At some point, a portal takes Doomguy to Argent D'Nur at a completely earlier point in this universe's history. He shows promise in the Sentinel's arena, having single handedly beat back the hordes of Hell, and climbs the ranks, while tipping off the Maykrs on the existence of the Hell dimension. Maykrs explore Hell and discover Hell energy, using it to enhance Argent/Wraith energy and allowing them to live forever. The Khan Maykr now never has to relinquish power to a successor, starts to go mad, and begins mutating from living too long. The Sentinel priests become influenced by the Maykrs and this new power and secretly make a pact with the Dark Lord to feed souls to Nekravol to allow the steady flow of Hell energy through ongoing wars. Citizens of Argent D'Nur are still unaware of the extent of the Priests' betrayal. A war begins with Hell. Faced once again with Hell's demons, Doomguy does what he does best and proves to be the Night Sentinel's greatest warrior. Some residents of Argent D'Nur are aware of the power of Hell Energy and join their side. Meanwhile, the Night Sentinels plan the Unholy Crusade. They enter Hell to fight, not knowing they will likely lose. During this battle, Samuel Maykr provides Doomguy with the last use of the Maykr's divinity machine, turning him into a god. Events of Doom: the Dark Ages begin. But this saga will likely end with Doomguy being trapped in the Blood Temple following the Priests' trap. The Sentinels lose the Unholy Crusade thanks to the nefarious Priests, who now reveal themselves as aligned with Hell (and the begin their mutation into demons). The Wraiths are ensalved to ensure Argent energy and Hell energy can continue to flow. Doomguy remains in stasis for 10's of thousands of years until the events of Doom 2016. At this point, history has repeated itself and we're back to an advanced humanity screwing around with hell. This time they're not inadvertantly opening portals to hell. Instead, because Samuel Maykr has been undercover as Hayden, the UAC to purposefully enter hell and find Doomslayer while siphoning hell energy to advance Earth's technology. Being undercover for the UAC also ensures he has the power/resources to explore Hell to find the Doom Slayer (or more specifically, use him to clean up lingering Hell forces, stem the rise of power of the Spider Mastermind, and steal the Crucible). Events of Doom 2016 occur Ending with Hayden thinking he no longer needs Doomguy after stealing his Demonic crucible. Time passes with the Doomslayer in an unknown location, maybe in stasis for a while. At some point Hayden realizes his meddling has become out of hand and brings Doomguy out of stasis/retirement. Doomguy recreates his Maykr space station at some point (the Fortress of Doom), and is observing Earth. As the demons invade just as they did in Doom 2, he decides to get in there and end it. Events of Doom Eternal begin. Doomguy reclaims his weaponry and crucible. He kills the Icon of Sin, again, and goes on this time to use his godlike powers to completely end the saga by killing the Dark Lord after resurrecting him from his Life Sphere.This finally ends the war by effectively destroying the minions of Hell permanently. This of course, also affects Doomguy given his connection to the Dark Lord via the Divinity Machine.
Excellent recap. Though there are a couple of things that I'd like to address (this was based on memory, so take it with a grain of salt): The Khan Maykr had a pretty good reason to use argent energy to ensure she doesn't undergo tranconfiguration (or whatever the process is called). With the Father gone, another Khan Maykr cannot be made. Without her, what would become of her people? "It's your peoples survival against mine." Samuel Hayden went on an expedition into hell to find the Slayer not so that he could ultimately steal to crucible, but because he knew that he was "the only one that could stop them" in the event of something catastrophic happening. Hayden knew Olivia Pierce was being influenced by the Dark Lord, which can be seen during his interaction with her saying "your judgment is no longer considered sound." He needed a contingency plan, and the Slayer was the perfect option. Destroying the Dark Lord destroys all demons outside of his realm specifically (according to the Father), not all demons.
Amazing breakdown... Thanks for this, really got confused by the massive amount of texts in the game. This clear chronologic lore video, makes the game much more enjoyable to know what all locations really are 🎉
Should be cool alright. I'd like to see some more loose ends in the lore tied up, as unlikely as this may be, I'd like a definitive answer as to how Doomguy ends up thousands of years in the past and on Argent D'Nur
Awesome video which lead me to two theories: Skyrionn either studied the doom eternal lore waaaayyy too in depth or he works for ID Software secretly... Also you forgot to mention how the Doom Slayer's chainsaw shield was enchanted by eldritch magic from the holy rabbit, Daisy....
I don't know what your timeline is like and how busy you are, but I think seeing clips of the related testaments and codexes would be great. Same content but regurgitated with the receipts to help the short attention span part of the population understand. Plus it would still be cool. Not a clone video, but maybe a different presentation of a similar take off the Doom lore. Your opinion on this matters to me. You put the time in as a fan of this franchise. My love for this shit began at 9 years old when I first played Doom on the PC...
I knew youd make this video 🤣 Playing through eternal and reading through all the lore i was picking up i wanted so bad to see all this crazy lore happen in a cinematic or a movie or SOMETHING now we're getting a whole fucking game all about it!! So pumped!!!! 🤘🔥!
I wouldn't be surprised if we start the game as a normal human Doom Marine and later on, as the war begins, we become the Slayer and gain our super soldier abilities. At some point in the game, we will be recognized as the hero by the Sentinels, just like in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. It wouldn't be surprising if the game ends with the conclusion of the war and the Slayer returning to Hell, where he receives his Praetor suit from the Wretch before being placed in the sarcophagus. Perhaps the events of the Dark Ages will be the backdrop for Doom 2016's beginning.
Bro, nicely done video!! Liked and subscribed Can't wait for dark ages. I still have to finish eternal. I got about 80 percent of the way thru it and stopped for a few weeks. Now i cant get back into the rhythm of battle and die before i can really move. Probably have to start over, least its angood game!
The story shoukd be Doomslayer becoming wise to the evil plan and developing a way to save the Argenta people. He would open a gate for them to flee to Mars, in another dimension, and wpuld also help them have a way to save themselves through the soul cube. This could tie the entire Doom franchise together and give a lead in to the next storyline
The lore in Eternal is done SO inefficiently, I'm glad someone was willing to slog their way through every codex entry. That was one of the few problems I had with the game. Maybe this game is meant to fill in all of that information more effectively.
Yeah the devs admitted they went a bit too heavy with the codex as lore dumping, mainly because they didn’t want to force people to get fully versed in the lore if they didn’t want to. It seems this time they want to show more
It was a tough one to get my head around at first. Having told the story countless times now, it seems to simple. Still a few holes in the lore though. Hopefully Dark Ages can fill them in.
Seeing that mural artwork of the Argent Civil War really makes me wish the Marauder was a singular entity. Being *THE* Marauder and a constant rival to the Doom Slayer. Like say, every time the corrupted entity was slain, his soul returns to Hell only to eventually return even stronger to be an eternal thorn in the Doom Marine's side. Like someone elsewhere excellently mentioned, something cool like how the Marauder's spirit can never be allowed to rest until he succeeds in taking out the Marine.
I'm excited for this prequel. I really wanna see the fight against the Titan in close up and also how everything went sideways with the corruption within the Maykers.
One question why knights sentnels have their left hand more protected than the right some examples are the marauders the betrayer , king novik and obviously doom slayer
I have onrle question why all the high ranked knight sentinels have their left arm is more protective and more armed some examples are the marauders the betrayer ,king novik and the doom slayer of course
Doom 64 The Lost Levels comes in that role. The Resurrector (sister of Mother Demon) teleports Doom Guy out of hell to abondoned UAC facilities for saving Hell from his anger and rampage. Doom Guy cleans facilities again and find his way back to hell and kill The Resurrector but she manages to teleport him to Argent D'Nur before she dies.
This game is gonna be so fucking good and innovative! Here hoping it gets a sequel because the dark ages of Doom are just to ripe for a one and done. 🔥
Is this DoomGuy/Slayer the same one from the 90's games? Is he just there because his pet rabbit died? Or is there more to it? I would really appreciate the answer!
Didn't the slayer kill the Dreadnought titan that was tearing apart Taras Nabad right after he got his divinity machine upgrade? And the demon conflict had just begun, so it doesn't look like the mech/atlans had been built yet. So it seems like the slayer was able to take down the Dreadnought with just the crucible. I'm most interested to see how they handle massive enemies in The Dark Ages! Excellent recap! Thanks for posting.
Never forget; the reason the Doom Guy is so pissed off and will never stop killing demons.... is that they killed his pet bunny. If there's ever a movie, Keano Needs to play him XD
What do you think about new Fable trailer? I wonder who is the person in the end. Really hope they will bring back Jack of Blades or maybe his siblings.
@@Skyrionn The way he's dressed just gives off Ragnarok Kratos beginning outfit and Skyrim Nord He would probably eventually be considered the 10th divine
I’ve never played any Doom game before. Around Doom Eternal, I heard about some cutscenes and lore and stuff, but didn’t look into it. When last I checked, Doom was about a futuristic company opening portals to Hell on Mars. How the heck have we ended up with other planets and kings and gods and stuff?
in doom 2016 the futuristic company discovers a dimensional rift on mars to hell , this gives mankind access to argent energy (hell's power source) the futuristic company builds a tower to harvest argent energy and send it to earth to solve its energy crisis. they then start sending explorers through the rift into hell in "tethering operations" where they discover tablets detailing the history of hell and a sarcophagus containing the doom slayer as well as recovering samples of demons. The futuristic company is subverted into a secret cult that worship the demons to open a portal on mars via the tower used to harvest the argent energy to begin a conquest of earth. the CEO of the futuristic company opens the sarcophagus and unleashes what is inside to roll back the martian demon invasion. The tablets recovered from hell detalied that the sarcophagus contains the demons ancient enemy - the doom slayer. The doom slayer turns out to be the very marine from the original doom games that was kicked out of hell for being too nasty to contain. When he was expelled from hell he ended up in a parallel universe on a planet called "argent'd'nur" home to the argenta : a human civilization that worship the creators of the multiverse - the maykr angels and are exploring the multiverse and time itself aided by makyr technology. the arrival of the slayer/marine on argent'd'nur is followed by argent'd'nur itself being invaded by the demons. the slayer/marine tells the argenta how to defeat the demons and is inducted into their elite army- the night sentinels. One day hell sends a superweapon , a skyscraper sized demon to argent'd'nur . This demon proves unstoppable until one of the makyr angels is compelled to go against orders from the makyr leader , and places the slayer/marine in a device they called the divinity machine. The machine was supposed to be used to expose a traitor in their midst. What emerged when the marine was placed in it was a transformed warrior -the slayer. The slayer was granted superhuman durability , strength, and speed. This combined with his ferocious hatred for the demons turned the slayer into the ultimate weapon the argenta needed. He immediately slayed the skyscraper sized demon and petitioned the king of the argenta to begin the unholy crusade across the multiverse to eradiacte demonkind. As this war raged the argenta discover if the hell essence in the demons is combined with the argenta's energy source : wraith energy , argent energy is produced. argent energy can cure disease and grant immortality. secretly the argenta leadership caste and the maykrs make a secret pact with the demons to sacrifice argenta to build a argent energy factory in hell itself . the discovery of this unholy deal causes a civil war in argenta society - half of the civilizaion sides with the makyrs and the demons to continute to produce and use argent energy , the other half consider it unholy as to produce it requires human sacrifice to create the hell essence ingredient necessary to produce the energy. This causes the war against hell to explode into a massive cosmic conflict as entire planets are being invaded and harvested to fuel the argent energy factory in hell. The slayer and his faction are completely against the production of argent energy , the truce with hell and the maykr angels that brokered this unholy deal. The doom slayer and his army are then betrayed and trapped in hell during an operation to strike at the argent factory itself and destory it. The slayer is trapped in the sarcophagus during this betrayal and the story of doom 2016 begins.

It is the warrior that makes the weapon great, as they say.
Did they improve the slayers super shotgun to be a lever action or was that the slayer himself?
@@doctorend4339 likely the Slayer did it himself. He is shown to canonically work on his own gear after all

Alright. I've tried to make sense of the timeline without retconning anything. Probably the biggest leap is the time jump after Doom 64 into the past and onto Argent D'Nur/Sentinel Prime.
Before all games
The Dark Lord's creations rebel against him, including the power-hungry Maykrs. His realm, Jeddah, becomes the Hell dimension.
At some point, The Dark Lord is imprisoned in a life sphere and left in the Blood Swamps as his creations become increasingly twisted and demonic. Later, Hell is inadvertantly discovered by the UAC through experimental teleporation research on Mars. The hordes of Hell invade Sol through ongoing influence of the Dark Lord trapped in his Life Sphere. He continues to manipulate humanity and the Maykrs from this position.
Events of Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 64 occur, ending with Doomguy, a descendent of BJ Blazkowicz, deciding to stay in hell.

Maykrs explore Hell and discover Hell energy, using it to enhance Argent/Wraith energy and allowing them to live forever. The Khan Maykr now never has to relinquish power to a successor, starts to go mad, and begins mutating from living too long.
The Sentinel priests become influenced by the Maykrs and this new power and secretly make a pact with the Dark Lord to feed souls to Nekravol to allow the steady flow of Hell energy through ongoing wars.
Citizens of Argent D'Nur are still unaware of the extent of the Priests' betrayal. A war begins with Hell. Faced once again with Hell's demons, Doomguy does what he does best and proves to be the Night Sentinel's greatest warrior. Some residents of Argent D'Nur are aware of the power of Hell Energy and join their side.
Meanwhile, the Night Sentinels plan the Unholy Crusade. They enter Hell to fight, not knowing they will likely lose. During this battle, Samuel Maykr provides Doomguy with the last use of the Maykr's divinity machine, turning him into a god.
Events of Doom: the Dark Ages begin.
But this saga will likely end with Doomguy being trapped in the Blood Temple following the Priests' trap.
The Sentinels lose the Unholy Crusade thanks to the nefarious Priests, who now reveal themselves as aligned with Hell (and the begin their mutation into demons).
The Wraiths are ensalved to ensure Argent energy and Hell energy can continue to flow. Doomguy remains in stasis for 10's of thousands of years until the events of Doom 2016.
At this point, history has repeated itself and we're back to an advanced humanity screwing around with hell. This time they're not inadvertantly opening portals to hell. Instead, because Samuel Maykr has been undercover as Hayden, the UAC to purposefully enter hell and find Doomslayer while siphoning hell energy to advance Earth's technology.
Being undercover for the UAC also ensures he has the power/resources to explore Hell to find the Doom Slayer (or more specifically, use him to clean up lingering Hell forces, stem the rise of power of the Spider Mastermind, and steal the Crucible).
Events of Doom 2016 occur
Ending with Hayden thinking he no longer needs Doomguy after stealing his Demonic crucible.
Time passes with the Doomslayer in an unknown location, maybe in stasis for a while. At some point Hayden realizes his meddling has become out of hand and brings Doomguy out of stasis/retirement. Doomguy recreates his Maykr space station at some point (the Fortress of Doom), and is observing Earth. As the demons invade just as they did in Doom 2, he decides to get in there and end it.
Events of Doom Eternal begin.
Doomguy reclaims his weaponry and crucible. He kills the Icon of Sin, again, and goes on this time to use his godlike powers to completely end the saga by killing the Dark Lord after resurrecting him from his Life Sphere.This finally ends the war by effectively destroying the minions of Hell permanently. This of course, also affects Doomguy given his connection to the Dark Lord via the Divinity Machine.
Excellent recap. Though there are a couple of things that I'd like to address (this was based on memory, so take it with a grain of salt):
The Khan Maykr had a pretty good reason to use argent energy to ensure she doesn't undergo tranconfiguration (or whatever the process is called). With the Father gone, another Khan Maykr cannot be made. Without her, what would become of her people? "It's your peoples survival against mine."
Samuel Hayden went on an expedition into hell to find the Slayer not so that he could ultimately steal to crucible, but because he knew that he was "the only one that could stop them" in the event of something catastrophic happening. Hayden knew Olivia Pierce was being influenced by the Dark Lord, which can be seen during his interaction with her saying "your judgment is no longer considered sound." He needed a contingency plan, and the Slayer was the perfect option.
Destroying the Dark Lord destroys all demons outside of his realm specifically (according to the Father), not all demons.
Not gonna lie your thumbnail game has been stepped up recently + great breakdown !!🔥🔥🔥
Glad you think so!
I listen to your videos when I attempt another Ultra-Nightmare run of Eternal. Amazing background 😁
Oooh, I’m wicked excited for this! 🤯
Hope you like it!
...wicked?
@@Smthn_Wicked wicked
Amazing breakdown... Thanks for this, really got confused by the massive amount of texts in the game.
This clear chronologic lore video, makes the game much more enjoyable to know what all locations really are 🎉
Oh there's so much in the codex and in environmental storytelling. Happy to put everything together
Hell yes, i was waiting for your analysis of this trailer!
It's impeccable that Doom is a fast seemingly "brainless" fps but it has this megadeep lore. I like the lore and I like this juxtaposition.
Should be cool alright. I'd like to see some more loose ends in the lore tied up, as unlikely as this may be, I'd like a definitive answer as to how Doomguy ends up thousands of years in the past and on Argent D'Nur
Awesome video which lead me to two theories:
Skyrionn either studied the doom eternal lore waaaayyy too in depth or he works for ID Software secretly...
Also you forgot to mention how the Doom Slayer's chainsaw shield was enchanted by eldritch magic from the holy rabbit, Daisy....
I'm just an obsessed fan and constantly reads the codex entries... and how silly of me. Daisy is the complete driving force.
It wouldn't be a DOOM game without a Daisy Easter Egg... ( Doom 2016 is excused because it completely changed the FPS genre)
I'm looking forward to it next year, good video skyrionn.
I cannot wait for more lore!
I don't know what your timeline is like and how busy you are, but I think seeing clips of the related testaments and codexes would be great. Same content but regurgitated with the receipts to help the short attention span part of the population understand. Plus it would still be cool. Not a clone video, but maybe a different presentation of a similar take off the Doom lore. Your opinion on this matters to me. You put the time in as a fan of this franchise. My love for this shit began at 9 years old when I first played Doom on the PC...
Yo this collab with dnd finna be crazy
Dayum man,it aint even out yet and the lore is already here
I knew youd make this video 🤣
Playing through eternal and reading through all the lore i was picking up i wanted so bad to see all this crazy lore happen in a cinematic or a movie or SOMETHING now we're getting a whole fucking game all about it!! So pumped!!!! 🤘🔥!
Dark Ages is gonna hit hard
This made me even more excited for the new doom game. 🔥
I think we're all hyped right now!
I am so, Hyped for Doom The Dark Ages! I love playing Doom! 🔥
I'm hyped too! Not too long to wait!
I wouldn't be surprised if we start the game as a normal human Doom Marine and later on, as the war begins, we become the Slayer and gain our super soldier abilities. At some point in the game, we will be recognized as the hero by the Sentinels, just like in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. It wouldn't be surprising if the game ends with the conclusion of the war and the Slayer returning to Hell, where he receives his Praetor suit from the Wretch before being placed in the sarcophagus. Perhaps the events of the Dark Ages will be the backdrop for Doom 2016's beginning.
Been loving your channel, really looking forward to this game and your coverage of it! Sometimes the lore escapes me, so I appreciate it
Happy to explore it for you. I love this kinda stuff and putting it together.
Bro, nicely done video!! Liked and subscribed
Can't wait for dark ages. I still have to finish eternal. I got about 80 percent of the way thru it and stopped for a few weeks. Now i cant get back into the rhythm of battle and die before i can really move. Probably have to start over, least its angood game!
The story shoukd be Doomslayer becoming wise to the evil plan and developing a way to save the Argenta people.
He would open a gate for them to flee to Mars, in another dimension, and wpuld also help them have a way to save themselves through the soul cube.
This could tie the entire Doom franchise together and give a lead in to the next storyline
Doom guy touched me and I’ve never felt so powerful
He did WHAT to you!?
this game franchise is so freaking metal
The lore in Eternal is done SO inefficiently, I'm glad someone was willing to slog their way through every codex entry. That was one of the few problems I had with the game. Maybe this game is meant to fill in all of that information more effectively.
Yeah the devs admitted they went a bit too heavy with the codex as lore dumping, mainly because they didn’t want to force people to get fully versed in the lore if they didn’t want to.
It seems this time they want to show more
It was a tough one to get my head around at first. Having told the story countless times now, it seems to simple. Still a few holes in the lore though. Hopefully Dark Ages can fill them in.
i mean i like reading so it wasn't an issue with me
Excellent video 🤘
Is it possible for you to do lore videos of the weapons and armor on the games you've covered???
Hell of a video mate!
I cant wait for this!!! my favourite game of all time!
A new Doom game is on the horizon. So this type of deep dive lore analysis helps to boost the hype.
I'm so hyped for it.
All I know is that this game will have my money
I’m excited to hear who the narrator is for this game.
Seeing that mural artwork of the Argent Civil War really makes me wish the Marauder was a singular entity. Being *THE* Marauder and a constant rival to the Doom Slayer. Like say, every time the corrupted entity was slain, his soul returns to Hell only to eventually return even stronger to be an eternal thorn in the Doom Marine's side. Like someone elsewhere excellently mentioned, something cool like how the Marauder's spirit can never be allowed to rest until he succeeds in taking out the Marine.
my mind was ripped open damn what amazing lore doom franchise have
If you want the best lore giver, this is the channel for you!!!
I'm excited for this prequel. I really wanna see the fight against the Titan in close up and also how everything went sideways with the corruption within the Maykers.
That Titan fight could be incredible. I'm more excited to see Argent D'Nur before it fell.
I personally would love to see the Wretch being finally shown giving us the Preator Suit we all know and love
That is something we need to know!
Dude your getting a sub
Thank you so much. I needed this
Every commercial for this video has been doom dark ages so its apparent that the slayer approves your work lol
Accidentally clicked on 17:52 - thought Shredder had joined the DOOMverse.
Are you gonna do any more fable lore when the game comes out next year?
I'm unsure but I did cover the trailer!
Never played a single doom game in my life LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You're missing out
You're gonna love them when you playthrough them
This is what I was waiting for!! ❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
I Always Enjoy DOOM Lore!
Awesome Video!
Thanks for watching :D
I had a feeling the super shotgun was sentinel in origin before Eternal came out and I can’t wait to see the other weapons in dark age
One question why knights sentnels have their left hand more protected than the right some examples are the marauders the betrayer , king novik and obviously doom slayer
I have onrle question why all the high ranked knight sentinels have their left arm is more protective and more armed some examples are the marauders the betrayer ,king novik and the doom slayer of course
Another day another great video
Dropping what I can when I can!
bro the game aint even out yet stop
The Dark Ages are mentioned in the other games.
@@Skyrionnnooooooo!!! 😂
Never!!
Yes @@koruzhuv2.087
Watch his Doom Timeline and you'll understand
Not tryna to distract from Dark Age, but they can technically do another prequel of the time Doomguy spent in hell between 64 and Doom 2016
Doom 64 The Lost Levels comes in that role. The Resurrector (sister of Mother Demon) teleports Doom Guy out of hell to abondoned UAC facilities for saving Hell from his anger and rampage. Doom Guy cleans facilities again and find his way back to hell and kill The Resurrector but she manages to teleport him to Argent D'Nur before she dies.
Fast... Forward... =D Thank You... for not withholding any of my knowledge.
This game is gonna be so fucking good and innovative! Here hoping it gets a sequel because the dark ages of Doom are just to ripe for a one and done. 🔥
If this is done well, it's gonna be incredible
Great vid !
Thanks!
HYPE HYPE HYPE
was expecting this video as soon as I saw the trailer, excited to watch the video, and play the new doom game n
Thanks for watching!
Is this DoomGuy/Slayer the same one from the 90's games? Is he just there because his pet rabbit died? Or is there more to it? I would really appreciate the answer!
Yes
Doom eternal practically confirms that it is the og doomguy
he's the og, but they also added some hints that along with his rabbit, his wife and child were also killed
Didn't the slayer kill the Dreadnought titan that was tearing apart Taras Nabad right after he got his divinity machine upgrade? And the demon conflict had just begun, so it doesn't look like the mech/atlans had been built yet. So it seems like the slayer was able to take down the Dreadnought with just the crucible. I'm most interested to see how they handle massive enemies in The Dark Ages! Excellent recap! Thanks for posting.
Bro !!! Are u working for the game ? Cause your detailing is freakin' crazy !!!! Also the thumbnail is fire 🔥🔥
Managed to get myself a good thumbnail guy and nah, I'm just obsessive with the codex entries haha
Can't wait for this ive just done the super gore nest on ultra nightmare that was not easy 😅
Never forget; the reason the Doom Guy is so pissed off and will never stop killing demons.... is that they killed his pet bunny.
If there's ever a movie, Keano Needs to play him XD
What do you think about new Fable trailer? I wonder who is the person in the end. Really hope they will bring back Jack of Blades or maybe his siblings.
I dropped a video not too long ago :)
@@Skyrionn I just watched it. It's super cool! Also, your voice is so charming. It really suits to fable narrative.
"for all your power, you still couldn't save this world from itself.
"Earth will be different."
Great story telling
Doom has been cooking DOOM 2016 DOOM Eternal and THE ANCIENT GODS DLC and now DOOM: The Dark Ages
DOOM fans are getting a full meal maybe even a feast
Butcher: “Oi! Omlander has me wife’s bloody son”
Skyrionn:
I hope we get more datails on the Wretch
SAME!
This is Great 👍
Doom going full on "Curse of Spawn" is the best iDea ever
Once a Marine, Always a Marine.
This game is gonna be amazing
100%
Imagine if the Doom Slayer arrived on Nirn
I love this kinda thing. Happy to explore it and put it into an order.
@@Skyrionn The way he's dressed just gives off Ragnarok Kratos beginning outfit and Skyrim Nord
He would probably eventually be considered the 10th divine
so we still dont know who was preator suit original owner?
nice video love to listen to it.
Well done
Can you do lore on the complete time-line of gods of War norse mythology
No such thing as an Ex Marine. Once a marine, always a Matine.
Hahahaha matine
I’ve never played any Doom game before. Around Doom Eternal, I heard about some cutscenes and lore and stuff, but didn’t look into it.
When last I checked, Doom was about a futuristic company opening portals to Hell on Mars. How the heck have we ended up with other planets and kings and gods and stuff?
in doom 2016 the futuristic company discovers a dimensional rift on mars to hell , this gives mankind access to argent energy (hell's power source) the futuristic company builds a tower to harvest argent energy and send it to earth to solve its energy crisis. they then start sending explorers through the rift into hell in "tethering operations" where they discover tablets detailing the history of hell and a sarcophagus containing the doom slayer as well as recovering samples of demons. The futuristic company is subverted into a secret cult that worship the demons to open a portal on mars via the tower used to harvest the argent energy to begin a conquest of earth. the CEO of the futuristic company opens the sarcophagus and unleashes what is inside to roll back the martian demon invasion. The tablets recovered from hell detalied that the sarcophagus contains the demons ancient enemy - the doom slayer. The doom slayer turns out to be the very marine from the original doom games that was kicked out of hell for being too nasty to contain. When he was expelled from hell he ended up in a parallel universe on a planet called "argent'd'nur" home to the argenta : a human civilization that worship the creators of the multiverse - the maykr angels and are exploring the multiverse and time itself aided by makyr technology. the arrival of the slayer/marine on argent'd'nur is followed by argent'd'nur itself being invaded by the demons. the slayer/marine tells the argenta how to defeat the demons and is inducted into their elite army- the night sentinels. One day hell sends a superweapon , a skyscraper sized demon to argent'd'nur . This demon proves unstoppable until one of the makyr angels is compelled to go against orders from the makyr leader , and places the slayer/marine in a device they called the divinity machine. The machine was supposed to be used to expose a traitor in their midst. What emerged when the marine was placed in it was a transformed warrior -the slayer. The slayer was granted superhuman durability , strength, and speed. This combined with his ferocious hatred for the demons turned the slayer into the ultimate weapon the argenta needed. He immediately slayed the skyscraper sized demon and petitioned the king of the argenta to begin the unholy crusade across the multiverse to eradiacte demonkind. As this war raged the argenta discover if the hell essence in the demons is combined with the argenta's energy source : wraith energy , argent energy is produced. argent energy can cure disease and grant immortality. secretly the argenta leadership caste and the maykrs make a secret pact with the demons to sacrifice argenta to build a argent energy factory in hell itself . the discovery of this unholy deal causes a civil war in argenta society - half of the civilizaion sides with the makyrs and the demons to continute to produce and use argent energy , the other half consider it unholy as to produce it requires human sacrifice to create the hell essence ingredient necessary to produce the energy. This causes the war against hell to explode into a massive cosmic conflict as entire planets are being invaded and harvested to fuel the argent energy factory in hell. The slayer and his faction are completely against the production of argent energy , the truce with hell and the maykr angels that brokered this unholy deal. The doom slayer and his army are then betrayed and trapped in hell during an operation to strike at the argent factory itself and destory it. The slayer is trapped in the sarcophagus during this betrayal and the story of doom 2016 begins.
Doom slayer is just a less talkative goblin slayer on steroids.
Dude, I love your videos, but Valen is the wretch
We'll have to wait and see
I wonder if he will start as the doom guy or slayer.
I can't say. It's make sense for either at this point
