If you haven't yet experienced it, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doom Eternal has a lot going for it. Great gameplay, a pulse-pounding Mick Gordon soundtrack, satisfying to🤡 fire guns, and a roster of demons that keep adding something new to the chaotic stew of First person shooter anarchy.
There is an overarching story that's been going on since way back in the early DOOM games and involves dimension-crossing pseudo-deities, the manipulation of souls on a galactic scale, and bloody demonic war. It all culminates in the Ancient Gods DLC rather satisfyingly, especially if you've been following it since the beginning.
The Ending Explained
Despite all the extra moving parts, the winding down of the Slayer's tale in this particular timeline is relatively simple. It boils down to a big showdown after a spearhead assault into Hell. This is an act that would normally be a suicide mission, but the Slayer comes with an Army, and the other threat of the Maykrs was thankfully subdued.
At the time, the home of this hyper-advanced inter-dimensional race was swamped and struggling under a massive demon incursion after the barrier between realms was worn thin after the conflict on earth with the Icon Of Sin in the main game. So they were a little distracted.
When the events of the first part of the DLC pick up, the Khan Maykr has been destroyed, and hell has thoroughly run a train on Urdak and its inter-dimensional angelic populace. The Doom Slayer and Dr. Samuel Hayden hunt for and then free the Seraphim, which then bonds with Hayden, becomes corrupted with demonic energy, and is defeated and teleported away by the Maykrs 'deity' The Father.
Doom Slayer then summons the species' equivalent of Satan, known as The Dark Lord, which takes the form of the Slayer. This is where Part Two of the⭕ Ancient Gods DLC kicks off.
The Build-Up
The fight between the Doom Slayer and Dark Lord gets postponed, as no blood can be spilt in the Luminarium where he was summoned. They both agree to a showdown in the ancient demonic city of Immora, the place where the Dark Lord first appeared.
The Slayer is then transported to the home planet of the Sentinels, Argent D’Nur. The Sentinel Hammer is retrieved from Valen, the man who betrayed the Doom Slayer millennia ago and helped🐭🉐 the Demons seal away the Slayer.
Before our power suit-clad protagonist returns to Earth to find it once again infested with Hell's Legions. Fighting his way through these monsters, the Slayer eventually finds a way to activate the Gate of Divum and travel to Immora for his showdown with the Dark Lord. The Sentinels also arrive with a massive army at the same time to aid the Slayer, specifically by dealing with Hell's Minions.
The Showdown
During the apocalyptic showdown with the Dark Lord, a great secret is revealed. As it turns out, the Dark Lord is the real 'Father of The Maykrs'. The deity they all worship, who is also trapped in a special storage sphere, is a false one - a fact unsettlingly confirmed by VEGA.
The battle progresses violently, with the two titans knocking each other around like ragdolls. Eventually, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Slayer defeats the Dark Lord. As he dies, all the demons that remained outside the confines of Hell dissipate and disappear into the ether.
The Slayer weakens suddenly and substantially because of his connection to the Dark Lord. He is quickly subdued by Maykr High Priests as he’s placed in a sarcophagus and ꧃stored a🐼way once more.
What Just Happened?
So it’s worth slowing things down for a second because a lot happens in those final moments. For a finale, it’s pretty satisfying. The Maykr city is ruined and they’re functionally set back for a long while - this is good, as Earth is in no state to fight back, but at least they’re united in no longer using demon energy to keep the lights on.
Speaking of, Hell's minions are locked in their burning playground again (for now), and everything seems to have res♐et back to 🐽an uneasy status quo.
The Slayer is also removed from the picture, allowing everyone to pick up the pieces before he rumbles through realms like the proverbial bull in a china shop. It's also a nice mirror of the original sealing, as it was three Hell Priests that put Doom Slayer in his first box, and three Maykr Cultists in the ending of the Ancient Gods Part Two.
There’s also the sudden reveal that the Dark Lord created the Father, The Maykr, and everything in existence
It’s revealed that The Dark Lord was once a being known as Davoth, who, in his quest for immortality millennia ago, created the Maykrs to help him. They would eventually discover how to live forever using demonic energy and souls, but fearing what Davoth could do if he knew the secrets of immortality, they betrayed him.
Davoth was sealed away by his creations, who feared his return and over time turned him into a Devil figure in their belief system.
The Father was just a Maykr that was imbued with Davoths energy and powers to create - one of the ones who helped seal him away - and they altered a few historical texts to cover it all up.
The Slayer was manipulated by the Dark Lord to destroy the Maykrs as revenge for the betrayal of his creations. This is deeply interesting as it adds an almost sympathetic tone to Davoth, as although he may have gone down a dark path, originally there were some good intentions to create a perfect society that would ༺last forever, and he wanted to live long enough to see that.
The Father is left alive at the end of the story, with the two creatures in existence that could possibly have posed a threat taken out of the picture by each other. This opens up the potential for a future showdown when the Slayer comes out of storage. Plus, Hell being leaderless and rudderless will undoubted𒆙ly cause some chaos. We can ꧒only wait and see.
