Doom's Unchained Predator | Doom Slayer | FULL Doom Lore EXPLAINED

The Doom Slayer has gone by many names over the years The Marine, The Unchained Predator, The Outlander and The Hellwalker. The man who ripped and tore his way through Hell itself. This man is the hero of the Doom series and has a deep backstory to go with it where travelled Phobos, Argent D'Nur, Hell and many other regions in the universe.
What connection did he have to the Dark Lord, who was Daisy, and what made him so powerful? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind The Doom Slayer in Doom.

[@AMPYMCSTAMPY]

@@joshjohnson132 I mean, myths are as real as any other story telling method, even a lot of biographies take liberties with the truth to make it more captivating, maybe only slightly, but theres been a few times where i will read a biography and notice that the writer contradicted themselves multiple times. every generation has had its myths and story telling techniques that are unique to them. i wouldnt say books and games and tv are separate examples, as they are distributing methods used to release the product to the audience it is intended for. a book isnt written to be a book, the book is used to contain the story the writer wants to tell. same for games, tv, and even music to a certain extent. many of the ancient myths we see as trying to claim authenticity and truth are usually translations of translations copied between languages countless times over generations and distributed gradually across the world, garnering new meaning with every retelling. so, something that originally could have been intended to be entertainment could be continually retold until people either believe that people thought it was true, or end up thinking it is true themselves. think in terms of the bible, the greek myths, and tales of king arthur. I have met people who just assume king arthur was a real king. he wasnt, obviously. but it is an example of what i am on about. whose to say that once technology used to play games has been grown out of fashion, and we have progressed far beyond the need for consoles to take part in entertainment, and only retellings of the events that happened, such as in videos like this, and the information being translated and reused over and over for millennia, people might think we thought this was real too. i droned on about a topic that fascinates me, so thanks if anyone read this far in, i mean, i have too much free time, haha.

Even after aeons, he still maintains his principles. That’s why he’s such a great character, and not just another Marty Sue.

[@ArthurEverling]

I'd like to add to the part of where the Hell Priests trapped the Slayer in the Cursed Sarcophagus. A lot of people were confused as to why they did it, if he was basically defenseless while he was in stasis, why not just kill him? Because the Slayer, after being blessed by the Seraphim, became a Primeval. Like Davoth the Dark Lord, which is why the Slayer could kill him and vise versa. Primevals in the Doom universe are unmatched in terms of their Powers unless fighting a higher being. The only beings that can kill Primevals are other Primevals or something higher. The reason why the Hell Priests didn't kill the Slayer while he was in stasis wasn't because they didn't want to, *it's that they couldn't if they tried.* So the only way they could see to stop him was to put him in stasis and lock him away. The only fight the Slayer really had to take seriously was the Dark Lord himself, because he was the only one he knew of that could actually defeat him.

@@Skyrionn Indeed, Doom lore is a brain twister for sure. Been playing Doom since 1996 and there's still gaps in my knowledge that I manage to fill through videos like yours. The only problem is most people don't ever include Doom 3 as they think it doesn't fit the Lore, but i've gone in deep lengths to explain how Doom 3 fits perfectly in the timelime, not to mention it came from the horse's mouth that there are many events in Doom 2016/Eternal that tie in with D3.

If I recall correctly the lore of hell implies, they have taken over multiple universes and I think timelines, also that Doomguy/Doomslayer has traveled too an alternate universe version of his own. I think before he got empowered, he was already close or was super human as a marine. Considering you have to be very strong or durable to take fire balls of argent energy which is said to be at the temperature of the sun, also the fact he runs fast at a consistent pace and hold many weapons, even before he gets the enhancements like berserk. If I recall another KZbinr broke down the biology and capabilities of badass incarnate. Also Undoubtedly Doomguy/Doomslayer is the most badass video game character ever made.

He is the Doom Slayer, the Hellwalker The bane of demons, the harbinger of their doom With his trusty weapon in hand, he sets forth To vanquish the forces of Hell and save mankind.

With every swing of his mighty weapon He cleaved through the demonic hordes Leaving a trail of destruction in his wake As he fought to save humanity. The legends of the Doom Slayer are told In hushed whispers, for fear of his wrath. For he is the Unbreakable, the Unchained Warrior The eternal guardian of mankind. His hatred for demons burns like an infernal fire Fueled by the souls they have claimed He will stop at nothing to vanquish them all And bring an end to their evil reign. So let the demons tremble and cower In the face of the Doom Slayer's might For he is the Master of Doom, Unyielding, Unforgiving, Incorruptible He is without mercy. He is the Ultimate Predator A force to be reckoned with, feared by all demons He is the end of all ends, their destroyer. Rip and tear until it is done.

[@dxfan18]

Excellent work, as always. Like you said, it's still a mystery as to how he ended up on Argent D'Nur but many think Hell connects all dimensions and time works differently there, maybe the demons deliberately sent Doomguy there to unwittingly tell the Khan Makyr about Hell, knowing she would want to use it to further her agenda. We know Davoth had his eye on Argent D'Nur when he tricked her into building the divinity machine. It could also explain how Olivia Pierce was suddenly morphed into the half-machine Spider Mastermind, what seemed like an instant to us was actually years of agonizing torture and work to build this super-demon, or maybe I'm just overthinking.

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks buddy! Always appreciate seeing your kind words. I think you have a great point there. The Hell dimension has properties that the developers still haven't fully explored so it is highly likely. I like that idea too! Olivia ultimately deserved what she got but the torture she must have received in the process must have been awful.

[@sunshineskystar]

The thing about the spider mastermind is that it wasn't just Olivia Pearce's soul inside it, but also a piece of the dark lord himself. It says in the codex how it's a union of two minds and before we fight it there's a similar sounding voice ordering demons to kill the slayer before he reaches the spider mastermind's nest.

Final Doom’s brief story beats slot into this pretty well: there being nothing left for Doomguy on Earth after Doom II, he takes a marine command posting around Jupiter's moons, ever alert for the possible threats from the new UAC teleporter experiments. That two smaller invasions happen really solidifies a determination to end Hell in Doom 64, as the demons evidently won't stop trying. And the repeated failure of the teleporter experiments would really ram home a resentment of Hell-linked technology and people like Hayden, as we see in Doom 2016.

The way you say "So..." is making me laugh a bit because it stands out a lot after how much you use it. Great timeline, never considered how well the writers kept a continuity on every game

[@Skyrionn]

It's absolutely one of those phrases I need to cut back on haha. I go through phases of using the same phrases. It was a really tough one to piece together but when layed out chronologically, it works. Soooo, thanks for watching and I appreciate the support!

[@Fifury161]

Great effort - thanks for taking the time to piece this all together!

[@HOOOPER]

brilliant video, im glad someone put it all together in 1 video now that the story is complete

[@penelopehawk6427]

Loved this long video. You always make some of the best lore videos.

[@JarheadsBadBrain]

Good video, you did research and put together a story that was able to be followed without a major headache, thank you.

[@ninjablood123]

Thank you for taking the time to put the canon events together, and to make this video explaining everything.

This is the best comprehensive story overview of the doom series on KZbin!

The definitive Doom lore video is here to stay for posterity. Congrats on the superb content.

[@OmarHyari2009]

Excellent video! The quality, photo mode, and everything is really good. Also 23:04 would make a really good wallpaper, I think doom 2016's hell is the best looking one

[@fuckso2342]

No Doom 3 hell is way better.

[@gekkehenkie0001]

I feel you did an excellent job of tying in all the lore and story lines. Kudos to you

[@ChrisSmith-xg8et]

I absolutely love how you put that the Argent people chanted his war cry thats my favorite part

[@shellgun4636]

Oh my GOD! Thank you for this consolidation of the entire story! I friggin love the story I was able to piece together while playing games Eternal and had always wanted to hear the entire canon in this format, at least for the most part lol. I appreciate you very much and well done! It's not an easy job.

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks for watching! I have a ton more topics to cover too.

[@kanaanmerriken2085]

Man that was a really well made video you have a great story telling way of explaining the lore you constantly kept it interesting and I like how you covered a game with so much lore in a reasonable amount of time just a good video imo

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks bud. There's more to come too!

this is so gosh darn good, thank you so much, i've been waiting 20 years for this story

Amazing work, played all the dooms for hundreds of hours , never occurred to me there was a story behind it all . .well done.!

[@fenixarges]

Doom 3 and The Resurrection of Evil might be the link as the Marine in that game requires the Soul Cube to take down the Cyber Demon and was either destroyed or trapped between dimensions to seal off access to the human realm. Considering that the Soul Cube is a vessel of sorts, it is quite possible if it were trapped between realities, that it could very well have acted as a transferral point for the Doom Guy/Doom Slayer leading him to wind up on Argent D'Nur. However, this is if we consider that the events of Doom 3 take place in a separate universe and were transpiring in parallel to the others.

[@jabberwocky950]

This was the most amazing explanation of the Doom Slayer and the DOOM games that I have found, I already knew a lot of this through the wiki and actually watching and playing the games, but if you don't know very much then I definitely recommend this video 😊👏👏

[@Hyperion-5744]

Your lore videos are some of the best on youtube. Keep up the great work skyrionn.

[@gillbell]

Exceptional story telling of a convoluted universe. By far the best explanation on YT of Doom.

​@@travisvanalst4698An acquired taste that I admittedly admire, though.

The best doom lore video on KZbin and so easy to follow. Thank you.

Amazing video. I never got into Doom, so I didn't know that it had such fascinating lore.

[@Skyrionn]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be covering more Doom too!

[@karthikdecibel]

Thank you for making this video, it has been ages since i saw a full 40 min video. My journey with doom began in year 1996 when i played shareware doom. Stitching all this story with proper research is a big task. Thank you so much for making such a great video !

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks for watching it! I have other videos about Doom too! Check them out in the Playlist :)

[@arifkhan1202]

Great work brother compiling all the games and stories. This is the best video available explaining all events.

[@MrLim-wq2gn]

The Doom Slayer is the most Badass Character in the DOOM Series. He is one of my favorite Silent Protagonist.

[@Novahri]

These videos tickle my videogame lore loving brain. Looking forward to more videos on Doom and any other franchise/game you choose to cover

I'm glad I can help in some way! I love making these videos and appreciate you watching them.

dude, thank you. i remember when the first Doom came out and i always wondered about backstories and how everything fit together since then. this was awesome!

As a wise man once said, "I AM NOT TRAPPED IN A FACILITY WITH ROBOTS, YOU ARE ALL TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!" but now its demons but ya know

The DOOM Slayer was not trapped in hell. Hell was trapped with the DOOM Slayer!

Great lore and well put together! Thanks fot that! Love the connection to BJ Blazkowicz too!

[@SHARKNADO_2006]

people that criticize the story of DOOM just have no idea what's going on. This story is awesome.

[@fdsbot]

This is a fantastic video! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@phoxytwicks]

Genuinely well done on this, really enjoyed it. :)

[@crazydud2432]

I had always assumed the slayer must have followed the demons through a portal on a raid of another world (argent dnur) and since they realized there had a chance to regroup they did just that before trying to launch an attack with the titan to take down the slayer for good. obviously it failed terribly The only major contradiction in this video is that the slayer kills the icon of sin before he makes to to argent dnur and before the guy there even knows about the demons to make the pact about his son. Just about every Doom lore video explains the lore in the order it was released but I really want to see a chronological telling, starting with the dark lord. One big detail that was missed was the doom slayer didn't just absorb some energy from the dark lord in the divinity machine but he was actually created by him directly. the dark lord tells the slayer "you are my vengeance" he had created this scheme to get revenge on the father for betraying him and by extension the makyrs as well. I don't believe this franchise is over quite yet. hell has been sealed but isnt exactly dead yet. more importantly however, there are several unanswered questions, namely everything going on with the wraiths. the corpses of just 3 wraiths where able to solve the energy crisis on earth, in the dlc we see a crystalline spear of unknown origin holding thousands in hibernation. where did it come from and what malevolent forces will follow? we've seen the power creep, and we have an entire race that has the potential to keep up with it. despite the dark lord creating the known worlds, the wraiths are said to come from somewhere entirely unknown, there are likely other gods out there.

[@TheBluePhoenix008]

Always love to find an underrated creator

[@Skyrionn]

Thanks kind of you! I'm hoping the algorithm treats me a little with this one.

[@TheBluePhoenix008]

@@Skyrionn the video is well made and the thumbnail is cool and all, but the hell is going on with that title? Honestly the only reason I clicked on the video was cause I saw the thumbnail and "doom lore" on it. Maybe make it a little shorter and to the point and see if that helps.

[@_Tomon]

Excellent job on this one. Really well pieced together.

[@Skyrionn]

Thank you! There's more Doom content to come soon too!

[@kemoni221]

Great lore summary. I really like Doom's lore, in part due to videos like this one. Thanks!

[@barral69]

Thanks for this video. Nobody I've talked to ever really thinks of Doom as anything but a pure violence video game to get your bloody kicks. But while it IS that...lol, they miss the fact there is a story there. And it's a god damned heartbreaking one at that. How much suffering and pain can one person go through? Is a person built for the sole purpose of suffering? These are questions that come up when playing this game. But it gets missed or glossed over for the combat.

[@pinklightninggacha]

There was a sarcophagus in doom 3 which I believe was the slayers it's not the same design as shown in 2016 and eternal but the description for it matches up it's said to hold a hero and the slayer is a hero the design suits that era though

[@alanmontero373]

I love the way that you tell the story as a story, instead of a videogame

[@budtloper1]

Never was a 1st person pov fan but this was a great video about an iconic character. Awesome.
