The Slayer's Armor- Lore of the Praetor Suit

[@cascadianrangers728]

@@eclipsifyplays I like to play around with a shooting and editing video a little bit too and it is just amazing how much work it takes to produce just a little snippet of decent quality video, That's never just the video there's always a soundtrack and a and a vocal element and musical accompaniment at lighting and composition and it's just endless! This whole long video with lots of lore, and just getting all the gameplay footage and everything and must have been a major ordeal! I'm surprised it didn't take you longer, it's obviously a labor of love

[@ArianaSparling-ti9dt]

I like how you try to get the Doom lore correct, but you made 1 mistake. In the Doom series DoomGuy (before he became a night sentinel), his earth was destroyed, making him the last human ever as his family and his pet rabbit were brutallly murder. And this was before he had became a god to survive the amount of years he spent slaying demons

[@eclipsifyplays]

[@dylanphilpott8698]

Yeah what he said

[@Superstrudelmoosievids]

@millo7295that’s not lore accurate

[@norussian356]

Fun fact the armor isn't as powerful as his skin and also should be stated that it is confirmed that the doom slayer infuses his weapons with his power which means he could go to a random store that sells guns buy a glock or something and can go slay gods

[@eclipsifyplays]

He could have ripped off the Dark Lord's head with a pool noodle if he felt so inclined

[@magnusm4]

Doom Slayer flings a rubber band dealing critical damage. Also love they finally acknowledge how power shows makes weapons and armour useless compared to fists and infusing power.

[@Petroleum-x5h]

No. he does not "infuse" weapons. the only reason some came to believe this is because they misinterpreted a brief interaction in the UAC atlantica gameplay stream with Hugo Martin and Josh Boyle at timestamp 2:42:40. a guy in the chat asks if the doom slayer can store the quad damage powerup and activate it on command to aid himself in killing harder enemies. but for some reason Josh discards the original question and makes a totally incorrect summary as follows: "so the question is: is he absorbing strength from fallen enemies?" which leads to Hugo ONLY confirming what was stated in doom '16. "that was in the fiction in 2016; yeah i think he does" therefore the original question which was asked wasn't even the one which was answered. anyways, theoretically even if the slayer DID have the ability of storing quad damage, the damage amplification would only be by a magnitude of 4.

[@Petroleum-x5h]

secondly, the slayer's actual body is weaker than the suit. we know this because the doom slayer is covered in scars at the start of doom '16 and he littered mars with his blood, samples of this blood were retrieved from the site and studied by the ARC. Also, the doom 2016 siphon grenade is designed specifically to heal the doom slayer's wounds by sucking energy from foes from a distance, rather than the slayer needing to get up close to a combat target to do so.

[@TaylorK-nn1cs]

Some of that seems a bit inaccurate. The slayers blood is from his first romp...pre God infusion. Also Id be hard pressed to find any statements or lore to back it (pretty sure it exists though...) but doom slayer does infuse his weapons. Otherwise standard uac weaponary wouldn't do much agianst demons.

[@keganmemestar4465]

This is less of an amour analysis and more of a lore recap, which is fine because you did a great job at condensing it into a 30 minute KZbin video.

It is the lore of the armour and not analysis of the armor

Fun fact: Doom Guy's name is, according to John Romero himself, _literally_ Doom Guy. First name Doom, second name Guy. If that doesn't show you how tongue in cheek the Doom universe barring 3 is, nothing else will.

[@khalilpontikes7293]

I hate to be that guy but I wouldn't take this statement seriously regarding the new games and new lore. It's true regarding when Romero worked on the games, but he doesn't work on the games anymore and doesn't gave much input on new lore but it'd possible Id Software could still honor that.

Regarding Samuel / Samur reveal in Eternal, from what I understand Samuel was still a brilliant man who cheated death, it's just that the Seraphim transferred his consciousness into a human body that being from the Hayden family, and he still lived as a human and still got cancer but he still cheated death. I'm not sure when Samuel started to remember he was the Seraphim but I'd imagine it was probably when he learned he could transfer his consciousness into a robotic body.

[@MatthewCobalt]

Coincidental, but it's the Doom Series. Coincidences are what gave a single guy the ability to beat Hell into submission.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

To be honest, I still try to wrap my head around the sudden change of things between the end of 2016 and Eternal.

[@BattleBrickState]

For me I think Samuel regained his consciousness after stealing The crucible from the Slayer. Or he could have been Samur the whole time. But I still don't get why he was helping humanity getting argent energy since he's not loyal to the Maykrs.

[@khalilpontikes7293]

@@BattleBrickState Samur was loyal to the Father so I think he had somewhat of an interest in helping humanity however I also think Samur/Samuel also wants to be seen as a hero, which is another reason he helps humanity, or at least tries to.

I still love the detail that the doom slayer doesn't respond to the Dark Lord's request until AFTER he's struck the final blow. His "No" is made even more powerful because he said it after he "struck his creator down" The Doom Slayer is a man of his word, literally, singular word.

27:16 I knew Davoth was actually the OG creator, but for some reason for a long time I couldn't find any confirmation even though to me it seemed obvious from how the game explained it, yet so many places still considered "vega"/"father" as the original creator.

[@khalilpontikes7293]

TAG2 lore states that Davoth was the real original creator, TAG1 lore was designed to mislead you, The Father betrayed Davoth as he felt he was going too far and after he basically rewrote history to say he was the creator and that instead Davoth was his most loved creation. When in reality Davoth was the real creator. It's why Davoth says to the Slayer "they lied to you Slayer".

[@anonimus370]

@@khalilpontikes7293 Thats what I've picked up while playing, yes, but for some reason for a while after TAG2 was out it seemed like most places still considered Father the OG, cuz anytime I googled it to confirm my conclusion i'd find recent articles be like "nah, father was the creator fam"

Man I remember playing the original Doom for hours and hours when it first came out...my mom was an accountant that worked for huge corporations so she had been using and working with computers since they ran off of punch cards! Because she needed it for work and stuff, my mom was a very, very early adopter of home computers, and because the company was paying for it, she had a really really sweet top of the line system. I don't remember what the details are cuz I wasn't that interested you know I was pretty young, but we had a much, much better computer than the average user or even enthusiast, so all my friends came over and even people from school I didn't even know because they wanted to get in on some slaying and f*** some demons up! This is literally the only time in my entire childhood I was cool and popular at school, I was for like a couple months maybe, but Doom is fucking awesome! I played a couple of the sequels too and I didn't know any of this stuff! Fantastic research!
