The Dark Ages take up a pretty significant part of The Doom Timeline with several important moments that occur. These were the arrival of the Outlander, the start of the Unholy Wars, The creation of The Doom Slayer in The Divinity Machine, and The Civil War between those who followed The Maykr and those who followed The Wraith.

With the announcement of DOOM: The Dark Ages, we explore the setting, time and important events that occurred during the dark ages of Argent D'Nur. When is The Dark Ages actually set and how important will it be to the timeline? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind The Dark Ages in Doom.

    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.
  • 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.

    So hyped for more doom lore!!!

    Also, I loved when the Makyr angel says "Welcome home, Great Slayer" when he first gets back to Argent D'Nur
  • Been waiting for your breakdown bro. Man’s to accurate with the lore.🙏🏼🙏🏼
  • @farquarwion4324
    This channel is too goated 😭😭😭 i would never understand the lore as a whole without you frfr.
  • @jakedge3
    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
  • @wyrdstrangeness
    Damn man, you've gone deep into the lore. Thanks for this, I can't even get myself to read most of the texts providing background on Doom's story.
  • @jess648
    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
  • @Landscape_
    As an Argentinian i feel touched by this story
  • @deus1521
    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
  • @dell988
    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.
  • @troutfish8590
    My man is the Vaaytividya of Doom lore.

    Awesome video.

    Sounds like this is right on point with what the devs have said so far about the setting.
  • @pokeguy1p
    I like the fact that, no matter what game he covers, he still uses triage at dawn in the end of his vids
  • @dxfan18
    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
  • @devonmarr9872
    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
  • @electron_shell
    If you haven't played since Eternal: SIGIL II came out in December 2023. Free add-on for classic Doom made by John Romero. Something new to channel your hype energy into :)
  • I listen to your videos when I attempt another Ultra-Nightmare run of Eternal. Amazing background 😁
  • @EvilMike349
    Hell yes, i was waiting for your analysis of this trailer!
