Doom's Betrayed Dark Lord | Davoth | FULL Doom Lore 

I have this game.

I’m here two weeks later and it showed up in recommended 😃

So what I'm getting is that this father character is a huge moron that is either directly or indirectly responsible for nearly every tragedy in the DOOM universe. Instead of giving Davos the immortality solution he searched for, he hid his results for centuries so he could build weapons to use against Davos because he feared Davos would tear the universe apart looking for a way to halt death? Then after betraying Davos and sealing him in a dimension, defeating him in battle and tearing out his soul in order to steal his powers the Father then decides to keep him around out of sentiment rather than finishing the job? WTF! You have already done the worst thing you possibly could have to Davos, why not finish the job and save the universe from the Dark Lord? Then as an added cherry on top, after making his species the apex species in the universe and its prime defender AGAINST the Dark Lord and his species completly dependant on HIM for protection against the dark lord's mind fuckery the Father THEN decides to up and vanish on his people without warning for......reasons? Its like the Father was TRYING to make as big a mess a he possibly could on the way out the door.

Hey great job with your video r kid 👍🏽

Given Doom's popularity it probably won't be hard to get it to the algorithm with a few more videos

Thats why the Doomslayer is based af

Yeah let's just forget about the family photo he had in the Fortress of Doom and act like Taggart was killing of Hell only bc of his pet bc who cares about son and wife right? Pets are way more important...

@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone You realize the Doom books are fan fiction, right?

@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone it's all for the memes so chill about it.

MR. NIBBLES!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!

Ikr! Pretty risky move

It still is... 👀

I cannot wait to explore Doom Guys story.

@@DHGxMcFlurry it’s cooler if you only mention the bunny tho gives doom guy a John wick vibe

@@DHGxMcFlurry Yeah he not only lost his pet rabbit but also his entire family including his wife, and his son.

Some of you are missing the point, which is that the original game was just a fun shooter without much care for any deep lore. Now it is impressively deep.

Ong that is ice cold🥶💯

The best, ultimate F-You he could give him. 😎

He was living when he said it dummy

@@Archon3960 it would have been better ifwould have just said F you

@@seansullivan7928 he still struck him down cope+ratio+L

Didn't want anything from him they thought he was going crazy and would destroy reality

@@madmank7881 It's a classic self-fulfilling prophecy. They met their fate on the path they took to avoid it.

So like hell Boy and golden army the humans had a hole in there soul that could never be filled.

@@madmank7881 that was a lie told by the maykrs the same people Davoth created.Maykrs lied about Davoth being created by the father.in the end the maykrs were willingly torturing humans sending them to hell to be immortal. Keep in mind the khan maykr struck a deal with a dark lord in the codex to make all of that happen. The khan maykr wanted immortality for herself and in the codex it states that only one can be influenced by the dark lord if they are corrupted.

​@@Znull I fucking love the idea of God and heaven being an evil empire ascended through cruelty and just essentially space fascism mythologizing itself to be perceived as divine. creation owes nothing to it's creator.

Does that mean he still has that power, even after Davoth died?

@@XanderFenikkusu I believe so, yes. I think Hugo says it’s more like him being sealed away until he’s needed again. Because even though he’s the ultimate protector, he still causes massive amounts of damage (also important to remember that Davoth was meant to be the dark reflection of Doomguy, a reminder of if he ever lost himself in his rage) and with his purpose complete it’s best that he’s sealed.

@jeanpaulantoine1206 is it more like he absorbed some of the hell energy from the first time he fought against hell? Like him killing a imp caused some hell energy to go to him and him slowly getting stronger? That would explain his strength before the divinity machine.

It’s my head canon is that doom slayers body is davoths original body that the father dropped over the cliff after ripping his soul out

Doom Eternal story is just a bunch of badly written retcons.

So by chance the doomslayer is the recarnation or a genetic copy of the davoth?

@@Dualbladedscorpion7737 No, they're just both Primevals and apparently that's why the look the same.

Yeah, I think he missed a lot of context and history with the Elemental Wraiths as well. Hell was unable to muster the power to breach into other dimensions before the capture of the Wraiths. Capturing the three wratihs D'nur had was a huge lynchpin of DOOM lore. And the implications of the the Wraiths, as well as what Davoth is, once it is revealed that the Worldspear that pierces Argent D'nur was actually a ship or structure to house MILLION of Elemental Wraiths kept in stasis (The same wraiths as the 3 that were known to inhabit D'nur and were later captured by Hell. The same wraiths that just with their voices alone were able to create life on Argent D'nur from almost nothing, as well as supercharge the growth and development of said life into impossibly titanic forms as well as effectively letting the smarter species do ACTUAL MAGIC) is kinda huge too. Same with the Slip gates found inside the core of mars, a technology that was used in the background lore of Quake.

What's a primeval?

but he looks (mostly) the same as he did in the last games

He allowed the death of billions of people for years, not a good guy

While He may have had a point but his actions costed allot of innocent lives

@@Dualbladedscorpion7737 Ah but he ended the Maykrs who through their actions and the actions of the father lead to more deaths as they created him therefore responsible for him and also no doubt killed others after that. Thus by killing them and himself he's wiped the slate clean, this is ofcourse a headcanon of why he did what he did

Yeah, I gotta mention the universal genocide part. X/

@@Archon3960 We all do a little trolling in our time

A sad sentiment

Betrayed because they thought he would be a threat to all life if he had gained the key to immortality to all creation. In a way, they caused that fear to come true

@@titan133760 but in reality he's the one that created it.

Oh dammit! Maybe i'd have actually been interested in this guy otherwise

wait if that happened. we would have Doom eternal's version of The Maledict from Doom 3?!

@@jonalbertlafuente9805Probably

A Dragon you say, hmmm now where have I heard that before (Insert Book of Revelations)

The dude took hiding in plain sight to the extremes

YESSSS

Morgoth: ................

@@Faus4us Morgoth: I'm gonna give away my hateful power like candy bars to my followers, and let this powerful spider thing drink tree energy: what on Arda could go wrong?

It took so long to try and piece everything together too! I am planning on doing a Doom Slayer video where I'll have to go through some of the theories on how the games connect. I believe at the end of Doom 64, he was sent to a different dimension and back in time. Otherwise, it just wouldn't work. Thanks for watching :)

I think it is a multiple reality situation where there are multiple universes playing out the same but on different timelines with the hell dimension being the only thing that connects them. Hell is the tree The universe's are the branches

@@brokefangmagepunk3685 That might make sense, since Jekkad/Hell was the first world to be created. Still, it's not how I would have written it. I love Doom but the story had so many weird plot twists and revelations you'd think Vince Russo was writing it (you'd have to be a wrestling fan to get this reference)

Something pulled him out of Hell after he slayed the Sister Resurrector. Both could be true (Hell Shenanigans. Time traveling and dimension hopping is a thing for them)

Well, time flows diffrently in hell. He could've spent there millions of years, while on earth it has been only a few...

He’s one of the villains you feel bad for and want to see him succeed.

Yeah no, he was not God, he was a primeevil, and the primeevil are so powerful that only one can exist in each dimension, the real god is The Father who transformed himself into the Vega.

@@samuelsouza3054 The Father was not "the real god". Vega was made by Davoth and betrayed him. Even Vega himselfs admits it at the end of second DLC and it is stated through many parts of the game that this story of Davoth being just an evil and the Father being god was a lie made up by Vega / Father himself.

@@Turboman_64One of the objectives of Vega is to keep an eye on Davoth in his dimension, dosen't make any sense to say that Davoth created him. God was the one who banish Davoth to hell, after that he gave up his physical form to be Vega to help humans, and to keep an eye on Davoth, and Samuel Hayden who calls himself the creator of Vega is a Seraphin.

@@samuelsouza3054 Look up the entire lore and history. It is convoluted because of this betrayal double down thing. In the beginning i didn't get it either, but there are wikis and videos that explain it really good from start to finish.

- "Khan Makyr, are we the baddies?" - "Nonesense, little drone! We are following tradition." - "I'm not sure it was in our traditions to make a deal with Hell." - "SUSH! Tradition!"

He's on the list :) Thanks for watching!

Somehow I can see the G-Man fit in the Doom story. Maybe the Seraphim was the G-Mans employer. Event the Vortigaunts would fit into this story.

Awesome username, do you own a dog house?

Ollie

​@@Flowxing The demons invaded worlds, so in a way, the vorties could also have been subjugated by the demons.

He's probably gonna be my next video tbh

Source?

@@eliphas_vlka Corrax Entry 7:17 "May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.” The Corrax is pretty much a prophecy Bible foretelling everything that's to happen in the Doom universe, the final Corrax entry at the end of the game is basically telling us that the battle isn't over. And the Prophetic Tree of Doom 2016 explains of Samuel Hayden returning and him becoming a bigger threat than Davoth was in the future.

@@eliphas_vlka And by looking at Doom 2016 the Doom Slayer awoke from his sarcophagus the same way he was sealed again to rest at the end of Doom Eternal. Also by going by what the Prophetic Tree said in 2016 Davoth couldn't have been the actual True God of the Doom universe like everyone thought, because his death was also supposed to have killed The Father, Samur, the God Sphere's in Ingmores Sanctum, as well as the Ancient Gods, because Devoth created them as well. But as we can see the Ancient Gods are the ones who sealed the Doom Slayer in the final cutscene at the end of Doom Eternal. But the Prophetic Tree was the biggest give away that the Doom Slayer didn't die, and by Father stopping Doom Slayer from killing Samur they fulfilled a piece of the Prophetic Tree's prophecy. And now that the Doom Slayer is sealed, the Demonic Crucible is left unguarded at the Fortress of Doom which also fulfilled another piece of the Prophetic Tree's prophecy about Samur using the Demonic Crucible to beat both the Doom Slayer and the remaining Demons in Hell, Samur also knows that the Demonic Crucible is at the Fortress of Doom he actually seen it there in person during the game. Just listen to the Prophetic Tree on RU-vid from Doom 2016 and it'll all make sense for you.

@@eliphas_vlka it is never mentioned either that Davoth created everything. He is known for making Jekkad and Urdak. The 'One' who made Terra(Earth) and the Wraiths who are responsible for the rise of Argent DeNur remains a mystery.

@@kelmorian178 basically davoth is the first being who was born he is the god but there is a higher being which is life itself

I think he was fine with it. It appeared he had honour. Davoth is a great villain/ victim - depending on your viewpoint.

@@Skyrionn The Dark Lord has a Code of Honor(like a Samurai Warrior) and he respects the Doom Slayer for giving him a Good fight in ritual combat.

not everyone needs a redemption arc

Wow, thank you! That's high praise!

Although he remains dedicated to Destiny 2 lore, Byf did create a very good beginning lore series himself. Both of you should check it out on his channel: My Name is Byf.

The codex entries are FULL of lore and the universe is so vast. I'm planning on making more too!

Glad you like them!

The father (vega) took it from him

Often in mythologies beings lose their power as they use it.

The Father and others (Primevals maybe?) took it. There were numerous Life Spheres in Ingmore's Sanctum if I remember well.

It was probably locked away within him after his having spent untold aeons as nothing but a soul sphere. Then again, maybe Davoth just didn't want to fight his perfect weapon that had just given him the revenge he had so long sought. Perhaps all that power was still right there and he just let the Doom Slayer win.

Vega took it along with the third party as his son was as well involved with higher powers that as well played a downfall in davoth's grace.

Tell me, do you bleed?

@@mado-wh4jvcorruption does it all. Once in the past, Davoth was good, but he became obsessed with immortality. The makyrs prevented a catastrophic future where possibly the Jekkadians would kill every single creature outside their domain to fulfill their need. The father tried to spread his word across the universe in an attempt to avoid mortals following the same path Davoth was on. In my opinion Makyrs were the true heroes before being corrupted.

@@Coplife.24h Was the khan makyr not doing the same thing davoth was doing BEFORE her corruption like the whole getting old and dying thing davoth had a issue with she did as well

@@Porona Of course she didn’t. She wasn’t seeking immortality, she accepted her fate as the last Khan. So they were traveling across the universe only to be worshipped as gods and be remembered. The discovery of Argent energy changes it all when the demons invaded Taras Nabad pursuing the doomguy. That was the moment when she was corrupted.

I'm glad it helped. The Lore of Doom is confusing but great when you get your head around it

That's very kind. Thank you!

Thanks bud for watching! There's more Doom to come!

...this doesn't change anything though. Doomslayer is still the good guy (as good a guy a blood thirsty personification of rage can be). Davoth was betrayed for good reason.

These gods were made By the father but ultimatly corrupted By davoth, so the father locked Them Up with him all together. The father Had stolen the creation of davoth, so By killing the father there is no creation power anymore and By killing davoth there is no leader and power anymore to make hell break free. Since argent Energy is the only source to make Not Immortal things Immortal you need hell for it to be produced but hell ist ultimatly locked Up now and dying. Everything goes cold now. So these "gods" maybe resurected but they wouldnt be able to stop the ends of the worlds. They cant create and being less than davoth they cant enter or fully control hell. Therefore are Not able to create argent Energy in an amount to stop the decay of Things. So there is technicly No need for the Doom slayer to ever come back. These gods will loose their power over time. Everything will end at some point. Its the ultimate win from davoth. He started Everything and with him dead everything will vanish at one point. He was probably the only being that could have been able to gain creation power again but He choose not to try this but end the cycle with the help of the Doom slayer By comiting suicide. He was basicly killed By himself. By His own creation that used His own power essence.

Thanks bud! I appreciate it!

Thanks bud! There's more to come!

Because he was in human form, and he was fighting someone who was physically his equal. The doomslayer wasn't immortal, and didn't have creationist power, but physically, he was a god. It's like two people boxing, but one of them is also a master composer and musician. Doesn't really help him in a boxing match.

He needs immortality for rabbits

A virtually indestructible being of immense dark power and rage, locked away in the Temple of Souls - sounds familiar - not his "brother"s keeper but close :) "Anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. -- Genesis 4:15

I agree

Much appreciated! There's more to come

Noted! I'll do my best to do more

No problem! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

it’s explained in the codex in doom eternal that the “dark lord” that olivia pierce was conspiring with was actually one of the hell priests, which makes a lot more sense on why olivia was told to never open the sarcophagus as the doom slayer later kills him within the events of doom eternal. the dark lord could also be referring to other beings that she spoke with in hell, such as the beings that put the doom guy in the sarcophagus in the first place. i’m sure that after she translated from the helix atom that she also realized the true nature of the doom slayer and what that would mean for her plans.

I have a HL2 Lore playlist too! I love the OST as much as I love the Doom OST. I do hope one day we get a new game in the Doom series that can fill in some of these plot holes

Thank you! There's more to come

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the voiceover in this one but I'm glad you liked it

It was a confusing topic but I'm glad we got there
