Quake Lore: The Complete Story of Quake 1 - The Mother of All Monsters (Part 3) 

I had always expected the quake and doom lore to be tied. The teleporters to Mars and Hell just being the same/similar tech as the Slipgate. I figured hell is just another realm, one equally horrifying to the ones Ranger visited in Quake. Had Ranger gone through enough gates he could have popped up on Mars. Too bad no one would be there yet.

"A pile of letters for a pile of tentacles!" - Ranger

such a shame you didn't use the first two expansions, i really like them because they show Ranger's endless determination, as he seemingly jumped at Quake's realm twice, consecutively, to stop each new evil plot. But the vids are pretty damn good, amazing presentation, so i hope you guys can go from Q1 to 2/4 (alongside the Call of the Machine one, which has some ties to 1) and finally 3/Champions.

Alright brother excellent work! I truly had no idea Quake was this deep. And I had forgotten just how fun the first 2 games were. I downloaded them on gamepass cos of your videos 😂 I also shared your vid on my twitter, hopefully get some more eyes on you because you definitely deserve it. Glad you're using the hashtags.

I cannot wait to see more of Quake lore! Saddly I cannot play the games for myself, but I love to watch videos such as this to keep up with the lore! Nice video! Very well made, explendid editing and good pacing! I only wish the videos were longer!

Although the AI voices of this series at first threw me off, I can tell a lot of passion and effort went into editing these videos. Hearing the lore snippets from Q1, QC, and the comics being voiced grew on me and you presented it in a really nice, narrative way instead of lore dumping a bunch of facts, which was really pleasant to watch. Overall, glad you made this series and happy to see Q1 lore getting some love.

I found your channel from the DOOM 3 video and I gotta say I love the videos like these! Your channel absolutely deserves to blow up. The amount of work in these videos is just phenomenal. I'd absolutely love to see a dive into the lore of the War against the Strogg IE Quake 2/4 and even ETQW or possibly diving into more stuff involved with Quake Champions! Regardless of the content I'm definitely looking forward to more lore videos.

Thrilled to catch this in the first half hour, your work is awesome and I love the whole presentation.

Can not wait till the next episode, im curious how from this we get introduced to the Strogg and Stroggos.

Now I’m beginning to wonder if the 1st Quake is in the same universe as H.P. Lovecraft’s stories… Either way, I now want a movie on Quake with all this fascinating lore.

This is incredible I'm watching your videos and they are high quality productions I love the camera tricks in using in game footage it's incredible and I love quake thank you for these incredible videos keep em coming

Awesome! Need more like that 🔥

you are killing it with these!

I do hope we get a new game that advances the story of Ranger, and maybe have connections to Quake 2 and maybe 4 so we can finally learn what happened to Bitterman, cause I don't believe that Bitterman's Quake 3 bio to be canon.

These videos are amazing!

In DreamQuest of Unknown Kadath it is implied that gods of Dreamlands are mere puppets in Elder Gods hands and tentacles :). Randolph was on a quest being led to non other than Nyarlathotep himself. But his quest was futile from the beginning. It is the same with Ranger. His Game was a test how good an entertainment he would be for the Gods. Gilman and Visor are also being 'played' with...but differently.

Quake is just a different dimension of doom. Basically another version of the doom guy

First comment, I really want a coop Quake 1 sequel with Ranger and Deathknight trying to find a way back to earth and Deathknight being gifted the dire orb from Ranger in the end.

Man. I’m sorry for this long passage (debatable). But I’ve been a fan of quake 1 since I was a VERY tiny child. I remember watching my dad play and being BLOWN away. And even as a child I was always interested in narrative. I’d always ask “what’s the story?” Being that me and my family grew up in south Louisiana, he had a few friends that new ID software. And was able to procure the games fairly easily (I’ll have to ask him about that). My dads not a gamer. But he LOVED doom and Duke nukem. Quake was my favorite as a child. Anyway. He handed me the folded game case. It felt like I was holding a book of arcane knowledge. I did my best to read the instruction booklet but lemme say that this was some formative years. Couldn’t have been older than 2-3. Kids don’t really read at that age. But my mom taught me much earlier than most. No I wasn’t a prodigy. But I remember distinctly having a laugh at the rott weilers enemy entry. So I def understood a bit of it. What I’m getting to is that I have CRAVED quake lore since I was a child. I’ve been scouring the internet for lore and it was never quite there. Even when RU-vid came around. I still searched for more quake lore that wasn’t JUST gameplay related. By the time quake champions came out. I just knew how the market was changing and that story was taking a back seat. Which is fine. Games are games for a reason. But I do love a good story. And now I’m here. I binged EVERY episode of quakes lore all the way up to visors meeting with the elder god. And holy heck. I know liberties were taken. But the way you weaved EVERYTHING together to make a solid coherent story is nothing short of art. I subbed. And next paycheck. Ima become a member. Because YOU ARE HELLA TALENTED. Your love in your hobby shows with how good these videos are made. I initially put them on as background noise. But when I seen the quality I stopped playing my game and focused on your vids. Now I have watched ALL of your videos. And I can’t begin to explain how much I love your work. THANK YOU FOR THIS. You are in my top 5 favorite creators now. I’m a software engineer by trade as well as a writer. If you find yourself overloaded with work for these vids (I do renders and some animations too). I’d be MORE than willing to lend my skills for free. Because this is ART. TL;DR you make amazing videos and you have a fan for life now. Thank you for all your hard work.

Where's the artwork from? Is it drawn or AI generated? It's glorious!

I loved this reimagining of the Quake lore you brought, because the sad fact is the original story was really a lazy excuse of a background.

Every realm created by Davoth or the Father has its own lord ruling it. Not much of a stretch to consider Quake being one such dimension as well, challenging its visitors to battle for sport or whatever incomprehensible goals they choose. Rip and tear, until it is done :P ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmTk_lCVuww.html

glorious!

before i sub how do i know your human?

Is this AI generated?

Great content, been looking for quake lore for a very long time, 20 years maybe, this was mind blowing

I actually am thirsty for the concept that what we killed 27 years ago was merely the offspring, while poor ranger stumbles blindly for eternity.

Id love to see some vids on the expansion packs, canon or not, 'alternate history" video? Im on like my 20th playthrough of this series :DD

This is absolutely excellent work. Thank you so much for producing it. All hail Shub-Niggurath!!!

The boxes with the strogg logo have to be our connection between quake 1 and quake 2 - my theory is that those crates were filled with strogg tech but the soldiers surrounding them were experiments from Dr. Gillman using said tech, but being remote controlled by the makron via some backdoor method in order to have those soldiers place strogg equipment and build slipgates in key locations prepping for the invasion of earth.... leading to the events of enemy territory quake wars

I think Ranger has been taken to tournament after expansions took place (will you make video about them?)

Quake 2 and 4 +ET would be nice heheehehhe. Nice vid.

These 3 quake lore videos blew my mind. I own the QC comics and played quake after the remaster came out. I never imagined the lore was this deep and mind blowing. Honestly, I hope that if someone sees this comment that they make an animation series on YT the way you described the lore, but with a hint of how Kane pixels does his backrooms videos. Every now and then just shift views from the eyes of characters to like security cameras and other things. I think that'd be so cool, one could dream right 🤣 anyways, long story short, awesome work on the lore! Keep up the good work!

Please more dramatic readings❤️🙏 tell us stories of the arenas, of quake one castles 🎉❤ i love your work!!!

Rip And Tear 💪🏻

its always interesting the skull symbol seen in some areas would become the Strogg emblem in 2 and beyond. If they ever were to make a new Quake, that'd be an interesting intersection, Shubs forces and cosmic beings vs the machine monsters, maybe even as a big mechanic in the game

Also, hey question. The music for this. Did you make it or what? Because Ngl. I’d play quake 1 to it. No disrespect to Trent reznor but I def dig this lol

Good research, man 💯 I just hope this is not the end.

I really need that music, that starts playing from 12:28 You know, I need all music. Great video.

This series has been a pleasure to watch

Hold up, you beat the final boss of Quake 1 with a telefrag? That's amazing.

Been listening to this every night before bed to tire my brain out. Good work on this series.

Ah, "evilly," my favorite adverb!

Awesome! I was eagerly waiting for more!

Are these audio logs in the game somewhere? I can't find info on them.

It is interesting, but if that's a mainly on Quake Champions comics, then it's more of a lore expansion, then the original story. But enjoyable non the less.

Will you do a similar thing for Quake 3 Arena?

amazing

I'm not trying to be facetious, but i didnt know that the original Quake even had any lore. It was came across to me as just an excuse to shoot creepy things using new 3D polygonal graphics. Great videos, keep up rhe great work.

Yasss. I just sat down to consume life sustenance materials and now I have something to watch. Cheers.

Awesome

"Evily"? Yeah okay, John
