The Maykr Angels of Urdak are one of the most important species in the Doom Series. Their actions led to the formation of The Father, the ascension of The Doom Slayer and invasion of Earth. From the depths of Hell, the vast Earthly realms and the heavenly realm of Urdak, their presence was felt by all.
Throughout biblical texts, this species was described as caring guardians over the mortals they encountered, they however had a much deeper story than anyone would expect. Where did the Maykr come from? What role did the Khan Maykr play? Were they really the villains of the story? And how does their story end? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the entire Maykr species in Doom.

@Tetrohedracon 7 месяцев назад

When you are playing on the mission Urdak, you will notice something very strange. As you progress through the level you will notice the lighting in the sky gets more and more violent and greenish. Once you defeat the Khan, the sky goes red and changes to red lightning. This same greenish colored glow and lightning can be seen inside the WorldSpear ship aswell, specifically when the Doom Slayer is going through to grab the crystal. The Father also says "He is worthy" and the Bridge rises from the water. How does the Father know who is in the ship and why would they listen to him? So whats the connection? Hugo Martin also said during one of his Livestreams that "The maykrs were designed by Davoth after the... I don't want to go too much into their details." He implied Davoth modeled the Mykers after something or someone. Perhaps that's why they have tentacles and weird non-human features.v

@@azazelsiad3601that makes no sense because after you kill the Khan, you hear a loud "NOOOOOO!", at the same time the sky goes red. Davoth wanted Urdak destroyed for their betrayal so he wouldn't cry out "NO!" when the Khan was killed since he wanted the Khan to die. It was something else...

Hugo also let it slip that the slayer and davoth are "twin entities" that were sent to this universe by another caste of gods.

@kgreen242424 7 месяцев назад

Davoth goes bad because his first creation was mortal? He was a god who could create a species but he couldn't choose what he created? The realm of Urdak "sprang" from him? If you ask me, seems like things aren't controlled by Davoth but only manipulated by him. The Maykr's looked into the future and saw that he was a threat to everything. Time is kinda the lynchpin of mortality, no? If you could manipulate time or were a god, it would follow that mortality would pose little more than an inconvenience. A spoiled kid who's toy broke because he played too rough with it is how it comes across to me. At best Davoth was a superior being with the meta perspective. Just like how that Maykr present themselves as angelic beings when all they really have is more advanced tech. They occupy the level above humans. Davoth above is above them but the story makes me think there is yet a further level above him

@bibby659 5 месяцев назад

The Maykrs could have prevented all of what happened to them if they had kept trying to find better more effecient if not more self sustaining methods to immortality, rather than simply leeching off of the father like parasites. Once their "food" was taken from them, they immediately fell into complete turmoil and collapse. It didn't help they had stroked their own ego's to the point of believing they were better than anything and everything else... it also didn't help how the father had more or less ignored this problem developing while trying to carry on the work of his creator, among other things. Something tells me that the Father had basically known that the Maykr species was dying, and could not be saved regardless of the tech used. So instead of trying to help them, he focused his gaze onto much bigger things. While losing the Maykrs would be a huge blow for him and others in the future, it could very well be exactly what he needs to set things right. It does make me wonder though what the Fathers grand plan is considering now his creator is gone, the Cahn Maykr is gone, his most loyal servent was corrupted and now gone for the most part (from what we know). So, where does he go from there, and what plans could he have now that the entity that symbolized absolute hate and evil was gone... but said creature was also the original creator of everything.

8:42 Wait wait, are you saying that if you kill a god, you become one? That’s just a thought that came to me, but shouldn’t the DOOM Slayer still be fully overpowered, even though the Davoth part of him has disappeared?

@jen-jen5470 7 месяцев назад

No, you have to extract a god's essense and then absorb at least some of it , which is what the Father did and what formed the dark sphere without killing his enemy. The Doom Slayer, however, simply destroyed the Dark Lord's essense, without extracting or absorbing it. At least that's how I understood it

@yerossyle 5 месяцев назад

Honestly, that ending was by far the best one they could have thought of. A solid “END” if they choose to leave it like that and never make a sequel again. And if they do intend to make a sequel, I can see how they could bring him back.

@Tetrohedracon 7 месяцев назад

Hugo Martin in an interview said that Davoth and Doomguy are the same person, but of different realms. Hugo then says that Davoth failed in his mission to save his people, but DoomGuy WAS able to successfully defend his people and retained an almost Godlike status among the Human population as we saw in the end of TAG2. So the question then becomes, what was Davoth trying to defend his people from? Why did the Mykrr race think that giving Humans immortality would destroy all creation, and sealed away Jekked even though Davoth himself was allready immortal? Davoth was fighting against something before Jekked turned into Hell. Perhaps he was rebelling against the ONE TRUE GOD, and that God helped the Mykrr father defeat Davoth. The ones who created primeevals in order to create new worlds for the ONE TRUE REALM OF CREATION to harvest. Keep in mind Hugo also referred to the events taking place as being a "Ritual" thats being overlooked by Samuels race of Maykrrs.

@TheHaxcast 6 месяцев назад

There were two points in this video that caused some confusion to me. Firstly, when they were tasked to find a cure for mortality you mentioned they did so but later on you talk about the whole transfiguration process that the Maykr go through so they didn't actually find a cure or was it just not a cure for their own mortality? You also spoke about the Khan Maykr and it seemed like they had one prior to the father ascending so why is it that the last Khan Maykr remained in power past the 10,000 years? Surely they must have had a way to do this process without the father if he wasn't present when it was first done. Great video, this isn't a criticism just curious.

There are really two ways to look at NuDoom's plot: 1) It's a heavy metal concept album like something Rhapsody (of Fire) would make. Sure there's words but it's usually incoherent screaming. And somehow the whole thing just works because at the end of the day, you're having an experience, not receiving the first tablets of law or whatever. 2) It's a bog-standard Bethesda game where they didn't bother with competent high level writing to make sure the themes all gelled and the world bible wasn't a huge contradictory mess. So...yes, the writing is confusing and dumb. But you know what? Boomer shooters use plot in the same way arcade fighters do--it's just connective tissue to get you from the spectacle that just happened to the spectacle that's just beginning. For a doom reboot that level of writing feels about right. It's not meant to be Shakespeare.
