10 Things Everyone Completely Missed In Doom Eternal
Doom: Eternal released to a ton of praise from critics and fans alike, but even the most devoted fans likely missed out on these 10 Easter eggs. Doom 1 and 2 on 90's computer in Doom Eternal Doom Eternal recently brought back everything fans love about the long-running franchise: demon-slaying, hellish landscapes, a formidable arsenal, and rivers of gore. The gameplay is so fast and encourages gamers to push forward that even avid fans may have missed some important , ten of which are listed below. Some of these are so minute that one cannot be blamed for missing them, but anybody who did catch them can consider their eyes keen. Fortunately, the game delivers more than enough content for players without these little bonuses which help to justify the sixty dollar price tag. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Bookshelf
Doom eternal bookshelf The Fortress of Doom serves as the game's hub. The player transports there after most levels and cashes in bonuses they found for upgrades. One room serves as the Doom Slayer's office, holding secrets they uncovered throughout the world like toys and music. In the same room sits a bookshelf that holds numerous fictional titles. These books are either puns on classic novels or allusions to the series. There are also references to other FPS games like Prey and Duke Nukem. The library is an odd inclusion given the Doomslayer's single-minded quest to rip and tear, but it's still a cool Easter egg. Doom And Doom II
The games were once the cutting edge of gaming technology, but these days they can fit inside another triple-A title as a secret without the hardware breaking a sweat. In the Doom Slayer's office, a computer rests on the table with two locked files. To access the first one, collect all the floppy discs in the world, and the first game becomes playable from the desktop. The second file is blocked behind a password, and one simply needs to input "FLYNNTAGGART" to unlock Doom II. Post-Credits Sequence
Doom Eternal Dread Knight The game has a semi-abrupt ending after defeating the final boss, but the fun is not over just yet. Those who sit through the credits are rewarded with a bonus cutscene depicting a demon playing with some of the Doom Slayer's toys. The beast's fun doesn't last for long, however, as the protagonist walks up behind it and cocks the Combat Shotgun, leading to the monster's doom. The idea of demons enjoying such diversions has many other implications in the Doom . Flynn Taggart
Doom Eternal Doom Guy loading up super shotgun Flynn Taggart's name is posted all over the game, but only the most dedicated Doom fans know of his relevance to the series. In the Doom novelizations, the protagonist held this name. We cannot imagine what it must have been like to make a novel from these games which lack a cohesive story and are primarily focused on blowing away hordes of ferocious beasts. Perhaps the author enjoyed the creative freedom that came from crafting a lore and plot from a game which lacks both. Whatever the case, Flynn was retconned, and is no longer a part of the Doom Slayer's story. Soul Cube
Doom eternal soul cube On a desk in the Doom Slayer's office sits a mysterious cube. Those who played through Doom 3 recognize this as the Soul Cube, the game's most powerful item. With it, most enemies were obliterated in a single hit. The third numbered entry polarized fans with its focus on survival horror instead of blood-pumping action, but it was a technical showcase. It is nice to see Id Software paying homage to it, even if it is subtle. Doom 64 Connection
Doom 64 BFG The game heavily implies a connection between it and Doom 64, which itself is a sequel to the first two games, marking the first time all the games are truly connected, save for Doom 3. However, this detail would only be noticed by those who played the title. Fortunately, the game recently saw a re-release on the Nintendo Switch and came as a pre-order bonus to Doom Eternal on PS4, Xbox One, and While more than two decades old, the fast-paced gameplay holds up. Daisy
Doom Eternal Daisy On a wall in the Doom Slayer's office hangs a painting of the protagonist holding a rabbit. There is also a cage and food for the animal lying around. The rabbit is most likely Daisy, the pet from the original Doom who the demon's mercilessly killed, fueling the Doom Marine's rage. It is a silly idea, but it was also a joke about how irrelevant the story was to a game like Doom. Players didn't really need a reason to jump into mars and slaughter countless demons. Lemmy Is God
Doom eternal UAC Spokesperson Like in 2016's Doom, a hologram from UAC occasionally pops up and offers darkly comedic ramblings about their occultist beliefs and alignment with the demons. On at least one occasion, however, the lady will randomly mutter "Lemmy is God," an obvious reference to famous bassist and Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. The singer's lifestyle and influence on the heavy metal and hard rock genre gave him a mythical status, leading some to dub him a deity. Terminator Easter Egg
Doom Eternal Terminator 2 Thumbs Up Skilled players who managed to avoid dying from lava missed this reference to James Cameron's 1991 classic science fiction film, Terminator 2. If the Doomslayer falls in lava, he will give a thumbs-up as he submerges in the molten substance, similar to what the T-800 does at the end of the influential movie. Many children play games and imagine the floor as lava, and it looks like all that experience pretending really pays off with Doom Eternal. Icon Of Sin
Doom Eternal Icon Of Sin 2016's Doom featured the iconic Cyberdemon. Fans of Doom II will recognize Doom Eternal's final resemblance to the second game's final encounter as well. Both are dubbed the Icon of Sin and bear the same facial design. While Doom II never names the ending boss encounter, it was called the Icon of Sin behind the scenes. While not quite as recognizable as the Cyberdemon, Doom devotees were no doubt thrilled to see the monster redesigned.
