The CORRUPTION of Doom's Angels | The Maykr Species | FULL Doom Lore EXPLAINED

- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- 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.

#Maykr #Lore #Doom - Hry
What is the best Doom game?
Doom II
Probably doom 2016 tbh,
It had the best demon designs and it's the first game that introduced glory kills
Doom 1 is the og and my close second tho
Yes
There is not just one. The whole series is legendary!
All of them... almost all of them
I know people didn't ask for Doom lore, but you gotta admit the writers went nuts with it and it's kinda fire in places.
DOOM lore = here's gun, there's demons
@@hoodenmcburgwhich is exactly why lore to fit has to be as badass and over the top as possible, which it is
I asked for more lore. It honestly shocked me how good it turned out to be, and I don't want the story to be over
This is all I’ve ever wanted
Fun Fact: the Battlemode map Celestial is the location where Khan Maykrs are recycled
"Orbiting data structure of the sentient Maykr Godmind, the Transfigurations of fallen Maykrs are processed here and re-inserted into the Maykr soul-grid."
In the end some the Maykr got what was coming to them after becoming so arrogant. Regardless, is incredible how fast Hell and the Dark Lord's influence start to corrupt everything within moments of making contact.
probably because he forged urdak in the first place?
dark lord or not, the creator makes the rules.
the realm itself was answering its masters call.....
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
The Dark Lord.
@@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.
Chances are, whatever was in the worldspear was probably what those upper gods sent down to help the two.
I love Hugo and his over excitement during those playthrough streams, he really gave us wayyyu too much info lol
@@rdowgwell that’s going to be confusing
@@rdowg this would be supported by the implications this isn't the slayers universe of origin, he didn't walk through the portal from this worlds earth, but from a totally different one.
I love how Doom lore has evolved since the first game
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
You’re probably right but the question remains who or what they could possibly be? And would our human minds even begin to comprehend the form they might use?
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.
As a fan of Scorn and it’s hellish “good place,” I feel like these guys would fit in pretty well! Even if it’s just for aesthetics!
100%
I always get aesthetic pleasure from Skyrionn Doom lore videos - the style of camerawork and editing are just fantastic. Great work man!
so true
Super kind of you to say. They do take days to put together ♥
@@Skyrionn Also, I would be grateful if you could answer me - which program do you use to create such a cinematic floating camera effect?
I just use the game. There's no program!
@@Skyrionn Thanks, I get it!
In mid-2000s Guild Wars,
The Unseen Gods, the Mursaat, have both the visual style and narrative role
of the Makyr.
With the khan maykr dead, the seraphim are now the highest ranking maykrs.
I guess they are. We need a new DOOM game to explore that
@@Skyrionn doom year zero.
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.
He’s having a Morgoth moment
What? Im pretty sure he specifically said they WERENT the same person from different universes.
Shit, he even said that the slayer and davoth were "twin entities" sent from a higher caste of gods during one of those playthrough livestreams he did
Ive seen both being said by him so idk@@rdowg
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?
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
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.
This video is so good. Thanks again for all you do
Excellent stuff. Always a pleasure to find a great lore channel, and the top notch narration is definitely a plus.
Amazing video, i enjoyed it throughly, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
as with all new skyrionn videos i will rip and tear through it, enjoying ever second while doom music plays
Hell yeah (no pun intended) Skyrionn I'm loving these Doom lore videos. The writing for the most recent games was excellent, and there's still a lot of uncovered subtleties to be explored
Your narration and voice are just so pleasant to listen to. I often listen to your videos on my way to sleep. They're always so high quality too.
Same I end up watching them multiple times
Lovely content mate - quality 👌🏼
Much appreciated
Amazing video, i enjoyed it entirely, thank you, i subscribed.
Thanks for being here!
The quality of these are way too good to have less than a million views
You're too kind! Just hoping the algorithm picks this one up!
Great video, I remember when you where doing fable lore videos way back, glad to see you made it
Fable feels like a completely different lifetime! I still love the series, it just didn't work for CZcams sadly
@@SkyrionnI'd like to see you try them again. Fable is an awesome series!
@@Skyrionn maybe fable will be more on the spotlight once the new game comes out
I've seen the images of actual angels from bible and looking at back at the Maykrs they look very accurate
Gonna have to look those up myself
There are no images of angels from the Bible lol.
They're not accurate at all.
A ruler of a race,given the title of “khan".
Guess it was a slow day in the writing room when they came up with that one.
Guess it's better than emperor
Can't believe Makyr fell off due to daddy issues, us frfr
This is the best comment.
Just like me fr
Let's goooo! Are you going to do one on the Argenta?
One day ☺
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.
I do hope there's a way to save the Maykrs. The punishment for their later hubris has been dealt. Samur is out of the picture, Davoth is dust, VEGA/Father is more or less impotent, and the Khan Maykr has been beaten into a bloody pulp. They have been humbled, thoroughly.
Nah they need to go. I’m glad the maykers are dead
I believe that you will become well known, for your intelligent and historical videos alike, for this epic game, as documentaries, in a sort of way! 👏👏👏
As much as I enjoy a fleshed-out backstory, does anyone miss the old Doom story of just "rip and tear the demons because demons are assholes who put bunnies heads on pikes"?
Nope
Gonna be real here... not at all
That's still the backstory though to my understanding, the events of the original doom games should still be canon. Notice he has the original doom armor on in the inscriptions of his time first reaching Argent D'Nur
Yes
Why did The Father tell Samuel to take his spirit orb from the Luminarium, even though The Father knew that the Mykkrs needed him to be in Urdak to help keep the Maykrrs from going through transfiguration? Obviously he would have know that would cause problems. Also, how was The Father able to communicate with the World Spear when he said, "He's worthy", allowing a bridge to take us into the Crystal ship? Who was he talkin to? Why would the World spear even take The Fathers advise into consideration??
Wooooooo new Doom video!!
Urdak was darker and more desolate than any of those hell levels.
I had a strong feeling the Maykrs were initially good. Thanks for thr awesome video!
i never got to beat the most recent doom butt like watching these lore videos on the Doom universe. So did the Seraph seal Doom Slayer into a, essentially, a stasis chamber? To come back when hes needed most again?
Exactly
Next up: demons of full doom lore explained
Never heard the Doom story in any way at all. This opened a lot of things
The Earth of Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal wasn't the same Earth Doomguy came from. It is one of the many Earths in existence in Doom universe.
I recall one piece of Khan Maykr promising to send Doomguy back to the Earth he came from, to which he couldn't return to.
Uhm. We don't go to earth in 2016. And if we did. It would he the same earth. The earth from DOOM 1, 2, Sigil,
Sigil 2, No Rest For The Living, Final DOOM, and 64 are in the same earth, but DOOM 3, Resurrection Of Evil, 2016, Eternal, TAG1, TAG2 are a different earth.
Amazing work and through explanation!
need this man to cover wasteland 2 or 3 rn
Thought about showing the Serious Sam Series? One of my favorites 🎉🎉
So if the Father had the power of the Father enter him, doesn’t that mean he could become the new Father?
This is INSANE!!
This was great. I stopped playing after Doom 2016. I like it, but just haven't gotten into the new titles, so it was nice to have the story laid out. I'm curious what they'll do when they reboot Quake.
Doom was never my kind of game, but I was curious about the lore and it seems quite interesting. Mostly because I like the Maykr design, being a sucker for non-biological humanoids. The combination of an angel with a robot makes for a really striking visual image.
But if you think about it, he also was super strong for a human
So in conclusion, the Makyr were incredib.y dumb
They had one good idea, sealing away a god that was slowly losing his mind. After that it was downhill from there.
Rip And Tear 💪🏻
Rip and Tear!
I always felt like Kahn Maykr's face looked like the spider mastermind. Is that just a coincidence?
One question i have even thought i have seen the video about davoth, my question is who created him like did he just appear or did some one else make him. Also literally if samer maker never listend to the father the worlds would be more screwed then they where already
Yay new skyrionn
Welcome welcome
It would be awesome if you make a castlevania lords of shadow saga how about the castle or Dracula or vampires
I actually haven't played them. They're on my list though!
@@Skyrionncool
Overconfidence is a slow and incidious killer...
Ngl, I love Doom, I think it does what it sets out to do by being a power fantasy very well.
I absolutely hate how they decided to represent things like Angels, Heaven, their backstory for the Demons and Hell, and the very clunky story with the Doom Slayer’s time in Argent D’Nur. I don’t get why they didn’t just go with actual biblical lore instead of twisting it into this weird H.R. Giger multidimensional war.
WHY DO THE ANGELS LOOK LIKE DEMONS UNDER THE ARMOR
Becuse thats how Angels look in Bible
@@SkibidiToiletiscringe- No, actually. Angels do not look like demons, they look like angels. Not everything “otherworldly” or “scary” is demonic. Usually the representation of more violently predatory features are what constitute as demonic. A spinning wheel of eyes is otherworldly but not predatory or demonic in nature.
Because they wanted to make an interesting story instead of regurgitating one that was never any good.
New doom game been leaked for 2025
Is it just me or was the a soft reboot between Doom(2016) and Doom Eternal. Their a lot of details that don't sync up. Reminds me of the soft reboot between Dead Space 1 and 2.
They and their leader were the real villians of doom
Wou..
How they ended huh? They ended WITH ME
Whenever a world springs forth from a god figure without them realizing I just imagine they farted while walking and you never look behind you when you fart so they just keep walking unaware they farted a galaxy out there cosmic azz
On no! Not.... The Bad
So doom is all about ai going too far to achieve their goal?
The Maykrs were a mistake.
Deffo in the eyes of Davoth
Kinda bummed out that the Doomslayer turned out to be blessed with some kind of divine energy and not just pure testosterone and adrenaline. 😅😅
It's both. Lol
Do a lore video on why there is sweetcorn in my poo
That'll be a 5 hour video
Doom the story based on bible where both heaven and hell are evil
Basically yeah
"Heaven" is subjective. That's how the Makyrs would see it
Got a warhammer ad before this, wrong game bud
The Doom backstory is stupid, convoluted, confusing, and dumb.
Wrong
It’s not lol
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.
I was loving the game until the maykers. I really dont like the “heaven and the angels are evil also God is awal/evil” trope.
I just think its boring. (And it hurts my fee fees angels are the good guys)
This is dnd lore,tharizdun and the shard of inf.evil...
The father is a twisted lying piece of shit. The only god that’s heroic is the slayer
who the hell wrote all this, this epic fantasy setting only lacks some space gnomes and stuff. Doom Eternal's lore is a dog's fever dream. I prefer when it was og hard-fi in Doom 16. The more I check lore of Doom Eternal the more I think it's stupid as all hell.
It's DOOM lore. Wtf do you expect?
I just can't. Eternal lore is just... no.
Shut up
new age stuff kinda sucks makes it all into a syfi hell is just a space jail
Not a fan of DOOM having 'lore', original game kept it simple, that was its charm
the maykr has fallen, billions must die
"Subcribe to win the game" i think you have my sub. I have fallen to the lord @Skyrionn
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
I know where in the vid you're refering to jess.😊
