ABSOLUTE DOOM: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE DOOM UNIVERSE
It's finally finished! I made this guide a long time ago, but it's finally been revised and updated to include content from Doom: The Dark Ages.
Introducing ABSOLUTE DOOM: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE. This is a 291-page guide to the Doom universe, a culmination of my unbridled passion for Doom and its universe, as well as years of writing, discussion, study, and theorizing on this franchise. This guide covers the entire mainline Doom franchise, and all of its locations, characters, monsters, files, and plot points.
It is essentially an exhaustive encyclopedia of the entire modern Doom universe, and I will be updating it as new Doom info comes out!
A list of features below:
291 pages of explanations, summaries, and theories on every Doom game and virtually everything to do with the Doom canon as established by the modern titles. All information from the classic games, Doom 3, and the modern games are included.
A complete, 6 chapter chronology of the entire mainline Doom timeline, organizing everything into chronological order, featuring dramatized cutscene adaptations for each chapter.
An exhaustive guide on Hell, its demons, its locales, and its artifacts. Every single demon in the series is included, from Davoth to the Aranea Imperatrix, from Archviles to Imps, from the Sabaoth to Cherubs.
An exhaustive guide on Urdak, the Maykrs, and its artifacts.
Similarly exhaustive guides for Argent D'Nur, the UAC, and the Cosmic Realm.
TL;DR summaries in the chronology for convenient information.
Seriously - anything and everything you can think of that is in the mainline Doom series is here and discussed at length. All of this is explained and theorized with a level of detail far surpassing any current Doom wiki.
Out-of-universe fun facts and meta notes.
313 footnotes, making sure no information is left not expanded on, to an unsettling degree.
A complete list of sources for all information.
Colored text to mark subjective theories and plotholes.
A Table of Contents for each individual section, featuring hyperlinks for easy navigation.
Fancy headers.
This is a seriously indulgent and long guide, and I've spent years on it as a gigantic fan of the Doom lore. I really hope you check it out if you're interested in Doom's universe, because I find most online resources to be really lacking in terms of the information they provide.
