Hell on Earth (Doom Eternal level)

This page is about the Doom Eternal level, see the disambiguation page for other similarly named pages.

Hell on Earth is the first level of Doom Eternal.

Overview
This mission kicks off the main campaign of Doom Eternal, as the Doom Slayer, having been informed of Deag Nilox's location by VEGA, teleports down to Earth and arrives inside the Hell Priest's Barge. After killing all the demons and zombies inside, the Slayer enters Deag Nilox's chamber and quickly kills the Hell Priest. Nilox's death causes the demonic consumption of Earth to slow.

The Slayer then leaves the Barge and fights his way across a ruined city, somewhere in the "quarantine zone near the San Andreas chasm," i.e., California. Eventually, he arrives at the Citadel of Hell where the other two Hell Priests, Deag Grav and Deag Ranak, have gathered. He confronts the two Priests and shows them the severed head of Nilox. The Priests, though horrified by the sight, tell the Slayer that nothing has changed and that the Argent Energy flow will soon be restored, made from the souls of the non-believers on Earth. The Slayer threatens them with the Combat Shotgun, and Grav and Ranak teleport away.

The Khan Maykr herself then appears before the Slayer, in the form of a hologram. She warns him not to interfere any further, as this is humanity's time to repent and pledge themselves to the Maykrs. VEGA opens an exit portal and the Doom Slayer, ignoring the Khan Maykr's warning, leaves through the portal, returning to the Fortress of Doom.

Trivia

 * The ARC radio announcements following this level suggests it takes place in the "San Andreas chasm". This could be the San Andreas Fault, a major geologic fault line which runs through California from San Francisco to the Imperial Valley on the Mexican border, including metro Los Angeles, and which got widened into a chasm after the Hellish invasion. Burning and collapsing skyscrapers may be seen in the background, indicating it does take place near a major city. Consequently, while the level evidently takes place in a major urban area in California, it cannot be narrowed down further barring any other information.
 * The level title, Hell on Earth, is presumably a reference to Doom II, which is sometimes given the subtitle of "Hell on Earth".
 * The Subway Terminals resembles the ones in Washington, D.C.
 * A bit of culture may be gleaned from the neon signs. All the logos and signs are minimalist and feature brands unknown to those living in the present day (except UAC, of course), indicating that few current-day brands will apparently have survived to the mid-22nd century.
