Lore & Background
The Hell Priests are three named demons—Deag Nilox, Deag Ranak, and Deag Grav—who serve the angelic Khan Maykr. They are directly involved in the invasion of Earth, which began in 2163, fourteen years after the events on Mars. The Doom Slayer's primary objective is to kill all three priests to stop the demonic invasion. After the Slayer kills Deag Nilox on Earth, the Khan Maykr transports the remaining two priests to unknown locations to protect them. The Slayer later finds and kills Deag Ranak at his citadel in the Arctic. The Khan Maykr then moves Deag Grav again and accelerates the invasion. With no leads on the last Hell Priest, the Slayer retrieves Dr. Hayden's damaged robot chassis and learns that Deag Grav is hiding on Sentinel Prime. The Slayer reaches Sentinel Prime and kills Deag Grav in the gladiatorial arena. The Khan Maykr then reveals her plan to resurrect the Icon of Sin to consume mankind.
Reader's Guide
The Hell Priests are key targets in Doom Eternal's campaign. The player must kill all three: Deag Nilox, Deag Ranak, and Deag Grav. Deag Nilox is killed early on Earth. Deag Ranak is found at his citadel in the Arctic. Deag Grav is hiding on Sentinel Prime, accessible only through a portal in the lost city of Hebeth in Mars' core. To reach Hebeth, the player must use the BFG 10000 on Phobos to shoot a hole in Mars' surface. The player should be prepared for the Khan Maykr to move the priests to protect them, requiring the player to find new leads. The Slayer's fortress, controlled by the AI VEGA, and Dr. Hayden's knowledge are crucial for locating the remaining priests.
