Exultia

Exultia is the second level of the campaign in Doom Eternal. The first part (about one-third) takes place on Argent D'Nur in the city of Exultia, while the rest takes place in Hell.

Overview[]

With the other two Hell Priests having gone into hiding following the demise of Deag Nilox, VEGA informs the Doom Slayer that he will need to rebuild the Celestial Locator in order to locate them. To this end, the Slayer travels to the ruins of the Sentinel city Exultia. After fighting his way past the hordes of demons there, he enters the chamber of the Sentinel King Novik, where he retrieves the Celestial Casing. Novik's spirit appears on the throne and warns the Doom Slayer that he cannot kill the Hell Priests as, despite their treachery against the Sentinels, they are still of Sentinel blood. Novik also warns the Slayer that his actions risk incurring the Heaven's wrath. Though the Slayer is respectful of Novik (he kneels before the king's spirit), he still takes the Celestial Casing and leaves for Hell.

Arriving in Hell, the Slayer fights his way through more demons and locates the Betrayer, who is living in self-imposed exile. Although the Betrayer gives the Slayer the same warning that King Novik gave him, he nonetheless gives the Slayer the Celestial Power Core needed to complete the Locator. Before the Slayer leaves, the Betrayer gives him a dagger and asks him to put his son's heart to rest. The Hell part of the level, besides pools of lava and sticky purple goo, features several bodies of apparently-dead titanic demons who appear to be frozen in the middle of a fight; in some cases the player has to progress by spearing holes in their bodies using the giant spears they were fighting with.

Collectibles[]

• Toys
  • Arachnotron - After getting the first Rune, do not go down. Instead, go down the side stairs, and turn left to an opening where a Soldier comes out of. Turn left, facing a dark wall, there is a breakable leading to the toy.
  • Cacodemon - Through the energy field jump area, after the Gargoyle cave. It's in the area by the lava falls in the cave, right above The Betrayer's entrance.
• Codex Pages
  • Exultia - After the first breakable, before the first battle with the Gargoyles and Hell Knight, turn left.
  • The Wolf - After the first flooded room battle, the codex can be seen behind a closed grate to the left. Turn right, swing on a pole towards a bowing Sentinel statue, turn around, and you'll see the codex on the other side of a gap.
  • History of the Sentinels - Part 1 - In the room with the big turning machine, just before Dash is obtained, there are three chains to break. This codex is in front of one of the chains.
  • King Novik - After the cutscene with King Novik, turn right, right before the pit. Cannot be obtained after Dashing over the pit, not even with fast travel.
  • History of the Sentinels - Part 2 - After using the mech-arm to clear the path, climb up, it should be seen just as you get the quick scope tutorial.
  • History of the Sentinels - Part 3 - In the same area that introduces the falling platforms. The codex is in the area below the Arachnotron in the distance.
  • The Betrayer - Right after meeting The Betrayer, by the energy lift.
• Albums
  • DOOM - At Doom's Gate - In the area with the big mechanical arm, find a big punchable box, and punch the side with the darken circle (where the glowing green is supposed to be). Climb down the hole to the other side. The question mark can be seen from the previous battle, under the bridge, behind a grate.
• Sentinel Battery - Right before the portal to Hell.
• Secret Encounter 1 - After the flooded room battle, and before entering Hell, the Secret Encounter is at a distance building, with two swinging poles leading to it. Dash is needed to get to the other side. The battle consists of two Cacodemons.
• Secret Encounter 2 - Right after getting the second power core, and before installing it to the mech, which starts up an energy bridge, look down to the right of the mech in a small area that contains the Gore Nest. The battle consists of six Lost Souls, but be careful with the explosive barrels.
• Slayer Gate - The Slayer Gate is located between the introduction to the falling platforms, and the Gargoyle cave before the electric fields. The key is located above the Gargoyle cave, at an upper hole leading outside.

Extra Lives[]

Exultia contains seven extra lives.

• At spawn, just below the broken bridge.
• After getting the first Rune, turn around, and swing a pole to go up, and the extra life is on the other side of the elevator you came down from.
• Right after obtaining Dash, after seeing the Wolf, the extra life will be floating right beside a climbable wall right below the exit doorway to the outside.
• Right behind King Novik's throne, after the cutscene. Cannot be obtained after Dashing back to the flooded one, not even with fast travel.
• In the goo room by the big mechanical arm, the extra life floats above. It can only be obtained after navigating through the goo, and standing on solid ground.
• After the room with the Gargoyles, passed the Slayer Gate, there is an electric field down below to the right. The extra life is within that field, and it's best to time it correctly.
• After The Betrayer, halfway through the falling platforms, a lone floating platform to the right has an extra life right below it. Use the lift to lower yourself to get it, and then jump-dash back to solid ground.

Trivia[]

• The Tower of Nekravol ("Tower of Babel") is shown on the background when passing the gates of Hell.
• The ruined Sentinel city of Exultia may also be considered a way of bringing in elements of the old Heretic franchise, which has never had a remake made of it. In particular, the medieval setting and the introduction of the new Gargoyle enemy.
• This part of Hell may be contrasted with those in DOOM in that the land doesn't immediately appear to be floating in the air but instead looks as if it's on a volcanic planet, with steep cliffs and large lakes of lava. The sky is also a deeper glowing red than these other two levels. It may indicate Hell has different layers and the section in Exultia may be on Hell's surface, whereas those in DOOM are in Hell's upper layers. (The same applies to Nekravol.)
