Secret encounter

Secret encounters are special optional challenges that exist in the main campaign of Doom Eternal. They are timed encounters that begin when the Doom Slayer activates a special gore nest. All of the demons that spawn must be defeated within the time limit in order to clear the encounter; otherwise, the gore nest will reset and no award will be received. Once defeated, the gore nest explodes and cannot be re-activated, and will no longer normally spawn when replaying the level from the mission select menu. Secret encounters award additional combat points for spending on weapon upgrades, and accordingly, each has a pip on the level's corruption meter.
