Fortress of Doom (Doom Eternal)

The Fortress of Doom is a massive Sentinel space station, serving as a central hub and player base in Doom Eternal. It offers an in-game setting to display the Easter egg items collected by the player, unlock various items, as well as practice safe fights in the "Ripatorium".

The player can obtain several weapons in the Fortress of Doom over the course of the game's story after specific missions, the flame belch is introduced after Hell on Earth, the ice bomb is introduced after Exultia, the ballista is obtained after Doom Hunter Base and the Unmaykr is unlocked after obtaining six Empyrean Keys as early as after Taras Nabad.

Lore
The Fortress of Doom is the Doom Slayer's combined spaceship and base of operations. It was originally a Night Sentinel command station, built during the reign of King Danak. Despite the close involvement of the Maykrs in its construction, its primary systems appear to have been specifically intended for Argenta use. Regardless, the Khan Maykr still has influence over some of its subsystems, as can be seen when she remotely deactivates its power supply (later replaced with the demonic Crucible by the Doom Slayer, to the bemusement of Samuel Hayden). The fortress has no propulsion systems, and instead uses an unknown process utilizing Sentinel energy to manipulate space around itself in order to move.

According to VEGA, the fortress is likely to be the last trace of what was once a much larger fleet.

Easter eggs
The portrait of the Doom Slayer holding his pet bunny Daisy was originally a piece of fan art created by Ian Nielsen (Xous) and placed into the game after an initiative from id Software's Kathleen Tigue.

The two original Doom games are both playable on the computer: Doom is unlocked by collecting all 14 cheat code diskettes in the main game (two are hidden in the fortress itself), and Doom II is unlocked by entering the password "FLYNNTAGGART" when prompted.

The skateboard is a reference to Doomguy's presence in  as an unlockable character.

Bookshelf
The Doom Slayer's library is filled with Doom-themed parodies of classic literature (most of them simply shoehorning "slay", "rip and tear", "demon", "guts", or a level name from Doom (2016) in the title) and references to other video games.

Video games:
 * My Buddy Superfly by Hiro Miyamoto: . The protagonist of this game was named Hiro Miyamoto. One of the NPC teammates was called Superfly Johnson. The phrase "I can't leave without my buddy Superfly", which was used to tell the player they had to make sure their AI friends were nearby before exiting the level, became a meme. The name of this character was, in turn, a reference to an old Doom fansite, "Abode of the Superfly".

 * Mesa Science Monthly - Predicting Unforeseen Consequences: . The game is set in the Black Mesa Research Facility. "Unforeseen Consequences" is the first "real" level of the game, after the introduction part is over.
 * U-NAT-CO Training Manual: Bomb Defusal: . The UNATCO (acronym for "United Nations Anti-Terrorist COalition") is the organization you work for at the start of the game. The reaction of the protagonist when a bomb is found in a helicopter has become a meme.

 * Living With Rage - and Other Common Emotions in the Apocalyptic Wasteland: . The game does take place in an apocalyptic wasteland.
 * THE STROGG: A Transdimensional Field Study: . The Strogg are the enemies in that game, an empire of evil cyborgs invading other planets with teleportation technology to stripmine them of resources and forcibly converting their denizens into more mind-controlled cyborgs for their armies.
 * RET-CONNED: The Life and Times of Flynn Taggart: Doom novels. The main protagonist in the official novelization of the classic Doom games is called Flynn Taggart. The story in these novels rapidly diverges greatly from the game, however, effectively retconning everything.
 * From Nopefish to Dopefish: The Dope Tale: Commander Keen IV. The Dopefish from that game, originally described as a ravenous idiot, has managed to find its way into cameo appearances into many other games: a true success story.
 * Tei Tenga - Offworld Travel Guide: Doom Bible. The fictional planet of Tei Tenga was the originally-planned setting for Doom, before the action was moved to the moons of Mars.

These people and their descendants are referred to as "Vault Dwellers".
 *  Nuka-Cola - A History from the Atomic Age of Flavor. Fallout series. Nuka-Cola is the number-one brand of soft drinks in this setting.

In addition to the jokes, there is one large book entitled "how to comb your mustache" by "Clifton M. Fischbach". This is actually a homage to the late father of popular YouTuber.

Commander Keen's skull, helmet, and neural stunner are stored ontop of the bookshelf. The lower shelves contain Slayer-branded game consoles and several classic id Software game boxes, including the original Doom and Doom II, Quake, and Quake III: Arena.

Records
Sixteen vinyl records are hidden throughout the levels. Finding them adds a corresponding poster to the Fortress of Doom. The records are of songs from various id Software games.

Demon toys
Demon toys can be collected throughout the levels. Activating one of the demon toys allows to open the model viewer for the monster in question.

Collectibles
