'''Runes''' are demonic sigils in [[Doom (2016)]] which upgrade the [[Doom's protagonist|Doom marine]]'s intrinsic abilities. There are twelve distinct runes, each of which must be earned by finding its rune stone, a green glowing monolith bearing the runic mark, and defeating the ensuing '''rune trial''', typically a battle which occurs in a small enclosed space disconnected from other game play areas.

The single-player runes of Doom (2016) are loosely based on {{wp|Sigil (magic)|magic sigil}}s and [[commons:Category:Sigils of demons|diabolical seals]] used in {{wp|goetia}}, as derived from various medieval {{wp|grimoire}}s and the well-known 17th century occult book, the ''{{wp|Lesser Key of Solomon}}''. None of the runes exactly match actual known sigils, however.

Revision as of 14:36, 24 March 2021

Runes are demonic sigils in Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal which upgrade the Doom Slayer's intrinsic abilities.

Doom (2016) includes twelve distinct runes, each of which must be earned by finding its corresponding rune stone, a green glowing monolith bearing the runic mark, and defeating the ensuing "rune trial", a battle which occurs in a small enclosed space disconnected from other game play areas. The runes are passive permanent upgrades, but only a certain number can be equipped at a given time, based on the Praetor suit's current capabilities. A maximum of three runes can be equipped when the Slayer is at full power.

Doom Eternal includes nine distinct runes, which are unlocked by interacting with crucifixes of Maykr design. The runes can be unlocked in any order, but only one rune may be unlocked from each crucifix. The Ancient Gods, Part One added three support runes that are unlocked by completing the Slayer Gate challenges in each level.

Trivia

The single-player runes of Doom (2016) are loosely based on magic sigils and diabolical seals used in goetia, as derived from various medieval grimoires and the well-known 17th century occult book, the Lesser Key of Solomon. None of the runes exactly match actual known sigils, however.
