Glory Kill Gallery

Glory Kills are melee executions used on staggered demons. Each one is unique to the demon type and your position relative to it, front, behind, or on top.

What is a Glory Kill?

When a demon takes enough damage it staggers, highlighted with an orange glow when close enough. The Slayer can then perform a Glory Kill melee finisher destroys the demon and drops health.

This mechanic is central to Doom Eternal's design: aggression for survival. Players are rewarded for staying in close combat and keeping the "Kill, Gather, Kill" gameplay loop.

  • Restores health on execution
  • Unique animation per demon type and Slayer position

How to Trigger

  1. Deal enough damage to stagger the demon
  2. Move close enough to the enemy
  3. Press the melee button to execute
