How to get the Unmaykr – Doom Eternal

If you want to unlock the Unmaykr, then you’re going to need to acquire six Empyrean Keys. Unfortunately, these keys can only be acquired by finding and completing Slayer Gates. Slayer Gates are super challenging encounters that can be unlocked with Slayer Keys. There are hidden throughout the campaign for Doom Eternal and will require all your skills to complete – especially in later missions.

If you want help finding all six Slayer Gate locations, then you can check out our handy guide which outlines the general locations of each Slayer Gate. They are pretty easy to see on each mission’s Automap as well, making them fairly simple to locate. However, each Slayer Gate requires a special Slayer Key to unlock. These are often hidden nearby, and you’ll need to find and acquire them to unlock access to the encounter.

Once you’ve completed a Slayer Gate, you’ll be given access to the Empyrean Key. You can return to the Fortress of Doom to activate the Empyrean Key, which will remove one of the laser locks protecting the Unmaykr.
