Doom: The Dark Ages: Mission Challenge Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Doom: The Dark Ages, the path to a legendary Sentinel involves more than just surviving the demons. Mission Challenges are optional objectives found within each chapter that test your efficiency, exploration skills, and combat mastery.

There are 48 Mission Challenges in total. Completing every single one across all chapters is the only way to unlock the Challenge Completed trophy/achievement.

Mission Challenges begin appearing as early as Chapter 1, but they become more complex as you unlock the Dragon and the Atlan Mech. These challenges are typically divided into three categories:

• Exploration - Focused on finding secret sites.
• Combat Mastery - Focused on killing enemies in specific ways.
• Special Hunts - Focused on destroying Artillery or Ships.

Completing these objectives awards high-value resources and exclusive cosmetics:

• Gold & Rubies: Important for maxing out your 16-weapon arsenal at Sentinel Shrines.
• Reverent Weapon Skins: These bone-and-gold cosmetics are exclusively tied to completing specific challenge sets (e.g., destroying all Artillery Cannons in Chapter 6).
• Wraithstones: Some late-game challenges reward you with these rare stones needed for final weapon masteries.

If you are struggling with these challenges, here are 4 tips we suggest considering:

• You can track your progress from the Main Menu. Any challenges highlighted in Gold are completed; those in Gray are still pending.
• If you miss a challenge (like failing to catch a Hell Fighter Ship), you can jump back into that specific chapter via Mission Select to finish just that objective. You do not need to finish the whole level for the challenge completion to save.
• Many "Exploration" challenges, such as finding the Cultist Circles, require you to Shield Charge through specific weak walls marked with blue or green Sentinel symbols.
• For the "Hell Fighter" and "Artillery" challenges, if you fail the objective (the ship escapes or the cannon destroys a Sentinel structure), Restart from Checkpoint immediately to try again.

It goes without saying that our team of gamers properly marked the locations of the Mission Challenges on our interactive maps for Doom: The Dark Ages. You can see and access them via the links in the following table.
