Doom: The Dark Ages: Secret Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Doom: The Dark Ages, exploration is as important as combat. With a staggering 163 Secret Locations spread across the campaign, the game encourages you to check every inch of its medieval world.


While finding every secret doesn't grant a specific trophy, these locations are the only places to find the Toys, Rubies, Life Sigils, and Gold required for all other major achievements and 100% completion.


Most of the 163 secrets fall into one of these four categories:


  • Weak Walls (The Shield Bash): Look for walls with slight cracks or blue/green Sentinel markings. A Shield Charge will shatter these, revealing hidden rooms.
  • Vertical Grapples: Many secrets are on high rafters or cliffs. Use the Shield Saw's zip-line capability to pull yourself toward blue anchor points.
  • Triggers: Look for Blue Gears that can be hit to rotate bridges, or Energy Nodes that open timed gates when hit with a shield throw.
  • Slayer Key Gates: Secrets" on your map are large areas locked behind Blue, Yellow, or Red keys found later in the same mission.


With 163 locations to track, missing just one can be frustrating, so we have decided to mark all their locations on our interactive mission maps for Doom: The Dark Ages and also list them in the table below for easier access.
