Doom: The Dark Ages: Every Weapon in the Game, Ranked
From Skullcrushers to the Super Shotgun, what firearms are the best in the Slayers arsenal?
There are a total of 11 secrets to find in the Siege Part 1 level of the game. Some are more well hidden than others, and we know where to find all of them.
Wolf Statue Puzzle
This Ruby requires destroying the three wolf statues hidden nearby with a Shield Throw, which will then light the corresponding wolf statue. When all three are lit, the Ruby can be retrieved.
Wolf Statue #1
The first wolf can be found on the other side of the rock wall below the Ruby.
Wolf Statue #2
The second wolf is located across from the Ruby on top of a patch of large rocks.
Wolf Statue #3
The third wolf is located inside a cave on the path below the Ruby location.
Secret Key
The secret key can be found on a wooden platform near a stone arch on a raised pathway overlooking some wooden booths. See the map above for the exact location.
Slayer Toy
On the side of the central mountain (see the map above for the exact location), there is a cave leading to a locked door. Unlocking it with the Secret Key will reveal a small room containing the Slayer Toy collectible.
Just past the first Gore Portal at the start of the level (see the map above for the exact location), there will be a Gore Nest (a small spire with a green Shield Charge symbol on it). Shield Charge through the nest to initiate an encounter, locking you in the area with some enemies.
Upon defeating all the enemies, the walls will lift, and the Ruby will be available to be collected.
Gold Chest #1
At the very backside of the map (see the map above for the exact location), there is a series of wooden booths with a Vagary mini-boss in the center of them. Defeating the mini-boss will unlock a gold chest nearby.
Mancubus Toy
At the foot of the gigantic stone statue, near the swamp area of the map, there is a Mancubus Toy collectible, which can be accessed via a path up the hill from the opposite direction.
Gold Chest #2-3
Inside one of the caves inside the mountain, a series of enemies will spawn. Defeat them to open a portal, which will teleport you to an underground dungeon.
Use the Shield switch to unlock the path to a breakable wall, which has a movable crate that will reveal a path back out to the main area. Climb up the crate, and below the upper platform the Gold Chest can be found and unlocked.
Open the door to the outside on the upper platform and follow the path to your right. There will be another Gold Chest overlooking the canyon below you.
Gold Chest #4 and Life Sigil #1
Inside the room containing theChainshot, you’ll be able to find a Gold Chest near the exit of the room.
There is also a jump pad that leads to a path where you’re able to find the first Life Sigil in the level.
Gold Chest #5
Inside the two-sided chamber containing one of the Gore Portals surrounded by cultists, there is a pair of hanging weights near a large gate. Knock down the weights, then climb up the weight and look to the right. Hop onto the right weight, then into the window across from it.
The pathway will lead down the stairs, to a Gold Chest that opens the door when broken.
Kreed Makyr Codex
Head to the secondSentinel Shrine near the swamp, and look to the left of it. Head along the path while hugging the rock wall, until you reach a climbing wall.
Climb the wall and follow the path of gold bars to the Codex, which contains information on the Kreed Makyr.
Gold Chest #6
At the far end of the swamp, there is a giant tentacle monster hiding in the water (see the map above for the exact location). This will reveal a hole under the water that you may jump into with an underwater passage inside.
Follow the underwater passage and avoid the hazards, then swim up to the end of the path. You’ll arrive inside a nearby room, where the gold chest can be found and the door to the outside will open.
On thefar leftside of the map (when facing out from the entrance near the flail pickup), there is a wall that can be climbed (see the map above for the exact location). Climb it, then follow the path to the secret cove inside. Jump into the water and swim under the passage to the left.
Climb up the wall above the water, then defeat the enemies in the room in front of the Shield switch. Open the door via the switch above, then head forward to the lever in the next room.
The center chamber holding the Ruby will drop into the water, and you’ll be able to swim under the surface of the water to enter the chamber and retrieve the Ruby.
Impaler Weapon Skin
In the samecove, there is a pathway leading left from the entrance. There is a door that can be unlocked with the secret key, which reveals a path to the collectible “Nightmare” weapon skin for the Impaler weapon.
Siege - Part 1 Codex
At the back of the map (see the map above for the exact location), there is a raised stone area that can’t be accessed. To get there, head up the pathway nearby, then sprint jump across the gap to collect the codex, which contains information on the level.
There is an underground chamber that can be accessed by dropping into an area (below the gap you jumped across) near the codex from the previous step. There is a door (unlocked with the secret key) containing a Ruby collectible.
