Doom: The Dark Ages Trophy Guide

DOOM: The Dark Ages contains 28 Trophies (or Achievements) for the player to earn—29, if you include the PlayStation 5 exclusive Platinum Trophy. Following is a trophy breakdown by trophy, how to get it, and tips on how to make your journey to 100% completion flawless.

The game is gentle on completionists: none of the trophies are missable, and they can be obtained on the lowest difficulty level, so it’s perfect for new players to the series and veterans alike. A 100% trophy run will take about 16 hours or so, but experienced players can cut a couple of hours by being well-prepared.

Doom: The Dark Ages Trophy Guide

How to Get 100% Completion in the Game?

  • Play at “Hurt Me Plenty”: You won’t be missing trophies, and easy difficulty will enable you to focus on upgrades and collectables.
  • Use Chapter Select: Replay all the missions to clean up for overlooked collectibles or trophies.
  • Upgrade Order: Focus on your Shield Saw, Demonic Essences, and weapon upgrades first. Mastery Challenges are less hectic if done slowly rather than all at once at the end.
  • Have a checklist handy: Because collectables are organized into 22 chapters, keeping a progress record avoids you wasting valuable time searching for them lost.
