As you head into Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter Two, Hebeth, you’ll notice much has changed from the previous level. We now have gold to spend, a Shield Saw to throw around, and more secrets to find. There are over nine secret locations, with plenty of other resources to gather.
All Chapter 2 secret and collectible locations in Doom: The Dark Ages
Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter Two has nine secret areas, three collectibles, and 210 gold to find. Here’s a list of every location and its respective collectibles, including how to find all 210 gold:
Secret one
Shortly after equipping the Shield Saw and using it to mow down some shielded enemies, you’ll enter a Weapons Facility with several branching paths. Down one path, you’ll spot a Life Sigil blocked by glass, which you can access by breaking the purple circle door directly south of this spot and following the path until you reach the Sigil.
Secret two
Immediately after collecting the first secret, head toward the quest marker to enter a room with a staircase. Heading up the stairs and turning left will reveal an exit leading to your quest marker. However, rather than going this way, turn around to spot two metal crates leading to a secret vent passageway. Jumping down here will lead you directly to the Imp Stalker Toy, knocking out your first collectible for this chapter.
Codex Page
Although we’re ready to continue the main quest, you won’t go far before finding your second collectible. Head along the path, pull down the door’s lever, and run forward until you reach a ledge to jump down. Go down here and stomp the demons that cross your path before entering a small room. You’ll spot a door blocked by superheated metal on your right, while your left has several boxes to jump over.
Jumping over these boxes reveals a Hebeth Codex page you can collect, marking your second collectible of this run. The game doesn’t count this as a secret, but it is missable if you beeline it through the mission. You’re now ready to head the opposite way, break the superheated metal door, and make some money.
Secret three
After finding the Codex page, you’ll learn how to find gold and use the Sentinel Shrine to upgrade your gear. Following this tutorial, a green door will open nearby, letting you progress into a room with a few splitting paths. Go opposite the quest marker before turning right toward a red portal barrier.
Above this barrier is a wall you can climb, leading you directly to five gold and your third secret of this chapter. A demon’s also waiting for you here, so be ready for some quick combat.
Secret four
It won’t take long to find your next secret. Heading toward the quest marker, run through the corridors until you find a large stone statue. Turn right, left, and right away to spot a purple circle door to smash through with your shield. Doing this will propel you into your fourth secret area, with five gold bars available as your reward.
Secret five
Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter Two’s fifth secret isn’t available until after you unlock the Accelerator. After acquiring this weapon, head through the doors to find a horned helmet and two paths going left and right. Although hordes of enemies will naturally make you steer right, your destination is on your left instead.
Heading left, you’ll find a metal grate with a circle you can break through using your shield. Doing this reveals five gold and a Life Sigil for you to claim. You’re now safe to progress through the main story until you reach your first Point of No Return.
Secret six
The next few are slightly tricky to spot. As you enter the Point of No Return, run along the path past the fire door until you reach the top of a staircase. Turn immediately left here to climb up the ledge, letting you collect five gold and break some superheated metal to access a valve. This valve will let you disable the fire door and enter it to claim nine gold and a Life Sigil.
Secret seven
Further down the main story’s path, you’ll see two titans fighting in the background, a demon horde bombarding you, and a side room leading back into the facility. Walking inside rewards you with eight gold, marking off your seventh secret. Now, you only have two more to find.
Secret eight
Finding Chapter Two’s eighth secret requires entering another Point of No Return by jumping down a pit. Following this path will teach you Shield Recall, letting you leap across a massive void using your shield and access the rest of the level’s secrets.
Once you use Shield Recall to jump across the gap, run straight forward to access a tunnel, letting you access a chest containing 50 gold. Punch it to claim your prize, letting you move on to the final secret.
Secret nine
After collecting secret eight’s gold, follow the main quest’s path until it diverges. Rather than going through the main story marker, head forward and climb up the three nearby crates to access a climb point. Follow the path from here to collect eight gold and a Shredder Weapon Skin, wrapping up Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter Two’s secrets.
All Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter 2 gold
Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter Two is also the first time you’re introduced to gold, a currency that lets you upgrade your gear from this level onward. Here’s where you can find all 210 gold:
As you progress through the main story, you’ll find a quest task asking you to collect 75 gold from the surrounding area. The room’s center chest holds 50, while the corridors around this room, marked on your map, have the remaining 25. You can’t progress past this point without collecting this gold, making it unmissable.
Your next chance to find gold is while exploring the map and discovering secrets three and four. Each location holds five gold, bringing your total up to 85. Progressing through the main story’s path will eventually take you to a cultist’s room and a blue keycard with enough gold bars to raise your total to 101.
With the blue keycard on hand, you’ll have access to a new part of the facility, including more gold locations. Secret five is your next destination, holding five gold and a Life Sigil. Shortly after collecting these and following the main quest objective’s map marker, you’ll enter a vent with a machine shooting a projectile you can parry, revealing eight additional gold.
Following the main story quest marker from here will bring you full circle to the red portal area from Secret Three, which is now unlocked for you to collect 16 gold and increase your total to 130.
After some time, you’ll hit a Point of No Return as you search for the level’s fifth secret. As you follow the path to this secret, you’ll gather five gold before breaking some superheated metal, followed by nine gold behind the fire door, bumping up your total to 144.
The next three secrets are where the rest of your money is. Secret seven is just along the main story’s path inside a small room, while secret eight has a golden chest containing 50 gold. Last but certainly not least, you have secret nine, holding eight gold and a weapon skin. Entering these three secret areas will wrap up the remaining gold you need, bringing you to 210 to spend on weapon upgrades.
How to find Demonic Essence in Doom: The Dark Ages
Your final collectible for this level is Demonic Essence, a permanent buff you receive by killing elite enemies. In this case, it’s unmissable, as you’ll obtain by defeating the chapter’s boss. Eliminating the boss at the end of this level will give you the Demonic Essence for a permanent health boost lasting the rest of your playthrough.
Once you find all 210 gold and nine secrets, you’ll be ready to wrap up Chapter Two, Hebeth, and venture into Chapter three. If you didn’t quite grab every secret in the previous level, be sure to check out our guide on every Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter One secret location.
