Charging the Ancestral Heart in Doom The Dark Ages
At the start of this chapter, the Doomslayer can follow the objective marker and take on hordes of enemies along the way. Doom The Dark Ages features a variety of challenges to spice up the experience, and accomplishing these can lead to worthwhile rewards. Chapter 9 has a massive map, and you can accomplish most of the challenges early on. Here are all the challenges and their rewards in Chapter 9, Ancestral Forge:
- Nothing But Nade: 50 Gold Reward
- Sawed Off: 50 Gold Reward
- Seven Secrets: Skin reward
The first two challenges are straightforward, and you can accomplish them before you reach the first objective marker. You must hit 10 enemies directly with the grenade launcher and lockdown 20 enemies with your shield saw. The last challenge can be done over time since there are multiple secret areas in this chapter.
Proceed to flip the three switches for the current objective, and the forge will be reactivated. The only downside—each switch couldn’t be further apart and is guarded by enemies. The next objective is to find the entrance.
Find the Entrance
Follow the objective marker, and eventually, you will reach the entrance, where Commander Thira will accompany you to the next area. The pair will take a lift down to a lower level, and a cutscene showcasing the lore will play out. After the cutscene, the Leader will reveal themselves along with an army. Your objective is clear: take on hostile forces and defeat the Leader.
This boss fight is on the more challenging side, especially since the Leader is shielded and has a bunch of smaller soldiers on their side. You can break the shield by focusing your attacks and firepower on his minions. The army has its own health bar, the purple bar, which also serves as a shield meter. The faster his men drop, the faster the shield can break. You can start shooting and bashing the Leader once most of his troops are down.
Once the Leader is defeated, this marks the end of Doom The Dark Ages Chapter 9.
