Breakdown of Collectibles

Imp Stalker Toy

Toys are a recurring secret in the Doom series, and Doom: The Dark Ages continues this tradition. This one is found early in the level by navigating through a series of vents. Picking it up assists with in-game achievements and unlocks.

Hebeth Codex Entry

Found near the Sentinel Shrine, this entry provides background and lore on the Hebeth facility. It’s important for players who are interested in the game’s story.

Nightmare Skin

Hebeth also has the Nightmare Skin for the Shredder weapon. The skins are purely cosmetic but give a particular appearance. To find it, finish the in-game challenge dealing with the brush icon on your map.

Gold & Demonic Essence

During Hebeth, there are 210 gold units in total. They are needed to level up weapons and equipment at the Sentinel Shrines. Killing the chapter leader enemy (a tough Pinky Rider) will also give you a Demonic Essence, increasing your health permanently.

Additional Tips

• Check the Map: Watch for the areas on the map that are not accessible and for things that need to be picked up.
• Pay Attention to Audio Cues: Secrets usually make a weak sound that can guide you to their location.
• Backtrack When Needed: Some places are only accessible after the acquisition of certain skills or by creating events.
• Do Challenges: Performing challenges in the game not only gives you collectibles like the Nightmare Skin but also improves your experience.

Final Thoughts

With thorough exploration of Hebeth and application of this guide, you will ensure no secret or collectible is missed. Good luck with your demon killing in Doom: The Dark Ages!
