Doom The Dark Ages Achievements Roadmap
As we mentioned above, Doom The Dark Ages has a total of 28 achievements for players to unlock. There are also a handful of milestones on top of these achievements that will help you unlock cosmetics. If you want to beat Doom The Dark Ages to collect all the trophies, it might take around 15+ hours.
Most of the milestones in The Dark Ages are tied to the story, combat challenges, collectibles, and progression-based tasks. You’ll unlock several trophies just by playing through the campaign naturally. Others, like mastering all weapons or killing enemies with specific finishers, require more effort.
There are also Doom The Dark Ages trophies related to hidden secrets and optional boss fights. Collectibles like Codex pages and upgrade items will play a big part in reaching 100%. I highly recommend you play on normal difficulty settings first to get used to the mechanics and then mop up the remaining trophies. A second playthrough might be needed if you miss any mission-specific or difficulty-related achievements. Overall, the roadmap looks manageable for most players, especially for those familiar with past DOOM games.
