The City of Ry’uul is one of the bigger levels inDOOM: The Dark Ages. In turn, while you’re exploring this cosmic world, you might not be able to find all the secrets and collectibles. On top of that, there are several instances where you may need to backtrack, which could leave you even more confused.

Since the majority of the secrets you need to find in this level are out of the way, getting 100 percent may be a challenging task. While you can redo the mission and get everything on a second or third run, this guide will help you find every secret on your first attempt.

After you make it through, enter the room,but turn around and look upas soon as you go in. You’ll see a point where you’re able to throw your shield atand jump to. Once you make it to the upper platform,turn around again and jump acrossto the elevator.

As you make it up the elevator shaft,look to your left. There will be apile of gold. On theright is a monolith, allowing you to exitthe room.

Life Sigil 1

Now that you have the first ruby,jump down and make your way to the story marker. You can follow the path byjumping through the first shield dashpoint to make it to the other ledge.

After you land on the other side, keepfollowing the story marker by going straight and climbing the wall. This will lead you to a hallway with another open space and ashield dash at the end.

When you leave the hallway,immediately turn left. Go all the wayto the ledge and drop. There will be tons of gold on the path. At the end of this path, you can findthe first Life Sigil.

From here,go back to the same path you used with the wall to climb on. Take the shield dash point to make it to another ledge, and thenturn left. However, instead of using the shield dash point on the left,keep straight and jump down.
