Hebeth is, for all intents and reasons, the first real stage inDoom: The Dark Ages. While you’ll already have engaged in a little treasure hunting at this point, the amount of secrets, collectibles, and gold present in Hebeth is a huge step-up.
On the note of gold, Hebeth is where you will first get access to the Sentinel Shrine - which acts as your shop. Alongside this shop comes the inclusion of plenty of gold. This guide is in sequential order and will point you in the direction of each collectible. Just follow along to geteverything!

First Hebeth Life Sigil
The first area with a hidden room is found after you first enter the facility, directly after the tutorial section of the stage that teaches you how to throw your shield.There is a door you may shield charge through on your left. Shoot the summoners, and turn the corner to find the Life Sigil.
Hebeth Imp Stalker Toy
In the room next to the one that held the secret room with the cultists, you’ll climb a set of stairs. Hook around to your right after reaching the top of the stairs, andyou’ll see a pair of crates nestled at the end of a hallway. Jump on them so that you can hop up an area above those boxes. Once above the boxes, you’ll be facing a massive, open shaft: drop down into the void, and you’ll land in a vent that leads you directly to the Imp Stalker toy.
The Hebeth Codex
Once you reach the section where you climb a short set of stairs and run into a climbable wall, turn back around, head down the stairs, and you should be facing ahallway that has been barricaded with crates. Jump up and over them, and you’ll find a Codex.
The First Hidden Gold Cache
In the section directlyafter you are introduced to the Stone Imp enemy type, you will enter a doorway to the right of a massive statue.Hang a left to find a door that is breakablewith a Shield Charge. Smash through that door and you’ll find a pile of gold.
In the room after the one with the golden chest and Sentinel Shrine, take a right. You’ll see a room that is blocked off by a magical barrier.Jump over the glowing red barrier to the climbable wall above it, climb up, and you’ll be in a hallway lined with gold. Watch out though,there’s also an Impat the end of this hallway.
The Second Hebeth Life Sigil
In the room next to the one where you get your Plasma Accelerator, there is a vent that’s breakable by Shield Charge. Smash through it and claim the gold hidden inside. There’s alsoa Life Sigil at the end of the tunnel.
The Gold In The Vent
When you enter a vent that features a turret firing energy blasts at regular intervals, destroy it bydeflecting the green energy boltwith your shield. It’ll leave a stack of gold behind.
The Hebeth Cultists
After leaving the room with a massive hologram of the massive Atlan Mech, you’ll fight a Mancubus and a bunch of Plasma Shield Soldiers. You’ll be back in the area next to the room with the Sentinel Shrine (the shop).This is the same area that previously had a red-glowing magical wallblocking you from entering a room.Thankfully,that barrier will now be down.So, head in there, kill the cultists and grab the gold sitting in the back of the room.
The Big Hebeth Gold Cache
When you reach the areawhere fire is venting in front of a doorway, travel upward. Once you reach a dead end, that will lead to a large drop, look to your left. You’ll see a climbable wall. Scale it, then grab the gold up above. Now, throw your shield at the super-heated metal door.Jump across, and you’ll enter a room with some ammo and armor. Turn the wheel, and you’ll shut off the gas supply, extinguishing the flames blocking that door.
Shield Charge through the door of the room you are in, enter into the room that was previously blocked by the wall of fire, and then grab the gold and Life Sigil inside. Be warned,there’s also a Hell Knight here. Hook around the hallway, grab the ammo, and shield charge through the door. You’ll now be back on the main path.
The Gold Room Near The Titans
After clearing out the areawhere you fight the Mancubus as well as a ton of Stone Imps, Shield Soldiers, and Hell Knights. This is the area that is out in the open with the titans fighting in the background. Once all the enemies are dead, a room will open up with a pile of gold inside.
The Treasure Chest Above The Shrine
In the area where you just learned the Shield Jump, look up and you’ll see a treasure chest. Now,with your back facing the Sentinel Shrine, look to your left. You’ll see a rotten, fleshy pathway. Travel up it, scale a climbable wall, and you will be led directly to the chest.
The Shredder Nightmare Skin
After climbing the wall beside the second Sentinel Shrine, look for an open vent above. Climb up the boxes near the open vent, jump up to it, climb the vent, and grab the gold lining it. Follow the vent down, grabbing gold as you go, andyou’ll end up in a room with the Nightmare skin for your Shredder. You’ll need to fight a Mancubus and an Imp Stalker in here. Once you clear them out, you’ll be back on the main path.
Before jumping down into the room with the skin, you may want to attempt to pick enemies off from the vent above. It may be cheesy, but it is effective.
Demonic Essence
Acquiring the Demonic Essence is simply a matter of defeating the stage’s boss: the Elite Pinky Rider. This guy is essentially just a really, really tough Pinky Rider. The only new attack he has at his disposal fires spiked shields in all directions. Naturally, you want tolook for the spiked shield that’s glowing green and parry it.
Beyond that, make sure to circle the arena and take out the fodder. They’ll come in waves, and you don’t want to deal with them while having to fight off this jacked Demon Lord. You’ll earn your first Demonic Essence once you execute the Pinky Rider Demon Lord.
