Doom The Dark Ages Revelations Achievements Overview
To achieve 100% completion in the DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations DLC, players must conquer both the story campaign and the brutal endgame arenas. The expansion introduces a fresh set of achievements that build upon the base game's 38 achievements on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation 5.
The achievement list is divided into three main categories: Campaign Progression, Combat Mastery (specifically utilizing the new Chain Spear), and Ripatorium 3.0/Master Arena challenges.
| Achievement Category | Focus Area | Difficulty Rating | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campaign Progression | Complete all 6 story levels and defeat story bosses | Moderate | 4 - 6 Hours |
| Combat Mastery | Perform specific kills, parries, and Chain Spear moves | Medium | 2 - 3 Hours |
| Endgame Challenges | Clear Master Arenas and unlock custom Ripatorium setups | High | 3 - 5 Hours |
If you encounter any issues where your controls display as "???" during the Chain Spear tutorials, navigate to Settings > Inputs and reset your Slayer Controls to default.

Master Arenas and Ripatorium 3.0 Achievements
The final tier of achievements requires you to dive into the endgame systems added in Update 4. You must conquer the Master Arenas and customize your own slaughter chambers in Ripatorium 3.0.
