DOOM: The Dark Ages Trophy / Achievement Roadmap

With a little bit of planning, players can unlock all of the DOOM: The Dark Ages achievements in a single playthrough, which should take under 15 hours. To do so, they should make a point of getting every collectible that the game has to offer, including Gold, Rubies, and Wraithstones. This will allow them to upgrade all of the Slayer's equipment. They'll also want to complete all of the Chapter-specific challenges and optional encounters, which means closing all of the Gore Nests (red portals) they come across.

That just leaves the eleven weapon mastery challenges, which become available once a weapon has been fully upgraded. If players pay close enough attention to the challenge requirements, they'll be able to complete these as they make their way through the main story. If not, weapon mastery for all eleven weapons can be farmed in a couple of hours, with the Harbor of Souls and Reckoning chapters being the best places to accomplish this.
