DOOM The Dark Ages has just released recently, and it features a wide range of puzzles and secrets that you can complete for various rewards or just for the sake of completion.

During chapter 8, one of your objectives will be to get to the forge by finding a path through the barracks. Along the way, as you clear areas while following the quest marker, you will come across the tower that it is pointing you towards.

Instead of proceeding there, turn left and follow the linear path into the secret, which is conveniently shown in your map just like all of the others. As you have probably noticed by now, these are shown in the map as question mark symbols.

There is a gap you need to jump over as you go down to this area, so be careful if you are just speeding through it!

There is no special method to go there or anything. You only need to follow where the arrows in the map image below are going. The game will eventually tell you that you have found a secret area.

Here, you will notice a cage in the middle of the room, which is keeping you from picking up the collectible. Clear all of the demons in the room and then head to the right side of the room, past the first fire trap.

If you look up, you will notice a glowing orange object above you. Throw your shield at it to raise the portcullis hiding another mechanism just past the next fire trap to your left.

This will reveal a light blue glowing gear, which you should also throw your shield at. Upon doing this, the cage in the middle of the room should now open, revealing the secret hidden inside. Touch the floating question mark symbol to receive the Witch toy!
