Now that DOOM The Dark Ages has been released, there are a lot of new secrets and optional challenges that players are still figuring out as we speak. Among these are the layover challenges that require you to dismount the dragon at secret landing zones throughout the levels that have them. In this guide, we will show you how to find two of them in chapter 5.

First up, when you enter chapter 5 on your dragon, immediately turn to your left as soon as you enter the city. On top of one of the towers is a giant demon that you can kill. Beat it however way you see fit, and you will reveal the first landing site.

After you kill it, regardless of whether or not you use a finisher, a green highlight will show up over the spot it was standing on. This is a landing site, and all you need to do is dismount your dragon over it to complete this part of the challenge.

Next, you will want to approach one of the hell carriers that you have to destroy in this level. More specifically, head towards the one closest to the tower you just landed on.

Instead of going straight up, look down to the left. Keep flying down and you will find a pair of the same giant enemies below. What you have to do is kill both of them first, and it does not matter how or which order. Just get them out of the way.

Once they are dead, another green highlight will appear in the middle structure, just between these two towers. This is the second landing zone, and since there are only two in this level, congratulations! You should now be completely done with this challenge for this particular map.

There are plenty of other challenges that you can do, though some of these require absolutely no outside help to find or do. Keep on playing the game and exploring every nook and cranny in these levels to discover more secrets and unlock optional rewards that you might want to get!
