12 articlesA specific secret room during the Hebeth chapter in DOOM: The Dark Ages will require you to turn off a fire blocking its door.
Trying to just go past the fire doesn’t work. It deals damage and pushes you, preventing you from interacting with the door behind… if you even survive the damage, that is. You have to work smarter here, not harder.
Read on and we’ll tell you how to get rid of that pesky fire so that you can loot the secret room.

While facing the fire door itself, turn to your left and follow the linear path there until you reach a flight of stairs.
Go up the stairs and then turn left again to spot a marked wall. Jump toward the wall to climb it and reach the ledge above.
You should notice an orange cross with chains directly in front of you as soon as you climb. Throw your shield at that cross to break it and open up an entry to a closed room. Jump right into the hole after breaking the cross.
Once you’re inside the room, drop onto the lower floor and turn to your left. Interact with the valve in front of you, on the right side of the room. That will turn off the fire blocking you from reaching the secret room’s door. Then, charge the door with the green shield symbol to open it.
With that done, just leave the room. You’ll be face to face with the secret room’s door! The fires are now gone, so you can just walk up to the door to open it. Go into the room to collect the resources and Life Sigil within, but do be warned that an enemy will attempt to attack you there. It shouldn’t pose much of a threat, though.
That’s all you need to know to get past the fire door and enter the secret room during the Hebeth chapter in DOOM: The Dark Ages. Are you also wondering how to get a fancy golden outfit? Check out our guide on how to unlock the Conqueror skin for the Slayer, Atlans, and Dragons.
