Use the dragon’s Assault Mode to kill the enemy and finish it off. The first secret Landing Zone will spawn as soon as you kill the enemy. You’ll need to defeat a horde of enemies after landing, so be ready for a fight!
After defeating the enemies, your dragon will return. Mount it again and fly to the center of the city, where the large flying ship is.
Go to the bottom of that circular section of the city. You’ll find another pair of large, towering enemies there. Defeat them both!
After killing both of these enemies, the second secret Landing Zone will spawn on the central platform. Just land on it like you did before and the Layover Challenge will be automatically marked as completed.
So, there you have it, that’s how to dismount the dragon at two secret Landing Zones for the Chapter 5 Challenges in DOOM: The Dark Ages.
