Doom The Dark Ages introduces one of its most valuable resources—the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone. This rare material is crucial for unlocking powerful weapon upgrades, including the devastating "Eat This" super shotgun, a must-have for defeating late-game bosses. However, obtaining the Wraithstone requires completing specific challenges.
In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through how to find and unlock the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone efficiently.

Where to Find the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone


The Wraithstone is located in Chapter 9: "Ancestral Forge." Here’s how to reach it:
  • Head to the Sentinel Shrine – After starting the mission, move forward until you reach the Sentinel Shrine.
  • Take the Right Path – Follow the right-hand route, collecting five resources along the way.
  • Locate the Wolf Statues – You’ll eventually arrive in an area with two large glowing wolf statues. The Wraithstone sits on a throne between them, but it’s initially locked.

  • To claim the stone, you must destroy three small orange-glowing wolf statues scattered across the area.

    How to Unlock the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone

    1. Destroy the First Wolf Statue


    • Near the Wraithstone throne, look for a small glowing wolf statue positioned above another wolf carving.
    • Use the Shield Saw to smash it.

    2. Find and Break the Second Wolf Statue


    • Return to the Sentinel Shrine and follow the yellow marker to a new area.
    • You’ll encounter another locked wolf statue, but demons will spawn first.
    • Eliminate all enemies, then destroy the statue.

    3. Obtain the Secret Key for the Third Statue


    • In the same area, locate a blocked gate (refer to in-game markers).
    • Use your Shield to break the gate and collect the Secret Key inside.
    • Return to the mission’s starting point where you first spawned.
    • Use the key to open a hidden door, revealing the final wolf statue.
    • Destroy it to unlock the Wraithstone.

    4. Claim Your Reward


    • Once all three statues are destroyed, go back to the throne between the two large wolf statues.
    • Interact with the Wraithstone to secure it.

    Why the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone is Worth the Effort


    The "Eat This" super shotgun is one of the most powerful weapons in Doom The Dark Ages, making the Wraithstone essential for players looking to dominate late-game bosses.

    Pro Tips for Success:


    Use the Shield Saw efficiently – It’s the best tool for breaking statues.
    Stay alert for ambushes – Demons will attack when trying to destroy the second statue.
    Explore thoroughly – The Secret Key is easy to miss if you rush.

    Final Thoughts


    The Ancestral Forge Wraithstone is a game-changing resource in Doom The Dark Ages, and securing it early will give you a major advantage in combat. By following this guide, you’ll unlock the "Eat This" super shotgun and tear through enemies with ease.
