Where to find Wolf Statues in Doom The Dark Ages

Throwing your shield at demons is the bread and butter of Doom: The Dark Ages. However, Wolf Statues are also valuable targets to aim your shield at.

In each chapter of Doom: The Dark Ages, there are many secrets to discover. Maps may hide little toys in underground tunnels or Nightmare skins in platforms that seem impossible to reach. Finding all of them is not mandatory, but some rewards — like Gold, Rubies and, Wraithsones — are fundamental if you plan on upgrading your weapons.

Wolf Statues can offer you these materials as rewards — but only if you can find them! Below, we’ll show you where to find all Wolf Statues we’ve found so far in Doom: The Dark Ages, plus the rewards you get from them.

Where to find Wolf Statues in Doom: The Dark Ages

Three translucent Wolf Statues. All of them are facing an altar which hold a Ruby in Doom: The Dark Ages.

Wolf Statues are guardians of unique treasures, and each of them are linked to other Wolf Statues, which are hidden around each level and will break if you throw your shield at them. The barrier protecting the item only disappears after all the statues in a given level are destroyed.

You can know how many statues you must find by counting how many are around the barrier. To identify the ones you must break, just look for wolf statues that are glowing red. As you eliminate Wolf Statues around the map, the translucent statues around the barrier turn into stone.

So far, we’ve found Wolf Statues in two levels in Doom: The Dark Ages:

  1. The Siege – Part 1 (Chapter 6)
  2. Ancestral Forge (Chapter 9)

The Siege – Part 1 (Chapter 6)   

A map showing the location of the Ruby you acquire by breaking three Wolf Statues in Doom: The Dark Ages’s Chapter 6.

There are three Wolf Statues in Chapter 6 guarding a Ruby, and while this map might be a little bit byzantine, finding all three statues is not too much trouble.

To find the statues, turn right from the main gate. Go ahead for a while, destroy a massive tank and then look to your left. You will see, a little higher from where you are, the three translucent wolves around the Ruby.

The first Wolf Statue you can find in Chapter 6 is really close to where the ruby is located. Just need to kill all enemies in the area to unlock it.

Now, the ones you need to break are considerably close. The first one is right beside the area where the Ruby is. You need to first kill all the enemies — which involves defeating a Vagary — in the area to disable the force field around it.

The second statue is hidden inside a small cave next to the ruby as well. You can easily see the statue from where the Ruby is.

The imagem shows part of Chapter 6 map and the location of the third Wolf Statue. It is in the opposite side of the second statue on the higher ground.

The final statue is in the opposite direction from the Ruby. When facing the statue holding the Ruby, turn around and you will see the Wolf Statue. 

Ancestral Forge (Chapter 9)

The image shows the map of Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter 9 and the location of the Wraithstone which you can collect by breaking three Wolf Statues. The reward is located to the left side of the map.

While you try to make the Ancestral Forge work again, you can look for the three Wolf Statues hidden in Chapter 9. You will receive a Wraithstone once you find all of them, the only material that unlocks a weapon’s final upgrade.

The Wraithstone and the three Wolf Statues are located on the left side of the map. You can find the first Wolf Statue by turning right to where the altar is.

Before you even start looking for the second statue, you should get the Purple Key. To find it, you want to leave the main gate, turn right and head toward the red zone in this direction.

The image shows part of Doom: The Dark Ages Chapter 9 map with a pink circle showing where the Purple Key is located. Beside it, there is a picture of where breakable wall. Players should go through it to find the key.

You need to first defeat the leader in this zone, but once you’re done, you can look for the entrance to the corridor to the left side of the arena that will take you to the key. Break it with your shield and you can get the Purple Key.

Go back to where you started in this chapter and you will find a Purple Gate. Open it with the key to find the second Wolf Statue. 

The image shows part of Doom: The Dark Age Chapter 9 map showing the location of the third Wolf Statue. It is on the right side of the map. You can also see a statue of a wolf surrounded by energy field.

Now, you can find the third and last statue by going to the opposite side of the map from where the Wraithstone is. You will find it in an area between the two remaining red zones. It is protected by some enemies, but killing them disables the barrier around it.
