All secret landing spots for ‘Layover’ in Doom: The Dark Ages
In Doom: The Dark Ages’ chapter 5, “The Holy City of Aratum,” you must find two secret landing spots to land your flying cyber…demon…dragon… thing to complete the chapter’s “Layover” challenge.
This challenge aren’t mandatory for you to finish the chapter and progress the story, but it’s always worth checking what they are asking you to do. These are secondary missions that can give you great prizes from gold to skins for your weapons, and rubies to upgrade them.
In this Doom: The Dark Ages guide, we’ll show you where to find all secret landing spots for the “Layover” challenge, and explain how you can reach them.
Doom: Dark Ages ‘Layover’ secret landing spot #1
As you start Chapter 5 “The Holy City of Aratum,” you need to complete a brief tutorial that teaches you how to fly your dragon. When you’re done with it and facing the city, you can already go straight to the secret landing spots.
The first one you find in a small tower to the left defended by a Titan. (This is the same demon you faced in the tutorial at the beginning of the chapter.) Dodge their shots to empower your gun and kill it. The green arrow indicating the landing spot appears only after the Titan is dead.
Be prepared, because as soon as you step into the area after landing, demons appear — and among them, there is a leader. You definitely want to win this fight because this leader gives you a health upgrade.
After clearing the area, go back to your mount. It’s time to find the second spot.
Doom: Dark Ages ‘Layover’ secret landing spot #2
To find the last secret landing spot in Chapter 5, you need to go to the center of the city and descend to the lowest part. At the bottom, you will find a central circular area surrounded by three pillars.
Two of the pillars have Titans who will start shooting as soon as they see you. Try your best to engage with one but keep a safe distance from the other. Doing so prevents you from having to dodge multiple shots at the same time.
When you defeat the two of them, the green arrow indicating that you can land in the center will appear. You want to explore this area thoroughly since it has one ruby and a Nightmare skin for you to get.
