Introduction

A guide by PowerPyx, Sellers, Gage

Welcome to the Doom Eternal Trophy Guide! Doom Eternal has a small and straightforward trophy list consisting of only 34 trophies. It’s simple: beat the story and get all Collectibles (there are many types, all of them are needed for trophies, nothing is missable). Then play through the “Extra Life Mode”. Lastly finish the online trophies. You can play everything on the easiest difficulty, including the Extra Life Mode. A fairly standard list with an easy platinum that is doable for every gamer.

Step 1: Play through the Story on any Difficulty (NOT in Extra Life Mode) & Get All Collectibles

First you’ll want to play through Doom Eternal’s Story Mode on any difficulty. Do NOT pick the Extra Life Mode from the beginning (it’s a Permadeath Mode). Not because it would be hard (it isn’t because you can play it on easy) but for two other reasons: First, there is no Mission Select in Extra Life Mode so you have no way to get missing Collectibles or Trophies. Secondly, you can’t use Cheats in Extra Life Mode which means you can’t get trophy “Master of Fasting”. The Cheat Collectible it requires is found very late in the game. This means even if you’d finish Extra Life Mode first, you’d have to play through Standard Mode again to find and use that Cheat Collectible.

Therefore, it makes no sense to start in Extra Life Mode, it would only make things more challenging and you wouldn’t get around a 2nd playthrough either way.

What difficulty you pick for your first playthrough does not matter. You can do all trophies on the lowest difficulty “I’m Too Young To Die”.

Make sure you get all Collectibles as you play through the game. At the end of each mission you unlock Fast Travel. This allows you to revisit all areas in that Mission to mop up Collectibles right away. All Collectibles are pointed out by a Question Mark “?” on the map when you get near them. To make it easier, buy the Praetor Suit Exploration Upgrade “Item Finder” (becomes available in 3rd Mission). It reveals all Collectible Locations on the map. Some are still tricky to find though, as they require solving environmental puzzles. None of the collectibles are missable as you can use Mission Select at any time (except in Extra Life Mode which doesn’t let you replay missions).

Follow the Doom Eternal Collectible Locations Guide along the way.

Glitch Warning: There are some cases where players reported certain collectibles (particularly Slayer Gate Keys) not spawning. Trying via Mission Select doesn’t fix it. The only thing that worked was to use the pause menu and click “Reset Mission” before finishing it. You should go for all Collectibles on the 1st playthrough of the mission. In case something is bugged you will know right away and can Reset the Mission. It’s highly recommended to make a manual backup every few missions to be safe (PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Copy to USB/PS+). In the worst-case scenario you can copy back your save so you don’t need to start from scratch.

Step 2: Play through Extra Life Mode (on Easiest Difficulty “Too Young To Die”)

Extra Life is a Permadeath Mode. However, you can play it on the easiest difficulty and there are lots of Extra Lives placed throughout the game. Dying from enemies or falling down doesn’t mean Game Over, it simply means you lose one of your collected Extra Lives. Since you can play on the lowest difficulty and finished the game before it really won’t be a challenge. You might die once or twice but there are like 40+ Extra Lives placed throughout the levels. You can also skip the Slayer Gates (hardest encounters) because you already did them for collectibles in the 1st playthrough.

There are some timed countdown sections that can result in an instant Game Over if you take too long (won’t let you use an Extra Life). Anything with a countdown (e.g. Mission 5 Timer that goes down) can kill you instantly.

Luckily, it will still make save games. You don’t need to do it in one sitting. If you are dangerously low on extra lives, make a manual save game backup by going to PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Copy to USB / PS+ to back up your save. To be safe just back up your save after every mission. If for some reason you should run out Extra Lives you can copy back the save. Then you have your progress back.

Step 3: Multiplayer (Battlemode)

There are 5 Trophies tied to BATTLEMODE which is the Multiplayer of Doom Eternal. Luckily, all 5 of these trophies can quickly be boosted in private matches but it requires 3 players to boost. Either way these trophies aren’t hard. The only somewhat time-consuming tasks are playing 25 matches and getting 200 kills.

Glitch Warning: Some players have reported online trophies not unlocking correctly (particularly “Weapons Expert”). Should this happen to you, delete your save game and it will wipe all of your online progress and stats. The only thing it actually saves online is your Event XP progress.
