Final Blurb
Nothing in DOOM: The Dark Ages is missable if you explore and clean up before finishing the campaign. Keep an eye on mastery challenges and collectible progress between missions. Most upgrades and collectibles are tied to exploration, so smash every wall, climb every ledge, and check your map often. If it screams or glows it’s probably worth XP.
