Navigate the Chasm of Xal'Goroth
Once you reach the area, walk forward into the hallway and grab the Codex "Trial of Will" in front of you. Since you cannot go through the locked door nearby, keep progressing through the hall until you reach the end and interact with the stone, which will be locked away inside a stone casing. You will teleport into another zone, so turn around and take either of the two sets of stairs up.
Upon reaching the platform, the passage ahead will manifest for you, so keep trudging forward. Upon reaching the next platform, look to the right and use your shield to fling yourself through the circular gate. When you land on your feet, enter the room, after which some enemies will spawn. Dispatch them and move forward.
Take the left path from the purple door and defeat the handful of enemies at the end of the corridor. On the left, you will see a blue club. Throw your shield at it to open up a new path on the right above, then grapple up using your Chain Spear.
Upon exiting the corridor, you will find another green ring, so shield bash through it to reach the other side. Defeat more enemies and take note of the trail of white pickables on the ground. Follow them to the level below and turn around to find the Mask Relic piece sitting in the corner.
Use the jump pad at the end to return to the upper area, then turn around and trudge forward, following the objective marker. Hop through another green ring and follow the linear path until you are launched onto a floating platform. Turn around and drop down to the level below.
After climbing the wall and reaching the upper level, look up on the left to see a grapple point that will take you up. This leads to another green flinging ring, which throws you inside a hole with water awaiting you at the end. Swim towards the light to reach the edge of solid ground and continue through the ruins.
Defeat the enemies ahead and move through the door for the next step of Chapter 4 in Doom The Dark Ages Revelations.
Destroy the Power Cores
The objective will now update, requiring you to find and destroy two Power Cores. Move through the marked door, and you will arrive face-to-face with a large block. Push it, causing it to go flying across the gap to the other side, then chuck your shield at it to activate the bridge. This will also summon enemies, so be wary.
Defeat them and take the path to the left of the block to continue forward. You will arrive in a room with the first core on the left side of it, but you will be unable to destroy it yet, as the blue switch on the ground remains inaccessible. Follow the objective marker once again to head through another door into a room where more foes spawn. Use the two jump pads here to gain the upper hand.
As you fight through waves of demons, the area will expand, granting you more mobility but also spawning hordes of powerful monsters, making this the toughest challenge so far in the Chasm of Xal' Goroth in Doom The Dark Ages Revelations. Once everyone has been dealt with, move on to the next room where a puzzle awaits.
To start, detach the block as shown in the above image with the shield so it is free to move. Once it has dropped down onto the arm, grab it and pull it to the left with the Chain Spear. Now head to the side of the block that glows green and bash it with your shield so it moves along the arm and rests at the end against the wall.
Use the wall grapple to the left of it to climb up the side and then look back down at the block to see a grapple point on the edge of the block. Pull it so the block moves to the right. Throw your shield at the blue glowing part of the block, which activates a platform above the block, allowing you to cross the gap and reach the Blue Eldritch Key.
This key item will let you pass through blue-gated doors found across the Chasm of Xal'Goroth. Return to the previous large room where you fought hordes of foes, and more should spawn, impeding your progress. Defeat them and move through the door ahead to return to the core room.
You should now be able to interact with the switch; use your shield to lure the core's defenses, then quickly remove it and launch it at the core before the shield returns to the core. Now, time to move on to the second core.
Find Second Core
Follow the objective marker to another locked door, which now becomes accessible. Dispatch the waves of foes and move on to the next marked area to hunt down the key. Continue following the objective marker, which leads you past another door and into a passage.
Deal with more enemy spawns and reach the end, where several large blocks will shift into place, blocking progress. Turn around and grapple onto the platform above as shown in the image below, and then hop across the blocks to get to the other side.
Get through the door on the other side to arrive at the second Core room. This time, it requires a Red Eldritch Key to unlock. Follow the objective marker through a couple of doors to arrive at a large room with another puzzle. This room features several moving platforms, and as usual, you must find a way to make it across to the other side of the room.
First, use the Chain Spear to move the narrow platform in the center of the room sideways. Next, use the vertically moving platforms and make your way to the large block. Stand behind it and push it onto the narrow platform you first moved. Note that the platform the block is sitting on also moves up and down, so wait for the opportunity to push it.
Climb the block and onto the moving platform it is resting against. Turn left and hop onto the next higher platform on the left. This should give you a view of the narrow platform below so you can move the block counter-clockwise to make it face the exit area. Now hop to the third platform above and throw your shield into the blue side of the block to activate a platform above the block.
Dash onto this newly created platform and reach the top. There are two doors here; the one on the left is locked while the right one is unlocked, as indicated by the objective marker. Follow the marker, but before you enter, note a Relic piece sitting on the right side of the doorway.
Grab it and shield bash through the barrier inside to arrive in an arena. Defeat the demons and then fling yourself through the green ring and reach the Red Eldritch Key. Grab it and head down the path to the left to progress. You will find yourself back in the previous puzzle room.
Follow the objective marker to reach the other door that was locked on the floor with the Relic piece, leading you to a parkour section. Jump and dash towards the left, launch the Chain Spear at the grapple point, and land on the platform ahead.
Be wary of the moving fireballs and try not to get hit. Head through the door, and now, you'll be back in the second Core room. Lure its shields just as you did for the first one and destroy the Core. With both objectives complete, it is time to get out.
Escape the Labyrinth
This will bring you back to the original room you entered at the start of the Red Elditch Key hunt. Defeat the foes here and follow the marker across a linear parkour section as everything around you collapses.
Jump through the green ring and move through the door to arrive at the hallway with the second Ascension Stone. With both Cores destroyed, the Ascension Stone is yours for the taking. This also triggers a flashback sequence that you must complete to beat Chapter 4 in Doom The Dark Ages Revelations.
Fight through the Flashback Segment
Once you gain control of the character, move through the large red EMERGENCY sign, and enemies should spawn. Unlike the rest of the game's enemy cast, these are human enemies, but they still launch projectile attacks that you must weave through and retaliate using your shotgun.
Thankfully, this is a very linear segment, with no room for exploration or collectibles, so keep trudging forward while dealing with enemies that spawn. Simply follow the objective marker room by room, placing the remote explosives.
At the end, you should reach an elevator. Drop down and continue your journey through the sewers until you reach another part of the facility. Hit the switch, and another cutscene will trigger. Once it ends, you will find yourself back in Purgatory with a new Relic piece for the Master Key.
This completes Chapter 4, Chasm of Xal'Goroth, in Doom The Dark Ages Revelations.
