Doom Dark Ages Cannon Locations Guide

Doom: The Dark Ages thrusts players into epic battles against demonic forces, where optional challenges like destroying artillery cannons add layers of excitement and rewards. These massive weapons pepper the landscapes of key missions, testing your navigation and combat prowess across sprawling environments. This guide covers every cannon location in Siege Part 1 (four cannons for the Siege Breaker challenge) and Resurrection (three cannons for Cannon Crusher), helping you claim premium skins and gold without aimless wandering.

Why Hunt Artillery Cannons?

Artillery cannons aren’t just set pieces—they’re interactive objectives that weaken enemy positions and unlock cosmetics. In Siege Part 1, smashing all four nets the Reverent Combat Shotgun skin, a sleek upgrade that elevates your Slayer’s arsenal visually and functionally. Resurrection’s trio yields 50 gold, vital for the best Doom Dark Ages upgrades like enhanced weapons or sigils. These challenges encourage exploration in vast, gold-strewn fields amid gore portals and demon swarms, blending stealth, shield bashes, and glory kills.

• Strategic Benefits: Disabling cannons reduces incoming fire, easing massive Slayer encounters.
• Visual Cues: Listen for booming volleys and watch smoke trails; gold piles mark their bases.
• Destruction Method: Shield block, charge the green emblem on the cannon’s rear, and bash to scrap it.

Siege Part 1: Siege Breaker Challenge Breakdown

Chapter 6’s Siege Part 1 opens into a battlefield scarred by hellish devastation. After initial skirmishes, a huge open field reveals four cannons atop golden mounds. Orient your automap with the main doorway at the bottom—cannons split left (1-2) and right (3-4). Protected by shield soldiers and imps, they demand crowd control before bashing.

Cannon 1: Northwest Hill Path

Veer top-left from entry, hugging the left fork past an archway. Spot a wooden barricade on a sloped incline—shield smash through. Ascend to the gold pile and cannon at the summit. Clear imps first; the elevated spot offers demon sniping overlooks.

Cannon 2: Coastal Village Enclave

In the far-left village near a boss fight, pass the Sentinel Shrine and ford the river rightward. Climb the hill to a demon-guarded cannon on gold. Expect heavier resistance here—use the nearby buildings for cover and chain glory kills.

Cannon 3: Eastern Open Arena

Shift to the right flank near another leader arena. The cannon sits openly opposite a Sentinel Shrine, close to a gated gold chest. No major barriers, but open terrain invites ambushes—prioritize melee demons.

Cannon 4: Marshy Right Corner

Farthest right, in the marsh beside the large gore portal arena. Wade through sludge post-portal clearout. Shield soldiers patrol heavily; thin herds before charging the green target.

Resurrection: Cannon Crusher Challenge Details

Near the campaign’s climax, Resurrection’s vast zone hides three cannons. Align automap with the entrance arena at bottom. These tie into secrets like the Pulverizer skin and soul spheres, rewarding thorough searches.

Cannon 1: Top-Right Combat Platform

From entry arena, trek top-right to a wooden platform amid fights. The cannon dominates the center—destroy post-clear to avoid fire support for demons.

Cannon 2: Top-Left Fort Edge

Upper-left fort teases unreachable loot below. Circle to the climbing wall, scale up, and bash the edge cannon. This punches a floor hole to a secret: gold, Pulverizer skin, Life Sigil, BFC ammo, soul sphere (yellow key-gated).

Cannon 3: Northern Bridge Fortress

Map-top, bridge-end fortress wall by Wraithstone statue. Smash the nearby wolf statue for extras, then cannon. Proximity to progression paths makes it last but accessible.

Combat Tips for Cannon Assaults

These zones swarm with demons—success hinges on tactics. Shield upgrades shine: block volleys, dash chains for mobility.

• Scout gold icons on map for quick pins.
• Prioritize shield soldiers blocking bashes.
• Glory kill for health amid hordes.
• Stealth modes for flanking in open fields.

Difficulty sliders let you tweak projectile speed and aggression, ideal for challenge runs.

Advanced Strategies and Secrets

Beyond basics, cannons link to broader exploration. Siege’s gold fuels upgrades; Resurrection’s fort secret demands wall-climbing mastery. Pair with Wraithstone hunts for synergy. Videos confirm paths: timestamps mark exact routes.
