While exploring Chapter 9 ofDOOM: The Dark Ages, players will likely come across three spectral wolf statues near a glowing pink forcefield. Anyone who took the time tofind the three wolf statues in Chapter 6should already know the score here, but those who rushed through it may find themselves at a bit of a loss. Thankfully, it’s all rather simple.

To remove the pink forcefield and get to the treasure on the other side,DOOM: The Dark Agesplayers will need to find three Ancestral Forge wolf statues and destroy them with their shield. The following guide will provide detailed instructions and maps to each statue’s location, as well as information about the reward that players will get for breaking all three.

Players can break the three Ancestral Forge wolf statues in any order they like. This guide lists them in the order that we found them.

Where to Find the First Wolf Statue Location in Ancestral Forge

If players head to the spot with the spectral wolf statues, they’ll notice that one of them is a little further away from the forcefield than the other two. If they look directly above it, they’ll find the first Ancestral Forge wolf statue staring down at them.

Where to Find the Second Wolf Statue Location in Ancestral Forge

To find the second Ancestral Forge wolf statue, players should head back towards the central crater and make their way around it until they reach the path on the opposite side to the one with the spectral statues. The wolf statue is sitting in plain sight by a ledge at the end of this path, although players will need to defeat all of the nearby enemies to remove the red forcefield protecting it.

Where to Find the Third Wolf Statue Location in Ancestral Forge

Players will need the Chapter 9 secret key to reach the last Ancestral Forge wolf statue. To get the key, they should look for a breakable wall near the Ancestral Heart charge point up above the spectral statues and hit it with a shield charge. With the key now in hand, they can head back past theSentinel Shrinetowards where they entered the area and look for a key door on their left. The third wolf statue is behind this door, along with a Nightmare Imp Stalker.

Chapter 9 Wolf Statue Reward

After destroying the final Chapter 9 wolf statue, players can head back to the area with the forcefield to claim their reward. Now that the forcefield is down, they’ll be able to reach the knight statue, and interacting with this will reward them with aWraithstone. For those unaware, Wraithstones are needed to fully upgrade a weapon andunlock its mastery challenge, making them one of the most important upgrade materials inDOOM: The Dark Ages.
