Intro
I will try and keep this guide as spoiler free as possible but it will still contain spoilers by it's nature.
  • You must complete certain tasks in each Chapter throughout the game.
  • If you see any Forgotten Ones (faceless people) never kill them.
  • UNCONFIRMED- You may need to pick up certain journal entries to achieve the ending.
Chapter 2 Decay
In Chapter 2 you will need to grab a cassette tape under the graveyard.


You must make your way through it until you find these boards on the ground blocking a hole to a secret area.

Watch out for the invisible ghost in the area! Grab the pistol near the candles and kill it!

Fall down the hole and grab the cassette tape tape for your first task!

Chapter 3 Forgotten
In Chapter 3 you need to avoid killing the boss at the end of the chapter. ᴺᵒᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᶜᵒⁿᶠᵘˢᵉᵈ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗᶦⁿʸ ᶠᶦᵍʰᵗ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵐᵍ ʳᵒᵒᵐ ᵉᵃʳˡʸ ᵒⁿ....


Collect and keep the 3 fuses bringing them to the boss fight at the end. Make sure you go back and grab all 3 of them!

When you reach the boss you must pick up a 4th fuse to start the fight.



You need to lure the boss to this wall (It says "They're gone") to the right of the prison bars and get her to yell 2 times.



If she yells 2 times it will break the wall letting you enter the room. (Damaging her gets her to yell) (If she breaks a pillar exposing the monster inside it make sure you shoot them to stun her and continue the fight.





Once inside use the 3 fuses you kept to enter the secret exit to the fight.
Chapter 4 Storm
In this chapter you need to do 2 things.

  • Get past the wall of connections without burning them.

  • Avoid killing any forgotten ones



Near the end of the chapter when you obtain the Oasis Goods store key you will gain madness and be thrust into a chase scene on the 6th floor of the apartments.


When you run away you must avoid killing any of the forgotten ones. Even when instucted to do so. Hope you played cod zombies! Train them and bait them out of the chokepoints to make it to the end of the hallway!



When you reach the save point you need to AVOID using it or it will cure your madness.


Once you skip the save station you will be at the Oasis Goods store and a new madness hole will be present that will let you skip the wall of connections without burning them.
Chapter 5 Crossroads
Chapter 5 is simple to understand but difficult to execute. You must complete the entire chapter while in madness.


After you take the High dose medication you can no longer ground yourself at records. Which means no saving!

UNCONFIRMED- You may need to do the revolver section immediately after you take the pills. So make sure you grab it.

Be careful not accidentally interact with the record players when picking up nearby items.
Good luck!


UNCONFIRMED- You may need to answer the 3 phone calls you get in the chapter as well. They are hard to miss because they are ringing loudly, but make sure you answer the calls.
Chapter 6 Regression
In Chapter 6 you need to avoid killing the Tree Lurker.


Towards the latter half of the level radio man will be instruct you to turn these valves. DON'T

Run past every valve you see and do not turn them.



Once you reach pump control and repair the pipe you can turn only this last valve to leave.



If you did it right the radio man will be displeased.
Chapter 7 Madness
For Chapter 7 you must listen to a hidden cassette tape in the catacombs.
No achievement for this chapter currently.

Near the end of the chapter you will arrive at the supposed end of the catacombs when the man on the radio starts talking to you again. Ignore him and head deeper into the darkness avoiding the lever.


The pathway is similar to the tunnels you just went through, hope you remember the paths you took! On the the way, there are flares on the ground (near wall graffiti and candles) that will indicate the correct path and will need to be used to see. If you stay in the dark for to long you will be in for a swift death. So be ready to pop your flare the moment it goes out.

You will find the journal entry at the end on this chair you must listen to.


You can then finish the level with the nearby elevator.
Chapter 8 Chaos
You must complete chapter 8 without killing any Forgotten ones


This one is easy. Early in the chapter you will come across the Forgotten ones blocking a doorway. Radio man wants you to kill them. DON'T. Instead travel down the other path.


Eventually you arrive behind them at a record player. Pick up the cassette here just in case.
Chapter 9/You did it
If you have done everything so far you just have to finish the game.


If you did everything right in the playthrough no Forgotten Ones will spawn in the final fight.

For some reason, after 2 different playthrough, one take the secret tape on chapter 7 and one without the tape, while doing every other chapter requirement for the good ending. the one without chapter 7 tape still give good ending. This is odd, because the original Doom 2 mod REQUIRE this for the good end.

you are allow to kill the headless in chapter 5 while insane, they are actively attack you, the only enemy you shouldn't kill is the Forgotten one, those with hole on their face.

Am I allowed to kill the headless enemies in Chapter 5? They behave sort of like the Forgotten ones, and I've been trying to avoid them.

@๖ۣۜMark Good to know. I reported the bug

Leaving this as an addendum here, apparently if you reload or load a file on chapter 9 that will mess with the good ending flag for some reason.

I had read somewhere that might've been the case, reloaded a save from the start of chapter 8 and got through both chapter 8 and 9 again and after the boss fight the good ending was shown.

I've followed the guide but I couldn't get the good ending, this includes doing the 4 phone calls and the revolver section on chapter 5.

I'm gonna chalk this up to the game currently being very buggy on the gamepass, because assets on chapter 5 were not loading properly at all, all recipes and papers were under everything possible which included one document being on an unreachable place, a madness tunnel wouldn't load properly at all and going into it would drown you and sometimes falling from any height would instantly kill you.

All the other achievements mentioned in this guide did work properly.

Hopefully I'll see about redoing it in the future and see what happens.
