Mission Challenge #2 – Knockout: Execute 5 Dazed demons with Shield Charge (50 Gold reward)
When demons are damaged enough, they will get a purple aura indicating they are dazed. Instead of performing the usual execute on them, use Shield Charge with + 
.
Mission Challenge #3 – Bone Collector: Collect 100 ammo loot drops from melee striking demons (50 Gold reward)
Enemies will drop ammo loot whenever you melee them with 
. You will need depleted ammo to be able to pick these up, so it is best to shoot with each weapon type whenever you have melee charges and then melee an enemy to get 5 drops each time.
5 Gold (5/250)
Near the beginning of the level, head up the hill on the right to find these on the ground.
4 Gold (9/250)
Continue forward and jump across the broken bridge to find 4 more gold on the left path.
Secret #1
At the end of this path will be a Secret with a Life Sigil.
3 Gold (12/250)
In the area with the first encounter, just before the path that leads to the Yellow Key.
5 Gold (17/250)
After using the Yellow Key on the gate, continue into the next area with a Cyberdemon and you’ll be able to drop down onto a lower ledge. There will be 5 Gold on the path here.
Secret #2 + 10 Gold (27/250)
Continue down the path and you’ll enter a secret cave. There will be a climbable wall next to the water which has 10 Gold on top.
Ruby #1
While still in the secret cave, use the jump pad to launch up to a Ruby.
Secret #3 + Codex Entry #1 (Abyssal Forest)
Back in the previous area, continue down the path and there will be some bramble you can break with your shield. Destroy it to find this inside.
Secret #4 + 50 Gold (77/250)
After crossing a gap with your shield, there will be a ramp leading down to some more bramble you can break with your shield, with the gold inside.
Demonic Essence – Armor #1
Automatic reward from defeating the Pinky Rider miniboss in the second encounter.
13 Gold (90/250) + Secret #5 + Collectible Toy #1 (Witch)
After the combat encounter, head back towards where you entered the area and there will be a path you can drop down onto, follow it to find all the gold and the toy in a cage. In order to raise the cage, you will first need to throw your shield at an orange chain through a gap in the wall behind the cage, then throw your shield at the now-accessible blue gear on the wall.
Secret #6
After leaving the previous secret, there will be a crate you can jump onto nearby. Climb it and jump across the platforms, then use your shield toss to reach the secret with a Life Sigil.
Secret #7 + 50 Gold (140/250)
Roughly in the middle of the area there is a red breakable chain holding a statue (near the skull icon on the map). Throw your shield to break the chain, then it drops the statue and makes a hole in the ground. Head inside and follow the path to find a crate of 50 Gold.
16 Gold (156/250)
In the corner of the area where red mist is, you can throw your shield through a rotating wheel to hit a red chain. This drops a stone wall leading to the main objective. Climb up, opposite the main objective is a ledge you can drop down to find two gold piles.
7 Gold (163/250) + Secret #8 + Ruby #2
To the left of the main objective (the cannon you use to blow the wall), there will be some broken bridges you can cross to grab 7 Gold and a Ruby at the end.
Secret #9 + 16 Gold (179/250)
After leaving the previous secret, turn around and head to the side of the building to find an area you can drop down the side. There will be a glowing chain you can break through a gap in the wall, destroy it to open the gates and get the Gold.
Secret #10 + 16 Gold (195/250)
With this area complete, progress through the wall you destroyed and drop off the point-of-no-return. Turn around to find the 16 Gold behind you.
Secret #11 + 50 Gold (245/250)
After heading down the elevator and getting the Grenade Launcher, head slightly down the path to spot a green corpse high up on the left wall that you can throw your shield at. Head in and jump across the gap to find a chest with 50 Gold.
5 Gold (250/250)
Continue along the main path and these will be directly on your way to the Forge, hard to miss.
That’s 100% of the collectibles you can find in Abyssal Forest of Doom: The Dark Ages.
