How to unlock the Go for the Gold achievement in DOOM - Definitive Guide

This isn't too bad; I just had a quick go on the DLC tonight for 30 mins and no plan of attack and after 4 tries I got it. It does require a certain technique though; at least for speed and ease.

By far the easiest mission will be The UAC, as it is by far the shortest. This method will bag you 650,000 points (requirement for Gold on I'm Too Young to Die is 600,000)

Set Up:

Just Play on I'm Too Young to Die. The Bronze, Silver and Gold are earnable on all difficulties and it seems that they naturally all go up depending on difficulty, as you get more XP for each difficulty. Play on the easiest mode for the easiest time (obviously)

Tactics:

1) Time, at least for me, was not really a factor. I consistently did it within 7-8 minutes and got Gold twice, and I would say for the method I propose under 10 minutes is pretty easy. So don't worry about time too much.

2) Two Extra Live Pick Ups (they doom dolls like the collectibles in the base campaign) are available. PICK BOTH UP. You get 50,000 points for each one = 100,000 in total. Although they give you extra lives, on easy you will come nowhere close to dying even if you're new to DOOM. Thus, Death is not really a concern with this achievement.

I would be very surprised if you DIDNT find them. As I said, time isn't a factor, and map isn't confusing. Both are after the blue key card. They should be easy if you explore enough

3) The other new feature are Mine / Bomb like items which appear in the air. When shot, they shoot out a relic, which gives you a gold pickup worth 50,000 points for when you pick it up (just run into it). There are 6 in this mission. You Will need to shoot all 6 mines, and pick up the flying relic AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (within approx. 5 seconds.) Otherwise this will turn into a silver pickup worth 40,000 points, and even a bronze. Every point matters. If you miss a gold relic, restart. All 6 will bag you a whopping 300,000 points.

I would be very surprised if you DIDNT find them. As I said, time isn't a factor, and map isn't confusing. 1 is in the first area with enemies (can't miss it) and the others are after the blue key card. They should be easy if you explore enough

4) Keep your chain multiplied as much as possible. I failed on my first few attempts because my multiplier was on 4x for a lot of the mission. You're going to want to maintain 16x (and occasionally 32x) multipliers for the remaining 200,000 we need. My main bit of advice is as follows

- USE GRENADES. Explosion kills add so much to your multiplier, and by killing enemies you seem to pick up grenades almost as fast as you use them. Spam grenades, especially is your multiplier is about to drop.
- Shotgun and Glory Kill Combos are also a good way of dispatching enemies. Your shotgun ammo might drop to 4-5 at times, but as long as you pick up ammo and kill enemies with ease you should be fine for bullets.
- The first area is actually the hardest. After the blue key card, you will not have your multiplier reduced by damage barely at all, but the first area has lots of imps (the dudes that shoot fire at you). Watch out for these, as they will break your multipliers with distance shots. Take them out with grenades and shotgun bullets quickly. You're going to want to keep your multiplier up in this area, and by watching out from these imps I went from finishing to get the blue key card from 62,000 to about 75,000.

That's pretty much it; load it up The UAC on the easiest difficulty, collect all relics and extra life dolls and use grenades, shotgun / glory kills to keep a combo at 16x and 32x as much as possible. 600,000 is the goal.

Thanks guys! (Will update with relic and life doll locations soon, but for now they aren't hard to find at all)

The first Doomguy doll is very easy, can't miss it, but the second one is in mid air and I have NO idea how to get it. I also only found four of the mines with the Gold relics in them, can't find the other two for the life of me. On my very first run I got 458K, and that was me really playing like shit. Shouldn't be too bad, I just need to find those other mines and watch out for those GODDAMN IMPS.

Thanks for the reminder on the double jump! Totally forgot about that. Just got the achievement, ended up way over, like 644K. The mines are actually easy to find. I just kinda did a couple of test runs to find the locations.

I would suggest to shoot the mines from a distance whenever you see enemies grouped around them. This will give you a huge point gain. And spot on with the suggestion of using grenades, they help so much. Great guide, upvoted.

I followed this guide and ended up with a score of 636,672 despite missing one of the mines. Maintaining the 16x or 32x multiplier and using grenades really makes a difference. Have an upvote smile

after doing a couple runs all the rune and doom guy locations are pretty obvious. its just a matter of keeping that multiplier about 16 in the second half of the level. grenades are really the key. on my 5th try I finished with 670000.

This guide is great I got it in two tries. First try was to learn the layout of the mines and extra lives. Second try was to put it to the test w/ grenade kills and keeping the multiplier. Ended with 684k Slayer rating.

I had trouble getting to 500k during my first couple runs trying this. However I didn't know things like the relic points and all. After taking your tips, I got this first try. Thanks! Arcade mode came without much explanation

This took me awhile but eventually got it. You are right getting gold on the relics is a must. More than once it was getting a silver on a relic that cost me the win...

Yep I'm done with going for this, that's enough 585k finishes. At least I got 'Arcade Stockpile' for the trouble, all I was after was an achievement for the Game Pass quest anyways.

For the life of me I cant figure out how to change the difficulty. Everytime I load up arcade mode, it goes into the second difficulty because that's what I played the game on. I can get over 700k points but not 825k.
Edit: went into my game file, into settings and changed difficulty. That did the same for arcade in case anyone else cant figure it out.

590K+ first two tries w/o the guide. 700K+ when I changed my strategy in the first area to REALLY avoid damage and I used GRENADES GRENADES GRENADES. Explosions really kept the kills quick and the multiplier up!

Great solution. For whatever reason I found this easier to do on "Hurt me plenty" even thought he requirement for gold is higher. This might be helpful if you are just coming up short, as I was on "Too young to die" difficulty.

Use the double jump, Schwartz-you can get it from either side you're able to see it on. When you first come up to that area if you double jump to it from the little jut of rock where the Imp is, or when you come back from the next area where the mine carts are I believe you can either jump from there or it is very near that point. That said, double jumping when you first see it is the best option. Arcade mode unlocks all available upgrades to that point or so I believe, but if not you may just need to do the campaign? If you do not have the double jump unlocked you may have to have that.

Have you played the campaign?

Thank you, I finally did it. Here are my tips:
1. Use grenades. Frag grenade to be specific
2. Get EVERY relic on gold. EVERY RELIC. It’s very easy to miss one of the relics on this level, so check every place to make sure you got them all
3. As the guide says, The UAC ITYTD difficulty
4. Keep your streak up by collecting items and stuff
5. Do glory kills and stuff to get medals
6. Get all the doom guy extra lives
The runes I used were: Seek and destroy, Vacuum, and Equipment Power
The mod for the shotgun was charged burst
It may take a few tries, but don’t give up. If you get a silver or bronze relic in the beginning, restart the level. You probably won’t get gold if you don’t get gold relics. Good luck

This is an excellent guide. The first area is a little tough, but your guide is spot on if you have 2x grenade, grenade launcher on the shotgun, and get all gold relics.

Took me 2 tries because my multiplier was only 4x when I found the 6th relic and I got 586k the first time through. Second time I got 620K and more.

If anyone is struggling with this, play through and take note of where all enemies spawn, and avoid damaging yourself with the explosives. Knowing the enemy spawn, keeping a 16x multiplier and moving quickly will get you 600K easy in about 5.5 minutes.

I did a run on the second level (Resource Management) in which I got all the medals and a gold rating. I did it on Hurt Me Plenty difficulty. Stacking up enemies and going for anything that gives medals is the best way to boost multiplier and score.

The section with the Berserk power up is the best section to boost your score up. Just keep spamming the attack button and you warp a huge distance to each enemy for quick kills.

I did a video of the run:
