The Archives Update in Doors brought a whole new wave of content, and with it came a fresh batch of badges to hunt down. These achievements are spread across two spots: the Archives Subfloor found inside the Hotel, and the Stairwell Subfloor tucked inside the Mines. This guide covers how to get all 35 badges in Doors Archive Subfloor.
All 35 Badges in Doors Archive Subfloor
There are a total of 35 badges or achievements you can earn in Doors Archive Subfloor, ranging from the easy ones to specific challenges that require you to complete certain activities. Some you will unlock simply by playing, while others require you to know exactly what to do.

To help you out, here is the complete list of all badges in Doors Archive Subfloor and how to get them:
1. General Badges
These two are the easiest to get, and you can grab both without any extra setup right in Section A.
| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Quick Purchase | Head to a green vending machine and pick up a Shakelight for 10 Gold. |
| Unpatched Dupe Glitch | Find a printer and scan and print any item. It won't actually duplicate anything, but it's a funny little easter egg worth seeing once. |
2. Entity Badges
Most of these badges come from either surviving an entity encounter or handling it in a specific way. This is the biggest badge category by far, and it's where most of your runs will focus.

| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| It's Still You | Stare into a bathroom mirror until it cracks and a Portrait entity appears. |
| Firewall | Give Ransom enough gold so it leaves you alone, or avoid it entirely. |
| Fih are Friends | Grab the blue food bottle and feed the Fih inside the aquarium. |
| Crowd Watching | When the clock hits 9 or 5, Drones stampede through the halls. Stay clear of the main path or duck into a closet. |
| Now Served | The Teller hands you a ticket. Watch the countdown and hand it back the moment she calls your number. |
| Perfect Memory | Beat the subway section by spotting what's changed between rooms, similar to Exit 8. If something looks off, turn back. |
| Shock Hazard | Cross an electrified puddle safely by waiting until the sparks die down. |
| Carpet Burn | Duck into a side room or closet while the Bash entity is charging through. |
| Smashing Deal | Summon a Portrait through the mirror trick, then equip an item you want copied. The Portrait mimics you, letting you grab a duplicate. |
| Witness Protection | Avoid eye contact with Alma while she circles you. Use her crying as a cue for which direction she's coming from. |
| Limitless Paper | Hide in a closet the moment your screen starts shaking, which signals the Scribbles entity is near. |
| Who Am I? | Reach Section S, find S-50, and head through the hidden hallway toward the Archives sign instead of the broken Stairwell one. |
| Most Valuable Employee | Sort out the Mail Room while the Honcho chases you around. |
| Star Employee | Hand the Honcho a Starlight Bottle, which you'll need to bring over from the Backdoors floor. |
| Redacted | Watch and create a new entity. |
3. Item Badges
These badges focus on collecting and using different items. A few can take multiple runs since you'll need to gather enough of the right items to fill your hotbar.

| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Gold Standard | Track down the Honey Pot that spawns during a Ransom hack, then smash it after Ransom is satisfied to keep the money. |
| Enlightened | Fill your entire hotbar with different light sources, which means grinding across multiple floors. |
| Girl Dinner | Equip a hotbar full of different food items, again requiring several floor runs. |
| Pizza Time | Load your hotbar with pizza slices, easiest done on a Pizza Party floor. |
| Bad Luck | Use the pocket mirror item crucifix on the Portrait entity. |
4. Crucifix Badge
There's just one badge tied to the Crucifix item, called Annihilation. Trigger a Portrait entity through the mirror, and there's a chance it'll reappear in a later room.

| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Annihilation | Get the Crucifix from the Hotel, trigger a Portrait via the mirror, and use the Crucifix to banish it when it reappears. |
You need the Crucifix from the Hotel to banish it, so if you're starting directly at the Archives, you likely won't have one. Taking the Emergency Exit right after spawning the Portrait sends you back to the Hotel, giving you a shot at grabbing a Crucifix.
5. Floor Badges
These badges are tied to your progress through the Archives itself. Simply reaching certain areas or using a particular route can be enough to unlock them.

| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Forgotten Memories | Enter the Archives specifically through the Hotel route, not the Lobby. |
| Emergency Exit | Leave through the Emergency Exit, which appears every 50th door past Section C. |
| Z-50 | Reach and clear Section Z-50, the last stretch of the Archives, which leads into the Stairwell. |
6. Stairwell Badges
The remaining badges are found in the Stairwell Subfloor, where you will encounter a separate group of entities and challenges. Some are easy to unlock, while others require you to interact with the environment in a specific way.

| Badge | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Rage Room | Push a TV set down the stairs to break the Noise entity's setup. |
| Paparazzi | Startle the Creep entity right as it's about to sneak up on you. |
| Fried Mushroom | Burn the Meld entity using a Fire Alarm. |
| Bubble Popping | Throw the Stem entity to pop it. |
| Paperclip Challenge | Use any item on the Depot machine. |
| Storage Wars | Deposit over 1,000 Gold at the Depot in a single go. |
| Hello Walker | Simply run into the Cobbler entity, which is harmless. |
| Going Down | Step into the Stairwell Subfloor for the first time. |
| Going Up | Successfully escape the Stairwell. |
Since a handful of these badges in Doors Archive Subfloor depend on which floor you start from, it helps to plan two separate runs:
- One run starting from the Hotel for the Crucifix and Forgotten Memories badges
- One run focused purely on entity encounters
Grinding items like Enlightened and Girl Dinner takes patience since they span multiple floors, so don't expect to finish them in one run. Take your time while exploring the new archive and completing the walkthrough, but keep your eyes on entity cues like screen shaking or crying sounds, and you'll have all 35 badges checked off before you know it.
