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

Achievements in Doors Archive Subfloor

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.

BadgeHow to Get It
Quick PurchaseHead to a green vending machine and pick up a Shakelight for 10 Gold.
Unpatched Dupe GlitchFind 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.

Shock HazardCross an electrified puddle safely by waiting until the sparks die down.
Carpet BurnDuck into a side room or closet while the Bash entity is charging through.
Smashing DealSummon a Portrait through the mirror trick, then equip an item you want copied. The Portrait mimics you, letting you grab a duplicate.

Star EmployeeHand the Honcho a Starlight Bottle, which you'll need to bring over from the Backdoors floor.
RedactedWatch 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.

Pizza Time
BadgeHow to Get It
Gold StandardTrack down the Honey Pot that spawns during a Ransom hack, then smash it after Ransom is satisfied to keep the money.
EnlightenedFill your entire hotbar with different light sources, which means grinding across multiple floors.
Girl DinnerEquip a hotbar full of different food items, again requiring several floor runs.
Pizza TimeLoad your hotbar with pizza slices, easiest done on a Pizza Party floor.
Bad LuckUse 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. 

Doors Archive Subfloor Badges
BadgeHow to Get It
AnnihilationGet 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.

Forgotten Memories
BadgeHow to Get It
Forgotten MemoriesEnter the Archives specifically through the Hotel route, not the Lobby.
Emergency ExitLeave through the Emergency Exit, which appears every 50th door past Section C.
Z-50Reach 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.

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.
