However, finding the stone can be quite challenging as there are some objectives you must fulfil.

How to get Ancestral Forge Wraithstone in Doom The Dark Ages
After you start Chapter 9, “Ancestral Forge,” go straight until you notice the Sentinel Shrine. From there, take the right path, collecting the five resources on your way from the ground. Eventually, you will come to an area with two glowing wolf statues, as shown in the image below. The Ancestral Forge Wraithstone is placed on a throne positioned between these statues.
However, it will initially be locked, preventing you from accessing the stone. To unlock the Ancestral Forge Wraithsone, you must destroy three small, orange-glowing wolf statues. The first one can be found beside the stone area, right above another wolf statue, as showcased in the image below. Break it using the weapon Shield Saw.

After clearing them all, you will be able to break the statue. To get the third statue, you must obtain a Secret Key located within this area, as shown in the image below. When you reach this area, look for a blocked gate. Use your Shield to break that, and you will get a Secret key. Once you have it, return to the starting area where you first spawned at the beginning of the mission.
There you will see a secret door that can now be unlocked. Inside that area, you will find the last wolf statue to break. After destroying all three statues, return to the Ancestral Forge Wraithstone area and simply interact with the stone to obtain it.
