This is found straight away as part of the tutorial.

Chapter 5 – The Holy City Of Aratum

It’s behind a locked door. Find the green switch and look up – there’s a breakable red lock that you can break with the shield. This drops a stone onto the switch, keeping the door open and letting you nab a Ruby.

Doom The Dark Ages The Holy City of Aratum - 8-4-1

After destroying the four ships and killing the big demon, fly to the bottom of the citadel, where you’ll see two turrets. Destroy them to open a landing pad. Look for a green switch that raises a red breakable link, which you can destroy with the shield.

This will open a path to a water area. Swim around and look for a pressure wheel. The water will lower, giving you access to the Red Key card. Look for a blue jumping pad, which will fire you into the air, giving you access to a chamber with a Ruby.

Throw the shield at the red lock above the gate, revealing the eye lock. Go to the eye gate, line it up to the green eye, throw the shield, and it will move the gate blocking the ruby statue. Use the portal in the water again, which will put you on the block, and you can jump over to the Ruby.
