I've found one, so far. I don't know what the floor was called, but it's the one with a lot of grass everywhere and boxes floating off to the sides. Shooting the boxes, I found a switch which spawned a key and a few enemies. The key opened a door to some treasure that would normally be missed.

I've also noticed a weird little arrow symbol made out of breakable grass blocks in some levels, and wondered if it led to anything. If it does, I haven't been able to figure it out.

Are there any other secrets like this?

Graveyards--Treasure GET!

While running fearing for your life and sanity in graveyards keep an eye out. Some of the rooms with an energy door have a secret passage behind the door that leads to a few treasure boxes. It is hard to see on the screen, but the minimap gives it away as you can see a smallish square jutting out behind energy room.

not behind the door, but

not behind the door, but behind the ROOM, always look behind the walls of those rooms (usually the access its OUTSIDE the room)

something like this

...| |............... _______
...| |................|...........|
...| |................|...........|
__| |_________|..........|
..........=====_______|
..........|.........|
..........|_....__|
.............| |

Ignore the dots, thats empty space, EQUALS its the secret passageway.
LOL, not sure if it makes sense, but the upper room its the secret one, and the lower room its the treasure box room.

I KNEW IT

I KNEW those floating rocks had a switch!
I've been breaking the things every time I've been to the floor though, and nothing x.x

Oh, and btw, the little red pressure valves? Not always useless.

Scarlet Fortress

In the Scarlet Fortress there's a level where you can remove a wall only if you do it before stepping on a party button. You need to shoot it / throw a vase at it from a different room, across a chasm. Once you step on the party button in the corridor, you won't be able to do that anymore. It gives access to a little extra loot.

Every graveyard level has one

Every graveyard level has one variant of secret passage or other. Literally, EVERY graveyard. Keep an eye out for two loose treasure boxes just sitting on an "Unreachable" platform, there's actually a small pathway that leads to em from behind a small tomb that obscures the passage from the camera's perspective. See N01r's post for details.

Ecliptic

looking for the answer

In one of the common sunshiney grass levels (generally tier-1...is it Aurora Isles? or maybe a Wolver Den?) the level ends with a team-switch arena room that has three waves of enemies (generally just wolvers and wings). The entrance is in the northeast and the way to the lift opens in the west after the battle. But THERE IS A DOOR TO THE SOUTH. How do you open it? Last time I soloed that level I destroyed everything within the room to check I wasn't missing an obvious switch, so I suspect it must be something earlier. Anyone know this one? This isn't the floating box level the OP was talking about, is it? I am blind to background items, like floating boxes.

@Ecliptic You need to enter

@Ecliptic

You need to enter that section BEFORE getting to the arena-room you mention. Enter from the room south-east of the arena, it's hidden behind a whole bunch of breakable blocks.

We love these little bonus

We love these little bonus secrets that you learn over time and it's something we'll keep adding here and there as we add new content to the game.

When I played games growing up, secrets in games were everything. It's hard to emulate that these days though. Thanks for nothing Internet.

You know Nick,

that's why I'm a little leery of the wiki. Especially this new initiative to map every level of the clockworks.

I don't wanna be able to just look up whatever I want at a moments notice...

I liked finding the Cane of Byrna on my own, thankyouverymuch.

@Nick is there a way to make

@Nick is there a way to make this secrets totally random? maybe even make us START activating certain switches on the first levels and combine with other switches to activate in lower levels so as to open a secret passageway on an even later level?

thats a good idea. maybe have

thats a good idea. maybe have 1 secret switch in each level and if you find every secret switch in a tier the last level has a room with a 25% chance that you'll get a rare recipe. if it takes more than 15 minutes to find all the switches it wont end up on youtube and everybody would be too lazy to tell about it

I still want to know what the switch at the beginning of the last stage of citadel before Vanaduke does.
It's hidden under a crate with fire around it.

"probably" ensures that it

"probably" ensures that it wasn't a definitely factual statement, it could or could not be since it was "probably". It's an opinion. Don't make it a problem. Anyway, that's like arguing that the classic Sonic is better than Modern Sonic. It's not worth getting into and is definitely against the spirit of the original comment which truly was about a reference to Zelda being good.

MAXIMUM TROLLING!

My contribution: near the beginning of one of the really common grass levels there are two group buttons, to the left and right before a short turret gauntlet with spikes. The right-hand button is optional. When you activate it, you hear the "DUN-DUN" sound, which is BAD. That button activates the turrets, and all you get is a few crowns.

The Jelly Farm [1] There are

The Jelly Farm [1]

There are two possible arenas at the beginning. One in the basic path and another behind an energy gate path. It's possible to do one arena, and then go back and do the other one for maximum heat, crown, etc.

After you finish one [or both] of these arenas, you are led into a sort of farm area with about 5-7 rows of grass patches. Walking towards the treasure boxes in each summons one to two lumbers.

This is all normal. But in the farm like area, you can see another section of the map that's closed off. It has an arena button, and several pressure buttons [which can be seen by throwing a potion at a very precise angle towards some crystal shards, which break apart and reveal two pressure button.]

I have not yet found a way into that segment of the map. It would be nice if someone who know would tell me.

The Jelly Farm 1 impossible area

Tsuki, I would like to know that too. I've been wondering that pretty much since that level showed up during beta.

I eventually gave up and figured it was left over after the level was edited, and they kept it just to tease us!

Firestorm secret

There's a very nice secret on the floor just before Vanaduke. To hide it I've coded it, if you want the secret just flow this rule:
Every 2 letters/numbers.

I've got a better one. At the... third floor of OCH, just after the part where you navigate a series of fallen girders, you end up at a place with stone blocks, a straight path, and ninja-recons. There are some brown blocks to your lower-right. Fire a gun at their general direction and you should hit a ghost block that leads to three red chests. \o/

So has someone figured out how to get those heart boxes in Heart of Ice? Oh, how they taunt me...

Fri, 08/03/2012 - 14:54

#36

Sypsy

@Dorael

there are two locations for the switch which is hidden in a stone block:
1) in the block right below the button (This one is obvious)
2) on the left where you would need to hit it with a gun or projectile.

The switch spawns a ghost block to get to the heart boxes.

Edit:
I should be clear, this is before you step onto the 2nd button of that level (the first being to enter the stage.) In the area where you need to put all the statues on the pressure plates.

Hit a switch at the start of the level to turn unbreakable bricks at the end to magic bricks to find 2 treasure boxes.

In the boss vanaduke, if you poison him, his attacks get weaker.
So for ppl that struggle on phase 2 and 4, poison his mask when u water it.
barely takes a bar or 2 ^^
