I may be far off but, maybe it's those purple glowing markings on the ground in some Depths.

There are some equips that we see every day that are impossible to obtain.

Look at the NPC knights. They wear what looks like Azure Guardian Helms, Magic Hoods, and Spiral Tailed Helms (and one Spiral Pith Helm and one Boosted Plate Helm), but they're not. The colors don't match. The NPC knights all have the same dark blue/gray/yellow color scheme, and I've never seen this color scheme on a player knight.

I haven't looked at the armor up close, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were different from the standard armor as well.

I want to start off by saying I finally am able to post on the forums. I have been trying many times and eventually gave up. Anyhow, here is my opinion on #10.

He mentions, "However there is one that players see every day that so far as we've seen, no one has ever figured it out. Curious!"

Now here is how I look at it. It must be something players see "every day," which insists it is a guarantee that players will see this. Which means one of two things:

It is in the "Log in screen" or the "knight selection screen,"

or

It is in Haven Town Square near the entrance. No matter what you do, if you log into the game, you will be started at the Haven Town Square entrance. No matter where you logged out from, for however long you were logged out for, (aside from being disconnected), the entrance to Haven Town Square is "in fact" the only part of the game aside from the log in screen that a person is guaranteed to see "every day."

This is assuming they actually play the game "every day." It can't be associated to Steam because not all players have Steam accounts, which rules out anything that early to log on. So it is something from the Log in screen to the Haven Town Square entrance. Aside from that, after the entrance, the player can go to the right or left of the fountain, thus not guaranteeing to see the other side of the fountain at all that day.

IMO, this rules out many other theories, but don't let me be the one to break your hope, I am just stating how it seems to work.

P.S. - What switch in FSC is everyone talking about? I never notice this unnoticeable switch.

P.P.S. - IGN is Noobowns.

maybe the konjuring kat is summoning a train or something like that

"Could it be that Snipes fly like they were choppers? Their wings spin instead of flying like regular birds."
That's not a secret, it's in Haven's mouseover description on the Gate Map that it's inhabited by "birds with a curious means of locomotion."

I made a mistake in my description. I meant after quitting the game, when you start it back up, it starts you over in the south of town square. I dont know about log in, but every time i quit the game, i end up back at the south of town square every single time i start the game back up.

Just a thought but there are some rooms gated rooms in dungeons that you like need to hit a switch to unlock (can't think of the exact levels atm, but I've seen it more than once) and there's a button that's pressed on the other side when you open them. Could there be another way through dungeons? I dunno. Just a thought.

Still going on about number 10? I suspect we'll find out eventually... but I admit I have my own theory.

There're statues of puppies in many places, including atop the auction house, as previously mentioned, and all over in the sky island stages. The Roarmulus Twins do seem to imply that the Gun Puppies were made by the Gremlins, but perhaps they were just in the image of these statues--also mentioned before--and the gremlins aren't responsible for the statues themselves. If the statues were not made my gremlins, where have the puppies themselves gone? And... while it may simply be curiousity, who did kill all the kats? ^^;

For anyone who cares, these were the previous secrets discussed in the forums before this hijack: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/5399
Which I believe, is Nick's way of distracting us while giving Ian time to animate the models of the new monsters.

I'm believe the secret Nick mentions is the Firestorm Citadel Switch. Nobody knows what it does.

I betcha...
It's the Guard In-front of Haven. He just stands there, Leviathan in hand, with flares all over the ground. What does he guard? Haven. From What? No-one knows... I even posted on a suggestion that there should be a random Boss attack on Haven that sprouted from that dude.

It's either that, or have you noticed it's never night in the Clockworks O_O. Light always shines...

Seriously, it's obviously about all of us. The knights, the reasoning, the planet and why we're even there in the first place. Why do we all look like "Heartless" from KH fame?

I think it would be amazing if this whole game was an ARG (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlternateRealityGame) for kingdom hearts. You would automatically say no, but think about it. I'm 99.9% sure that it's wrong, but, that would be amazing. Too amazing.

But yeah, just saying. the main twist is obviously about the knights' connection with the clockworks or vice versa.

I noticed that in moorcroft manor's rail station (the long corridor to the left), there are 4 checked boxes.
wonder if a four knight party will be able to activate the train or something.

What does the knights look like? Have anyone notice we must equip 1 armor, helm, shield and 2 weps at all times. What does one knight without any of these look like? Some sort of gooey black alien with 2 glowing eyes? Well, we cant tell...

If you're gonna go bit by bit and analyze that sentence and interpret it. Here's how I read it.

Theres something hidden, a secret. It's in the game and players see it everyday. To me this means its right in front of our eyes, pretty out in the open at least to someone who knows what it is and that many many people see it all the time. Its either an area or an easter egg I think, maybe a phrase from an NPC, or an action in game.

That being said I don't think it rules out Moorecraft, FSC is probably a little more of a leap, not saying that button doesn't do something, but I think that could be one of the many secrets, but not the specific one.

To continue as far as OOO knows no one has figured it out. This to me says two things. One that once you do figure it out its pretty obvious that this is what nick was talking about. Two that someone might have figured it out but not realized (this seems less likely) and would mean this secret is subtle (also unlikely).

For the most part I think we are talking places people frequent and not areas that change often, so most likely your haven, or moorcraft etc.

So someone find it already!

Also nick ends with "Curious!" I wouldn't over look that it could have something largely to do with it.

I'd like to clarify that the button in the FSC has nothing to do with Alpha Wolvers. It is a random chance, and whoever thought that was what the button did, should know that was just a really lucky correlation, however no proof suggests it does anything with wolvers.

Anyway, as corky said, the last clue is being interpreted incorrectly. I'd like to use that FSC button as an example, for instance, every day, at least somebody goes into the FSC and comes across that button. As far as anybody knows, nobody knows the true function. But I honestly think that button has a big secret. It's pressed a lot, maybe by accident people have stumbled upon what it may do; just not looked into it.

Otherwise, I'd suggest Moorcroft. There's a lot of room in there, and that long passageway, but it's locked...isn't it? Seems a little vague.

I also snooped around the game's files, and found the Whitespace music. I haven't a clue where the music is used, as I haven't heard it anywhere. That suggests to me that the secret could even be a special bonus level or something on those lines.

I feel it could be references to anything, whether it be text or item, something could reference another game.

I feel like I should express my love for your Back to the Future reference in the Voltedge description.

I think that Piral11 has a nice place to find info, in the contents of the file itself. I use the original java file on a mac, if you do just right-click on the game and click "show package contents". As for my opinion on what #10 could be, i agree with the snipes controlling the Strangers. Could the Strangers just be large biologic robots for the snipes to be taken seriously? The Strangers DO sound like robots when they talk to you....

Going back a while, the platforms in the Arcade are just a pre-programmed space for things to be, like how the place to exchange Krogmo Koins was vacant before Blast Network, so transitively the tracks at Moorcroft are probably in that same vein. nick implies that the secret is current and accessable by players at the moment, so my bet is something in Haven or some sort of secret level accessible in the Clockworks, not something in the Core, Moorcroft or Emberlight. It could also have to do with the knights themselves too.

i thought about 10 a lil bit harder and i was wondering what exacly am i looking for ive checked this thred countless times and read what he said countless times all i know is that its a secret that no one knows but how do i find it if i dont know what every one knows i mean maybe i did find it but i didnt know it was a secret (p.s. how can the button in FSC be a secret if every one who has made it that far has seen it its not all to much of a secret) but i may have found it its one one of the uhhh arora glade maps i think it is if not a map something like that and a point in the map there is a small segment where there are no monsters no obsicals but there are 6 blocks and i had see this be for and the pattern for it was
1 2 3
4 5 6
and what you had to do was destroy 4 3 6 2 5 1 then you would hear a ding noise you went back to the begining and you found a key you brought the key to the exit and set it down where you could see the door but you were no where neer it you set the key down and waited a few seconds they key flew into the air and a chest appered under it and the key fell on it opend the chest then you got a letter (never found out what to do with the letter and this is a dif game not SK) the reason why i am stating this is because i need some help with the combo ive tried 135642 and 354621 nd there are alot of combos this is just a request plz just when you come thru an area like this try a random combo and if somin happens the plz report

nick can you please give us more clues ? that will be great

oh god, there's no punctuation in your sentences, it makes me want to cry in pain. Why must you do this to us?

Furthermore, show a little more respect for people who work daily to provide a fun service for everyone.

Btw, I still think there should be guild representation for the Church of Monomi.

#10- OOO won't care to bring some GMs back to the French forums?
lulz

Oh I just realized that, in the upper right corner in the HUD there is a black square with bars. Does anyone knowns what does it means?

This has already been posted as another thread, but I feel like it should be used to close out this one. The secret is the Mini-map of Haven Town Square. It's it the shape of gun puppy, but we can't see it. The only way we could see it is if they implemented a Zoom In/Out feature in the game, which I would LOVE to see. Everyday I say there should be one. Anyway, that's the secret, and no more CRAZY ideas.
