also on aurora isles there is this one keyed gate that no one knows where to get the damn key to begin with. i mean how can you open that thing? and i knew about the aurora isles being the oldest. it's kind of a dead giveaway that it looks "older" unlike the treasure area with the coins and minerals.
Most people know how to open that door :)
I may be far off but, maybe it's those purple glowing markings on the ground in some Depths.
I thought Vog was a sort of god who just shows himself through wolvers.
And the key in Aurora isles is easy to get *SPOILER* shoot the rocks ouside the area near the start and the key appears *SPOILER*
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.
@Kaiser
I thinks thats just to show that they are NPCs. A lot of games differentiate player and non-player characters with colors.
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.

What on earth are you talking about? I log my knight out in the Bazaar every day, and that's where I end up when I log back in a day later. I hate the few times I end up logging in at the Town Square because it takes longer to load, I almost never need to use the Auction House immediately, there is absolutely nothing of functional use in the little southern room you start in upon login, and there are more beggars in the Town Square than in the Bazaar.
Besides, the family laptop's graphics card can't handle it, and crashes, freezes or forces the screen to go black whenever my brother goes there on that laptop (we can only do anything about it if it's the "screen goes black" problem, wherein he can still move, albeit blindly. We have to have him steer his way to the Bazaar while looking at my screen to see where he's going. If I'm not home and logged in, he's screwed.) Suffice to say, my brother is completely incapable of seeing the Town Square on his machine, ever. Much less every day. He, like me, always logs off in the Bazaar.
...By the way, for those wondering about the big burly guy standing just outside to the south, he's a Spiral Warden keeping the monsters out of Haven. They're also the guys guarding the entrances to Moorcroft Manor (Tier 2) and Emberlight (Tier 3).
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.
"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 think #10 it's about energy. Specifically mist energy.
I mean, every player sees their 100% everyday (24 hrs?). And according to the game, mist energy is given by the Cradle, that casually seems to work like a giant clock (Clockworks anyone?). And what does clocks do? Oh they spins! just like everything in this game.
=)
PD: Sorry for my english if I made any fault.
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.
You have to remember that Nick said "players" not " ALL players" It could be in any level of the clockworks. He also said that it hasn't been figured out from what they can tell.. meaning that maybe someone has figured it out because Nick has no way to tell for certain if someone has figured it out.
I'm lost.
Plz release lockdown already! :P
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.

So I've been running around Haven trying to figure out secrets, haven't seen much of anything.
Anyone wanna tell me what they heck is on Brinks and Kozma's backpack? It looks like a symbol or something...or it just part of the design, its too small for me to tell?
Also you can find this http://missiongeek.com/storage/post-images/2011/02/Cloud%20Strife.jpg?__...
sword near Punch and Vise
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? ^^;
The FSC switch is in the first room on level 27 under a single crate. Regardless of hitting the button or not, the same amount of zombies spawn in the same way (proximity to crates) in the vertical room. After doing countless tests, I still do not know what that switch does.
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.
Basically, what i think is no #10 is the "Spiral Knights" title. You can see that a sword forms between the A of Spiral and H of Knights. That closely resembled a proto sword which you get first thing you start this game. This has been continuing for a long time as the proto sword cannot be disposed. Thus it leads me to ponder that the sword is a secret.
The cog logo also resembles something peculiar, about how cogs are rotating in the login screen, and that these cogs are typically big. I suspect that these cogs are levels that we have and generated and rotate in time so that levels change again and again. We can create our own levels too. It is also stated that there could be "Power Distortions". Power? Electricity! Of course cogs are typically technology and there are also glowing "rooms" inside those cogs. Typically, These cogs are our "levels", with the rooms as well rooms... Crystals here then generate the power needed to run the levels and thus leading to us typically using the lift (which could be why the cogs are held in place with a single rod). How secret =.= teehee
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...
#10 obviously has something to do with Haven, because the wording implies its something that everyone can see.
Also, I haven't heard anyone mention the piping in Haven. What do they carry, exactly?
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.
However there is one that players see every day that so far as we've seen, no one has ever figured it out. Curious!
I noticed something about the training level:
1) You can attack the drop pod. I haven't been able to kill it, but it does react to attacks
2) There are strange noises that play when you are here and here. If the first noise plays then you need to hear the second noise before you can hear the first noise again. Maybe something activates when you get into that area, but I haven't found it yet...
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.
@terrordeath The piping goes from the gates to someplace off the map or into one of the houses. It probably carries minerals. I dont think it has to do with the piping since if you go into the party lobby the piping is always the same.
I think the secret may be that when you look at what elements the stratums are (i.e. fire, gremlin) stratum 2 has a pipe that connects to stratum 4, 3 goes to 6, and 4 goes to 5. This may have something to do with the gate construction theory
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...
So, someone may have pointed this out already, but I'm not going to sift through 4 pages of comments while I'm at work. Many of you assume too much about #10.
The actual text:
"...There is [a secret] that players see every day that so far as we've seen, no one has ever figured it out."
What many of you are assuming:
"...There is [a secret] that all players see every day that no one has ever figured out."
This could mean that as few as two people see this secret every day. This means that the mystery switch in FSC or something in Moorcroft Manor aren't ruled out. I think that it requires a player action to trigger (hence the "figured it out" part). I have a few theories, but I'm not posting anything about them until I've tried them myself =p.
This doesn't mean the guilty users here are wrong, since I don't know what the secret is either, but you shouldn't rule things out just yet.
By the way, OP, you've got the stench of troll on you for posting #10. I hope you read this: The Game.
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.
Somehow I just can't bring myself to believe that there are still "lots of secrets in the game, many". Even the existence of that undiscovered ONE sounds sort of... implausible. We have been bored a lot and searching for more fun things to do. We tried a LOT of things, the rather strange & difficult things too and probably even most of the stuff that doesn't even remotely make sense - just to see if it does something. So I'd guess, whatever those secrets are: they're buggy. Doesn't show often / almost noone got the random chance of even trying / does only rarely work like intended / maybe isn't even visible with lower detail settings or something like that.
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 think I may have figured it out.
So I was at a terminal waiting for the level to switch to arena, and i noticed in the top right corner, where it shows the depth, and crowns, and all that stuff, there was a gear.
I think that may be it. It is hard to see, but it is there. I hope I am right.
I feel it could be references to anything, whether it be text or item, something could reference another game.
#10 There's no fountain in the fountain?
I feel like I should express my love for your Back to the Future reference in the Voltedge description.
> By the way, OP, you've got the stench of troll on you for posting #10.
If I were at all handy with this sort of thing, I'd make an impostocube with a trolldad face for you. You'll just have to imagine it.
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 recently got a Dark thorn blade. I noticed something- Whenever I switch from my Glacius to my Dark thorn blade the tip emits a bright blue glow. None of my other swords has that effect however. I can post pics.
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
@Eurydice
There's no need to imagine it.
http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j452/dino_monsteroo/impostotroll.png
nick can you please give us more clues ? that will be great
plz no more of a reason to find it cant we just lay it to rest and get on with our social lifes i swear its like u guys are killing everyone i bet theres someone some where who hasnt stopped playing since u put up this thread
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.
The secret can't be that the Snipes in the AH are wearing visors like they're running things... right?
That'd just be too silly >_>
#10- OOO won't care to bring some GMs back to the French forums?
lulz
cyclopes maybe? every day, at least one of the gates has a cyclops symbol. the statues that are placed on pressure plates have 1 eye thing. maybe the konjuring kat banished the cyclops forever or something.
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?
It mentions that the clockworks are meant to confused its travlers and that it is like a cat,toying with its pray before it strikes the final blow. It also mentions that the writer of it hates cats.Since number 3 is about gun puppys i thought of this, and number 8 has to do with kats....where are the people who write these artifact messages? Trapped by a Kat Boss? ''toying with its prey before it strikes the final blow'' what could that mean....
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.
while that is nice, I would love a pic to prove this. As when I look at haven town square it looks like a circle with a fountain in the middle...
@fel thats your connection to the game, its your internet connection strength. Like bars on a cell phone?
I think I know what you're talking about with the key gate, and I'm pretty sure I've gotten it, just take some searching. ;)
Stone Grove is it? Maybe check wiki if you wanna ruin the surprise.
