Secret #20

Book of Infinite Wisdom

At the beginning of Time and Tide, there will be a pressure switch that activates a teleporter after a few seconds when standing on it. You need to shoot something through it just after the 3rd tick sound to close the pits. Now step off the switch, place something on to activate the teleporter again. Quickly stand where the teleporter appears to get warped into the secret.

Secret #28

Herder Cap, Conjurer's Cap

This is one of the most annoying puzzles in the game, but most people eventually get the secret open by just randomly mashing buttons and levers.

To get the amazing item for your mage, you need to place something (not throw!) on the teleporter to continue. You might want to prepare for a harsh fight before continuing as 2 Cave Crabs will come from behind after picking up the orb with no room to avoid them.

Secret #35

Spirit Mirror Pendant

In the Maze of Madness, there are two buttons. One on the south wall accessible from the entrance, and other and the far north-west near the key.

Secret #38

Rock, Sack with Speed Potion and Recipe to make Speed Potions

This is one of the easiest secrets in the game. Just walk clockwise around the walkabout 3 times. A lone skeleton will appear during the walkabout, but it shouldn't be much of a problem at this point.

Secret #39

Shuriken, Lurker Pants

Actually on level 7 (see map) but it can only be access via the pit in the Mage's Entrance. Just jump down and collect your loot, the door will open as you grab everything. Many Wyverns and a Crowerns are outside the door, so you will need to fight your way out.

Secret #40

Full Helmet

Actually on level 8 (see map) but it can only be access via the pits in Level 6, then down the pit again (see map)! On the east side of this room there is a floor switch and Scavengers. Leave something on the switch so it can be grabbed from the other side, then take it off to access the door. You will need to do this again to leave the cage.

Secret #41

Plate Cuirass, Plate Gauntlets

The hallway that shoots fireballs in the Mages Entrance has 2 alcoves opened by buttons. The far a room has another button that opens stairs back to Level 5 in the first alcove. Expect a firefight as 2 Uggardians protect this secret.

Secret #42

Ring Mail, Sword of Nex

In the huge pit chamber in the Halls of Fire, there will be 5 timed buttons. (see map) The first is just south of the entrance, the second is on the pillar facing you, button 3 is on the opposite side of that pillar, 4 is just left that that one. Quickly backup on that one, and go all the way around to get to 5 which is on the other side of that pillar. This will unleash an Uggardian who protects the secret.

Secret #43

Poison Bomb, 2 Fire Bombs, Shield of Valor

The Sword of Nex from Secret 42 is required! This is the hardest challenge in the game, so you may need to return when your more powerful. Take the north path in the Hall of Fire (after throwing a fireball to the statue to open the path), and press the block with the marking to get to the Fighter's Challenge. REST FIRST!!!

The best strategy I have found is to fight all the way to the gate, then turn to the right and fight to the corner. You might lose someone, like your mage, but you should be able to stick it out and win. Making a few Healing Potions before the battle also helps. Once empty, find the Gold Key and open the lock and claim your prize, the (arguably) best shield in the game!

Secret #44

Chitin Mail

The Iron Door requires a Round Key. There are 4 throughout Level 6, but only 3 are needed to get to the exit. Find the 4th key by exploring everywhere to open this door.

Boots of Valor

North of the Crystal of Life is a teleporter that crosses a pit. You will need to cross to the far side of the room but each step unleashes a poison bolt. You will need to strafe side to side as you go forward to get to the secret alive. Get ready to fight your way out as crabs and spiders will make your journey difficult, not to mention racing the poison bolts back to the other side.

Secret #51

In the southern room of the Lightning Conduit there is a button at the south-west corner. A new path will open to the north-east where you will find a button on the other side, just to your left.

Secret #56

2 Throwing Axes, 3 Crossbow Quarrels

In the south-west area of the level there is a large hall with Uggardians. This button is very easy to miss since it is on the east side of north-western pillar of this room.

Secret #63

Zhandul's Orb

The Iron Door is located in the south-west area of the level, but you need a Bone Amulet to open it. I hope you are wearing one because this is one amazingly powerful item for your mage!

Secret #64

Throwing Axe, Crookhorn Longbow

The Iron Door beside the Crystal of Life, just north-west of the stairs down, needs the Red Gem found near the entrance of this level. Did you leave it in an alcove somewhere?
