    Discover 25 secrets in a single playthrough.

    How to unlock Seeker

    Secrets refer to hidden passages in the game and can be found by all three characters by pressing at certain locations throughout the game. Each secret passage often leads to a chest that will contain various loot items, including weapons, armor and coins. There is a set number of secrets in each level of the game, ranging from 0 to 5. However, they appear differently to each of the three characters and there is also a different number of secrets available to each of the characters in the game. For example: A level may contain 5 secrets but three of these might only be found if you are playing as Eraden and the remaining two found as Farin, which means if you played the whole level as Andriel then you wouldn't have found any.

    Eradan and Farin have by far the most secrets available to them in the game, with about 10-15 each per playthrough. Furthermore each of the scrolls for The Lidless Eye side quest counts as a secret on their own, which will reward you with 21 secrets if you complete this quest on each of your three playthroughs. If following the walkthrough you will play the vast majority of the game as Farin and Eradin so you won't have any trouble unlocking this trophy. However, for your own reference, I have a picture and description of what each secret looks like for each of the three characters.

    Ranger

    Secrets for the Ranger (Eradan) are depicted by glowing footsteps on the ground, these will lead to a section of wall with a compass looking symbol. Simply press to reveal the secret. The footsteps are very noticeable and usually extend from the secret, then back to the main path of the level and thus are pretty hard to miss.

    Champion

    Secrets for the Champion (Farin) are depicted by gold and yellow veins at the entrance to the hidden passageway, these are quite large and take up the majority of the wall in which they are located.

    Lore-master

    Secrets for the Lore-master (Andriel) are depicted by a blue circular glow on the wall. She uses her magical staff to reveal the entrance to the secret by pressing when near the entrance. As previously stated, Andriel has by far the fewest secrets in the game so I advise against using her for this trophy.

  • I did this trophy with just the human and the dwarf, because the elf ones are too hard to spot.
  • Following the advice, i decided to play Elf, Human and Dwarf. I'm in the middle of Human run and i think the Elf is the one with less secret avaiable, it's not balanced. I was very careful and searched all paths in my first run, got less than 10 secrets with Elf.
  • Just thought I'd let you guys know it might carry over the secrets across playthroughs because I had played on Normal difficulty as the Human first, then when I came across the first secret on my second playthrough as the Elf the trophy popped. Not sure if anyone else had this happen, but even the description says "in a single playthrough" it worked on a separate playthrough and character for me.
  • I am working through my third playthrough and never used any character besides andriel (elf) & it just popped for me i do play co-op surprise trophy lol :D
