Is there any way to spot one. What I mean is in Hammerwatch for example you can find secret passages by looking for cracks and eyes. Is there anything like that here or do you just need to go around running into everything?

Cracked walls are present in DROD too. However, some of them are harder to spot than others.

Thank you sir.

I just finished the 1dt level and didn't see anything so I'm guessing there is nothing that early on.

1st level - Outer Walls? There is one secret room in this level.

In DROD 4, Outer Walls is the first level you can access a secret. The breakable walls are in 2S2E. If you're playing DROD 1, they're in Third Level 1N1W.

Don't feel pressured to beat them (or even look for them) on your first run through. Secret rooms are special in that the game remembers if they have *ever* been conquered by you, not just if you've conquered them in your current save game. So even if you restore to a point where the secret room looks unconquered, the game knows that you beat it once before and still counts it in the final stats.

Also, once you've finished the game the restore screen shows you how many secrets exist on each level and how many you've beaten, which makes the hunt easier. Typically people will play the game and stumble across a few obvious secrets on the way, but then find and attempt the rest by restoring around after finishing the hold.

Thank you so much. I guess I should lighten up and relax. I'm still uppity about Duke it out in DC which I had for two years before I found the secret level which turned out to be the coolest level in the game. :P
