Do Secrets Rooms really exist?
I'm more than 30 weeks into the game and i havent seen yet any secret rooms. I've defeated allmost all level 1 bosses,made a lot of medium quests but no secret rooms. Is there an option to activate them? Are they so rare?

I don't know the details of how they work but every time I've found one is because I have gotten the "scouting" when entering a room and the secret room got revealed.

Secret Rooms appear ONLY by scouting (Enter a new room and more stuff reveal and well, stuff)

As long as I know there are none on short missions but normally you can easily find them in the longer ones. Just buff scouting if possible (quirks or trinkets) and you nearly always run into one in these dungeons.

Secret rooms exist in medium and long quests, and can only appear in your map after scouting.

I always bring a key with me on medium/long quests since you'll definitely get at least 1 scouting in before the quest finishes. When you use a key in the secret room with light set to pitch black, you'll find three trapezohedrons, which are each worth 2500 gold. If you don't have any of the "head" trinkets, you'll get those first I think.

From wiki:
To enter a secret room, it has to be scouted first. When scouting, eventual secret rooms will appear along a corridor; their position will be indicated by a golden star icon.

Information not on wiki:
- Secret rooms never appear in short quests
- I believe only "Critical" scouts reveal secret rooms. A critical scout is scouting ahead two hallways instead of one.

Can be found on medium and long don't know how many can pop up tho. Through all my experiences they have a chest and you need a key to unlock it. Usually have very rare trinket pretty sure along with jewelry. Can only be found by scouting. Stock up on torches and bring two keys on long runs and one in medium.

Does light level affect the loot you get out of containers? I've never thought about that, and I've gotten 3 trapwhatevers out of a secret room chest with full torchlight...

This doesn't apply to just secret rooms, but you generally find more loot if your light level is lower. So you can max out your loot if it's pitch black.

I've never had that happen before, never got 3 of those gems together with full torchlight. So I'm not sure what to say about that.

Week 40.Haven't found one yet and i've defeated a lot of bosses.Must be bad luck i guess.

I have gotten many, one in a ruins boss dungeon.
Just make scouting as high as possible, and remember that maps cannot find them.
The final boss dungeon always has one that thanks you for playing.
