Does every level have a secret room?

[Mr. n]

I'm playing the second char (I didn't finish with the regular apprentice, just my second run) on Easy (ok, it's too easy but on Normal I got my arse handed to me) and I'm on 4th level I think.

The Portal is open.

I haven't found the secret room yet.

Is there a secret room/chamber at every level or only on some? Not sure if it warrants a thorough search (I've used all three shrines with no "revealed a secret room" success).

Yes

its easy to find the secret rooms just look at the walls where a door can be. If you see a crack there it is.

Yes, that's true, but once the levels grow bigger and their walls are getting longer it kind of stopped being to run around, searching for cracked wall (and yet I probably need whatever is inside the secret room!). I hate chores in games.

Thanks for the answers, I'm going to waste time today looking at every wall/possible doorway in the level for the third time then :)!

Yes every floor has a secret room.
You don't have to look for every wall.
1. Secret room has to be same lvl with the other doors.
2. There has to be enough space for a room on map
3. There are probably 4-5 types of wall that can have crack

Thanks, I managed to figure out all this, but once the outside border of the map is long enough, there is a lot of places to hide it. Sometimes there is also ivy on the sealed doorways, I'm not sure if a secret door can be hidden behind it, but I'm going to have to assume it can and check them as well.

I don't think I ever saw a secret room covered in ivy so it's safe to say it's not a thing.

Sometimes the lighting in a room makes it difficult to see the cracks well.

One more thing to note, some secret rooms can be found in the walls of Boss chambers.

Yes, the last one was like that, so I am prepared for every opportunity now.

Thanks for the "not going to be covered in ivy" tip, it will really help! Cheers!

I never saw the hidden room in the boss chamber. often found it on weird places like in monster box chamber

[Mr. n]

What's a monster box chamber?

I've found the hidden room in boss chamber during my first playthrough (btw. I'm not dead yet), so it's definitely possible.

I've managed to find the one on that level that made me post the OP. Thanks everyone!

I think he is just referring to the room with the random box. So if you haven't seen it, there is a room, that has a box. You can open the box or not.

In the box can be anything. Sometimes it makes monsters spawn as well.

Also they love to hide in yellow hazard rooms

I never saw on in a red hazard room

Also they can be in the room with shrines to the elder gods

[Stabbey]

Each level has one and only one secret room. The crack is only hard to spot on floor 2. There is never a secret in a red hazard room because those only have one entrance.

[Mr. n]

Thanks, but the question has already been answered.

What do you mean by that, though? If a room has only one enterance it cannot have a secret room inside? Why?

Most rooms can connect in 2 or more spots, and therefore have the potential to have secret entrances.

The red treasure rooms can only connect to other rooms in one spot, which means there is no other door where a secret could be.
