Any Secrets to be found?
There's a 20 sided dice you can find, and a lot of references here and there, but anyone think there could be some secrets to be found or find anything of interest?

The 20 sided die you find is another reference to Brian.

MAJOR spoilers ahead (read if you have beaten the game):

When I got out of the part of the cave for which you need a key, the wave detector went off. This was before I knew the entire 'conspiracy' was not any real threat to me or Deliliah. The objective said "explore the deeper side of the cave", so the wave detector was pointing to something else, somewhere north. In my paranoia, i was convinced it was a trap set up by the experimenters to lure me away from the cave. Now, I am really currious what it was pointing too...

I can't recall if this is the exact point where it happens, but there is a time when you have the wave detector where a beep leads you to the corpse of a dead elk (I'm assuming the one you see at the very start of the game) with a tracking collar around its neck. Not sure if there are any other instances of things you can find with the detector.

Oh wow, I missed that one.

A dead elk really? The first time you use the detector and find the bag or the second one in which you find the secret bunker?

Maybe the dead elk is somehwhere else and if you get closer to ir the signal "changes" and it starts detecting it instead of your main objective?

found a rune thing in the old camp, not sure if that's much though

I think that could be what the experiment was actually about. The university experiment with the tracker. We know that Ned planted the documents regarding Deliliah and Henry in that camp. The real experiment probably had to do with tracking wildlife.

I knew something was off with the conspiracy when I saw the equipment. It was clearly weather monitoring equipment. It, and a lot more, is very similar to stuff you see in various fields of climate science.

I found a couple places where you could go off of the path into areas that weren't actual parts of the game. One spot where you can fall through the map. A couple places where you could glitch inside of rocks.

I glitched onto the rocks and off the path and can't get back on it!

FIXED! I Just went back to the area where I initially went off the path and got back on. I glitched pretty far up the side of a cliff, had to walk back down and just kept toggling back and forth between jump and jog. Eventually it shot me back out onto the path. :steamhappy:

There's an unexpected jumpscare in the game. It's in the cellar of an abandoned hut, north of the cave.

Right, that was the Bloodborne rune.

I've been there but i don't remember any jumpscare?

I took a screenshot of the dead elk for anyone who missed it and wants to see. If you need help finding it, it's right after you come out of the cave and pass Brian's hideout. Instead of immediately going back to the cave turn the other direction and the wave receiver should pick up the signal fairly quickly.
