3 Secrets right at the beginning....

[valkryss]

but not easy? to solve? All have to do with the starting area. Ok, so here I go...

First Secret:
Needed: A completed run with the Spell "Blink" or a Spellcaster like the Historian with enough Experience for Free, the God of Stamina (combined with allready high favour of it).
What to do: The most right/down god-statue Free with either Blink or sell Experiences to get a shell of the the Blink-Spell. A Shell of a Spell is a semi-transparent icon on the floor with a spell-icon, casting any spell on that spot will activate the spell written on the floor. Now, with Blink you are able to teleport into the room which is right below you. From there on, you follow that room, at the end is another Blink-Shell-Spell, from there, supposedly, you can even travel further into different rooms.

Second Secret:
Needed: A completed run with the Spell "Fly" or a Potion "Fly".
What to do: On the top/left Part of Sanctuary, there are 2 trap-corridors. The right one can be circumvented with "Fly". Never done that, have no idea if it works. The left-corridor is harder to master, because you need to have precicse jumping skills to get over the arrows.

Third secret:
Needed: A compledet run with the Spell "Blink".
What to do: South of Sanctuary is a Hallway with black-arrows shooting from top to bottom. After jumping over the trigger, at the end of the room is a block, behind it is a large, cool looking sword and pink slime. With Blink, one should be able to get there.

Bonus secret:
I think this has something to do with Sow, but I am still guessing. Asking the Lore-historian NPC, he tells you about pink slime, that has to be purged for about 2 weeks. This could mean a lot of different things and you can find them scattered around sanctuary. I think, there must be a combination of maybe a number of lives where the slime has to be purged somehow.

About me:
Favourite Class: Preperation Run: Explorer - then: Historian
Favourite Memento: Fury, Training Dummy, Nail of Giant, Twig,
Furthest Run: Castle in +1 - but they hit hard

Thats all from me, please give me some impressions or other secret related hints.
Thank you.

Ah, I see you've found some of the paths for the surgery achievement. They're actually all managable with focused stats, except for the blink chaining one. I'm still not completely sure what impact clearing all of them had though.
First: There are two more rooms, the second of which has a shrine to Naught.
Second: Those're managable with very high mobility, as the pressure plates for the laser end before the bend, and dodging the arrows is just tough dodging.
Third: You actually have to step on the pressure plate, then have enough speed to get through before the door closes.

That NPC is talking about the slimes/tumors associated with the achievement.
I should probably see what all he has to say now.

Hello, thank you for your reply!
I did not think that I would be getting answers that fast.
1: okay, did not think Naught was there, so... i guess, get the mobility there to pass through the laser-corridor?
3: I guess "Blink" would work as well, but there is, I think, a flesh-pile there. I found out about it, by having the glasses for seethrough at an +1 run. I was shocked, that there was so much around me, that I did not know.
I'm interested in what your favourite class+weapons combo is, if you don't mind.

I'd probably have to go with Priest or Explorer for class, and for weapons it's been mostly "anything I don't have 100+ kills with" and battering ram, although I'm rather fond of the quarterstaff.
