(Feedback/Help!) Published a Consolidated Secrets Guide

[Dravvad]

Hey everyone. I finished playing The Hex the other day and decided to consolidate some of the stuff that the community has figured out for the game into the following guide:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1574764877

There is a lot left for me to add to the guide, but I wanted to publish what I have now and get some feedback, help, and so on.

Currently, the guide has 100% information on all of the achievements and only 1 small secret (referenced via an achievement, e.g., the coin and the fishing island).

I also linked to the other thread here

https://steamcommunity.com/app/510420/discussions/0/3104564981103666800/

in a section about the "ending" secret that people worked out so far.

And at the bottom of the guide, I linked to a handful of threads that I used in my second playthrough to wrap up my achievements.

My guide has a "Work Left to Do" section since obviously there's a ton of secrets I know about (and experienced in the game, both by myself and from reading the forums) that still aren't in the guide, along with some cleanup, good things like screenshots to probably link people to, etc.



But TL;DR... Basically I have more work to do, but need:

• Feedback on what it looks like now, additions, changes, etc.
  
• Any information if the community has consensus on crediting specific people for certain discoveries
  
• Any help people might provide on stuff listed in the "Work Left to Do" section
  
• If people are OK with me putting the "ending" secret summary into the guide (maybe rewording a bit) and if so, who to credit

The goal isn't to spoil the entire game for anyone, so everything is still tagged all in the guide for the most part. But I wanted to consolidate everyone's findings into one place and document it and also help future players if they really feel like looking at something after getting stuck.

Please help me out if you can and thank you for your time. =)

The fifth card, the inn, is actually hidden AFTER you can meet Katrina. It's in the Vicious Galaxy 2 section where there's a hidden passage if you press against the left wall early on. The flag for having found this one has been notoriously twitchy, so it may be best to complete the whole of walk after finding it. It'll stay in your inventory and replaying to the consultation will let you ask about it.

I wish this guide existed when I was looking for the achievements. The spoiler free guides hints were basically useless.

The hints in this guide are really good and slowly progress to just full reveals. It's really well done.

A lil correction in the guide:

- About the secret achievement Error 2X you just need to stop after typing BA

It's a silly thing, I know, just pointing it. xD

- Also about the achievement For Mir's Sake , there is another "simpler" way that doesn't really require setting up much in battle that you can do:

1. Get to the desert and get the northeast coin.
2. Use the coin on the edge where the Charon sign is, south of town.
3. Fish there and get "Critty tuna" and a "Fiery Flounder".
4. Use them in that order. You should get those 500 damage!

This method makes also easy to beat the creature that gives the Mimic Charm, making the fight a breeze.

Thank you! Will update with that.

Thanks. I did the achievement myself too but I already forgot whether you used that there or not :P

Thanks for that too. I found the fishing island and used the Critty Tuna at points but never tried the Fiery Flounder or never got one of them anyway.
