Taras Nabad Secret (solved)

[[TrC] Diabolus]

Anyone figured out how to get to the secret in my screenshot? Been circling it for forty minutes trying to figure out if there's a ledge or a switch. Driving me nuts.

The slow time rune helped me see that the gate it was behind was breakable. Without it, you fall too fast and it's too dark to get a good look.

what is the trick?

You need to use the slow time rune to get a good look at where it is, and keep at it until you manage to dash through the breakable wall / hole. It's a total pain. Just keep leaping down that massive hole the throne room takes you to.

I must have spent over half an hour with that one. None of the explanations I found online did any good.

Here's this (for anyone else who hasn't managed to get it): before the fall you have to go around the pit and align yourself to be looking in the direction of the corridor through which you got there. You should be facing a wall. Then drop off the ledge, and if you look down, the passage will be in the first illuminated ring that you pass on your way down. Just dash through it. May take a couple tries since the opening is pretty small.

As it has been mentioned, the time slowdown rune helps if you're still having trouble.

This and the slow time rune helps immensely. The normal fall rate, and the eventual point where you can no longer double jump, makes it such a pain.

that's the 2nd hardest secret I had. Took ~30 minutes. But imho it's not the hardest. :)

I have everything in the game, and can't think of anything remotely as hard.
Which other do you have in mind?

A battery & toy in Taras Nabad where you look for a cracked statue to punch to reveal a switch to open the gates to said secrets.

I only finished the game w/o three secrets, and those two were the ones I had the hardest time figuring out. The rest were much more straight forward, these two were Serious Sam level secrets. The first one of these two took me longer then the drop down the hole one listed above.

For the secret in the OP, when I went back to the level after I finished the game I used photomode to find that the wall it breakable. :p

Yeah, I remember that one, you punch and there's a green square switch behind. I did find that one myself.
This one, I spent half an hour trying even after reading all I found on the web about how to get to it.
