Secret Level Entrance Locations

The locations of the entrances to get to each secret level.

Introduction

Chess Knights: Shinobi recently got a big update that includes 10 secret levels: https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/1383050/view/2919980084790028390
"In each secret level you'll find a special artifact. Solve the puzzle to bring them back to the Dojo and learn more about them."

These 10 recovered artifacts can actually be seen in the main menu of the game on the 10 pedestals around the dojo, and can be viewed in detail in the "Rescued Items" section.

Finding these secret levels is challenging because you have to move your piece to a certain space to enter the level, and there is no way of knowing what tile that is until you land on it.

Below are the locations to the ones I have come across. I have marked them visually with a ninja star icon and a brief description. These are just the locations to access the secret level not the solutions to the secret levels.

Special thanks to Rubytic for finding like half of these!

I tried taking it back to the start but it didn't work, I took the exact path. I'll try again so thx :)

With a hint from the dev about the secret achievement I found it, it's in the discussion about the secret achievement.

For the item just carry it back to the start.

[Emilowhits]

Also 1 question, where am I supposed to bring the item after I've picked it up in these levels?

[Chadworthy]

I am still looking for it with no luck. On an achievement website the achievement has the description "Complete a hidden jigsaw" but I have no idea what that is either. Let us know if you find any hints!

[BANNED_BROTHER]

Anyone found the hidden achievement yet? I am stuck on 23/24 achievements. Thanks

[Chadworthy]

I'm not sure if the "complete the collection" achievement is broken or if it needs that final hidden achievement to unlock.

[Chadworthy]

Wow I had such a feeling that it was over there, but I thought it would be in the two to the left of that, and after trying to get to that spot I had to give up. Nice find!

getting Yon is super super hard if you don't know the route, so I recorded the video on how to reach there.

[Rubytic]

I don't know why but Subete achievement is still locked. Is it broken?

[Rubytic]

Holy man I finally found Yon. It was the hardest one
