Revamped Secrets Guide for SS3:BFE

DISCLAIMER!: Though there is and has been another SS3 secrets guide for quite some time now. I feel as if this one here is too disorganized and cluttered. A long time ago, I asked the creator of that guide to finalize on improvements: spacing, screenshots, JotN section, etc... no improvements have been made and now I am forcing myself to create another guide of the same type, but in my own style.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!

This is the complete guide of Serious Sam 3: Before First Encounter. This guide will help explain of what hidden objects there are through out all 15 Campaign levels. The new screenshots will help give an easier explaination of what the secrets look like and you can probably find the rendered location by yourself. Though each secret is not 100% legit, because others can find other routes and skilled tactics on how to get there faster. I only listed the secrets of what I found in order, so please, enjoy this drastically long compliation of every one of the 138 secrets and their screenshots! You can help by posting comments at the bottom of this page, suggest that on how you might've gotten the secret, or what you think I should fix/add on to this. Thank you, and enjoy!

Please wait while all of the images render themselves, thank you.

If any if the images are too small for you to see, click one one and it will enlarge itself to fullscreen.

No cheats were used during gameplay and difficulty is Normal.

---CHAPTER 1: BEFORE FIRST ENCOUNTER---

1. Summer in Cairo (17 Secrets)

1) Use the Gnaar's eye — As soon as you melee the first Gnaar, look across the roof from where she came from. There's a green speck two buildings over. Throw the eye at a high enough arc (standing at the edge, at the same level as the top of the tall building to the left) that it hits the speck and tosses it onto your roof. If you miss with the eyeball, you can try again with one from another Gnaar (don't run or change weapons while holding an eye, as it will cause it to vanish/drop). Pick up the shotgun and kill the next Gnaar, showing a "Secret assistance!" message. Reward: Pump Action Shotgun.

-
2) On top of the starting building — Jump across to the roof with an antenna that is beside the door down; the sledgehammer is a "Parkour secret." There is no reliable way down, but try jumping for a window ledge to break your fall. Reward: Sledgehammer.

-
3) From the roof where you've picked up the sledgehammer in the previous secret, jump down to the lower roof and face the building you originally started the game on. You will see some caged balconies that have a small ledge you're able to jump to. Jump across to land on the second from the top, then face the building you've just jumped from — you will see balconies as well. Jump towards the left side of the middle (second from the top) balcony to grab a pickup (it might not be visible from the balcony you're standing on). Reward: Shells +10.

-
4) On street level beside the starting building — A pack of shells is in an alley; pick it up to get the secret. A Beheaded Rocketeer is right beside it. Reward: Shells +5.

5) Just after you kill the first Female Gnaar on ground level — To the left you can see a glowing blue armour on the third floor of a ruined building. Jump on the boxes, then the garbage bin, then the kiosk. Press up against the building directly under the armor and jump straight up to pick it up; this is a "Parkour secret." Reward: Armor +25.

-
6) After the road where you fight a bunch of Female Gnaar — You walk through a ruined wall. Look to the right beside a garage. Behind a corrugated wall is a health pickup with a "Mini secret found!" message. Reward: Health +1.

Note that you will pass Secret 14 before reaching Secret 12, but save that until later if you want to save a little bit of time. From here you will be able to see Secrets 12 (Shells on the portable) and 13 (one health on a building ledge). Run over the shipping container and jump over to the portable in the parking lot, and pick up the shells. Reward: Shells +10.

-
13) When you're standing on the portable from Secret 12, look toward the building — you will see a health pickup on a ledge. You can jump on to the wall from here or backtrack and run along the wall from the building.

The worm seems to take a bit longer than usual to start burrowing towards you if you make a beeline directly towards the Minigun from the truck. Reward: Minigun.

-
2) Near the starting point to the left is a broken wall with some pillars in front of them. There is a small nook at the top of the wall where ammo is hidden. Seen from above, the wall is "T" shaped — the ammo is located at the intersection. While the walls extending from the T are destructible to explosives, the area that the ammo is located on is not. This means that if the walls around it are completely destroyed, the ammo will stay up there and you'll have no way to jump up to reach it. For this reason it's recommended that you either go for the pickup quickly after starting (before heavy fighting takes place), or fight away from the area where it won't get hit by rockets. Reward: 3 Sniper Rifle Rounds.

-

There's the developers as bigheads here and a health pack. Reward: Easter egg, Health +100. Message: "Secret Hall of Developers found!"

-
3) The Dark Bride — There are two portables behind a lockup. The portable on the right has a destructable door. Reward: Electricity +50. Message: "Secret found!"

-
5) At the end of the level, before entering the temple with the control room (and starting the Scrapjack Boss fight), go all the way to the end of the valley behind the temple. Inside some bushes is some armor. (You can do this after you’ve started the final boss fight as well, but it’s easier to do so before.)

-
6) After sliding down the pipe and losing the jetpack, when you hit the ground, shoot the Kamikaze running right to left on the top of the first bridge before he teleports out. Then continue towards the second bridge, where you will trigger the Revenge of the Kamikaze secret and get attacked by several more Kamikazes.

-
7) At the final area, in the center, you’ll be between two pylons with rubble in front of them. Jump on the rumble of either of the pylons, if you can’t jump to the left, jump to the right.

Repeat this sequence for the opposite pylon and a teleporter will appear between them on the ground, which will teleport you back to the starting area, where an enormous Kamikaze will be standing in front of you, then rapidly charge at you. Kill him to register the secret.

[Part 2 due to character limitation]
When on the roof you can jump on the surrounding wall and walk along all upcoming challanging areas. When at the end of the wall (along the Sphinx), jump onto the sand and run to the right (so a bit further away from the sphinx) and jump on the next wall to walk continue your wall journey and walk straight to the end of the level. The ending scene with helicopter pickup will not automatically roll-out, but if you walk to the door exiting the pyramid then the ending scene will start normally and the helicopter will fly in to pick you up and bring you to the next level.

[Part 1 due to character limitation]
For some reason no one ever found out, but in Serious Sam 3 BFE level 7 there is a way to skip about 75% percent of the level. You will not be able to grab all secrets, but it is a fun way when looking for alternative routes of completing the level. So, in the area with the ticket booth where you can sell tickets to an enemy rocketeer, look out of that window and you will see an office at the very end of the field => the office that has the purple key inside. That building has some stairs with a railing aside of it. Go stand on that railing. Then jump onto the open door. Then jump on the roof of that building (which comfortably has no roof railing for that tiny bit of roof).

[The_Pastmaster]

@-Dare Devil/x/ Awesome tip on how to get the dumpster medkit (Secret 4) in The Silent Riddler.

[Zhnigo]

correction for Born Again #4: you need a different keycard from the one used to proceed, it's located behind the building next to the one with the regular keycard

[anappian4]

For anybody having problem with Secret #2 in The Lost Temples of Nubia, where bullets won't drop. Put your graphic options on lowest.

[Tulip]

BORN AGAIN, secret 2: there's a health pack and armour, but I found if you're already at full health and armour then discovering the items doesn't register a secret - one of them must be picked up for the secret to register "found".

A suggest route is to grab the Jetpack , turn around to 8 o'clock, fly up to the high ledge (on the right leading out of the canyon) and take out the harpies and arachnoids ahead, plus Reptiloids to the left (in the crook of the route back) and to the right (near the starting point).

Any damage/injuries sustained during that skirmish can then be replenished using the secrets behind the temple - just involves a bit of backtracking, but at least the secret will then register.

[NemkeSRB]

Under the Iron Cloud - Secret #10 (Nuthouse) In order for Major Biomechanoids to spawn, you must collect the pill, not only walk over it. I had to do damage to myself with a rocket launcher since I had 200/200 entering this area.

[Slenderminion]

Great guide! Had to find out the hard way that you HAVE to kill the second Gnaar with the shotgun for the secret to register though.

[OldAndBusy]

Mid-distance right side, corrugated fence jump 150 electricity is no longer doable. Boxes are not stacked high enough, unlike what is shown in your guide and Methos' youtube video. Was it removed? Moved?

6. The Silent Riddler (8 Secrets)

6.4: Dumpster med kit.

This is no longer reachable and you need to do what this poster wrote in this comment chain in 2017. Thank you so much! For others like me, you will have to do this:

"If someone can't get it on PC, just stand in fron of the medkit, and press alt+tab, to switch to any other program. When you press alt+tab again to return to the game, immediately after that (while the screen is blank) press forward, and Sam will get this secret."
