[Ani]

@Totto Thanks so much!

[Totto]

@Ani
Yeah, there are 3 in Total, if i remember it right, have a look at my map, it was very far in, i believe it was: "A Hearty Room"
I didn't implemented it into the Guide, cause there existed another for this Challenge solely and (it was a pain in the butt to edit all the screenshots for the Guide >.< ^^ )

[Ani]

I've done both of the "secret" areas in the dark rooms but still don't have the achievement, is there another room with a hand print area?

[Totto]

@Nikkie
I trusted you completely and edited it :-)

[Nikkie_Slaughter]

For the monkey challenge, the second to last step says "east, east, then north" but it should say something like "east, southeast, then north" because when you go east it branches into two directions, one straight east and the other down and then east.

Thanks for this guide!
