Secret

Each Hall (except The Vault) has a Secret, also known as the Lord Hex. It is usually in the form of a Pickup, which makes the Lord easier to defeat.

Haunted Caverns

Bloodstained Pages
Secret
At each end of the blood trail they've piled up what remained of his victims. Two morbid shrines, both bearing a fragment of an unholy relic. Unearthing them would require a dire sacrifice. But once reunited, they would form a powerful weapon against the Lord of Pain.

1. There are 2 blood trails leading away from the Bloodstained Pages.
2. At the end each blood trail, a Shrine of Pain can be found. One shrine has a large circle around it, the other is surrounded by three small circles.
   • If you locate the middle of a blood trail, follow one of the directions to reach the shrine or Bloodstained Pages.
3. Each circle is completed by slaying a certain number of enemies within it.
4. Once a shrine is completed, half of the Protective Pendant will drop. Both must be completed to form the full pendant.
   • The Protective Pendant fires a single projectile towards the first and second form of the Lord of Pain, dealing base damage equal to 50% of his max health.
   • Fragile increases the damage dealt by the projectile.

Ember Grounds

Scorched Pages
Secret
Gouged from its lithic corpus, the Ember Eye was passed though many burning hands. Now it's resting on an obsidian slab gazing at the crumbled body it once inhabited. To release its power against the Lord of Regret, one must bring it back and subdue it in battle.

1. There is a skeleton statue above the Scorched Pages, with red hands and pointing in a certain direction.
2. Follow the direction to find another skeleton statue, and note the direction indicated by the next statue.
3. Repeat step 2 until you reach the Ember Eye.
4. Follow the direction indicated by the gleam in the Ember Eye next to the XP bar. This leads you to the Cyclops boss.
5. Defeat the Cyclops to obtain the Cracked Eye
6. With the Cracked Eye, the truffles (bombs from the Lord of Regret) no longer inflict damage.

Forgotten Viaduct

Torn Pages
Secret
Only the bearer of the Sentinel Orb could see past the illusions conjured by the Lord of Despair. And so the artifact was hidden away in the tomb of a nameless hero. To this day, ravens are circling the Sentinel’s final rest.

1. A raven circles around the Torn Pages.
2. Approach the raven to make it fly away, and follow it.
   • This gives a Raven Wings buff of +40% Movement Speed.
3. Repeat step 2 until the raven reaches a Sarcophagus.
4. Destroy the Sarcophagus to reveal the Sentinel Orb.
   • The Sarcophagus has 30 000 Base Health, with a Damage Factor of 50%.
5. Collect the Sentinel Orb.
6. With the Sentinel Orb, the Lord of Despair will not have any invincibility phases.

Frozen Depths

Frost Covered Pages
Secret
With his cold beating heart removed, all that remained was relentless hate. Mesmerized by its pounding, the Lord's last lieutenant captured it and disappeared in the raging blizzard. Only the ghostly lights deep in the frozen hollows may know where the Hating Heart is hidden.

1. 4 glowing orbs appear near the Frost Covered Pages.
2. Approach the orbs to make them float away, and follow them.
3. Repeat step 2 until the orbs lead to the Frost Ghoul Lieutenant boss.
4. Defeat the Frost Ghoul Lieutenant to obtain the Hating Heart.
5. With the Hating Heart, the Lord of Hate's attack patterns become simpler.
   • The Lord of Hate will perform the spin attack more often than the pounce attack.
   • After performing the spin attack, the Lord of Hate receives a debuff to defense. The Hating Heart icon pulses during this time.

Chambers of Dissonance

Twisted Pages
Secret
Among a plethora of twisted experiments and cataphysical creations one particular contraption garnered the attention of the power-thirsty: the Dissonator Monolith, a monument of destruction, powered by a maze of concentrated light rays. It was said that even the Lord of Discord would succumb to its strike capabilities.

1. There are several light relays surrounding the Dissonator Monolith.
2. The first relay is the source (it emits a light ray along a direction), while the rest are inactive. Locate the source first.
   • The source is never beyond 90m from the Well.
   • The source is more likely to be on the right side of the Well.
3. Reorient the source by bumping into it repeatedly, until its ray is aligned with the golden arrow at its plinth.
   • Bumping into the source rotates it 90° clockwise.
4. Repeat step 3 for the subsequent relays, until a light ray is pointing at the Monolith.
   • All relays are always originally in the wrong orientation.
   • There are 8 relays in total before the Monolith.
   • There are a total of 6 possible configurations for the relay spawn locations.
5. Once this is completed, the Monolith begins firing beams at fixed intervals, at enemies in a radius around it.
6. The Monolith beam deals 7000 damage to the Lord of Discord, and 1000 damage to other enemies.
