WRATH Aeon of Ruin – Episode 3 Secrets Location Guide

This guide will show you where to find all secrets in the 3rd episode of WRATH: Aeon of Ruin. This guide will cover the locations where you can find the keys, crates, scrolls, as well several achievements that are connected to these collectibles.

The Wretched Domain

Scroll

After spawning, take the meaty circular path around the building to the shelter. Scroll will be right there.

S1: Stick to the right, jump over some floating platforms and up a plateau. Then, proceed over to another plateau and all the way down the stairs. Look around down there for a crate.

S2: When you get back up from S1, jump over again and move forward a little. First, jump down to the piece of black armor.

S3: Use the stones from S2 to get back up and jump over to the big skull. Destroy it, then carefully turn right and look down.

S4: Drop down from S3 and you will find another skull. Destroy it and drop to the ground.

S5: Now on the ground, there are two holes. Drop down either one and dive into the hole where the fall hits the surface. Dive through until you come out, then proceed diving into the next blood pool and follow it.

S6: In a wide open area while still diving, notice the pipes up ahead. Move to those pipes and dive down into the back for a key. Emerge and head over to those wooden structures.

S7: Pass the wooden structures, enter the building, and use the stone to jump into the opening. Destroy the wall and grab the item. Leave and head over to the bone bridge.

S8: Cross the bone bridge and stick to the right. Jump over onto those pipes and in the back corner is some black armor. Then, return to the bridge and cross it one last time.

S9: Just crossed the bridge, go into the building with the level teleporter. Shortly before the teleporter, look left. Crouch down there and go back for the last secret.

The Bounday of the Living

In this level, there are 2 bugged secrets (at least at the time of writing) and I’m unsure about what counts as the 11th secret. I’ve had 11 secrets on all my runs but can’t confirm. I suspect it might be the sunken shrine. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

For the 2 bugged secrets, if you want to get them, you’ll need to use “noclip.” I’m sure most of you know what that is and how it works. Using it won’t cause any issues with secret-related achievements.

Key

The key is directly where you spawn, on the left side, high up. It’s a good idea to grab it early on.

To get it, go up on the right side and use the broken pillar to reach the other one. Then jump up as far as you can normally. Next, perform a cannon jump onto the last niche with the candle on it. Go around the corner, smash the cracked wall, and grab the key. Drop down and continue along the path.

Crate

As you progress, you’ll open a larger door and enter a room with a massive hole in the wall on the left side, where an enemy smashed its way through. The crate is located in that room. Carry on from there.

S1 & S2 / Key: After riding up an elevator and hitting a switch to open doors, stick to the right and follow the circular path into a room with another switch. Jump over to the stone niche in that room and from there into the window. Hit the switch, then notice the wooden plank on the floor. Use it to jump into the flag on the left wall where the secret key is located. Continue by grabbing the blue key and going through the blue door.

S3 / Key: After the blue door, as soon as you get outside, try to avoid destroying the wooden structures if possible. Use stone plateaus and wooden structures to get onto the stone bar in the middle of the area where the secret key is located.

Crate: From the key, after passing a shrine and going inside again, take the stairs on the right side to go up. Pass a locked-away chalice, open another door, and use a switch. After using it, turn around and go for the chalice. Let the elevator take you down, get into the water, destroy the wooden planks covering the hole on the ground, and dive in for the crate.

S4: After a while, you’ll come to a spot with stairs on the right. Follow them until you can see some HP on top of a broken wall. Get the HP to trigger the secret, then continue on.

Crate: After proceeding for a while and entering an area where blue crystals appear on the wall along with blue candles, go left for a shelter and right for the crate. Get the crate and then head over to the shelter to continue with the mission. After the shrine is a good spot for the “Grounded” achievement since only small flying enemies spawn there.

S5 bugged & S6: Shortly after the shelter, you’ll enter a huge room with water falling down. Get up the stairs, jump on the stone ledges on the wall, and use them to reach an opening. You’ll notice that you can’t proceed. Use “noclip” to pass the invisible barrier until the secret pops and pick up the chalice. Turn to your left, jump on the edge, and notice the small ledge to your left. Use it to get on the wall and reach the item. Proceed by dropping down the hole.

S7: In a very big room with lava, the first bridge you enter will crumble. Jump over it, follow the path, and you’ll find yourself on another bridge. Carefully look over the edge on the left side to find a sunken shelter. Drop down there, jump straight until you reach a teleporter, then instead of taking it, jump around the corner and destroy the big skull in the second opening on the right side. Take the teleporter and ride up the elevator.

S8 & S9: Back at the bridge where you dropped down before, you’ll see a big skull and a sarcophagus. Take a left in that room, and you’ll see the item. Get up the stairs, jump on stone bars, then jump around the corner on another one to grab the secret. Continue up the stairs until you reach the top. Turn around, jump on the stone niche to your left, and from there into the opening where the big slimy enemy was. Proceed with the mission.

S10 – bugged: After riding up an elevator and entering a big room with lots of stone crossbars close to the ceiling, use the stones where the candle is to get up. Then, use the tiny stone ledges on the wall to get further up. Jump on the big crossbar, and you’ll notice that you can’t proceed again. Repeat the “noclip” command from the other secret to get it. Turn “noclip” off and proceed.

The Blood Pits

You can get “Stop Staring” in this level. Little hint if you have troubles getting it, there is one really no so obvious eyes, quite far away from all the others.

S1

Directly after opening the blue door. Jump over where the skulls are for a secret. Jump down and proceed but not to far.

After the red door follow the path until you reach a room where you have 3 choices to proceed. Stick to the right, jump over the spikes and use the switch in that room. Get back but before you jump over spikes again, drop down right and you will end up in a room where you can drop into an opened hole. Do that and get the secret. Drop down into the blood.

S6

You moved shortly in that blood and used some stones to get higher up again. You are in a room with a big metal cube thing in it. Use stones and said cube to get back into the corner for a secret.

Continue with mission and you will come back to the room with “3 choices”.

Key

This time take the stairs up left and you will enter a room with a “Devestation Mace”. Go left there into the back for a key.

S7

You have gone on for a while and come into a small room, with one pipe running through it in the ground, ammo and candles at the wall. The wall has a crack. Get in there for secret and also turn off the steam using the wheel, which will grant you achievement “Steam”.

Crate

Proceed until you reach the blue door, crate is in that area. Hit switch and lots of enemies will spawn. Good spot for the achievement “Rage” if you have a fully loaded mace. Stay in the area with the blue door.

You exit where the scroll was. Again use those pillars, this time to jump across to the item you can see. Stay up there, jump one higher and use the pipes as shown. Then jump over to the stones bars. From one to another, on the pipe and into the opening with the key. Get back through yellow door, up that ramp and over to the crate. Proceed with mission.

The Crucible of Souls – Part 1

S1

After opening the blue door and going down the stairs, take a left and head where the enemy smashed through the wall. Use the small stone ledges to jump up into the opening for some black armor. Drop down and head all the way over to the other side .

S2

You will come into a huge room with lots of pipes. Take the stairs to 2nd pipe and look behind it for some secret ammo.

S3

From S2 proceed with the mission until you reach another big room with a switch. From here you can get to 2 secrets.

First notice the bloody plate at the wall. Very suspicious. Destroy it and drop down for a secret. At the secret drop down and get back to the huge room with all the vertical pipes where S2 was located. Head back into the room with the switch where the bloody plate was.

S4

In the same room where the bloody plate was, after using the switch, a stone wall will also open and reveal an enemy. At the spot, let yourself fall down over the edge and jump into the opening below for some black armor. Back to the room with the switch and on with the mission.

S5

In the next room from S4, you can go left over a bridge or right where lots of lavafalls are coming down. Go right first. There is a niche in the stones close to where the stairs start. Drop down for a secret and take the teleporter. You will exit in the same room where you started.

S6

When you come back with the teleporter, get on the bridge. Directly where it starts, drop down below the bridge into another opening for S6 and again take the teleporter to get back and cross the bridge. Stop at the end of it.

S7

You are at the end of said bridge, now look left. Jump over to that armor for another secret. Use the switch, jump over for another item and then backtrack to bridge.

S8

You crossed the bridge and wanna go right and right again. You see another bridge, a broken one. Check left side, the hanging chage. Jump over there and use the holes in the chage to get to item.

This will reward you “Kell’s Chage”. Drop down on stones to your left.

S9

From those stones you just dropped down on make a jump left around the corner to get into another opening. Get into cave for secret. Get out of cave and jump back on stones where you came from.

S10

From the stones, stay on the right side and proceed towards the item on the pillar. On the right side you will again see a bloody plate. You know what to do. From that secret, still stick right until you reach inside again and get all the way back to the “broken bridge”.

S11

From the broken bridge, turn right and jump all the way over there. A lot of bigger doors will follow that all open on themself, revealing enemies. Follow the circular path to get to a “dead end”. Jump on the stones to get to armor. Take the huge staircase back up and you will come to a familiar area. Again backtrack to that broken bridge.

S12

You crossed the broken bridge, followed the path and are in a big room with 3 huge vertical pipes. At the pipe, closest to the stairs, you can drop down on the pipes below. THen follow those and stick the the left to find a secret.

You will get up above the shrine. If you want, there is some ammo on those pipes above the shrine. No secret. Drop down and proceed with mission.

S13

You passed some lava falls on your left, through a narrow path and come into a huge room with a Devestation Mace in the middle. You can see an item to your right. Get over there.

2 ways to get secret.

Option 1: Canon jump up to that item, from there go down all the way and grab items and until secret triggers. Get back up using the stones.

Option 2: There is also a Cruel Aegis close by, near 2 lava falls. Now why would that be there? Equipe it, activate it and drop down into the lava. You land in the lava in the same spot just not from above. You will get enough hp while going up to have 100 again.

Scroll

Proceed on the circular path in the huge room and take the 3rd right. Left and right again and you can see the scrole on a floating stone platform. Get it and back to mission.

Key & Crate

You need to use the sigil now. It will make 4 parts of the wall infront visible that you can destroy. Concentrate on the ones on the right side, they contain the key and crate. The ones on the left, only enemies. Pick up key and open crate. There is a teleporter in that room, use it to get back up on the circular path in the same room just 1st floor.

S14

On that circular path again, take it all the way to the end and head right through the door. You end up in the room with the red key. Dont pick it up yet, pass it and go through the door on the same floor. You end up on a plateu overlooking the room with 3 huge vertical pipes. On the left side, you can see 2 flags. You can jump through the one that is furthest away and then you will fall down. Follow on the pipes and collect all the times. There will be a door you can open and an

elevator you can take back up. Fasted way to get back on track is to find the room with the sigil and teleporter. Use teleporter to get back up and continue on through the last door on the right side of the circular path.

S15 & Key

You are back in the room with the red key. This time grab it and take a right. Follow the stairs until you see a closed doorway and a small opening on hte right side leading into a room with steel stairs. Get below the stairs and into the left corner for another secret. Head up the steel stairs and jump over for a key.

S17

You have gone on for a while and enter a bigger room where you can already see a bloody plate on the wall. Follow the path as you should, get past the yellow key on your right and you will end up on a bigger stone plateu. Since there are 2 plates, drop down left or right side and you are on level with the bloody plate. Do your thing, get back out and up again to use switch and proceed.

S18

After using the switch and going through the door you come to an area that looks identical to another one you have already been to. This time, it lead to a secret. Use those stairs and plateu to jump inot the door across and follow till u can see a chalise. Dont jump over to the chalise, instead jump left around the corner into a small niche with some ammo. Get back on main path and proceed until you have the yellow key.

S19 & Key

In the area with the yellow key, activate 3 switches/pols on the ground to activate the crushers. From the yellow key position you need to check the right side where the crushers are.
