Sephiria How to Find Secret Rooms: Complete Guide

Overview

Secret rooms in Sephiria are hidden areas accessible by breaking specific breakable walls. These rooms contain valuable loot and resources, but they are not marked on your map. Finding them requires learning to identify the visual cues on walls and understanding the room layout patterns.

The good news: secret rooms are not limited to Elite or hard difficulty levels. According to player reports, they have existed since before hard mode was introduced. You can find them in any regular run.

Direct outcome: By following this guide, you will be able to systematically locate and open secret rooms in Sephiria by recognizing wall cracks, checking adjacent room positions, and using a reliable strike-testing method when visuals are unclear.

Requirements

Before you start hunting for secret rooms, make sure you have:

• A weapon you can use to strike walls – this is mandatory, as breaking walls is the only way to open secret room entrances
• Basic movement ability – you need to approach walls and check different sides of each room
• Time to check rooms thoroughly – rushing through levels will cause you to miss secret rooms

No special items, keys, or tools are required to find secret rooms in Sephiria. The detection methods below work with any build.

Steps to Find Secret Rooms

Step 1: Look for Wall Cracks

The most reliable visual indicator of a secret room is cracks on the wall. These cracks are visible before you break the wall, and they are your primary cue.

Important detail: The crack pattern depends on where the secret room is located relative to your current room:

This means you should always scan the top edge of walls when checking for secret rooms. For rooms above you, the crack pattern will be more obvious because it extends down the wall surface.

Community note: Multiple players report that wall crack visibility has improved significantly through patches. If you played before April 2025 and found cracks hard to spot, the current version should be much clearer.

Step 2: Check for Adjacent Rooms

A strong secondary indicator is the presence of an adjacent room directly next to your current room that appears on the other side of a wall.

According to player reports, if you can see a room on the other side of a wall, that wall may be breakable and lead to a secret room. However, this is not always the case — sometimes the visible room is just a regular room.

Key point: Even if the adjacent room turns out to be regular, checking is not a waste of time. You lose nothing by testing the wall.

Step 3: Strike the Wall to Confirm

When you identify a wall that might be breakable, strike it with your weapon. If the wall is breakable, you will break through it and reveal the secret room.

What to expect: A notification will appear confirming your discovery when you successfully break through to a secret room.

Step 4: Use the Fallback Method – Systematic Wall Testing

If you cannot see clear cracks or you are unsure about a wall, use the tried-and-true method: swing at each wall end systematically.

• Approach each wall in the room
• Strike the wall at different points
• Listen and watch for a noticeable hit indicator when you hit a breakable section

This method does not take long to check if you are not 100% sure about a wall. The hit indicator makes it obvious when you have found a breakable section.

Player tip: If you are playing as the Mole class, be aware that this method requires more dashes and movement. Plan your stamina accordingly.

Common Mistakes

Mistake 1: Assuming Secret Rooms Only Appear on Elite Difficulty

This is incorrect. Secret rooms have existed before hard mode and appear on regular levels. Do not skip checking walls just because you are not on a difficult run.

Mistake 2: Only Checking the Wall Surface

For secret rooms located to the left, right, or below, the cracks are only visible on the top border of the wall. If you only scan the wall surface itself, you will miss these indicators entirely.

Mistake 3: Ignoring the Map Layout

Pay attention to the room layout. If there is an empty space or a room visible through a wall that is not connected by a door, that is a strong signal a secret room might be there.

Mistake 4: Giving Up After One Failed Strike

If you strike a wall and nothing happens, try different points along the wall. Breakable sections may be located at specific positions, not the center of every wall.

Advanced Tips

Tip 1: Prioritize Checking Walls with Visible Adjacent Space

When you enter a room, quickly assess which walls have space behind them based on the map layout. Walls that border unexplored or empty areas are more likely to hide secret rooms than walls that clearly connect to known rooms.

Tip 2: Combine Visual and Audio Cues

While the visual crack indicators are the primary method, the hit indicator sound and visual feedback when striking a breakable wall can confirm your suspicion quickly. Use both cues together for maximum efficiency.

Tip 3: Establish a Room-Check Routine

Develop a consistent pattern for checking every room:

1. Enter the room
2. Scan all top borders of walls for cracks
3. Check for visible adjacent rooms through walls
4. Strike any suspicious walls to confirm
5. Move to the next room

This routine ensures you do not miss secret rooms while keeping your run efficient.

Tip 4: Remember That Patches Improved Visibility

If you relied on the "swing at everything" method before patches made cracks more visible, retrain your eye. The current version of the game shows quite visible differences in the wall pattern where a secret room is located. Trust the visual cues first, and use the strike method only as confirmation.
