Order of Ecclesia is packed with hidden areas, breakable walls, and secret collectibles. Thorough exploration is key to uncovering everything. Always look for:

- Breakable Walls: Many walls can be destroyed with attacks, revealing hidden rooms, items, or even entire new paths. Look for cracks or suspicious-looking sections of walls.
- Hidden Passages: Some areas have invisible platforms or passages that only become apparent when you jump or use certain Glyphs.
- Relics: These permanent upgrades are often tucked away in hard-to-reach spots.
- HP/MP Max Ups: These crucial stat boosters are frequently found in hidden rooms.
- Rare Glyphs: Some of the most powerful Glyphs are found in secret locations or as rare drops from specific enemies in obscure areas.
- Villagers: As mentioned, many villagers are hidden and require careful exploration to find.
The map is your best friend; if you see an unexplored section that seems inaccessible, there's likely a hidden path or a Glyph you need to acquire to reach it. Revisit old areas with new Glyphs (especially movement Glyphs like Volaticus or Magnes) to uncover previously unreachable secrets. Achieving 100% map completion is a rewarding challenge that ensures you've seen everything.
