Secret Rooms in Dungeons

Discover how to find secret rooms in Cult of the Lamb's dungeons. Learn about totems, hidden paths, and the Ancient Tablets you can collect.

Hey there! So, you're looking to uncover some of the game's hidden secrets, huh? Specifically, those elusive secret rooms in the dungeons. Let's get you sorted! These secret rooms are where you'll find the Ancient Tablets, which are a big part of the 'Knowledge' you collect. There are 10 of them in total, and you'll find them scattered across all four biomes. They're always given to you in order, which is neat. How to Find a Secret Room: Keep an eye out during your crusades, especially in the fighting rooms. You'll know a secret room might be nearby if you spot two totems: one in the background, and another in the room with you. Give the totem in the room a few hits, and it'll activate. A red beam will then connect the two totems, revealing a hidden path! What's Inside? Once you find the secret path, you'll need to offer up 1 Red heart. After you do, a black, fuzzy hand will pop out and give you an Ancient Tablet. Sometimes, the shrine lights will flash one of five colors before you get your tablet. Pro-Tip: If you have the Telescope tarot card, finding these rooms becomes way easier. It helps you spot the hidden room without having to search for the totems yourself. Heads Up: It's possible to find more than one lore room in a single crusade, so don't get discouraged if you don't find one right away! Room Count Clue: If you're curious whether a dungeon has a secret room, check the room count. Usually, a normal gauntlet has 11 rooms. If it's more, there might be a secret! Special Messages: After you collect the first and the last Ancient Tablet, you'll see some special text pop up, kind of like prophecies. The first time, it'll say: > “ I await one who values truth over all else. ” > — The Fanatic, after giving first tablet And after you get the very last one: > “ It is done. Take this, and remember me. ” > — The Fanatic, after giving last tablet Remember, these tablets are important for your collection, so always keep an eye out for those totems!
