Finding Secrets
Secrets in Serious Sam 3 often contain valuable health, armor, or ammo, and sometimes even secret weapons. Look for:
- Suspicious cracks in walls: These can often be destroyed with a few shots or a Sledgehammer swing.
- Unusual platforms or ledges: Sometimes a series of precise jumps can lead to a hidden area.
- Out-of-place objects: A lone barrel or crate in an otherwise empty area might be hiding something or marking a secret path.
- Sound cues: A distinct 'ding' sound often plays when you are near a secret.
