This guide aims to highlight these often-overlooked locations to help you discover everything the game has to offer.

Key Hidden Areas & Secrets:

1. The Bastille Secret Area (DLC): This specific secret area is part of the Cagliostro's Secrets DLC, offering unique challenges and rewards for those who delve into its depths. Details on accessing and navigating this area can be found in the DLC's dedicated walkthrough.
2. General Exploration: Throughout the game's various districts, keep an eye out for breakable walls, illusory paths, or seemingly inaccessible ledges. Many of these lead to small caches of resources, upgrade materials like Lavoisier Catalysts and Sublimators, or collectible Echoes.
3. Side-Quest Related Secrets: Some side quests may lead you to areas that are not part of the main progression, often containing hidden items or lore. Pay attention to NPC dialogue and quest objectives for clues.
4. Collectible Hunting: The game features various collectibles such as Outfits, Weapons, Modules, and Echoes. Many of these are found off the beaten path in hidden alcoves or require specific platforming skills to reach.
