Massively helpful, thank you! Plus 1.

The Karma is coming, but I have to wait until 11:03 to bestow it, having only just discovered both of your maps
Edit: Bam!

Minor correction: The gray rectangle labelled "Oskahold West Gate" should be changed to "Oskahold East Gate." I'm outside it right now and double checked the name.

Thanks, I've updated, but not posted it to the forum yet. Let's see if we can find some more of those secret doors before I repost.

Hi guys, I'm new to posting but have been following for a little bit now. Anyways just wanted to say I found a secret door in Korvain's Trench.

Edit: Are the secret doors always in the man made walls and not cave walls? Also are the 'secret' items that are inside a specific tile included? If so there should be one of those in the warm cave and also one in the escape from red hill. So escape from red hill would have 1 door and 1 item tile. Right?

campiosa, thanks for the feedback and welcome to the forum. I will update the map accordingly. They added some new doors recently so there are some that I don't have yet. I haven't included the walk-on-tile secrets. There don't seem to be any/many after you get out of the Oskhold area. And yes it seems all secret doors are in the man made walls.

! contributor- what sorcery is this? Walk on tiles?? Somebody elaborate- I've never seen one!

[contributor]

You mean you've never found the secret ring in the prison cell or the magic fire ring or the Kallasian armor?

At least that's what I assumed he meant.

[En1gma]

Ohhh. I was thinking like some pressure plate dealy that opened something when you stepped on it. I guess I'm off today...

[campiosa]

Yep those are what I meant.

Edit: found a secret door in the vermin warren.

Thank you for this terrific map, lurker. Great resource.

Addition: there's definitely a secret door in either Muddy Cavern or West Road. I don't have my tablet with me (I play on my Galaxy Tab), so I'll have to recheck which, once I get back to it!

As long as I'm posting, do secret doors always lead to a chest and nothing else? I've only found that one kind, though I did find the fire-resistance ring. Didn't find the secret loot in the initial level; didn't know to look, so can't wait to get back there---thanks to lurker's map, I'm happy to know I eventually can with this same team.

natboopsie - most secret doors lead to treasure chests that have enhanced loot drops and percentages of really good items, or big potion caches. There are some levels in which they provide safe places to rest or shortcuts.

[natboopsie]

Thank you, fallen, for clearing that up for me!

Speaking of clearing things up, I'm glad I went and rechecked. I misremembered the area, and it's in "that other place that's west"---at least that's how it goes in my mind.

The one I found that isn't on the map already is in Korvain's Trench. So that would be the same one that the poster a few posts back found; I just saw that now. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up!

I'm really excited about the idea that there are some secret passages in HoS that are shortcuts. The standing shortcuts (tunnels, water taxis, and thopters) in Cyber Knights are one of my favorite features in that game.

There are 2 secret doors in the Torrent Watershed. Not sure if they've been reported yet?

I was just coming here to report those too. Must be new!

And awesome job on the maps, OP!
