Tips for Discovering Hidden Content

🔍

Scan Everything

Use your scanner frequently in areas with light distortions or unusual visual effects - hidden Aurylene distort light and only appear when scanned.

🚶

Walk, Don't Zip

Ziplines do NOT collect Aurylene or trigger some interactions. You must physically walk through areas to find hidden collectibles.

👀

Look for NPCs

Check for NPCs lying down, standing in unusual places, or appearing alone - they may have special dialogue or rewards.

🦋

Follow Butterflies/Creatures

Some hidden areas require following specific creatures like butterflies to reveal secret paths.
