Legacy Edition’s completion route contains 25 secrets across the campaign. The most reliable method is a chapter ledger: record the number before entering, confirm each discovery as it registers, and write the number after the checkpoint. Marked rocks, tracks, side caves, chests, and hidden camps often sit just before an obvious story route.
Fornost
Search Main Gate side rooms and underground paths, Battlements loot space, and the Outer Wards left branch.
Barrow-downs
The current sequence labels five discoveries, secrets 9–13, from the early right detour through Barrow Amon Gorthad.
Ettenmoors
Coldfells carries 14–16; High Moors adds the fire-side camp, right cave, and final left cave as 17–19.
Gundabad and Mirkwood
Gundabad holds 20–21; Mirkwood finishes 22–25 through Wulfrun, stone caches, and Glorihirin's camp.
Make the game confirm every discovery
End combat, inspect the marked object, and wait for the discovery response. Walking into a hidden room or seeing a chest is not necessarily enough. Open the relevant object, collect any associated drop, and check Gameplay Stats or the achievement state at the next safe point.
Use hero-specific clues. Eradan reads trails, Farin breaks indicated cracked barriers, and Andriel has her own environmental utility. Switch only after the area is safe and let the correct interaction complete before returning to the combat hero.
In co-op, keep the group inside the same side branch until all players have confirmed their state. A host’s notification does not prove a guest received identical progress.
Track the Barrow-downs sequence from 9 to 13
Take the short right detour near the early threshold for secret 9. Inspect the right marked rock for secret 10. After the fog valley and troll footprints, another marked rock on the right yields secret 11.
After the glade portal, the story route points left; first go right past shrines and heaps, climb the hill, and inspect the right marked rock for secret 12. In Barrow Amon Gorthad, search the chest beside a pillar in the first chamber for secret 13.
Because these five form a clean contiguous sequence in the current guide, a post-chapter total can identify the missed segment quickly.
Separate Coldfells from High Moors
Current routing assigns secrets 14–16 to the Coldfells portion, including the area around the second scroll and gilded chest 5. Record those before High Moors so later caves are not blamed for an earlier shortfall.
In High Moors, go left around the fires to the orc camp and sorcerer for secret 17 and scroll 3. Later, take the right branch to a cave entrance and marked rock for secret 18. At the final fork, enter the large left cave, defeat two trolls, and inspect behind the pillar wall for secret 19.
Do not leave the final cave as soon as the trolls fall. Follow the tracks to the marked interaction.
Finish the count in Gundabad and Mirkwood
After Gundabad’s early tower descents, inspect the left marked wall for secret 20. Later, use the left tower exit and search the scroll-4 chest area for secret 21.
In Shadowed Paths, Wulfrun’s area contains scroll 5 and secret 22. After the Beleram sequence and fallen log, follow footprints left to a large stone cache for secret 23. In Woodland Marshes, keep right after the first group and checkpoint, follow tracks through the water, and clear the hidden orc camp where Glorihirin is captive for secret 24. Backtrack and inspect the cache beneath the large left tree for secret 25.
Speak to Glorihirin after the rescue and again after the chapter; the dialogue is a separate missable condition from the discovery count.
Recover a missing number without guessing
Compare the last known checkpoint total with the chapter ledger. Replay the narrowest normal route that contains the gap. Check whether a marked wall was merely seen, a chest left unopened, or a quest item collected without the separate secret trigger.
Do not import original-release saves or edit statistics. If the visible counter and all confirmed interactions disagree, capture the location, chapter, host role, and current AppID 2523770 state for Aspyr support.
Use the Walkthrough hub for full chapter instructions and the achievement guide for the rest of the completion counters.
