Cultist Stronghold

Secret Area (8):

  1. In the first large plaza with the neatly placed barren tree and plants in the center is a pole with a white banner over it and crates under it. Break the crates and go down that small alleyway.
  2. Upon approaching that first plaza, a large rather detailed area will be in the background. Well that’s the next secret area. After coming down the stairs hug the right wall. There will be two skulls on poles in front of a cracked wooden wall. Break those skoles (read: skull poles) and head back under the building to find a secret area and chest.
  3. In the large area with the double Red Hand Gunners (who frankly need to not exist so that the fun can continue) keep running down the path rather than climbing up the wall via the ramps. Hug the right wall to find a Soul Anchor and secret area.
  4. After climbing the super large wall guarded by the two Red Hand Gunners turn left (that’s toward the screen) to find the area.
  5. This area is tucked neatly away directly opposite the blue beaker pickup under the buildings in the area after the razorblades. Just hug the left wall to find it. There’s also a heart container in there.
  6. To the left of the blue beaker in the same area are some crates. You know what to do to those.
  7. In the area where the Red Hand release Worgs to attack the party, hug the left cells to find a path leading behind them. The area will be clearly visible directly across from the switch pulled to release the Worgs.
  8. In that same area there’s some stairs next to the switch on the right, go down those and enjoy the open air and nothingness. Oh, but wait, what’s that barred off area with all the hay? Go through the hay on the left side for a Soul Anchor and secret area.

Puzzles:

  1. Hit the switch to activate evil spike trap death mode. Must revisit to be sure.
  2. This puzzle is activated by hitting the switch behind the crates in the area with the Worg jails. It’s on the left side of the bridge leading to the checkpoint. Revisit with more players

Heart Containers:

  1. On the large wall (where secret area 4 is) go past the second razorblade to find this heart container.
