Secrets

## Sparkling spots

Sparkling spots are small gold stars that can be found along walls and rocks in the game. They can be blown up with bombs (or anything that inflicts explosive damage, including enemies' attacks,) to reveal secret rooms and crawl spaces.

Sparkles appear if there was an explosion anywhere in the room, for example from hazards such as TNT barrels and mines explosions. Secrecy forbids sparkles to appear.

Drinking a Potion of True Sight will reveal the passage when the player is near it, but it will still require a bomb to be accessed.

Upon entering a room with a crawl space or a secret room, the Djinn will snap his hands and make the entrances sparkle.

## Secret X

This x will appear rarely on the ground. Bombing the spot will spawn a blueprint for bombs. If all of them have been found it will not drop anything.

## Secret rooms

Secret rooms are rooms hidden behind a wall. There are two secret rooms per floor; Adventurer's Hat greatly increases the chance of floors to generate three secret rooms. A room can have more than one secret room connected to it. A secret room can be connected to more than one room, including another secret room. While playing Othermine, sometimes floors generate 3 secret rooms as well.

Secret rooms can contain puzzles, basic items, blessings, shrines, treasures, and dogs.

## Crawl spaces

When certain rocks are destroyed they will reveal hidden crawl spaces. These passageways lead to a secret room that may house blessings, curses, or other treasure.

There is only one hidden crawl space under a rock per floor and it cannot spawn under rocks containing gold or in rocks located in secret rooms. Very rarely, another crawl space may spawn per floor in Othermine. Right now the only known version of it contains the Pilfer Market which has 3 connected Pilfer Shops. Crawl spaces are marked on the mini-map.

* Crawl spaces between Goldmines 1 and Goldmines 3 can contain Mr. Rat and Mrs. Rat with the Rat Bond blueprint.
* Crawl spaces between Goldmine 4 and Dungeon 3 can contain Kurtz with the Hungry Ghost blueprint.
* An additional crawl space, marked with a x mark appears in Dungeons 1-4 and contains Lillyth until she is rescued.

## Storeroom

The Debt curse has a method of removal that is generally considered secret which involves a small boss fight in the Storeroom.

## Dibbles Secret Storeroom

When the player saves Dibble for the first time, he will always have a secret room behind him which can contain recipes and chests. If the Peasant approaches the secret room, he tries to keep them away from it.

## Mario Coin Block

There is an Easter egg in the Terminal, between dungeon runs. There is a square shadow on top of the portal. This location is most easily reached by jumping up the rocks on the right side of the portal, then jumping to the top. Jumping while standing on the shadow will give you one gold for each jump. You can receive a maximum of eight gold by jumping quickly. This is a reference to the coin question mark block present in most Mario games where Mario jumps to hit a block repeatedly to receive coins for a set amount of time. This reference was confirmed to have been place in the game by Quasimodem in the Discord.

## Potions

There are two potions in the game that are unlocked in special ways:

* Rainbow Kernels blueprint is found in a secret room in the Halls of Din
* All-Potion blueprint is found by gathering 5 component recipes across the 5 Locations in Undermine

## Creatures that can open entrances

* Bomb Pilfer, Loaded Rat & Ticker by dying right next to it. Their death causes sparkles to appear, even if they miss.
* Lurker, Crypt Lurker, Sand Skulker, Bobo & Glimmerweed by standing right in front of an entrance and letting them attack.
* Troll Bombardier, Ogre Bombardier Ogre Annihilator & Ogre Firestarter (and Bomb Pilfer as well) drop active bombs that can land or be sent with the player's swing attack towards the entrances and open them. The explosions causes sparkles to appear, even if they miss.
