Yo fellow adventurers! Today I’m gonna spill the beans about the most frustrating-but-rewarding secret room in Avowed’s Sand Sea Ruins. 🕵️♂️ You know that moment when you’re 100% sure there’s a hidden door, but the switch might as well be in Narnia? Yeah, Obsidian really went full galaxy-brain with this one. Let me save you three hours of wall-humping!

That Suspicious Wall Behind the Altar

After defeating the rage-mode bear (seriously, who designed that furry nightmare?) and grabbing the Heart of Leviathan, DON’T LEAVE! I almost missed this because the game goes 『quest complete! go cash in!』 but trust me – the real treasure isn’t the magical macguffin. That faint door outline behind the altar? Not a decoration!

I spent ages:

• Following the cable ⚡ → leads to dead end

• Shooting fireballs at every wall sconce 🔥 → nada

• Even tried sacrificing junk items on the altar 💀 → game laughed at me

The Solution:

1. Walk behind the altar

2. Face the left "fang" pillar 🦷

3. Look UP – the switch is at pillar’s crown like some sadistic Easter egg

Why Bother? Stormdancer Set GOAT

Inside lies the Weathered Journal – Avowed’s version of a Twitter expose thread. Turns out Keipo’s been cosplaying as a hero while stealing credit from real MVP Umpara. Show this to Chiko and you’ll get:

Item	Buffs
Stormdancer Armor	+20% Lightning Resist
Gale Pendant	Chain lightning on crits ⚡
Tempest Gauntlets	Melee attacks charge faster

Other Secret Rooms (For Completionists)

1. Flooded Chamber Secret 🌊

2. Opposite giant statue

3. Switch hiding in plain sight on wall diagram

4. Rewards: Gold + rare crafting mats

5. Double Switch Troll Door 🤡

6. Left wooden platform above water

7. Two switches BUT only left one works

8. Contains unique spear that glows underwater 🔱

Open-Ended Moral Dilemma

Here’s the kicker – after exposing Keipo, the game lets you:

• Confront him publicly → Thirdborn gets political chaos

• Blackmail him quietly → Get daily gold "hush money"

• Burn the journal → Keep the lie intact

What would YOU do? Protect the realm’s stability or risk truth bombs? Obsidian really said 『No good choices, only consequences』. 🤯

P.S. Rumor has it there’s a FOURTH secret room triggered by equipping full Stormdancer set near the Leviathan skeleton… but that’s a story for another stream! 👀
