West of the Mountain
West of the mountain and the mines is a giant tree and a tunnel full of water beneath it. You can spend a decent amount of time draining the water out from under the tree and get through it. There, you'll find a scroll which is generally useless. Scaling the tree, you'll find an egg in a nest on a branch, staying in the nest for an extended period of time will summon acid spitting, flying eyes that can easily kill you.
Above the Mountain
There are many ways to get above the mountain. The easiest way is to go through the mines and head east until you find a point where you can blast your way through with a bomb, or where there is a hole you can exit through. Another way is to get a Polymorphine or Chaotic Polymorphine flask and use it to become a flying sheep, this is the most useful way. You can also restart until you have a high enough mound of dirt in front of the mines entrance (very low chance).
From there, the mountain's peak is very low and covered in snow, above it is a flying island. There is no way to get to the flying island without having first gone into the mines or headed east and gotten lucky, see below. If you have the Polymorphine or Chaotic Polymorphine, you can turn into a sheep again and fly up and around the island, using the default wand to blast your way down to the orb and scroll there. If you have gone through a Portal Deeper and have the "Strong Levitation" perk or "Low Gravity" perk, you can scale back up from the East, under the super dense rock area (and its hidden area) from the Frozen Depths cavern. The altar on this flying island can be used to turn scrolls into items (I think just gold at this moment).
East of the Mountain
There is a small ocean (more of a lake) east of the mountain after some more grasslands. Beyond this, you'll find the desert which stretches on for quite a while and has some interesting scenery, but little to interact with. If you go further, you'll find the Pyramid, which to get inside of you'll need a bomb, chainsaw, or drill spell and have to tunnel your way through the seal (you may be able to tunnel straight through the Pyramid's material, but I haven't gotten a drill spell to try it yet). On top of the pyramid is an orb and a scroll. Inside the pyramid are intensely powerful enemies from later areas of the game that can easily drop your health to 0.

The End of the World, East
If you continue on past the pyramid, you'll come to a sheer cliff, made out of weird shapes which give an easy foothold to climb its face. Upon reaching the top, you're greeted with the message, "Entered ???" and nothing else. At that point, if you explore further into the dark of this area, you'll find another sheer face like the one you just scaled and if you scale this, you can fly onto a rhombus of brickwork and stone in the center. If you're good at kick, you can blow a hole into the stone top and drop another 1 (or 2) onto it to get inside. Otherwise, acid trail, acid, drill, or chainsaw can get you inside with a little work. It's almost not worth it as only a perk is held within.

The Lava Lake, The Mines
If you enter the mines and head east, you'll eventually find super dense rock and if you keep going down until you reach the level of depth at which there are the portals deeper, you'll find a hill that leads to a scroll talking about medicine which "cures all ills" next to a lava lake. It's a little on the nose. However, if you pull out your water flask and use right click to build yourself a bridge across, you can find a massive gorge and more super dense stone. Flying across this gorge will take you to a secret room with a scroll and an orb. If you drop down the gorge and head west, you'll find yourself in the Frozen Depths biome. It is not recommended that you challenge the Frozen Depths with default wands, so it's best to traverse the mines and caverns below it and use this route to go back to the surface when you want to.

The Vault
At a certain point in one of my runs, a portal deeper's brickwork had a hole next to it, which I thought was a glitch. When exploring deeper, however, I found myself with the message "Entered The Vault" and surrounded by metal and machines and powerful enemies. However, there were powerful spells and wands (3 rows of spells initial to one wand I found) to match. I don't know if this is true underneath every portal deeper, but if you happen to have an acid trail spell or a drill spell, searching underneath a portal deeper may hold great treasures for your run, granted you don't die while in the vault.

Conclusion, For Now
I heard that there was an orb on top of the tree, and another secret under the lava of the lava lake, but I haven't gotten a chance to confirm or deny that these exist. For now, this is all of the secrets I've documented. In my next update, I'll go to the top of the tree, under the lava lake, around the
eastern edge of the world and add pictures. This was my first guide and I hope you find something useful from it.

Do NOT go to the orb behind Lava Lake if you do not Have some SIX-TIER Wands OR you find something TERRIBLE. What? Sauvojen Tuntija.

Fun fact: if you dig into the tree from the top down you can eventually find a kantelle (or however you spell. I'm stupid and cant english these days) and some spells that are notes so you can make a song!

You may want to update this. It is very outdated and The Vault isn't even a secret.

What about the spot at the very far left side of the map immediately after spawning? The cave is filled with water and if you manage to get to the end of the cave, you get the Secretorum Hermetis.

The Vault isn't a secret area, once you go through Mines, Coal Pits, Snowy Depths, Hiisi Base (Frozen Vault) and Underground Jungle in that order, you arrive at the Vault. I reached it twice before and never got further.

@Electronic_Bunny you don't actually have to get rid of the lava if you have a mining spell such as luminous beam or black hole that can cut through the dense rock. If you scale down/up the side wall of the gorge you can hear where the orb is located through the wall (it makes a loud hum) and dig through to its non-lava filled chamber in a few seconds.

Don't forget the cloudy hell area way above the map. Almost impossible to get to without a teleport wand

Also, to the west, beyond the tree, there is a bridge which you can break with powerful spells. If you go down from there, you get into the Frozen Vault, which has insanely powerful enemies (The same as the normal Vault)

An easy way to get to the orb under the lava lake is to shoot a black hole to the left a little ways down the chasm, where you can hear the orb.
