Secret End Level
To access the secret end level, you must have:
  • All 40 pearls (one per main level).
  • All 7 pentagram (from main & secret levels).

Once you have both of these, when you press the "Secret Rooms" button you will be teleported to the secret end level.

Completing the level will give you the SECRET END LEVEL achievement.

I completed the secret end level last, after the main levels and secret levels. This also awarded me the GAME COMPLETE!!! achievement.
Pentagram Locations
There are 7 Pentagrams in the game. To find them, you have to perform an action to unlock them (when the levels starts they are hidden). This is done by destroying blocks.
To find all the secrets, you will be wall-humping ans shooting every block in any case. The Pentagrams do not always spawn in the same place as the trigger to unlock them.

The 7 Pentagrams can be found on the following levels:
  • Level 24
  • Secret Level 17
  • Secret Level 21
  • Secret Level 22
  • Secret Level 23
  • Secret Level 24
  • Secret Level 25
Secret Locations (Levels 1 - 40)
This section shows how many secrets are available on each level. Finding secrets is easy (AFTER you have immunity) - as most of them are activated by shooting walls. From memory, the "Wall" secrets are always in the square bricks, not the half-sized rectangle bricks.

Hints have been added to help you know when you find the secret (usually at least a sound will play).

This section shows how many secrets are available on each secret room. Finding secrets is easy (AFTER you have immunity) - as most of them are activated by shooting walls. From memory, the "Wall" secrets are always in the square bricks, not the half-sized rectangle bricks.

Hints have been added to help you know when you find the secret (usually at least a sound will play).

Note: to play the Secret Rooms you need to have 40 Pearls. Pearls are available through the levels 1-40 (one per room, and only once).

Game Breaking Bugs
Here is the bad news: this game has a few major bugs - and I don't mean the font.

Level Select Screen
  • Using the Level Select screen resets your Secret & Pentagram progress to 0.
  • Level 32 contains 3 level skips (secrets), so you have to use the Level Select screen to get them all.
The way I got around this was:
  1. Backup you game save directory constantly; located at (not joking):
    %APPDATA%\Local\ShadeSilverPureNew2024ImprovedReleaseOnePearlResolvedStoryResolvedWAINITOFFICIAL
  2. Choose the level you want to play on the Level Select screen.
  3. Immediately after the level loads, quit the game. That's what the ESC key is for!
  4. Reload the game and select Continue.
Following this method should keep your Secret and Pentagram count (at least for version 1.0.0.0).

Secret #70
  • Secret #70 does not exist in the game world.
  • The total number of collectable secrets is 74/75.
  • The SECRET'S FINDER achievement is unlocked when your Secret Count is 75, not when each secret has been found.
There are a few secrets that are duplicated throughput the game (most likely unintentionally). For example, Secret #7 appears on both Levels 4 and Level 10. If you want to get 75/75 secrets, you can:
  1. Backup your save directory (see above),
  2. Select Level 10 and quit the game (see above).
  3. Delete the file named:
    SaveFoundOnceSecret7.sav
  4. Continue the game and collect Secret #7 on Level 10. This will re-register Secret #7 being collected (not Secret #70) but it will increase your total Secret Count by 1, giving you 75/75 secrets.
That's the best advice I have.

Side Note
I am not the developer of this game.
I am not a fan of this game.
I've used user created Steam Guides many times over the years, and am giving back to the community by sharing the discoveries that I have made about this game, to help other gamers.
