When stepping out of the elevator building at the very beginning of the game (“01 Hello World”) disturb the robots. Just throw a box or the screwdriver down to the robots.
Electrify water with an electric arrow and hurt an enemy. Best way to do this is on your way back to the entrance in the stealth level “07 Into the Dark”. The complete floor under the second pair of robots is covered with water. Shoot an electric arrow into the water and the robots get hurt.
Hurt or kill an enemy with a Radiance Mine. You will find the first Radiance Mines in level “06 The Device”. Throw the mines onto the floor before pressing the button to fight the second wave of enemies. Shoot the mine with an arrow when a robot is close to it. Later in the game you can also buy Radiance Mines at the vending machines.

Secrets
There are three kinds of secrets:
- Lore texts (34)
- Collectibles (16)
- Hidden Radiance locations
Since some levels are in the same area (e.g. The Shifted World) you have the possibility to find the lore texts on both levels. Therefore, you often already have found secrets even if you play a level for the first time. There are even some secrets which can only be found by returning to the same level again (e.g. after receiving a higher security access card during the game).
