It's always nice to find hidden goodies that aren't in the guide. :)

Church of Fause, downstairs-Periodically a character will show up and award your players with a boost. So far I've come across a slime, and a robot. Might be worth checking this basement out each time you complete and return from an area.

Statue of the Hero, Faust-Visit the statue each time you complete and return from an area for a potential boost. (@kimo)

Visit the Temple of the Void each time you return to Faust with a recruited god/goddess to spawn another Eye of the Void. You can get at least 3 more after the original.

Metal Fortress-Basement, Level -1, accessed by the stairs in the left lower corner of Level 1- Just above the raised area with a switch are 4 statues. There are 3 braziers to the side of 3 of these statues. One statue is missing a brazier. Walk up the side of that statue where the brazier should be and your party members will instantly be blessed with +1 Level. It might be worth waiting until you have Kraken in your party before doing so, as you'll probably be returning here anyway to gain the boosts of the 2 boulders in this area.

Metal Fortress, Level 2-Follow the signs and walk the path. Just sayin'.....
Unfortunately, it seems to be only a temporary boost.

Metal Fortress - There is a set of stairs leading to the basement (lv-1) that's not mentioned in the guide. Lots of goodies there (@kimo) and also a portal the the witch's house (@Lis) [Reach this area from the stairs in the upper area of level 1 just after you cross from the left map to the right map. Make sure you have the Orb of Truth equipped or you won't be able to see the portal. Be sure to grab the Gabura doll from the table.]

Metal Fortress-Throne Power Room-return and inspect throne once to find gold, second to find an azure pearl.

Crock'pond-Return to Crock'pond and visit the harpy after defeating the mushrooms and she'll reward Luke with +1 AGI and a skill boost.

Drone-In the NE building there is a piano downstairs and a despondent man directly above on the main floor. He mostly is annoyed with the music coming from the piano below, but there is one tune that will make him cheerful, at least for the moment, and he'll gift you a Mutical Box.

Zarmazari Breach - Again, you need to have the Orb of Truth equipped to see the portal

Cosmic Plane-There are invisible paths to chests, looks like all are attainable, none are teasers.

The Core-Metal pliers -looking for how/why it's used. Indy says it has a definite use

Kranko-Periodically Kranko appears, seeking to destroy Luke and his party. Indy says there's a definite significance to this character. Looking for more info.

Yep, standard tasks of checking every rock, nook, and cranny. Lots of hidden stuff to be found where you don't expect it.

Glad to hear!
Not wanting to throw praise at my own face, but the guide for NOTS is truly great (all sidequests, secret rooms and relics whooosh), and leaves little room for extra secrets. So I'm happy some can still be found!

Shhhhh... +::shhhh Don't tell Indy...
Spoiler: show
Those twin dragons in the Metal Fortress respawn giving you 5000+ exp and 2000 gold each time. Just keep defeating, exiting and reentering to your heart's content. I am still playing version 2, so this may not be the case in version 3. If you tell Indy and he hasn't fixed it yet, he WILL fix it, so mum's the word, okay? +::biggrin

Of course this can only be exploited during the time Kraken enters your party and you exit the fortress. Unless there's a way to reenter?

@Lady JJ
Strangely what you reported should have been working properly. There's definitely a local switch preventing the dragon from re-appearing. I guess this program is stupid. I've added an extra variable to hopefully prevent this glitch from happening. You'll let me know! (uploading shortly).

Yeah, I definitely exploited that little glitch. :) But now it's time to move on.

Church of Faust, downstairs, after recruiting Kraken, I found a slime downstairs that awarded all party members +21 MMP. I did a search in the guide, but don't see, so another hidden goody. +::YAY

Did you find the Royal? Egg (+1 Lvl) in the smaller dead end basement section in the Metal Shrine? That area is loaded with goodies and there is no map.

I have 2 Royal Eggs. Not sure where I got them. Didn't find a portal to the Witch's House, though. Good find, Lis. :) Something to look forward to next playthrough.

@Lis
Great job! I can't believe I missed something in that room.

@LadyJJ
DON"T use those eggs. You'll find an EggBomb soon that
Spoiler: show
spreads out all the egg bonuses to everyone in the party

Nope, haven't used them. Figured I'd hold onto them until my levels got a lot higher.

A real hidden goodie I forgot about was talking to the past Champion statue located in the pond in Faust everytime I returned. I got a boost every time.

There is a Witche House entry that appears in the Breach. It appears as a glowing arched portal in the north wall of the map just before the final map with all those dark chasms. I have no idea if it is the same place (a second chance?) as in the previous dungeon. I also have no idea what I did to activate it. It was not there when I first entered the map. Maybe you have to kill a bunch of baddies?

I found the following stuff there when searching around.

2@ Golden Crumb, 3@ Scroll of Virtuosity, Golden Pearl, Lasercage, Opaline Pearl
