Secret Items and Tips
New Game+, secret SMG, Void armor, boss alternate rewards and trait unlocks.
1.New Game+ Mode
After beating the story and the final boss, return to Ward 13 and activate the Red Stone. You can increase difficulty and re-roll the world; elite enemies and Lumenite Crystals drop more often.
2.Secret SMG and Elder Knowledge Trait
Explore the hidden rooms around Ward 13: after your first teleport, grab the keycard on the table. On floor B2 find a Tome Of Knowledge; the second door has the Tape Recorder for the Elder Knowledge trait (XP bonus); the third door has the fuse. On B3 put the fuse in the box, grab the Ward 13 Master Key through the fan, then use the Master Key on the locked door in the red room to get the SMG.
3.Secret Amulet (Leto's Amulet)
In the first Sewers dungeon on Earth, find the "Only the Penitent Man Shall Pass" message → crouch to pass the illusory wall → Leto's Amulet (lowers Armor Encumbrance 40%, Stamina Cost 10%).
4.Void Armor
In Rhom find the Monolyth building; the 10 symbols on the wall are the puzzle solution. Step on the symbols in the correct order; when the panel sinks, go down and buy the Void armor (gives a damage buff whenever you take damage).
5.Boss Alternate Rewards (bonus weapons)
