Secret Missions are like challenge missions where you are given various tasks that need to be completed before the timer runs out. Some missions can be made easier with the help of unlocked skills. We will mention and highlight what skill will work best in a certain Secret Mission.
To start off, the first thing you need to know about Secret Missions is that they are indicated by big red patterns on some walls that lead you to the entrance of the secret mission. when you see one of those, you will find a red glowing dot nearby always. Interacting with the red dot will start the Secret Mission.
Secret Missions can be played anytime by selecting a chapter that they are contained in. you can always come back to try them if you fail to complete the first time. Successfully completing each Secret Mission will reward you with a Blue Orb Fragment.
