Six secret areas can be found in as you explore different Chapters, but you have to complete different tasks to enter these hidden locations.

Doing this will put you in a very small region with a sudden boss fight against Elder Jinchi in , a sage similar to other optional enemies you may have seen during this Chapter.
Defeat Elder Jinchi for some rare rewards, including the Fireproof Mantle , your first vessel that
