EDIT: Found it... or at least, the door to it. Can't open it, anyone got a crowbar?

In the room with the first lamp thingie you frobbed to open the first door, go to the big square relief left of the statue and look up. You may need to climb onto the ledge of the relief or jump to make it highlight.

I know it was asked before, but I'm stuck for good... I'm to find Drymian Codex, but hell if I know where to go now... Explored whole sewers section by now and found nothing... I was in control room again (where cutscene was played) and there's nothing but closed metal door. Where precisely is location I could progress mission from?

If you've seen the cutscene by reading Thorn's journal, go back to where you first entered the sewers where the large waterfall is. To the west is a side tunnel which ends in a very small waterfall into the main sewer. Go down there, to the left, and work your way around the pipes and you should come to a portcullis behind which are large plants growing. This is where the cutscene took place. If that portcullis is still closed after the cutscene, then that's a bug and you're stuck. Email me your save game (email address in my profile) and I'll get you moving again.

Thanks for the help guys, those were some devious secrets.

I'd also like to thank my assistant, Mr. Huge Rock, for helping me find the doors to the last secrets.

it was fun translating the codex but playing it is awesome experience, even if i played it like 4th time now.

And even if i know this fm really good. I am not satisfied :(
i missed one secret and have no idea where to look
ok maybe it has something to do with St. aldan skull ??

The secret list
1. old power generator leading to crayman
2. sealed crypt leading to St Aldan shield
3. crypt the Lucy hideout
4. crypt quintus tomb
5. Cpt. Standish quaters no sound of secret found
6. guest quaters no sound of secret found
7. library no sound of secret found
8. kitchen
9. High Priest quaters
10. Drymian lost temple

I dont know where to look for the last one
no sound of secret found for three places so i think these locations are not counted as secrets

There are 8 in total - 2 are in the temple. You're correct on 1. 2. 3. 6. 8. and 9.

Backtrack to find what that opened. There is also a switch in the ladder and pool room.

Corrected. :D

The other ones you listed, Tom, that don't display the found secret message, don't count as secrets. We decided to observe the rule that finding anything related to the main quest or an objective should not count as a secret. Secrets should be optional, bonus things that add to the fun but aren't required. Technically we broke that rule once, on Expert, since the Dismas scroll is found in Lucy's hideout. But generally we held to it.

Note also that the number of secrets varies by difficulty. The Aldan's Shield area, for example, is only there on Expert. As I recall, there are 6 secrets on Normal, 7 on Hard, and 8 on Expert.
