Secret Messages in The Chasm
Last updated 2026-01-12
Secret Messages in The Chasm (unofficial name) is a Hidden Exploration Objective located in The Chasm: Underground Mines. It consists of finding nine purple rune phrases scattered throughout the underground mines. These phrases can be interacted with with the prompt "observe," which will make the message permanently disappear and have it registered as found. Finding all nine will grant the Wonders of the World achievement The Nine-Word Rumor.
The messages disappear while the player has the energized Lumenstone Adjuvant equipped in their proximity. It's possible to run at the messages, mashing the interact key rapidly, to - if you're lucky - interact with the message and have it become "observed," but it's far simpler to just have your Adjuvant unequipped or drained of energy.

Trivia
- The secret messages are written in the Latin-Based Language. For deciphered text and translations, see Latin-Based Language/Texts § The Chasm.

- Southeastern bell: Pivs Egill "Pious Egill" Vivos voco "I call the living"
