14 years after releasing Serious Sam, it’s deepest secret is finally out! And that is how to beat the Sacred Yards without killing an enemy. Sounds serious, right!?!

Sacred Yards is one of two hidden levels in the original game. Usually you would need to blast hundreds of enemies in order to pass the level but this time CEO and lead designer Roman Ribaric had something else on his mind. The level has a simple layout so he wasn’t sure if it is good enough for the main game but still he and the team decided to kept it as a secret one.

So now, 14 years later, the secret is finally revealed.

You are reading this on your own responsibility! Escapist found some awesome Easter eggs on their journey through Gehenna. Here they are:

The long-awaited expansion to our critically acclaimed The Talos Principle hit the ‘shelves’ today (if that’s the expression still used these days?). Road to Gehenna puts you in the shoes of Uriel, Elohim’s most beloved messenger, tasked with a mission to enter Gehenna and free souls trapped in this mysterious place. Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes once again return as screenwriting duo, keen to show players an entirely different side of Elohim’s world through a journey to Gehenna, hidden part of simulation filled with new characters and a new society with its own history and philosophy.

Road to Gehenna is available on Steam for 10% off the standard price during the first week of launch. To sweeten things up, The Talos Principle is the featured Steam Weekend Deal till 27th with a 66% off discount, which makes this a perfect combo for hot summer days! 😉

Enjoy discovering wonders of Gehenna, and may the words be with you!
