      some people in the uk think they know everything about the uk without moving outside thier own head, having worked for a delivery company in the uk in a 60mile radius area i have had 6+ ways of pronouncing the word shire, and never once heard it said "sheer" but with people from worcestershire calling it woostershire it doesnt surprise me how some people in the country says it, and with general interraction with people in general on the internet that some critic thinks they know better than the majority of the country

      Idc what psy says. If it's "Sheer" then it would've been spelt whimsyshear or whimsysheer... Shire is shire. Tolkien would have something to say about it too I think. Especially since he was also English.... I'm with ya man! It hurts my ears to hear them full on ignore English....

    I found both the Minecraft area in Borderlands 2 and the Mario level in Dying Light completely by accident, through natural exploration. Dying Light also had a Plants vs Zombies level that would've fit this list perfectly. Sidenote, Symphony of the Night's entry, while cool, isn't technically a secret level. It's the canonical second half of the game.

    I can’t think I’ve heard too many Brits, myself included, who pronounce ‘…shire’ as a fully-pronounced dual-syllabic ‘shear’ so much as a ‘shuh’ or ‘sh’ya’. I guess it depends where you’re from across these isles.
    But if you’re a hobbit or a big ‘oss, ‘Shire’ with a capital S is still ‘Shire’ rhyming with fire, cryer, tyre (that’s how it’s spelt here my global friends!). As such, if you put a hyphen in, pronouncing it as it’s spelt seems like fair game. Maybe

      For some of us, we forget how old SotN actually is now. I think it's easy to forget that nowadays, complex level design, environmental storytelling and replaying games to unlock additional/true endings are the norm, and these games are designed with the understanding and expectation of being explored and discussed in online threads or Let's-Play videos. But back then, gamers didn't have trophy/achievement lists that hinted at or directed them to unlock levels through repeat play-through's, no Reddit threads or UA-cam, etc. If a game could be played through to the credits, but still have additional endings to unlock or discover, they were considered "secret". It's also fair to say that Symphony of The Night, (along with Metroid), established that trend that is common today, while most games were straightforward. (Hence.. Metroidvania)

    The Resourceful Rat's Lair in Enter the Gungeon.
    During the game, any items you leave on the ground will eventually be stolen by the Resourceful Rat, leaving behind a letter to taunt you. To get into the lair, you need to buy the key in the second level for a very high cost. Then find the entrance in level 3. There you need to find its way through the labyrinth, which is only possible if you find the clues you need to collect over several playthroughs. Then you need to fight the probably hardest boss in the game, even harder than secret final boss, the Lich, with 2 regular phases and a third phase that is basically Punch Out.
    It is incredibly hard, but the rewards are worth it.

    they had leftover space on the cartridge for Star Fox so they added that secret level late in development that's why there's no way out of there. they had to use up all the space on the cartridge because it was considered a waste if they didn't. at least that's what i remember hearing about it anyway.
