There are secret barrels hidden in secret places (big surprise) all throughout the world of Gaya. These slightly blue barrels are often quite hard to find, but contain priceless monographs that increase the rarity and/or quantity of drops for the corresponding area when they are carried on your Hero specifically as they won't work in the Spirit of Gaya's inventory.
Locations[]
There are 10 barrels in total, 1 for each primary region in Gaya, except Elysium. While some of these elusive barrels are hidden in plain sight, others will require rotating the camera to see. Rotating your camera can be achieved by holding the "Delete" or "Insert" key.
Finding all the secret barrels can be fun, but if you find yourself getting frustrated, read on.
