We cover that part in our Hellpoint 100% completion/New Game+ guide go back to the Footbridge and look for a part of the wall where you’ll see a beta/demo player’s handprint icon This takes you to a small chamber with a metal grate Go back to the main Footbridge area and look for a stairwell that leads nowhere There’s a switch that you must activate Go to the opposite stairwell that leads to the actual overpass There’s a room with some upgrade machines look to your left and you’ll see some ledges that you can jump on Jump across those ledges and you’ll see another hidden wall The next room has some loot and also an elevator then use the rails to make your way up even higher This takes you to a secret room in the Narrow Corridor area with some loot The ledge will lead to a chamber with several rails leading upwards You’ll do a bit of platforming here so be careful There’s also a lot of loot to pick up You’ll find yourself in a familiar room That’s because we made it back to the start of Hellpoint‘s Port Issoudun area The final secret in Port Issoudun will take you a bit longer to find in your journey in Hellpoint That’s because it’s also related to the Black Hole Hour mechanic and the Prodigal Spawn’s sidequest You can refer to these guides if you need more help Hellpoint is available via Steam.
