Clear every room on the levelDo this by defeating all the hostiles in every room
- You do not have to enter the store to clear the whole level. The store is the room with a lock
- You do not have to defeat the boss (room with a skull)

Look for a "hole" on the level that is surrounded by 3-4 other roomsThis "hole" looks like a room, and it is.
- It may not always be surrounded by 3-4 rooms. It could be adjacent to 1-2 rooms, which is not as common, but is possible
- The secret room must be accessible by all of the rooms connected to it. The spot where the door should be will not be blocked by a rock, or a hole on the ground

Place a bomb where the door should bePlace a bomb with “E”. The door is always in the middle of the room. unless the room is a large room.
- In that case, divide the room in half, and place the bomb in the middle of that half
