How to unlock the It’s a Secret... achievement in Monster Train - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires that you find a special artifact which can only be found by hitting a specific random Concealed Cavern event and then making some specific choices. You are looking for "the remains of Armageddon" which lets you choose between a sword, shield, or skull. Pick any of the 3 but DO NOT play them as they purge themselves. After a few levels you will get stopped right before the boss and given the flower artifact which changes the spell you chose to consume rather than purge.

Relying on a random event isn't why you came here, so we'll be using a seeded run to make this easier!

From the main menu, select:

- Challenges
- Community Challenges - Play
- In the Join Challenge section type in one of the below depending on if you own the Divinity DLC, as having it changes the seeds:

NON-DLC SEED: Use InvolvedSmartQueries - Credit to HeyMrBassman for noticing this seed gives the proper events and provind this info: Armageddon occurs on ring 3 and you’re rewarded by ring 5.

LAST DIVINITY DLC SEED: Use SevenFallingBetween - Credit to Eurydace for finding this one.

Seriously, this community is awesome - thanks everyone for helping get this working for others!

If you happen to make a mistake you can retry the run using the above seed(s) as much as you need.

Welp, I’ve tried AnywayProvideAspect three times now. Everything matches up like SolidToph describes, but the cavern has the fissure event where you copy a card. I don’t own the DLC. If I find a seed with the Armageddon event, I’ll post it here.

EDIT: I knew I’d seen this somewhere before. The seed is InvolvedSmartQueries, as found by MagicRealism in a comment under the solution for “How to Deckbuilder” by Jorax. Armageddon occurs on ring 3 and you’re rewarded by ring 5. See

Well shoot, I have the DLC so didn't even think of that. Updating the solution and continuing the hunt for a non-DLC seed. Thanks for the note!

On Xbox series x I have found a seed that works.

AnywayProvideAspect

I have used this seed twice and got the event both times from the first cavern

I don't have the dlc installed so this should work for those without it

Not sure if paths taken effect rng for cavern events so I will include the route I took both times

Before 1st fight took superfood and token of traitor

Clear first fight with trial on. Took no rewards.

Took left path and picked up Crucible warden from banner. Nothing else.

2nd fight cleared with trial on

Took right path. Event should be in the cavern at the bottom. Don't know if taking left path here affects the event.

I chose (mostly) different options to SolidToph - took rewards after 1st fight, took right path and did random stuff, didn't have trial on for 2nd battle, and then took right path - and can confirm that the event played out the same and the achievement unlocked.

This game just can't stay stable with its seeds it seems. I've added your note above and will come back through and clean up these achievement guides at some point :).

I've cleaned up the solution by removing old/bad seeds, thanks again for providing updates as these change. Fingers crossed this will stay accurate for a while now toast

Is the criteria for the achievement simply: find the flower artefact at the cavern?

Because I've just used InvolvedSmartQueries and acquired the flower, didn't get the achievement, referred to the logbook and the artefact is there... So is the achievement bugged for me? is there a solution? :/

TA shows you unlocked the achievement on 16 Sep 2021. Perhaps you got it on accident and just hadn't noticed? The event isn't particularly rare, so getting in through normal play wouldn't be surprising.

10/06/22, and InvolvedSmartQueries still works perfectly for this.

If you finish the run with the "InvolvedSmartQueries" challenge, you will also earn the "On Your Own" achievement as the custom challenge removes your champion.

Still works. Got the achievements for not using a champion and defeating Seraph before his combat phase too.

Mmm.. I’ve tried SevenFallingBetween a couple of times now and no dice. Has the seed changed following an update?

One of the caverns events is Armageddon Battlefield, which gives you a choice between a shield, sword, or skull. All three have purge effects. Take one and hold on to it without playing it. Eventually an event will trigger that gives you the Hope for Peace (flower) artifact that turns purge cards into consume cards. The achievement will unlock after taking the artifact.
