- Moadra secrets are hidden rooms, concealed passages, and optional rewards across Protea VI.
- Scanner bot and X-ray Vision reveal routes invisible to the naked eye.
- Backtracking after new movement upgrades is the core secret-hunting method.
- Dead ends that look unusually wide often hide breakable walls or side rooms.
- 100% exploration may also affect ending context, so clean up before the finale.
How Moadra Secrets Work
Moadra is a dark sci-fi Metroidvania set on the alien planet Protea VI, and like the genre demands, its map is packed with concealed routes. Some secrets are visible but unreachable on your first pass; others are completely invisible until you use the right tools.
The two key discovery systems are the scanner robot and X-ray Vision. The scanner records explored terrain and flags anomalies, while X-ray Vision exposes hidden passages behind walls and surfaces that look solid.
Make it a habit to scan suspicious rooms before leaving them. Hidden areas in Moadra are frequently invisible to the naked eye, so relying on visuals alone means you will walk past secret rooms without ever knowing they existed.
Common secret categories include:
- Hidden rooms behind breakable or false walls
- Vertical shafts reachable only with wall jumps
- Optional chambers holding Protoplasm and upgrade rewards
- Lore fragments tied to the lost Neera heritage
- Shortcuts that connect distant regions of Protea VI
Secret Hunting Tools and Methods
Your ability to find Moadra secrets scales directly with the tools and movement options you have unlocked. Treat every new ability as a key that retroactively opens earlier regions.
Many hidden paths are gated behind abilities you do not have yet. If a ledge, gap, or wall refuses to cooperate, mark it mentally and move on. Breaking your flow against an unreachable route only wastes healing resources.
Scanner Bot
- Records explored terrain
- Flags environmental anomalies
- Best used room by room
X-ray Vision
- Reveals invisible passages
- Exposes false and breakable walls
- Essential for 100% runs
Movement Kit
- Roll, sprint, wall jump
- Unlocks vertical secret routes
- Enables backtrack sweeps
Where to focus your search:
- Dead ends that seem deliberately wide or oddly shaped
- The space above the normal camera line in tall rooms
- Edges and elevations that sit just beyond a standard jump
- Rooms you pass through quickly on the main route
- Areas near research facility entrances, where concealed chambers cluster
Step-by-Step Secret Hunting Route
Follow this loop every time you gain a new ability. It is the same discipline speedrunners and completionists use to sweep Protea VI without missing hidden content.
Every major ability you earn should trigger one backtrack sweep. Secrets in Moadra are designed to be found on return trips, not on your first pass through a region.
Map the Main Route First
Push through the primary passage before branching into optional routes. Note every blocked door, ledge, and suspicious wall as you go so your later sweeps have targets.
Scan Each Room Before Leaving
Deploy the scanner in any room that feels oversized or awkward. Compare the revealed geometry against what you can see; mismatches point to hidden passages.
Check Vertical Space
Inspect both sides of tall rooms and look for platforms above the normal camera line. Wall jumps with deliberate directional input reach heights a single jump cannot.
Backtrack After Each Upgrade
Once you gain a new movement or access ability, return to earlier regions and clear every marked route. Collect visible rewards before pushing into a new major section.
Final Cleanup Before the Ending
Before the final story sequence, run a region-by-region sweep. Completing available exploration beforehand preserves the fullest ending context.
100% Exploration Checklist
Track your secret-hunting progress with this checklist. Cross-reference it with the Steam achievement list to confirm nothing is left behind.
Most exploration objectives in Moadra remain recoverable after progression, but finishing optional discoveries before the final sequence can affect ending context. Prioritize cleanup late in the run.
Moadra Secrets Completion Goals:
- Scan and map every region of Protea VI
- Use X-ray Vision on all suspicious dead ends
- Reach every vertical route with wall jumps

Moadra Secrets FAQ
For boss strategies, upgrade rankings, and story breakdowns, explore the Guides, Bosses, and Upgrades sections of this wiki, or visit the official Moadra page on Steam.
Q: Do I need X-ray Vision to find all Moadra secrets?
For a full completion run, yes. Some hidden paths in Moadra are invisible to the naked eye and only appear when scanned or viewed with X-ray Vision. Movement upgrades alone will not reveal them.
Q: Can I find every secret in one playthrough?
Yes. Most exploration objectives remain recoverable after progression. Return to earlier regions after each new ability and complete a final cleanup sweep before the ending sequence.
Q: Do Moadra secrets affect the story or ending?
Ending context is influenced by how thoroughly you explore Protea VI. A direct route completes the central journey, while thorough exploration preserves additional context from optional areas and hidden objectives.
Q: Are there codes that unlock secret areas in Moadra?
No. Moadra is a single-player paid game with no redemption code system. All secrets are earned through exploration, scanning, movement upgrades, and backtracking.
