Main article: Submachine 9: The Temple walkthrough#Secrets

In Submachine 9, there are five secrets that take the shape of small dark yellow spheres.

After the game is finished, there is an option where the player can continue playing. In the eighth layer, there is a secret area containing a karma portal to this location, that can be accessed through the red section of the pyramid.

The secrets can be put (in an ascending order) into four of Shiva's hands and one on his crown. Each placed secret opens up a green karma portal where the player can find each unlockable in the one-room locations described above.
