Finding the Hidden Route
There is a hidden route at the start of Episode 1, Chapter 2, Mission 1. Look between the two trees along the mountainside at the south end of the starting area to earn the “Hidden Route Found” GJ award.
Crossing the red line at the end of the hidden route will end this mission and usher you to an optional area. Though this area is optional in the sense that you can skip it and still complete the chapter, you must complete the area to unlock the achievement or trophy awarded for completing the campaign on your chosen difficulty level. If you wish to unlock the achievements or trophies awarded for completing the game on a certain difficulty level, don't pass this area by when playing through Episode 1 on a new difficulty level.
Aside from achievements/trophies, this optional area contains a VS you can take with you to the sub-boss battle in Mission 2. Having a VS for this sub-boss will make the fight significantly easier, especially if you're playing solo.
