Thanks for your reply. I guess my next question is, if you don't find all the secret rooms is the game not considered completed? I thought that the secret rooms were optional, therefore they would not count in regard to showing that you have finished the game.
The game is considered completed (conquered) if you've gotten to the end.
It's considered to be Mastered if you've gotten to the end *and* done all the secret rooms. This is semi-important in some cases. Many holds include a Master Wall, which can only be passed if you've mastered the hold, there's frequently bonus content behind there. JtRH and TCB are examples of this.
Also, if you look at the hold editor, you'll see that there's four classes of editability. Some architects let anyone edit their hold, some only open it to those who've conquered the hold. And some only open it to those who've mastered the hold. And some don't let it open to anyone.
So to sum up, no, the secret rooms are not required to complete a hold. But if you *do* complete them, there's often bonus optional content to access.
