I just completed The Second Sky, got to the good ending. I found the game pretty difficult, and I don't think I want to try for 100% completion of secret rooms, but I think I might like to try for all the RCS stamps, key cards, and Arky rooms.

Would it be an outrageous violation of forum etiquette to ask for the locations of all RCS stamps, key cards, and Arky rooms?

Also, does anyone have any idea why the challenges page doesn't list me as having achieved the Second Sky challenge? I'm pretty sure I was logged into CaravelNet when I did this.

The demo verification "spider" on the server is currently not running while the next engine update is in public beta. This spider also verifies challenges, so until its running again your demo will be sitting in the verification queue.

If you ever want to know if the spider is down in future, visit the high scores page and scroll down to see the number of unverified demos. It'll be a very small number or 0 if it's working.

There are already separate topics in General with this information, so it does no harm (and it's more convenient) to gather it all in one place.

RCS stamps
Five are rewards for completing optional levels:The other three are found in secret rooms:

Rooted Hub keycards

Arky rooms

Many thanks! It was annoying not even remembering where I had gotten the RCS stamps I already had. This will help a lot.

Also, is it possible to go *back* and get one that you missed earlier?

I have not succeeded in finding any of the quoted levels above:

On Dawdling River
Harder Way
Hardest Way
Braxian Below
Frozen Wood

Two of the Arky rooms are listed in levels I haven't yet reached (Ore Refinery, Explosives Storage - the former is on the "help" drop-down, the latter isn't). I have five of the others but am not sure where I missed the sixth...

At what point in the game do any of the above become accessible, and have I missed something or what?

Hardest Way requires completing Harder Way. The others should all become accessible once you have access to the RCS (iirc, after Rapid Fortifications). They should all appear as nodes on the map.

None of the collectables are in the permanently missable levels (Upside-down Mine Entrance through Experiment of Ages).

Yes. Based on your recent post about "The Living Walls" it sounds as though you're getting close to the point in the game where a lot of stuff opens up. Pretty soon you will be able to go back and visit most older levels. Every form of collectable in the game is in a level that you'll be able to get back to at that point without having to resort to restoring an old save.
