Crushing Heresy drops you into a Chaos-infested industrial complex packed with crushing conveyor belts, spinning cogs, flame jets, and locked doors. Five collectibles are scattered across it: four Secrets and one Purity Seal. Nearly all of them sit off the main objective path and need an unusual move to reach, so it is easy to walk past every one of them on a first run.
Quick answer: Collect all five by moving against the first piston conveyor, dropping into the hole by the lift, crossing the wires above the cogs, checking the last gap on the right in the flame hall, and dropping right off the purple door walkway.

Your first Secret sits on the route toward the red key, on a conveyor belt lined with overhead crushers and fire hazards. The catch is that the belt pushes you one way while the pickup is the other way.

The pistons keep firing while you move against the belt. If you fall off, you have to climb back and start the run across it again.
Secret 2/4: Dragonfire Boltgun magazine under the lift
Shortly after the piston belts, still heading for the red key, you reach a room with a lift in the corner. There is a hidden drop point right next to it.

It is easy to miss this hole while fighting the enemies in the room. If you ride the lift up first, getting back down to the Secret is awkward.
Purity Seal: Above the spinning cogs
The level’s only Purity Seal is in the chamber filled with giant rotating cogs, reached through the red door marked with the Sigma [Σ] symbol. Getting it means some platforming above the machinery.

This is the only Purity Seal on Crushing Heresy, and it counts toward collecting every Purity Seal in the game. If you cannot spot the climb, scan the left wall of the cog area carefully.
Secret 3/4: Munitions Boon in the flamethrower hall
After the cog chamber you reach a corridor lined with flame jets and gaps along the sides. The Secret hides in one of those gaps.

Do not blow past this gap while clearing the enemies patrolling the corridor. Pushing ahead means doubling back through the flames.
Secret 4/4: Emperor’s Visage past the purple door
The final pickup sits just outside the purple door marked with the Phi [Φ] symbol. It is only a few steps from the entrance, but you have to look down to find it.


Picking it up triggers “SECRET DISCOVERED” and “EMPEROR’S VISAGE! HIS LIGHT SHINES UPON YOU!”, awards +100 Faith, and completes the set at 4/4.
Do not sprint down the main path after the door opens. The ledge is right beside the entrance, and it is simple to overshoot.
Confirming you cleared the level
You have everything when the level tally reads Secrets 4/4 and Seal 1/1. Each Secret fires its own “SECRET DISCOVERED” banner, the gear-room pickup shows “YOU DISCOVERED A PURITY SEAL!”, and the counters on the map screen update as you collect each one. With the Machine Spirit, Dragonfire Boltgun magazine, Purity Seal, Munitions Boon, and Emperor’s Visage all in hand, Crushing Heresy is fully cleared and you can push on through the facility.
