If you’ve played through the game, then you’ve probably come across these peculiar gray/green canisters known as "Dr. Krieger’s Secret Phials". As some of these are very hard to find, I reckon many of you might be interested in a walkthrough. Most of these secrets aren't actually hidden in completely impossible places, but the problem is that if you don’t know where to look, you can waste a lot of time combing every inch of grass on the map to find them (which I did, thank you).

I’m really a sucker for this kind of stuff, so I applaud Ubisoft’s efforts to make the game a little more interesting for a fanatic like myself. However at the same time, they also bungled it (again!) and it’s obvious not a whole lot of thought went into it. The problem is that there is no way in the game to keep track of the secrets you’ve found, unless by finding one. Maybe your kid brother discovered five of them yesterday and you don’t know about it, and he himself can’t remember. If you forgot, you can spend ages looking for something that isn’t there anymore. And once you’ve found one, it’s gone forever. Whether you die, start a new game or quit the map right there.

If a patch will be released at all (that will fix MP issues, aiming sensitivity and minor bugs first and foremost), for the love of God Ubisoft: include a way to keep a tally of secrets in each level.

So anyway, on to the walkthrough part. Almost all of these secrets I found myself. Of some, I simply forgot their location. Others I never found at all. Thanks to the guys at Xbox.com for helping me out with the gaps!


***SPOILERS AHEAD***


TRAINING LEVEL

• None. No secrets to be found. Breathe out.
  

BEACH

• At the very start of the map, once you crawl ashore, follow the beach toward the first small encampment. Somewhere along the way to your left, there should be some climbable vines hidden between the bushes. This leads to a long ledge with the first secret on it.
  
• After you've reached the first heli-pad, choose the left path to reach Crowe's second heli-pad. This is the long route. Follow it until the first waterfall, climb up and stay on that path until you reach a place overlooking a larger waterfall and three guards on the shore (you can push that treelog down to crush them.). The second secret is hidden somewhere along that large waterfall. It's easy to find.
  
• Now follow the river to a junction, and take the right path. Now you're actually going into the opposite direction of where you came, if you took the right path at the heli-pad earlier. At one point along this route you'll see a very large stone arch over the river. The third secret is on top of it. You'll find a way to reach it.
  
• The fourth secret is hidden somewhere in the camp where you first pick up a jeep (Crowe's second heli-pad). Clear the area of enemies and walk toward the hangar with your jeep. Another jeep with enemies will come riding toward you. Kill everyone and follow the trail from which the enemy jeep came. You'll find a parking lot with a truck (not drive-able unfortunately :| ), another jeep, and eight barrels behind that truck. The fourth secret is behind those eight barrels.
  
• The fifth secret lies at the very end of the map. While you're driving towards the end, Crowe's helicopter will destroy the bridge. If you drive off it, the level ends. Instead, turn your vehicle around and drive back in the opposite direction. You'll see the road you came from on your right and a long flat valley with trees on your left. The fifth secret is at the end of this valley.
  

NATIVE

• Enter the first mercenary encampment through the hole in the fence. You will see several huts and a watchtower. The first secret is on top of the roof of that tower.
  
• Your main objective on this map is to blow up the mercenaries' armoury. When you have found it, enter the armoury through the roof. You will land on a scaffold with a large medkit and a secret. Alternatively you can enter the armory through the window and jump on the scaffold using crates in the vicinity. Either way, you must make sure to grab it before blowing up the building. After that you will not be able to reach the scaffold anymore.
  
• Now follow the road through the broken fence, steal an ATV from one of the mercenaries and drive off. Eventually Crowe's chopper will destroy your vehicle, and in a cut scene, he will order you to follow him to his HQ. Once you're back on your feet, ignore the bridge in front of you and descend down into the river. To your left, there should be a waterfall. Look for the third secret near this waterfall.
  
• The fourth secret is at Crowe's headquarters, on top of the roof. You'll recognize the area by the small chopper standing near the building. Search for a ladder outside on the second floor leading up to the roof.
  
• Near the end of the map, there is a large plantation area with a hut at the back of it. Take down the helicopters and kill every mercenary. Now crawl under the hut and you’ll find the last secret.
  

RIVER

• The first secret is found at the start of this map. Once you’ve broken out of the container, you’ll find yourself in a fenced area with lots of crates and containers. The canister is found behind a red container at the back of this area.
  
• Now punch through the fences and proceed down the road into the tent. One of the enemies will sound an alarm. Clear the area and move along. The next big area is another mercenary encampment with two large huts, a closed gate, and some sandbags in the middle. To your left, you should see a stack of boxes which you can climb to reach the small fenced area to the left. Look for the manhole in the middle and drop down. The second secret is in this tunnel.
  
• In the area where you reconnect with Doyle, there is a large waterfall nearby. Swim towards it and check the right side of the shore. You’ll find the canister on a stone.
  
• At one point on the river you will come across a large roofed bridge overlooking the river, and four mines floating in front of it. A dockside with three boats is also nearby. The secret is on the roof of that bridge.
  
• When Val contacts you, you will be on the last part of the river (presumably travelling by hovercraft). At one point you will drive past a wrecked outpost. The fifth secret is somewhere amongst these corpses.
  

RAIN FOREST

• The first secret is one of the easiest you’ll ever find. At the start of the level, run past the truck and into the large open swamp area. The canister is simply somewhere on the shore to your left.
  
• After you've met Val at the campfire, proceed straight down the road. You will encounter the remains of a wrecked plane on your path. The second secret is among the wreckage.
  
• On the outside of the large Japanese bunker, a large force of enemies and a chopper will attack you. Clear the area and walk toward the back of the top level (there’s a mounted machine gun nearby). Drop down onto the lower area (alternatively it can be reached through a tunnel on the main intersection). Once you’ve reached the far end of the outside, look down and search for a small plateau of grass. You should see the remains of a crate and a secret lying on top of it. It’s hard to describe but if you are facing the outside of the bunker from the front (with the tent on your right), the secret is on that ledge to the far left.
  
• After you've disabled the generator inside the bunker, return to the large room you came from. The door at the top will now be open. This leads to a corridor with a puncheable fence, and a mined hallway. Straight ahead, past these mines and over the boxes you will find the fourth secret.
  
• The last secret is found near the end of the map. After you've cleared the room with the plane wreck, you'll find yourself back outside in the jungle. This road leads to a mine-entrance and eventually to the elevator that ends the level. Look outside this mineshaft to the right.
  

MINES

Unfortunately my memory from this map is extremely clouded , but the secrets are some of the easiest to find. It's hard to give accurate descriptions because there are so few reference points in the mines. Off the top of my head:

• At one point you will enter a room from the top, with two barrels in front of you, two scaffolds leading to a ledge with some armour, and three mercenaries on the ground below. To your right, there should be a mine cart on its side. A secret is standing next to it.
  
• Another secret involves a kind of trick jump on bent railways to reach a platform that leads to another platform. The secret is in plain sight really. It's just not easy to jump there.
• At one point on the map, you will traverse an area with a large bridgelike platform above you. Try to get it on it and follow it through into a mine tunnel. There should be some armour and a phial.
  

CLIFFS

• The first secret is a long way down the map but must be reached from the beginning. Walk out of the mineshaft, kill the guards and grab your ATV. You will shortly pass along a big black rock. Stop here and look for a path and some vines leading up. This will bring you practically to the top of the map, and down a long path, which ends on a plateau with a paraglider on it. A mercenary with a rocket launcher will stand next to it. The secret is on a crate right there.
  
• There are three large rivers on the Cliffs. The first leads to a pier with a flare nearby, the second to a shallow pool of water and some huts, and the third to a large beachfront with the bunker ruin. Somewhere on the mountainside of the first river, you should be able to see a helicopter wreck, stuck in the rocks. Just below the wreck lies the second secret. It can only be reached using a certain paraglider. Try to find it.
  
• If you are travelling by boat along the first river, at one point you will come across a small outpost where a mercenary kicks a red barrel into the water. The third secret is inside the tent on that shore. Alternatively, it can be reached with a zip-line from the other side of the cliff that leads straight down to it.
  
• When you’ve reached the end of the second river, make your way through the huts and climb the hill to reach the helipad. Clear the area and kill the guy with the rocket launcher on top of the bunker. Get back down and walk to the beach. Take the jet-ski and follow the river in the opposite direction of your objective. You’ll quickly reach the end and see a large black piece of mountain with a cavern in it. The fourth secret is on a pier in that cavern.
  
• The fifth secret is simply hidden inside the huge cell containing the monster. Once you’ve set it free, go outside and turn right into the cell.
  

SUB-AQUATIC FACILITY

• When you reach the corridor that leads to the surgical room where Doyle removes Jack’s safety implant, instead of entering run past it to the far end of the hall, and enter the room on your left. You will find some adrenaline and a secret.
  
• On this level you will able to rip out fixed machine guns for the first time. The first one you find is located on a short wall with some mercenaries. Once you climb onto it, a large number of zombies will appear. Kill them and keep following this path. You will come across a large gateway. Pass it and to your right there should be a watchtower with a sniper inside. The second secret is inside that tower. You will find the entrance on the side but you will have to jump to be able to climb the ladder.
  
• On the mined river, the first outpost consists of two watchtowers on the shore. The third secret is in between those two towers, at the back of the area.
  
• At the end of the mined river, you will enter a large base with several towers, lots of enemies and a chopper. Clear the area and move to the tower to the far right. You can climb up and use a zip-line to get on top of the roof with the cannon. Instead of using the zip-line however, turn to the snipertower and jump on top of it using feral jump. From here on, you will be able to jump to the roof of the middle tower on the shore (again, using your feral jump). The fourth secret is on top of it.
  
• The fifth secret is inside a container on the last area of the map. Once you pull the switch to open the gates, move through a small tunnel of containers into the area with the water. The container with the secret is somewhere to your right, on top of another. It should be easy to spot, as it is one of the few that’s open.
  

DEAD MARSHES

• Start the map, kill the mercenaries in the little shed and follow the road until you come across a white generator, a jeep wreck and a blown up gas tank. The first secret is somewhere on top of the generator.
  
• Move straight ahead now until you approach the destroyed bridge. On the other side of the river you will see one of those Frankenstein monsters tearing into the scenery. Jump down into the river below and look to your right. There should be a container with a vial inside.
  
• After you’ve acquired the ability to perceive body heat, you will come across a large fenced area with a power station. Ignore this and turn left. There should be a long stretch of swampland here. Explore it until you find a small outpost with a zombie in it. Even further past this outpost, there should be a piece of swamp with a half submerged helicopter wreck. Behind it you will see a pool. The secret is at the bottom of this pool to the far left.
  
• Travel further down the map and you will reach the encampment from where you can take the raft to traverse the swamp. Stay outside and follow the long road past the sniper tower. The fourth secret is at the end of it.
  
• Now make your way through the large swamp using the raft (or swim or walk whatever suits you better). Once you get ashore, move up the hill and destroy the tower. To your right, there should be a bridge with a broken down truck on the other side. From there, you can descend down into the water under the bridge. You should see a sewer pipe sticking out at the end of the river, half filled with water. The last secret is at the back of this pipe.
  

WASTELAND

• After you’ve contacted Val, a jeep will drive through the fence. Kill the mercenaries and take the jeep down the road, until you reach a very large area, with a stone building to your right, a guy with a rocket launcher in the middle and a shed with an ATV at the very back. The first secret is on the roof of the stone building. Find a jumping point from a nearby hill and use your feral jump to get it.
  
• The second secret is also in this area. Search the left side of the swamp (left if you are at the start of the area with the building to your right and the rocket launcher guy some distance in front of you). You should find a walkway that takes you through a secret path and into a long area with a container in it. The canister is inside the container.
  
• At one point now down your path, you will enter a sewer pipe, which leads to a building, which in turn, leads into a large open area with a chopper in the middle. The third secret is simply inside this building, on the ledge to your left when exiting the sewer pipe.
  
• Enter the building where Doyle is held captive and clear the area of Special Forces. There should be a room with some medical equipment and kicked down tables. To your right the hall leads into a corridor that leads toward Doyle. To your left, there should be another hallway and some stairs, leading to some ammo, medpacks and armour. Now jump over the crates and chairs at the back of this hall and you’ll find the fourth secret behind a stack of boxes.
  
• Protect Doyle as you make your way to the end of the map. Kill all enemies and escort him towards the chopper. However instead of boarding it, look to your left for another building. The last secret is inside that building.
  

BLACK FOREST

• The first secret is simply near the beginning of the map underneath the broken down truck on the beach.
  
• Travel a bit further down the map and you will reach a fenced area that ends with two pipelines (left and right). You will also be swamped with zombies from all sides so try to stay alive first and foremost. The left pipeline leads to the large volcanic hillside guarded by the two bunkers. The right pipeline leads to the second secret.
  
• Once you’ve cleared the two bunkers, move around the outside of the bunker where you find the C4 charge. You’ll find a piece of crumbled wall that allows you to jump on top of the roof (you probably need to use feral jumping). From this roof, you can jump onto the other bunker. The third phial is on top of this bunker.
  
• After you’ve met with Krieger’s elite guards ("I’m f***ing sick of this place", etc.), there is a big fight inside the bunker room. Clear the area and move up the stairs to reach the top level. At the back, you will see some crates you can jump over. This leads into the machine gun nest you saw earlier while fighting Crowe’s Special Forces outside the bunker. The fourth secret is inside this room.
  
• The last secret is found at the very end of the level. The phial is right in Krieger's living room where his guards murder him.
  

That’s it. Evolution coming up shortly. I still need to clear two or three maps. If I get stuck I’ll post a preliminary list anyway. Please report any errors and omissions. I’ll edit this post to keep it up to date! (I don't know if this is much to ask, but I wonder if the moderators might want to sticky this?)

This message has been edited. Last edited by: Eddo36,

Thanks for the link Eddo. I'll update those I forgot in a minute. Although contrary to what someone is saying there I did find all those secrets myself

PIRATE ENCLAVE 1

• No secrets. Would be kind of hard since you are operating a machine gun all the time.
  

PIRATE ENCLAVE 2

Pirate Enclave 2 consists of five main islands. The first is the one you came from. The next three (the plantage, the warehouse and the docks) can be completed in any order you like. For the sake of convenience, I’ll address these islands by their reference points. The plantage island is hereby called the Pagoda Island, the warehouse island is now called the Communications Tower Island and the docks will remain the Docks. The last one opens up when the first three objectives are finished. Nothing really happens there except the level ending You will recognize it mainly by its closed gate.

• The easiest secret on this map is found on a small island with seemingly no purpose across the back of the Pagoda Island. Move all the way around it and you should see a beach with stones signing “HELP!” and a shipwreck with a corpse in it. The canister is right inside the wreck.
  
• On the island with the docks, there should be a pagoda-like watchtower on the coast facing the island with the Communications Tower. From this point of view, swim along the shore line to the left until you come across an underwater cave entrance. This tunnel leads into a small cave with weapons, armour and a secret. You can actually peer inside this cave from one of the roads on the island.
  
• Now we get to the difficult part. The next three secrets are all located on the bottom of the ocean. I’ll try to describe their locations as accurately as possible, but you’ll have to do some swimming for yourself. Always keep an eye on your air supply, and don’t forget that feral speed also allows you to swim faster. The first of these secrets is found near the edge of the map, close to the shore of the first island (the island from which you came) and opposite the Pagoda Island. Swim around for a while until you find a wooden boat wreck similar to the one from the first secret mentioned. The phial is inside the wreck.
  
• The next secret lies between the island with the Communications Tower and the small cone-shaped island (which is, in turn, close the island of the first secret). You’ll have to take a deep dive but you should find the wreck of an old Japanese warship. Swim through it. The canister should be in or near the main steering room. As a special treat you’ll also find a heavy machine gun inside the hull.
  
• The last of these underwater secrets is located near the last island (the one where the level ultimately ends). When facing the water gate of this island, move along the shore all the way to the right until you reach the edge of the map. Now swim a little toward the island with the Docks. Somewhere between these two points (but far from the island with the Docks), there is another undersea canyon, this time with a plane wreck. The secret is under the wing of the plane.
  

PIRATE ENCLAVE 3

• From the start of the level, make your way toward the red jeep and take it. Now drive a little while and look closely to your left on the road. You should come across a ledge with some plane wreckage on it. The first secret is right there.
  
• Now drive further along the way until you reach the large beach area. If you took the road down to the coast, turn immediately left, and look for a humvee wreck between some trees. If you drove your jeep right off the edge onto the beach, it should be somewhat to your right.
  
• Enemy vehicles will chase you here so take them out first. Now right in the centre of this area stands a huge stone arch overlooking the beach (it would be hard to miss it). The second secret is right on top of it. Use your feral jumping to get onto it.
  
• When you find Kade, she will try and start the jeep while you hold the enemies off. Clear the area but don’t hop into the vehicle yet. If you are facing the same direction as the jeep, to your far left there will be a secret. It’s easy to find.
  
• Now look to the far right in the same fashion as the previous secret. There will be another canister right there.
  

SHANTY TOWN

• Don’t waste your time on the village (I did that for you). There aren’t any secrets here. Not inside the houses anyway. The secrets on this map are fairly easy to find, and oddly enough, each canister will lie next to some sort of Chinese lantern post. This is the only level that has such markers. Don’t know why. So anyway, to get to the first secret proceed through the first village until you reach a junction, with one road leading up onto a platform with suspended cages, and another into a mineshaft which ends at the back of the second part of the village. Follow the first road and you will eventually reach a dockside with one guard and several boats. Kill him and instead of taking the right turn toward the second village, go left and move along the coastline until you see a patch of grass with a cage and such a Chinese post. The first secret is there.
  
• Now after you’ve broken out of Kade’s safe house, take the road to the old shrine. You’ll pass a wooden bridge with a waterfall, next up a house with a disassembled jeep and finally a house with lots of red barrels. An enemy will kick them off the hill so watch out. Proceed past this house and take the first turn right. This isn’t actually a road but a few low rocks you can climb using feral jump. From here, jump over the canyon to the next platform. From here you should be able to see the Chinese marker. Don’t jump towards it from this height. Look for a lower ledge to drop down in front of you, and use this one as a jumping point towards the secret.
  
• The next one is kinda hard to describe but at one point you will enter a large area with canyons connected by tree trunks and suspension bridges. Some of these tree trunks will stick out in a kind of sloped fashion. My advice: stay close to the ground and follow the river all the way to the back of this area. You should encounter a small waterfall (single stream). Keep following the river and you will pass a low wooden bridge. Keep your eyes fixed to the left and you should come across a small canyon that leads into an area with a plane wreck. The third secret is behind that plane.
  
• The fourth secret is located very close to the third. When you exit the canyon with the plane, you should see a large waterfall ahead to your left. Climb it until you reach the top level, and walk to the far left of it. There is a small passage into a cavern with some armour, the marker and the fourth secret.
  
• Next up, you’ll reach a terrace like plantation. Kill your way through until you must climb a wooden ramp to reach the next level. Notice the orange lanterns hanging around and follow these. You should come across several of the enemy’s gun emplacements. At the back of this area is a large closed gate, which you cannot open. To its left however should be a secret path hidden behind some sandbags and bushes. Follow this path down and you’ll find the last secret.
  

SHANTY TOWN ESCAPE

• Locate the rebel spy and make your way across the boats to the next part of Shanty Town. Your destination here is the pirates' armoury, a large stone building which is accessed by crawling under a garage shutter. You will meet Kade here as she is breaking into an enclosed storage room of the pirates. The first secret is on the counter of that room.
  
• Once you have your ATV to escape the village, jump over the wall past the tower and drive up the hill. You will reach a bend with a broken fence. Run through this fence and you’ll see a river. To your right, there should be a small pier. Ahead of you, somewhat to your left, there will be large area of bushes across the river. Somewhere to the right of those bushes, against the flank of a hill, you will find a hidden cave entrance that leads to a room with the second secret.
  
• In the area with the drawbridge, look for a gap underneath the fence between the house and the bunker with the switch. You will enter a coastal area. Follow this beach to the far right until you reach a hut. The third canister is inside that hut.
  
• At one point, after you’ve passed the bamboo forest and some bridges, you will enter a large area with to your right, almost straight ahead of you, a large gate fence, which you cannot open. To your left you should see some scaffolds and ladders. Climb these to get to the next level and jump over the fence to get back on the road. To your left, you will see a road leading uphill. To your right there is a steep canyon-wall and some ladders to climb it. Look closely to these ladders. On one of the scaffolds you should see a single crate hanging by a rope. Shoot it, and the canister will drop out. This is the only secret in the game hidden inside a crate.
  
• Near the end you will come across a large enclosed area. First you will be attacked by a wave of pirates, then by three or four vehicles. The final jeep will crash through the gate and clear the way for you. Proceed through this hole but turn immediately left. There is a sniping tower right behind the gate. The last secret is on top of it.
  

REFINERY ASSAULT

• Once Doyle contacts you to say he has found the truck, you will enter another large forest area. Look for a stream of water. It will eventually lead under small arch of rocks. Jump on these rocks to find the first secret.
  
• Now we get to the part where you chase/drive the truck. You will come across an encampment, a checkpoint, a bridge, another encampment and a second checkpoint. The second secret is located near the first encampment. If you follow the road you cannot miss it, as these are the first buildings you will encounter on your way. A little while before this huts, to your right, there should be a slope down to a valley below. Inside this valley you will find the wreck of a huge plane. The vial is inside the cockpit.
  
• At the second checkpoint you have to commandeer the truck regardless of whether you were tailing it or not. Pass this checkpoint and drive down the road. At one point you will pass under a bridge. Stop the truck and find a way to get on that bridge, and follow the road to the far left. You will eventually reach another rebel encampment. The third secret is inside one of the huts.
  
• When you reach the refinery park your truck and enter the building to meet up with Doyle. Before or after you do this, check the building for a room with a pinball machine. A secret is underneath it.
  
• Once you've killed the rebel commander with the rocket launcher, head down and dive into the stream below. This river is shut off by a grate near the raft you use to escape the tunnels. The last secret is found right there at the bottom of the stream.
  

CANOPY FOREST

• One of your first objectives will be to find a boat and get back to Doyle. You will find this boat in a large rebel base far down the river. In the centre of this camp however, there is a pen with an ATV tied to a metal lid. Drive the ATV forward and the lid will be torn off revealing a hidden cellar full of arms Terminator 2 style. Inside this cellar lies the first secret.
  
• When you return, Doyle will be gone. At one point while you’re following his trail, you will suddenly be surrounded by a large group of rebels. Kill them all. To your right, you will find a large rock with a tent sail. The secret is under that sail.
  
• Fast forward to the part with the trees. Your objective is to destroy three transmitters. When you have reached the first transmitter, turn back and retrace your steps to the previous platform. There should be another platform nearby with a sniper (which I hope you shot), but it’s too far to reach it with a feral jump. Turn on your feral senses and look for two trees with climbing marks. Jump from tree to tree to reach the sniping platform and the second secret.
  
• After you’ve destroyed the first radio, follow the zip-line down to the platform ahead. Stay here and look for climbing marks on a tree nearby. Climb the tree and turn around at the highest point. You’ll be able to reach a platform right above from where you were standing earlier. From there, jump to another platform, past a suspended helicopter wreck. The secret is on that platform.
  
• After you’ve taken the fourth secret and resume your objective, there are two paths ahead. One over solid ground, the other along several tree bridges. The latter must be reached with another climbable tree. Find it and jump on the tree bridges. Follow this route all the way to the end, and you will find the last secret.
  

REBEL FORTRESS

• Start the level, follow the road and climb on the black wall to reach the next level. You are now in a large open area with multiple paths. Stick closely to the ground and move straight ahead. You should come across some sandbags and a crate with armour and a secret on it. It’s nearly impossible to miss it.
  
• Now once you’ve found Doyle, proceed through the rebel fortress. At one point you will enter a long hall with several platforms above you. Find the stairs and jump from platform to platform until you reach the one that leads back out into the open (there’s a big hole in the wall). On the outside, find the right ledge and you should be able to reach a narrow walkway on the other side. This leads into a medium sized mountain area that ends in a deep ravine. However when you exit that walkway, immediately to your left, you will be shot at by a sniper. The second secret is on his platform.
  
• After climbing/jumping up to the second rocky, bowl-shaped enclave facing the first fortress wall. This is identifiable by the tower on the bowl's eastern face. Below this tower (under) is a vial, accessible by a hole in the rear wall.
  
• After Semeru drops you down the mountain, you will have lost all your gear. Proceed further down the road (you will have to jump and climb several times) until you come across the first enemy. He will be guarding a pagoda like watchtower with a rocket launcher. Take him out and follow the road to the next tower. Three or four enemies will attack. You will find a shotgun as your first weapon. Take out the rebels and search the base of the tower. One of its walls will be puncheable with your feral attack. Inside the tower you’ll find armour, weapons, and the fourth secret.
  
• At one point now you will reach another large fortress area, which is identified by the red roofs over the balconies. Pass the first tower on the right (east) and enter the fortress on the left (west). Work through the rooms, moving upwards wherever possible. In the northeast corner of the tower is a room containing the last vial. On the exterior of this room is the balcony/machine gun placement visible from the road. It is also directly opposite the twin towers on the east side of the street.
  

That's it. Have fun!

I must say, you're doing a great job on doing this! Thanks alot for this
By the way, this update is probably for Evolutions, I assume? I guess so, since it's a new list :P
Thanks again, and I hope someone could help us with the last phial in Instincts in the "Wasteland"-level, although I am just in the "Sub-Aquatic Facility"-level :P
good luck with the hunting, Sepulchrive :thumbsup:

I edited the Instincts list to include some omissions. Thanks to Fireflyfanatic and Ddominatr's posts at the Xbox forum for filling in some gaps.

Still can't remember where the fifth secret in the Wasteland was. And I'm waiting to see if the secret in the manhole on the River is confirmed.

I found one in Refinery Assault:

While chasing the truck on the ATV you should be traveling down a road. At the bottom of the path near the group of huts, there should be a clearing on the right side of the road very close the the corner. Jump down into the clearing to find a wrecked plane. In the plane's cockpit is the phial.

Still can't remember where the fifth secret in the Wasteland was. And I'm waiting to see if the secret in the manhole on the River is confirmed.

I'm the FireflyFlanatic from the other board and just wanted to apologize for implying that you had already been there and got some of the locations there. I was mostly annoyed at the person ahead of that post basically ignoring all the information that we had posted in the thread already, which had the list almost complete too.

I have no doubt that you found most on your own and put a lot of work into looking for them, as a few of us over there did too. It's the few hard ones to find that we were all scrambling around trying to find and it was a lot of fun doing it as a group.

That manhole does contain a vial, when you climb down there is a guy doing work with his back to you and he's talking to himself. The vial is right out in the open but I think some people don't realize they may have gotten it because they are focused on the character.

I found another one not on the list:

Rebel Fortress

After you pick up phial three, proceed to the palace. After you kill a group of enemies inside there should be a pagoda in front of you and another large building to your left. Go inside the large building and keep following the hallways to a large upstairs bedroom. The phial should be on a stool near the rooms balcony entrances.

Thanks SecV! Will check them out first thing tomorrow morning.

No problem. I enjoyed the back and forth feedback between message boards. Looks like Ddominatr compiled a nice Instincts list there. It's been fun indeed.

While chasing the truck on the ATV you should be traveling down a road. At the bottom of the path near the group of huts, there should be a clearing on the right side of the road very close the the corner. Jump down into the clearing to find a wrecked plane. In the plane's cockpit is the phial.

Have these been confirmed yet or not? Would appreciate it, if it is so

I'm positive that these are confirmed, I just got the achievement today!

awsome list thanks if it wasnt for you i probably wouldnt even bother looking for these but anyways i just wanted to point out that you mention on the level Native that the capsule is hidden under the waterfall at the start of the level but the waterfall your talking about is actually after crowe blows you off your ATV,also do you know where i might find the reamining 2 capsules for the mines? thanks again for the faq.

You're right about the Native secret. Thanks! As for the mines, look for a similar walkthrough here:

Instincts: http://forums.xbox.com/3710377/ShowPost.aspx
Evolution: http://forums.xbox.com/3731053/ShowPost.aspx

The Mines is a really difficult level to describe properly. I could mention railways, bridges and caves but really what does that leave you with? I intend to get back to that level shortly and provide a better walkthrough for all five secrets but for now you'll just have to help yourself with the three mentioned and the other walkthrough on Xbox.com (which should be fine anyway).

hey i just finished getting all the samples there was one other one you were confused about its in the dead marshes on instincts. Its the third vial you put i know the area your talking about but its not there it should actually be the second on your list of vials. The second vial is after you see Big Boy for the first time on the other end of the fence and the mutants shooting you head down towards the bottom of the mountain kill the mutants and instead of going to the left take a right until you get to an open container which has the 2nd vial inside.

• After you’ve contacted Val, a jeep will drive through the fence. Kill the mercenaries and take the jeep down the road, until you reach a very large area, with a building to your right, a guy with a rocket launcher in the middle and a shed with an ATV at the very back. The first secret is on the roof of the building. Find a jumping point from a nearby hill and use your feral jump to get it.
  

PIRATE ENCLAVE PART 2

• The easiest secret on this map is found on a small island with seemingly no purpose across the back of the Pagoda Island. Move all the way around it and you should see a beach with stones signing “HELP!” and a shipwreck with a corpse in it. The canister is right inside the wreck.
  

Could you please get rid with the description about the shed and ATV? it annoyed me in the beginning because I thought you meant it was laying there, really confusing.
so I found out later that is was on the building on your right so it has no point of mentioning that shed at the back, it's more required for the second Krieger Research phial.
That's all I wanted to point out.

I also can't find that phial in your description with that "HELP"-rockformation, because I can't find it behind the back of the plantation. A little bit help here please, thanks in advance,
