I dont know if there is a guide about this, or a guide that covers this topic. But i have been asked about secret walls three times, and I didn't have anywhere to point the questioners to

Then, I am posting here the secret walls I find. It seems to me that there is a pattern for secret walls. As items, all the possibilities have been deviced already.

You dont need anything to enter a secret wall, just to spot it. Sometimes, the item objective, or the elevator, is behind a secret wall. So, beware!

First, This is how the secret wall looks from the outside. The most important pointer is that the room in the map is bigger than what it seems in your screen

Second, You dont need anything to enter the wall, it is just an ilussion

Finally, you get behind the secret wall. Big time! a hidden treasure chest!

ONE MORE EXAMPLE
First, nothing looks wrong in this room.... But the map tells me otherwise. Always pay attention to rooms that exist in map but have no doors!

Second, I approach the potential entrance

Finally, go through!

YET ANOTHER!
Did you think that corridors were safe to rush through? Think again!

Next, I open my map and see that there is space beyond the wall

Last, go through the wall, you will be surprised!

You also get secret walls in caves where the wall just looks like any other cave wall.

Moral of the story?
Never neglect your PlayField map!

This is one of the things I love with AO; Using storyline tech in such a way.
I always figured these walls were holograms, much like the agents holographic items.

It would be really neat if holograms had an ever so slight distortion effect applied to them, though; I doubt holographic technology would be able to make perfect illusions?

I dunno, it can be pretty hard picking up on an agent's holograms. Unless they do something like hide as a bush in the middle of Rome.

Ill add more as I come across (and detect) them. I know of three more: the fire chamber and two in caves... Ill peel my eyes

At the time being, when a new player asks me about the mission not having an elevator, ill redirect him to

Updated the second post with two more possibilities

to bad no secret walls in subway

There are secret walls in subway style missions, but not the actual Subway instance.
