When my directions are especially vague use the Verse numbers as your general guideline. For example Chapter 2 Verse 8 should be sought out after finishing the non-hidden Verse 7.

Many players would suggest that you shouldn't even worry about these hidden Verses until replays, making avoiding spoilers a pointless distraction. There's some merit to that argument, but since many of these Verses (particularly the Alfheim Portals) also serve as training for more complex techniques, you might find the game more enjoyable if you try to be a Verse completionist from the start. This guide will help with that.

After assembling elevator, go back down the hole.

Verse 5 (Alfheim 6)
When you get to the two statues, go in the opposite direction and look for the balcony. There's barrels underneath it.

Verse 8
Fight in the lava tunnels. (This isn't actually hidden, but I found it easy to accidentally skip on replays.)

After restoring the bridge, go back into the cave.

Verse 6 & Verse 7 (Alfheim 19)
This is slightly complicated so I'll go into detail. Jump into the enormous engine. During Verse 6 you need to use Witch Time to get all the way to the back of the tube so you can then access 7. Afterwards any projectile weapon can get you back out.

Verse 1 & 4
At this point you know what to do with statues, right?
