Forum:Secrets, in general

I was just wondering how someone is supposed to know about secret items in a game. I know the whole point is that they are "secret" but how does one go about being the first to uncover such secrets?

Let's take the Solar Gun in MGS4 as an example. You need to know about the dolls, how to have them appear, where they are when they appear, that there is 5 of them and that you need all of them to get the Solar Gun. Let's take the face camouflages as an other example; you need to know that you can move the Mk.II around the Norad, that you need to bump into people with it and that some people only show up once or twice.

I guess my point is that there aren't any in-game clues about secret items, because, well duh, they are secret. Any one fancies an answer or comment on this perplexing philosophical question?
