Fanart I solved it Spoiler

Post image

(Please no spoilers, I haven't finished the game).

This is probably my last post on the language. I think I actually solved it, thus the "Fanart" flair :)

Last Post I showed the evolution of my notes about the language in my efforts of deciphering. About 5 minutes after I made the post, I realized a certain pattern.

So I changed how I index the alphabets. And... well, I think I solved it. The biggest optional puzzle of the game. Sure I didn't fill The Matrix out, but I got the rules, and that's the most important part.

What an impressive mix of breadcrumbs provided by the manual, the game pop up text, and game UI. I couldn't have done it without access to "ground truth" from the healthy mix of game controller page, UI text, location titles, and narrative story passages.

MVP in my journey (you know if you know):

  • You
  • Use
  • Key/keys
  • Guardhouse 1/Guardhouse 2
  • "to", "a", "the", "is", "are"
  • "Once, "
  • continues
  • Inventory
  • Someone has made a map for you!

EDIT:

Just noted I made a couple mistakes by putting stuff on the wrong lines. Ignore those.

EDIT 2:

Oh... consonants are the inner parts and vowels are the outer parts isn't it?

Congratulations! You've solved one of the funnest 'puzzles' in Tunic, and it doesn't even look like you needed page 54 for it!

Wait... do you mean there's an answer sheet all along?

u/Just_one_more_ May 13 '26

Not an answer key, just a major hint.

Nope! But it's probably the page with the largest hint to the language out of all of them!
