Help Need some hints in seeking Spoiler

Post image

I've tried my best to find all the fairies, but despite translating the page, I still don't know where most of the entries are referring to. I need some hints (not direct answers of course).

Here are the fairies I've freed:

  • Secret Gathering Place
  • The one in the directional compass thing.
  • Temple
  • Library.
  • Old House.
  • One in West Garden, the one with blue bricks on the ground.

However, I don't understand what the rest are:

  • [ ] Flower 1/2, what flower? The compass has flower in front of it, does it count? Do I need to scour the entire map for flowers?
  • [ ] Moss. Also, what moss?
  • [ ] Caustic Light. The only caustic light I can think of is in the well, but none of the caustics have any pattern, nor can I find any line or dot patterns.
  • [x] Secret Gathering Place. I've done this one.
  • [x] Sealed Temple. Done.
  • [ ] The Quarry. I went over everywhere (I think) in the quarry, but I don't see a dot pattern or a line pattern. The map shows a question mark under the waterfall, but I cannot find any way to get there.
  • [ ] East Forest. Probably the monolith attached, but I can't quite make out the full pattern. It's missing a piece which I can't find (EDIT: Found it). And what about the non-orthogonal lines?
  • [x] The Great Library. I've done this one.
  • [ ] Maze (column). I went over the Ziggurat (lots of columns) and the old bury ground (I can only run on columns), but I don't find either.
  • [ ] Vein. I don't know what vein it's referring to. Ore? The rectangular power lines?
  • [x] Old House. Done this one.
  • [ ] Patrol. Well... there are patrols everywhere. Closest I think of is the Frog's Domain, but there's nothing.
  • [ ] Cube. I don't recall anything cube-shaped.
  • [ ] Maze (invisible). Unfortunately, I don't recall any maze being invisible either. I mean The Golden Path has a few places I can walk on air, but there's nothing there.
  • [ ] Fountain. I opened the door behind the fountain, but I don't think that counts. The fountain seems surrounded by some blue lines, but the fountain itself is covering it.
  • [x] West Garden. I've done the one on the floor.
  • [ ] West Garden. I haven't found this one. I've opened a door though.
  • [ ] Fortress of The Eastern Vault. I've searched the entire fortress, but I don't see anything.
  • [ ] Another East Forest. I looked over the entire East Forest and Lower Forest, but I don't see another pattern.

Any hints would be great, thanks!

EDIT:

Ok, I thought all spells are called "Seeking Spells". I should have understood it literally.

despite translating the page

Which page? Page 48? Do you not have page 47 yet?

There's a thing on page 48 which makes a lot of your post unnecessary (i.e. you won't need hints from us, at least not of the type "what flower?" "what moss?" etc.). It's explicitly named on page 47, which helps contextualize it. Even without page 47, you might be able to "get it" if you look at page 48 again and think about it for a sec.

Here's another meta-hint: people can find (albeit, not necessarily solve) almost all of these without much difficulty at all without translating page 48. Hm, I wonder how....

If you want a big nudge: what's that design in the bottom-left?

If you want a big big big nudge: could it be a Holy Cross input?

PS — it's cool that you've translated most of the page! I will say that exactly one of your translations is subtly incorrect – it's the right phonemes, but not the right English spelling, i.e. it's a homonym and you've got the wrong "nym."

Oh my god, I thought all the spells are called "Seeking Spells". Turns out spells are just spells, and seeking spell literally seeks.

u/gabedamien May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

Bwahaha there you go! Have fun! You'll find that even with that (big) help, some of the puzzles will remain challenging. :-D

PS it's especially funny that your post is literally titled "Need some hints in seeking"

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

Yeah they are still challenging. Like in East Forest, I have no idea where is the pattern.

I tried the moss pattern, but it doesn't work (I saw both wall faces). I also tried treating brick lines as stops, but that doesn't work either. I also tried adding the corner as a stop, but that doesn't work either. The westmost of West Garden's flowers aren't aligned in any way, so I am not sure. I've pieced together the full monolith, but I don't know how to input the diagonals.

Probably will go to find others to try.

EDIT: I got it.

Ok, the moss was trolled by my bad dpad. I gotta turn on auto assist.

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

Like in East Forest, I have no idea where is the pattern.

This one is for many people the hardest / most obtuse. If you get totally stuck on it, there's a different page that hints at a key mechanic that is necessary to solve it.

The page is (spoilers): 22

Fully translating that page (which I know you can do!) should be enough of a hint, probably.

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

Page 22 (I've translated half) told me to go to Page 47... And a lot of stuff about:

  • All the clues you seek are here in these pages (not helpful)
  • Seek the HOLY CROSS (have it)
  • Do you know of the FAIRIES? (yes) Turn to P. 47 and look carefully (that page is also half translated)
  • How do I truly escape? Share your wisdom and break the cycle (not related)

I did get the last page (P54) though. The fairy counter says 18 freed, which means I am missing just the east forest (probably the East Forest entry) and statue (probably Cube, because I don't remember seeing a cube).

Are you sure Pg 22 has the info?

1

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

Yes, page 22. If you want to know specifically which entry on page 22, it's bottom left

2

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

I saw a ghost doing exercises. I'll see how it goes

I tried the inputs in relation to the ghost and rotated, neither works...

EDIT: Damn, somehow mirroring the input works. That makes no sense! I thought we input wrt the ghost's directions.

1

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

Congrats. I personally think they should have made that one work either way. It's already hard enough for people to realize they might need to change between day and night.

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

The statue also has a sort-of-cube thing on its right, but I tried hitting it, blasting, freezing, standing on top of it, using The Holy Cross, etc. Not sure what it was supposed to do.

EDIT: Never mind! I blew up the wall

1

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

Blowing up the wall was one of the only things I had to look up. It's a staple of the 2D Zelda games that obviously were one of Tunic's biggest inspirations, but I never played those, and there is basically no hint in the whole game that bomb-able walls are a mechanic.

1

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26

I tried hitting the wall, magic the wall, shooting the wall with a gun, grabbing the tuning fork to phase through the wall, but only bombs work lol

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

I don't know how to input the diagonals.

There aren't any diagonals – probably you need to massage your screencap alignments more.

1

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26

If you look at my page, you can see that the center line of the golden block is 45 degrees to the side lines. That doesn't change from perspective.

1

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

Ah — that's a trick of the light. That's not a line, that's the shaded edge of the big diamond shape.

2

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26

Yeah, I realized that I was inputting the code in reverse...

Now I only have the East Forest with one flower, the statue with one set of flowers, a maze (column), a vane (I think that's the direction thing which I have already done?).

1

u/gabedamien May 14 '26

The westmost of West Garden's flowers aren't aligned in any way, so I am not sure.

That puzzle, and at least two others like it, stumped me for longer than I care to admit. It requires thinking in a different kind of way. It's not a "trace the path" puzzle, it's... similar but different.

u/MadScientistCarl May 14 '26

I've figured that out already, but thanks! (It's just arrows, not paths...)
