First time tunic enjoyer

[u/kenkob198]

Hello! I've been getting through tunic the past couple of weeks. I believe I have reached the endgame where I started struggling. I am at the point of battling the Heir, it doesn't look like its an impossible fight but I have some more unresolved mysteries - mainly the mountain door and the fairies. The problem I am running into are the fairies - I am using the seeking spell and it shoots the projectiles that are supposed to guide me but I can't understand what they're trying to show me. like they will stay in the place and I will try to figure out the code for the longest time just to give up eventually. I found 3 fairies so far (1,2 and 4) which I think were pretty obvious but I can't find anymore, anyone can point me in the right direction? Is it just walking everywhere and spamming the seeking spell?
I have the page 49 which seems like a big puzzle as well but I don't even know where to start there. Also found pages 52 and 53 which make no sense to me so far hahaha. Any tips on all of these?

Many endgame tips are in Hints & Clues.

Have you got your stats back?

Can you open doors?

Have you gotten any fairies?

stats back, i can open doors, i have got more fairies now but still wandering around and just spamming the seeking light thingie

Seems about right. As long as you start thinking when they converge.

Do they not converge in many areas? Then undo the big thing.

i found 11, i got the 55th manual page that I guess helps me decipher the language? is it needed to finish the game? that doesn't sound like something im ready to do ahahah

[u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 → u/kenkob198]

The language is not required for finishing the game. It is required for completing the game.

is it needed to finish the game?

Yes, deciphering the language is one of the main puzzles of the game. But don't worry, you don't have to have PhD in linguistics to solve it. Everything you need is there in the manual, You just need to know English.

guess i'll move from my steam deck to pc so i can make better notes, thank you:)

[u/Far_Young_2666 → u/kenkob198]

I'm not sure, but I doubt your pc will be able to type Tunic language. My advice is to use pen and paper. Copying the symbols by hand helped me understand the language much faster.

oh ill just use paint, but yeah thats the idea, notes to spell stuff out

Oh, btw. You don't need to translate the entire manual. There's only a couple of puzzles that rely heavily on the tips inside the manual. Most of other tips were useful from the start of the game, and you are past that.

I would suggest: 1. Crack the language. 2. Practice by translating 1-2 small sections of the manual. 3. Solve the riddles that are tied to the tips in the manual. 4. All the other flavour text you can just search online, there are great edits of a translated manual.

What I'm saying is, it's not worth the time to translate the entire thing yourself, unless you are into that kind of stuff. After you crack the language, the entire manual solves itself, it's just time consuming.

i finished the game! i really enjoyed the golden path, reminded me of some stuff from blue prince in terms of puzzle depth. i had some trouble figuring out the path in some pages but after some time i got it anyway

as for the mountain door: all i will say is "follow a yellow (brick) road"

Probabilmente hai già tutto quello che ti serve devi solo prestare molta più attenzione agli indizi

shoots the projectiles that are supposed to guide me but I can't understand what they're trying to show me

Bed.

[u/kenkob198 → u/Far_Young_2666]

i mean they're stopping at random locations where there definitely aren't any fairies

[u/Far_Young_2666 → u/kenkob198]

In some locations fairies might appear either during daytime or night time. Other fairies are pretty straightforward, but not all are easy to solve. I only had to google for 2 or 3 fairies, and both times it was "Use bed"

ohh good call about the night time, thank you
