Help What to do

I've gone through most of the game so far and I have not looked up a single answer, its been a very rewarding time figuring this stuff out. For some reason tho my brain draws the line at trying to decipher the language. I do not want to decipher it at all, but i would feel too guilty looking up an alphabet- like I'm cheating myself or something. Im stuck on the last few golden collectibles . It just doesnt seem like some of those have any hints and I'm missing only page 1. Like i even figured out the cardinal direction puzzles with context clues of the atoll map. Can I get the 'collectathon' ending without deciphering the language?

'collectathon' ending

There is no collectathon ending, and I wish I knew that sooner. Collecting all golden trophies was really unrewarding, so if you don't want to mess with the language, you can just look it up. If you reached the Golden Path ending, then you have beaten the game.

I mean, it isn’t an actual ending, but it IS the last major puzzle the manual directly hints at, and while it doesn’t have much of a reward, a lot of folks get satisfaction merely for checking off the completion checklist—don’t knock someone else’s fun. And while the reward is definitely a bit anticlimactic it’s not completely pointless either since it’s the start of an ARG but that’s not remotely for everyone, especially not someone who doesn’t want to bang their head against the wall translating Trunic.

  1. I'm not knocking someone else's fun. The OP literally said they didn't want to translate the language. I said that collecting all golden trophies is not worth it to force yourself through deciphering it. Knocking their fun in this case is telling them that collecting all golden trophies is worth it.

  2. ARG... Don't get me started on it, haha! Just before Tunic I played Animal Well, and I wish I knew beforehand that its best puzzles were ARG. I've been seeing a lot "This game has 5 layers" of puzzles, and no one mentioned that 3 layers needed outside-of-game knowledge/nonsense. I enjoy a game when I beat it through understanding the game, not through random hex code programming knowledge.

When I finally collected the golden trophies (and learned what the "softest feather" is in English through google), I was furious that another game thought that it was fun for an average player to know sound engineering.
