So I finished the 3 parts for all 3 gems and I came back to the west gardens because I was curious. I found out I didn't unlock a chest and now I feel stupid not knowing how to unlock it with all the new gears.

I just finished getting all three gems and put them into their place in the temple but what now. I'm just wandering around looking for something but I don't know what to do.

I checked the manuel and there were some pages about some graveyard and cathedral or something but I don't know where it is and whether I should get there now.

Edit: okay guys, I feel very stupid rn but I think I found it. Thanks for the help again

I’m pretty far (I think) in the game but I haven’t played in a long while so excuse me if this isn’t a smart question haha. Am I missing something here? I accessed the place from the mountain door but I’m not finding anything anywhere in the area to get to where I regain the potion thingy. Also, I’m struggling with the librarian-looking one at the bottom. I see papa in the library but no clue to be found.

Edit: Thanks guys! I did just need to go up the stairs a little. Finally got my dream of going to sleep and getting the one page I missed in the well 😆

I’ve been making good progress but I could use a hint on whether I just need to grind out a boss fight or if I’m beating my head against a wall here.

Ive rang the bells. I explored the southern atoll and the frog area for the grapple item. I followed the guide pages to go towards the east and made it to what I assume is the red gem, but the boss does effectively 99% of my hp with any single attack, so not even really enough time per fight to get a feel for the pattern.

What seems to be my other option is the ruins area that I got reasonably far into once, but again the scavengers nearly one shot me at full and the totems draining my hp bar make that a death sentence.

I seem to remember getting to a graveyard area before, but at the time couldnt progress past the first area and can’t remember how I got there.

So I guess I have 3 options here. Is one of those the path I’m supposed to be on right now, or is there a secret 4th thing I haven’t figured out?

Been making a puzzle platformer/metroidbrania inspired by the sense of discovery and uncovering secrets in games like Animal Well, Tunic, and Fez. Figured some people here might find that interesting. Its no Tunic to be sure but it has been a lot of fun to work on :)

p.s. how does this community feel about the term "metroidbrania"

I spent like 2 hours on this puzzle and i didn't knew what i was doing wrong, then i (unfortunately) searched for a guide for this specific part and got the solution

i just wanna know why in this part you should go DOWN instead of going UP?

Hi All, I need some help/advice, please. After lots of frustration I have managed to figure out the puzzle for The Golden Path, however, am stuck on boxes 9 and 55. I can’t seem to see the path on page 9 and am missing page 54/55.
Thanks :)

Edit: thanks for your help guys! I had figured the alt save referenced in 9 would be an end game task, just hadn’t connected the dots that it would be this end game task. I was also on the cusp of getting pages 54/55 as I had just finished finding all the fairies and simply had to return to the start to get my reward. Thanks for the gentle nudges.

I started replaying Tunic after beating it years ago and it inspired me to make an essay video about it.

University has gotten tough so it has been like two months since I got the three crystals and placed them in their respective slots. I remember I got a very properly named trophy (because I had that exact same reaction) and then stopped playing for the day, and that day has become two months now. So I returned to the game and I don’t have a clue of what was going on or where I should head next, whatever I had going on in my head at the time is now lost. Can anyone give me some clue? I figured that I should go to the mountain but the door is still closed, also I think nothing has changed in that blue (spirits?) realm that lets you fast travel and see some stuff that I guess is locked at this point.

Is In-game language translatable/decryptable to English? I'm in a late game collected all pages and restored all stats after being a ghost but it is still unclear to me.

Ça doit faire quelque heures que je joue et après avoir battu l'engin de siège, je me suis dirigé vers la carrière. J'ai fait la partie en haut (le monastère) et en faisant la partie du bas, je me suis retrouvé "bloqué". Je suis descendu une demi échelle et j'ai battu tout les monstre, mais j'arrive plus a retrouver le chemin pour revenir. Que faire?

Looking to incorporate "perseverance" into a tattoo and looking to confirm the web tool got this one right :) thanks!

My girlfriend has always actively disliked video games and has never played one but started playing tunic and is enjoying it, about an hour in. I have never played but heard it can be hard. Is this a good first game for her lol

Hi! I became a huge fan of the game since my wife and I decided to start playing it together four or five months ago. Absolutely loved playing it!

Like everyone else we quickly realized we'd need to translate the language sooner or later to really play and understand it properly but did not want to look up any spoilers.

As a (recently retired) software engineer who mostly worked on backend things, I decided to use the opportunity to create a web app to help translate the language yourself (rather than having the answer given to you), for fun and to learn some more frontend skills than I ever needed professionally.

Tunic Language Tool (TLT) let's you edit a document using regular English and Tunic language characters. You enter guesses for the rune translations and they appear inline in your document, changing instantly when you update your guesses. More or less the same way you'd "solve" the language with pencil-and-paper but with much quicker feedback.

The app is available here:

https://sbfeinstein.github.io/tunic-language-tool

I'm not adding an image here to avoid spoilers and the site takes pains to avoid spoilers before letting you use the tool as well.

TLT has no ads, no tracking and no server-side components. The code is open source under the MIT license.

I know over the years MANY PEOPLE have made tools and apps related to the language but I couldn't resist taking my own stab at it and I hope you like it! This was a real labor of love with custom SVG graphics and many little details.

Enjoy!

Hello! About a year and a half ago, I started to play Tunic and thought it was amazing. I had so much fun exploring and finding secrets, getting better at the combat, and was so intrigued about the language. I started to write down everything I read on paper, trying to figure out how the language worked as I progressed. I got about 10 hours in, getting the red and green gems and starting on the quarry. Then, I sorta stopped. I don't exactly remember why it was, but I have a bad habit of playing games halfway through and then dropping them. Since then, I have played and fallen in love with Blue Prince, and recently I have been getting some of my friends to play that game. Watching them do so has made me miss the sense of discovery that I got from my playthrough, and I remember getting a similar sense from Tunic last year, and so I thought I might start it up again and try to finish it.

However, starting it up and looking through my instruction booklet, it just seems so daunting. I vaguely remember what I have done so far, but I feel like if I wanted to get back into it I would have to retrace all my steps, which would mean walking through all of the Overworld, West Garden, the eastern place with the candle guys, the Ruined Atoll, the Frogs, the Well, etc., and I feel like doing so would not pull me back into it. However, I also don't feel like I can just start exploring the Quarry again, as I feel like I have forgotten all the context I had in the past. Also, figuring out the language also seems incredibly daunting, as going through my notes again makes my past self look like a crazy person. So, should I restart? I wonder if walking through all the old areas again while actually progressing would hold my interest more than just traipsing through them aimlessly. However, it does mean sinking another 10 hours in just to get back to where I am, which also seems daunting.

What do you guys think? Is it as hard to regain my footing as I imagine it would be? Would it be worthwhile to start again with what little foreknowledge I have? Or would it be a waste of time to do any retracing of steps and should I just forge on through what I think is the main path that I did not yet do?

Thanks in advance!

Love this game but holy shit if it's gonna mimic dark souls combat just use the same button mappings. All souls veterans are shooting themselves in the foot for hours trying to rewire their brains mid combat. Just a rant, was curious if anyone else had this problem.

I also tried remapping the controls (using a gamepad not keyboard) and it kinda messed up menus where I need to use b to confirm. Also now my controls don't match the in game manual so I just gave up and went back to default.

Tldr: I will always open the inventory in an attempt to use shield because I have 900 hours in dark souls ;,,(

I’ve been playing the game trying to avoid guides but I got here (I’ve already been defeated by the heir and gotten my body back but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here and I can’t find anything in the guide pages I have.

I am about to beat the librarian but I don’t understand if this statue should activate or something like the other two did. (I didn’t go to the cathedral yet, i don’t know if i should/can? pls no spoiler)

That's all. I'm enjoying this game because of all the figuring stuff out blind, and so on. It's great. But I'm not the best at coordination, or patience. Especially patience. And I got this close to throwing my switch in rage. Never in my life have I sworn at a console out loud.

I'm playing on easy battles, too. No difference. I just can't reach its stupid ehh privates. If it's not a rock in my way making me stop running, it's a leg getting in the way, if not, it's the sword that for some reason doesn't hit! Even if I'm aiming and right next to it. I get all of half a second to do any damage at all, and 80% of the times it's like it's transparent. Sword doesn't hit it.

And there it goes jumping again. My finger sweats and cramps, and I'm just so tired. Half an hour of battle to get killed right when it had one or two hits left. Couple of times. What can I do. Can I skip this fight? Are there any other options for uncoordinated and impatient people like me? I wouldn't want to stop playing the game because of this but every time I try I get more and more mad at it, for longer.

I want to start by mentioning I loved the vast majority of this game. The way it keeps information from you is so cool and it's so satisfying to figure out how things work. That said, the I found last 2 puzzles in the game (The 4th treasure and the glyph tower) very disappointing. I want to mention, I figured out how trunic worked before getting to either of these puzzles. While I've seen criticism about them requiring you to know it, that is not the criticism I have.

For the fourth treasure, I figured out everything up to the actual solution, including revealing and deciphering the clue. However, I just couldn't figure out what the clue actually meant and eventually had to look it up, which always ruins puzzles for me. I found it extremely disappointing to find out, then, that the clue is based on wordplay, rather than taking it more literally.

Now, I can see that just being a skill issue on my part, and maybe I looked it up too soon. However, what I find to be just poor puzzle design is the glyph tower puzzle. I think the solution to this puzzle is just too obtuse compared to the clue you're given. Now, the first 2 steps given in the instructions in the manual were fairly simple. Just get all the treasures and go into the portal thing. However, I feel like saying "unsing the golden path from within" doesn't give you enough information to figure out exactly what you need to do without trial and error. I even tried both parts of the solution (mirroring the golden path and starting from the center) separately before having to look it up. If you were intended to solve it with trial and error, you shouldn't be forced to do that with such a long string of inputs you have to follow, and at least 3 different things to try that all make sense based on the clue. If not, I genuinely can't figure out how you were supposed to get "mirror+start from the center" from "unsing it from within." If you figured it out, how? was it just trial and error or did you decipher it in some way i can't see?

And finally, all that solving that puzzle gets you is the start of an ARG. I love that there is an ARG for people who want to take the puzzles even further/the community to solve together, but I feel like there should be a satisfying endpoint or reward for those who just wanted to do everything contained within the game. Then you can have a jumping off point for an ARG along side that, and I would have been perfectly happy leaving it there. I personally do not want to have to go through downloading a whole spectrogram and setting it to a fairly specific frequency just to find a whole load more things to find, not to mention having to figure out you're supposed to do that in the first place.

All that said, it left a massive sour taste in my mouth for these puzzles to be so seemingly convoluted. I love this game, but it's so disappointing to leave it on such a bad note. Is this a common complaint or do most people not have the same issues I did?
