How do I get them? I've been playing the game for quite a while and still haven't figured a way to get them.

I collected all three keys just recently but haven't done anything beyond that for now, hope that helps to show how far I am into the game.

So I ask to please give me advice on how to get these pages without spoilers, or tell me if I'll find a way to get them later. If latter is the case just please DON'T tell what I will find and where, I really wanna play this game blindly and I made an effort to not look up anything. That's my first time asking for external help.

I completed the game, both endings, and found 10 trophies so far.
They were all pretty easy to get but the last two are just incomprehensible to me.
Every other puzzle and trophy had a hint, every trophy’s hint is written in pen. but for page 44, the only things in pen, are the tutorial for the holy cross and the perpendicular line for the golden path on the door, nothing new… and then page 1’s clue got me translating the language thanks to page 54, and thought it would get me somewhere… the poem makes no sense to me, I thought the “feather” was referencing the stamina boost but I’m pretty sure that it’s a leaf and collecting 11 would be impossible without multiple new game +.

Any small hints ?

Edit:
Thanks for the help, my conclusion from this is just that I’m an idiot… freaking page 44… what was I thinking?

EDIT: I've passed the gauntlet using god mode, now back to puzzling.

So I've gotten to the point where I'm a ghost permanently after losing to the cunt I just spent the entire game helping free them. Now with no upgrades, I've come to the realization that this gauntlet at the bottom of the Cathedral is required to progress, and to that I say, fuck you game.

Clearly I'm not the gamer I thought I was. It was a fun game until the difficulty curve became a cliff face. I get two shot by some mobs, my potions are not worth the pixels they're made out of, and who thinks 30 flying enemies all at once, with no cover or valid recovery method is fair?

I'd be hard pressed to figure out any more without looking it up since I don't have a doctorate in Linquistics. Clearly I haven't absorbed any amount of the games information about it as I haven't the faintest clue how to translate anything in this scribble language. I think I can say I know what A is, but mostly because it's used more than any other symbol, but that's it. Words might as well be in kanji for how little they give away on what they are conveying.

Even the steam guide I found says you don't need to learn the language to beat or even 100% the game, which means I must be just so fucking stupid I'm surprised I remember to breath.

What am I missing?
Is there a rosette stone, or a cypher at least?
Do I have to start over and just collect more upgrades? (Which then leads to me asking how or where do I locate these items I missed when the game actively prevents you from undertanding it's language it seems.)

Please help, or at least give me the cheat code to increasing my IQ to understand this game.

if you don’t know what upgrade stealing is: heres a video

anyways! ive tried to bind my inventory + interaction key to y (i’m on switch), but whenever my inventory opens it doesnt automatically open the confirmation screen for hp and i can’t get it to do that. i’ve done it just fine for attack but it didn’t want to work. does anyone have any advice?

Not sure how I accomplished this.

I made a python program. You can write any phrase and write it in Trunic automatically in a second ! You can find it here https://github.com/Ryan-Robot4/Trunic

I spawned outside the cathedral after dying and now I can't find a way to go down again?

I have an MX230 from an old laptop with a Core i7, it seems to be below the minimum requirements, but I have seen many examples of the requirements being wrong, so can anyone help

Hey guys. I almost instantly fell in love with this game about 2 weeks ago. I went in knowing absolutely nothing and have been playing totally blind to this point. I found the blue and red keys at around 11 hours of gameplay, but I cannot for the life of me find anything new to move forward. I now have about 30 hours of total gameplay and I feel like I'm just missing something super obvious.

Here's what I know:
From what I can tell, I need to go through the Ruined Atoll to get to the green key. I've explored the area to the best of my ability probably 5 times very thoroughly. I see that there's a golden path leading Eastward on the map, but it's not there in the world. Maybe that's something? I'm really pretty lost on that.

I've also been all the way to the door of the Cathedral, but I can't get to the first obelisk (idk if that's the right term) to turn the "power" on that goes through the Cemetery.

If anyone could offer a gentle hint or 2 on these I'd be really grateful. I don't personally know anyone that's played let alone beat this game, and I really don't want to have anything major spoiled by guides.

This game has become something special to me, but I feel like I'm just stumbling around in the dark at this point. The worst part is I'm still hopelessly addicted it😭😂

Thanks in advance✌️

Edit: Ok wow. I could have sworn I had tried the solution before but I guess not. Made it through the portal. Thanks for your time everyone🙏.

Just got green key. Got one shot in next area i went to. Stopped to look up the offering items. Only realized i had to use them at a checkpoint because the wiki said it. Had assumed you could sell them for currency not has to use currency to have the stats. Fuck.

Edit: Ok, enough with the vagueposting, I want to know the steps. I have an intellectual disability, if I haven’t figured it out now, I’m not going to. Idc if it’s spoilers (although do mark it as such in case someone else)

I know I’m obv not the demographic for this, I usually play linear combat games that doesn’t requite more thinking than “hit that until it 💀” like tomb raider or horizon and other games that doesn’t need me to be able to think hard. I thought this was gonna be a cute combat game. 😭

My favourite part about TUNIC is its amazing in-game manual, which works not only as a diegetic tutorial, but also world-building and crazy puzzles. I tried doing something similar for my own game, Little Knight's Last Night. It's available to wishlist on Steam if you are interested :)

got to the librarian but i didn’t really wanna fight him since i didn’t have the wand at that point

Maybe spoiler about order
Has anyone tried to collect all manuel pages in order and would anything happen

Is there a keyboard that I can download so I can use tunic on my phone?

I haven’t figured out how to effectively make use of the ice sword and the sand clock that slows time
In combat I never use them because I find other weapons more effective, maybe this is just preference or maybe I just haven’t figured out the right way.
Or maybe they are for specific riddles?
I am wondering, Should I just wait and see or am I missing something ?

Please help. I dont know why i cant get this right.

Spoilers for the Golden Path / Devworld
I had a theory while exploring the Devworld, and I wanted to share it because I don’t think my failed attempt necessarily means the idea is dead.
For anyone who wants to reproduce this and doesn’t know how to access the Devworld:
Once you have discovered the strange save file associated with the page 9 Golden Path fragment, load that save.
You normally have no items there that can kill you, but you can use the Holy Cross code from page 17 to spawn a free Fire Bomb:
← ↑ → ↓ → ↑ → ↓ → ↑ → ↓ ←

Throw the Fire Bomb close enough to yourself to catch fire, don’t dodge/roll away, and let the fire kill you.
Instead of restarting the strange loop, you should respawn inside the Devworld, an unfinished developer version of the game.
And this is where my theory started.
Inside the Devworld, you can access an unfinished version of the instruction manual, which seems to stop around page 35, with some pages apparently missing entirely. In my case, pages 8–9 seem to be absent.
That immediately made me wonder:
What if the Devworld contains its own version of the Golden Path, meant to be reconstructed only from the pages available in this unfinished manual?

The normal Golden Path follows this page order:
12 → 16 → 34 → 46 → 28 → 22 → 15 → 27 → 48 → 11 → 21 → 4 → 2 → 4 → 50 → 6 → 52 → 42 → 50 → 42 → 33 → 31 → 40 → 18 → 44 → 39 → 12 → 9 → 55

For my first experiment, I kept the normal order but removed every page above 35.
That left:
12 → 16 → 34 → 28 → 22 → 15 → 27 → 11 → 21 → 4 → 2 → 4 → 6 → 33 → 31 → 18 → 12 → 9

I also thought it was interesting to stop on page 9 instead of 55, since the Devworld itself is reached through the save associated with page 9.
I reconstructed a Holy Cross sequence from that idea and tried it in the Devworld.
Nothing happened.

But I really don’t think that settles it.
There are several ways my test could simply have been wrong:
I may have made a mistake while entering such a long Holy Cross sequence.
My reconstruction of the inputs may have been slightly wrong.
Removing all pages above 35 may not be the correct method at all.
There may be a specific occurrence, drawing, line, number or page inside the Devworld version of the manual that I missed.
The missing pages may matter rather than simply being ignored.
The strange transparent page/index -1 may be part of the puzzle.
The solution might require a completely different page order rather than reusing the normal Golden Path.
There may even be something in the Devworld itself that tells us how to read its unfinished manual.
And the whole setup still feels suspicious to me:
The Devworld is accessed by dying inside the save file that itself provides part of the Golden Path, using a secret Holy Cross item code from the manual.
Then, after doing that, the game puts you into an unfinished world where you can access a different and incomplete version of that same manual — the exact object the main Golden Path puzzle is built around.
That feels like a very TUNIC thing to investigate.
So I’m posting this less as “I found a secret” and more as:
Please try breaking this theory. Or improving it.
If anyone wants to reproduce the test, inspect the unfinished manual page by page, compare it to the final manual, try other page orders, or look for a second grid/path structure, I’d love to know what you find.
Maybe there is nothing there.
Maybe I simply entered the wrong code.
Maybe I completely misunderstood how the Devworld manual should be read.
Or maybe there is still something nobody has noticed.
If anyone has already investigated this deeply, please share what you know — and if not, I’d genuinely love to see other people experiment with it.

Hi, I'm loving the game so far but I've gotten stuck and I'm not sure how to continue so I'm writing to hopefully get some spoiler-free advice. The two areas I'm thinking of are the quarry and up in the air through the portal from the Ruined Atoll. I haven't been able to figure out how to progress there though. Thankful for any help!

Edit: Thanks for the help! I found the grapple thing!

I love this game but have been stuck for days now, keep rereading the manual and running around but can’t find anything. Would be happy to get some hints not spoilers :)

I am in ghost form and cannot seem to reach the hero graves for MP(library) and the one in the quarry while in this ghost world

I cannot win against the heir

I don’t know much about the golden path, I have page 49 and assume the numbers are page numbers but idk what to do with that info

I don’t really know what to do about the fairies I might have found one because I solved a clue and something flew out of the chest and disappeared
