I had such a fun time figuring out all the secrets in this game, the puzzle design gives you just enough info to make you feel like a genius for figuring it out.
So true! It was one of the best gaming experiences. I'll be putting guides up for everything, before going deep into the ARG, but I'm trying to structure them in a way that allows people to maybe solve things on their own (by starting with the hints before giving away any actual solutions.)
Much unlike a different game that almost 2 years later still hasn't had its secret solved because there was no proper help in figuring it out.

Which game is that?
Must not be FEZ. Because it's final puzzle is still not sovled properly avter a decade lol
When I figured out that each of the pages had a golden line, I was so excited! I felt like a genius!
Then I put it all together. It took a while, some pages puzzled me for a bit.
And I tried it. And it didn't work.
Eventually, after I deciphered half or more of TUNIC's runic language, I caved and looked it up online.
I was missing the one dash from P52.
Just like that, with one little line, a great discovery and achievement was stolen from me.
It's the only thing I regret.
For me it was the fact that it had been almost blatantly in your face for hours. And even though you reviewed the manual countless times, every time your poured over it something new revealed itself that had been there from the beginning. Its just brilliant.
I traced the golden line correctly across all the pages. But when I entered the sequence at the door, it never did anything. Thought I had traced the path wrong, went over all the pages, tried again, still nothing. So I looked it up here. My path was right, I just kept getting the inputs wrong! Similar issues in other fairy puzzles. Frustrating, but glad I gave it a go before looking it up.
I missed that one tiny line too, but I didn't need to look anything up, my girlfriend noticed it! Teamwork!
I knew exactly which dash you meant without even needing to check, had the exact same thing happened to me - it was the only thing I had off after my first go. I never got around to solving the language (yet!) but I scoured through the manual again double checking my work and when I spotted that dash I *shouted* at it like it had personally insulted me.
I managed to get it right, but this was probably one of my biggest gripes with the puzzle. Because it's so long, it's fairly easy to get one part wrong and either need to re-check all of your work, or just look it up. I think it also turned into a tiny bit of a slog towards the end once I had already figured out how to solve it, but needed to write everything down. Some of the parts of the puzzles were really cool (like the save data part), but others just felt like busywork to me. I think I'm the odd one out here, though, since so many people refer to this as one of the greatest gaming puzzles ever, while I felt it was solidly above average.
Hearing the melody as the door opens was the most beautiful moment of this game, I almost cried out of pure pride. So few games made me so incredibly good as this one as I figured out the secret, and it was doing it while I was solving the fairys, staring at the pages for so long made me realize the gold lines all over and with the holy cross recontextualized, made me realize (a little late) I must jigsaw it to uncover it.
this game deserved so much more attention. its amazing
I 100% agree. It's pretty crazy that it hasn't received much more attention.
@@FuryForged People thought it's just a shallow Zelda knock-off for kids, not realizing it's close in depth to Fez. Underappreciated masterpiece of a game for sure :(
@@FuryForged My favourite thing about the game IS the manual itself. The attention to detail is amazing and its such a good way of world- and storytelling
Eh, i felt it was a niche game for a community. the puzzles are not really singleplay focused making it kinda boring to play alone. If you were not there to enjoy the game in discord, well theres nothing left for you now. just follow the guide.
conbat is aweful, just one little sword the entire game.
I just completed it a couple days ago! So cool to have those "aha!" moments, and adding each part of the path to my notes. The one page that I had a problem with was page 52, where the crossthrough line for the stop wasn't obvious to me, and I had to go back to figure that out when my code didn't work on the first attempt.
Oh and I nearly forgot to mention; it was your fairies guide that put me onto this game in the first place. I saw the guide and thought, if FF is making a video about it, it must be a pretty cool game. I don't wanna spoil myself by watching the video so I'll go check out the game first. A few days and a true ending later, I can say I'm glad I did.
The golden path was a wonderful puzzle. It really makes you feel like an omegabrain
Absolutely loved this game and its puzzles.
that was incredible, never heard of any games where you use a book with markings to progress
Had no idea how to solve this puzzle nor the patience so I just did the walkthrough. Kudos to those that pushed through it. Way too cryptic for me.
I noticed really early on the suspicious gold lines, but finally having it contribute to a puzzle in the end was so satisfying.
Wow that is some real attention to details.
love Tunic and the Golden Path puzzle sequence, there's even another enigma of this game that I rarely see people ever mention it: the endgame ARG. Its elaborate and the payoff was mindblowing for me, I highly suggest looking into it if you really love the game!
I've already recorded footage for another 10 more videos, including everything known so far with the ARG and more.
I definitely plan on covering all the things :)
Opening the door always gives me chills.
I really liked the obelisk fairy in the lower East Forest. Solving that puzzle helped to prepare me to solve the secret of the golden path.
I put the path together by taking a screenshot of each page on the golden path and then using Adobe Illustrator resizing and fitting each path onto a screenshot of the board. I then traced a golden line through the whole thing and wrote out the inputs in a notebook and got the sequence right on the first try. Painstaking, but so worth it
Just finished getting the platinum on ps5 since they added it to the ps+ catalogue.
I had to really fight the urge to look up the complete button combination for the golden path because something was apparently wrong with the combo i made. I did eventually figure out that I was missing a dash from page 44 (the one that is outlined on a golden door).
Managing to solve it was so satisfying.
I caved for the glyph tower though. Seeing the complete solution plus the secret audio file with the secret wave pattern was just wild
Holy crap :o
This is so unbelievably in depth I love it. My mind is blown.
Like actually what the hell hahahaha
And the next thing is even more insane.
never in my life would i figure this out. amazing thou
Spoilers for something about this game you can't unlearn:
When I cracked the secret of the language, I felt like I'd learned how to read again for the first time. Oh, I'll never forget it! When I read my first sentence in Trunic, it was like a whole new section of my mind opened up. I love this game to pieces.
Did you learn to read the language just based on the stuff in the booklet??? HOW?
@@thespeedyyoshi one of the memo pages (I believe 54) is the page that tells you how to decipher the language. It's the only page you need however it takes a lot of trial and error and is not typical.
@@thespeedyyoshi trust me - if you’ve invested enough in the game (and the game WILL make you invested), the challenge flies by. I took on the challenge as a person that has never interacted with language translation in their life, on and off over the course of nearly a year, and I don’t regret a second of it. Try 100%ing tunic!!! It’s about the most rewarding thing I’ve experienced in a video game
@@thespeedyyoshi Believe me, it took me weeks! But it can be done, and it's AWESOME. I regrettably had one tiny piece of the puzzle handed to me accidentally online, but it can definitely be puzzled out from the complete manual. There is a significant hint on the page with the overworld map, and on Page 54...
@@thespeedyyoshi Personally, I used the Controls page as a Rosetta Stone, and you can guess a few words and phrases in other places if you consider the context.
One of the best videos i had ever seen. Thank u man.
Thank you so much!!! I was having hard time reading Reddit threads that just made the puzzle more confusing. The visuals really helped
Excellent. I'm glad it helped!
I already am fiending for those next secret videos!
I had this puzzle pretty much cracked - except for page 12. I was reading the square as the clue to trace with the holy cross, since that’s the line that’s gold. Of course now that you point it out I can see what they were up to, but I’m bummed I couldn’t figure that one out.
Same. Why are we following the blue lines here? Was the only square I didn’t get and a pretty important one!
I was wondering about „why on some pages I can see those yellow line details” and „how can you figure out the door code??” But DAMN this would take me insane amount of effort on my own… which unfortunately I don’t have.
The manual was physically printed, scribbled on, and scanned. That coffee stain is a real one.
I also love the golden path. It's my favorite puzzle.
Actually the pages are based off a blank manual with all the scuffs, tears, coffee stains, etc on it and then they scanned the blank pages in and put the digital pages over it. It was revealed in a very recent interview with the lead dev who showed off loads of cool stuff
This Game is so underrated.
I absolutly love the Graphik and all these awesome Secrets.
I would love to play it for the first time again 😂😂
Me and my friend are not eanglish speakers and could not translate game language. But we figured out how to solve this.
Me to my friend: look! This cloud seems like puzzle! But where we must use it?
Friend: wait... Is this page shares the number with golden path puzzle?
And then we see all pieces of path hidden in pages. It was greatest satisfing moment in game.
Tried to input the code nearly 10 times and assumed I had the puzzle wrong. If anyone is having trouble getting the code to work, it might be your d-pad. I have an Elite Xbox controller and was using the circular d-pad. Swapped it out for the more accurate + d-pad and got the door open the very next attempt.
Having to put in the whole thing in one go without any feedback on where you failed is probably the weakest part of the puzzle.
finding out about the holy cross was one of the most enlightening moments i've ever had in a game like this
I loved doing this puzzle, I wanna do it all over again
It's too bad inputting the codes doesn't work half the time. I have tried the carpet puzzle probably 50 times in a row. I have no idea what the problem is. I have tried several codes from different places as well as tracing it from the carpet which is at a 45 deg angle which reduces your chance of getting the orientation right. Am I too slow? Does my d pad work well enough? Should I even try the golden path which has over 100 characters?
I finally opened the door thanks to this video, your a real one
Oh good, I'm not the only one who solved the door by taking a screenshot, blowing it up by 500%, and then screenshotting and cropping all the other page sections into their squares.
figuring it out is fun.
the golden path itself, as someone who might be dyslexic because i easily get lost in long, long lists, is probably one of the worst.
good god it gives me anxiety just looking at the final solution.
and i assume it has to be done perfectly.
i could open the smaller doors just fine, that's long enough....
instead of using a list just follow a diagram of the path as you input directions, just remember that the timing is a bit lenient, two seconds can be surprisingly forgiving.
@@Ghorda9 100%, I have no idea how people can do these things with a list of the same four words over and over again. My brain could instantly transliterate the code from the visuals; so shockingly quickly that I'm going to have to use such visual depictions for any strange sequences of inputs like this in the future.
@@minerman60101 just be careful of overlaps.
I used sticky notes on a big table! Such a great puzzle!
This game is awesome, I've already got the platinum by myself and felt so good. I've never imagined that the runics could be translated into English. I just thought it was gibberish.
Solving this solo was one of the most rewarding things I've ever experienced in a game...
I just solved it an hour ago. I got stuck with page 9 as my last one. Solving all of these solo felt so rewarding, especially since I saw some of the gold lines early game and was so confused by it.
I loved solving The Golden Path puzzle. It was amazing.
I remember the save file one stumping me for the longest time.
as a gigachad noita player I do not believe I will need this video to solve it... so have a good day and imma go play tunic... right after a "short" round of noita...
The way the game uses the manual is absolute genius. You don't unlock things in Tunic, you unlock the knowledge about those things.
if anyone is getting to inputs wrong do this to help.
Pause game, options, accessibility, auto open sequence assistance (switch it on)
Hope this helps!
I kind of feel bad that I needed help for some of this, but then again I only got one hint:
You have to use all of the boxes.
I got myself stuck trying to use the "Holy Cross" on the Golden Path rather than decoding the whole thing.
After playing Animal Well and realizing the depth and scope of the secret bunnies and unicodes, I couldn’t help but think, “Man, Tunic’s puzzles ain’t got shit on this.”
Then realized that’s because Tunic’s puzzles aren’t as obscure as fuck, making it the better game for people who aren’t completely insane.
Man, the lengths gone to create these intricate puzzles is so impressive to me, I only did a few myself, looked up most, idk, like I think it’s cool and all but it gets to a point where I’m not playing the game anymore, I’m just sitting there for hours trying to solve these puzzles, and the rewards for the puzzles just aren’t there, great game, banger of a game, kudos to those who had the patience to solve them! I’m more of a action oriented gamer, I’d rather try and solve the puzzle of combat(sekiro) than sit there all day with a pen and paper, it’s fun, just not to the lengths the game takes it, if more games like this come out I’m still playing them, loved animal well.
This game looks so cool
1:25 I never understood what that picture meant, I thought it was telling me there were 22 secrets to find or something, but still figured out that the squares were corresponding to page numbers out of a random thought
thks alote!!
I tend to tell people interested in trying this game that some of the secrets/puzzles were just not fun for me. For some this might be the best puzzle they've ever had the pleasure of solving, but for me I found it far too tedious and ended up looking it up on google. I just wanted to see the "True" ending and it was a little disappointing to find out it was hiding behind one of the longest puzzles in any game I've ever played. Aside from that I loved the game to bits.
Yeah, I agree. My boyfriend said " I think it's clever". I said the devs needed to be throat punched for this one. 😂
@@scorpionzdezignz It's just one guy. You can throat punch him yourself if you want. Personally I loved every second of this puzzle. :)
Never played or heard of this game but it's secrets and music reminds me of Fez (2012)
It is sometimes referred to as a spiritual successor of Fez. It's also absolutely filled to the brim with secrets and crazy ARG stuff.
Fez made me so happy as a kid with its cool 2D 3D mechanics
@@FuryForged Its also quite similar to the game "La Mulana" which I highly suggest fans of cryptic secrets should check out.
I thank you for making this because although it was easy to see that Tunic is a very special game, I lack the patience to get the most out of it and lost interest quickly despite its artistic merit. This lets me understand its value as a game I appreciate but will never finish.
This looks beyond insanely difficult and cool
Surprisingly it’s not too unreasonable. Keep this in mind: this game puts you in a mindset of scouring these pages throughout the entire game, with plenty of secrets behind everything. If you spend the time to get to where you can actually solve this puzzle, it almost feels like the puzzle pieces fall into place and it feels incredible.
@@danboio1251 wowza
@@danboio1251 Agreed, it's logical enough that if you stick with it the puzzle falls into place in a way that's quite enjoyable. Definitely not as inscrutable as some of the noita mysteries, which to be fair aren't designed to be solved by most people alone.
Yeah when I saw this it looked so clear to me, but I know I wasn’t about to decipher all of that, I had other stuff to do
jesus i figured the numbers were pages but i though the path you had to follow was the path with the "?" save file which reduced to amere 7~8 pages never i would think you had to follow all pages.
also correction you dont need to return to the living form to access the "?" save file, i was able to do it because i killed the heir only missing the ATK upgrade and choose to move to new game+ but then i wanted to returne to my prview save file and went on load, after choosing the wrong save file and loading the new game+ file a second time. i went back to the load screen and the "?" file appeared.
5:05 I randomly had it way early somehow, i was about to load the game and decide if I should go for the red or the blue key, and it was there. And as we know, all 3 keys are needed to enter the combat where you become a ghost, so idk if it was a bug or you can actually get it earlier.
Where are y’all getting the code for the golden obelisk at 35 secs??? At that point I had all the page’s except page 48,49 and I didn’t see that code anywhere 😑
Feels like Fez all over again...
EXACTLY!
Just completed the golden path and was almost ready to throw my controller. Messed up probably over 50 times
I wish I could wipe my memory and solve this puzzle for the first time again. This was easily the best puzzle in gaming history and I’ll die on that hill.
I know you said you get an achievement for grabbing the last page, but does it alter anything if you grab it first/before completion?
What I meant was that you get an achievement for getting all the pages.
@@FuryForged ah ok thanks for the reply and keep up the good work i love your content

YOUR
WISDOM
If I was younger I would have challenged myself to solve this by myself. 40 year old me however is going to look up the password.
oh its tunic! dang i havent played yet i thought this was noita haha
WTF I would never in a million year figure this out..
I cannot, for the life of me, get this door opened. 😢 I figured out the code, wrote it down, twice, and made sure it was the same as yours (it is) and just straight looked at yours instead. I don't know if I'm just not inputting fast enough or what. It's so frustrating.
There might be a setting in the options menu that could make it easier for you!
@@FuryForged I'll check it out. My bf suggested using the hour glass but that wasn't helpful. Lol appreciate ya replying.
rly liked this puzzle... except for the part where there was no way to know u were supposed to quit out while on the mountain to get the extra save file or whatever it was that added it i got all others by myself and i thought i had gotten page 9 since at that point in the game you would have 27 pages found and if u go to page 27 that "path" fits in on the page 9 slot
so yea only thing i ever had to look up in this game but after trying for 3 hours it just didnt feel as rewarding
youtube recommending me this now is nice because its narc type community is really putting me off from playing it aka the people who diss on valid negative reviews saying nothing but "skill issue" when people complain that the puzzles are way to complex or the combat is terrible.
Is there a tunic playthrough on this channel that I'm missing?
No, I just played Tunic on my own time and didn't stream it.
I've done the combination so many times and nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Btw I am using the d-pad/arrow keys.
There's a strikethrough in the top right corner box that's easy to miss, that might be it. If you think you have everything correct, you could google an image of the completed golden path chart and compare it to yours
The save file does not require you to progress as far as you said to appear.
What does the Tuneic translate to when opening the door?
"share your wisdom"
First of all: this puzzle is absolutely genius.
It is, however, not fun for digital console players.
This is the type of riddle i consider "too difficult for the average player"
wait the secret save file has another secret????
I stumped upon the page 9 solution on accident and was very confused
Hey! Did you figure it out? Have you tried checking out that screen for yourself?
I wish I could erase everything I know about this game so that I could play it blind once again.
God this game is gonna take me forever But I'm not gonna stop till I get the true ending
It's worth it!
@@FuryForged Thanks for the comment I'm going to try my best! This video is diffidently going to help so I can remember the code when I get all the other pages.
I haven't gotten around to playing this game properly so there is only one thing I want to know, is there anything in the game that's permanently missable? like secrets or collectibles?
Nope. You can even continue playing after finishing it in order to acquire anything you may have missed.
@@FuryForged Ok that makes me fear the game a lot less because for someone like me who really likes *knowing* things, the game being specifically designed to *not* tell you things is very very daunting.
It all comes together very well as you play. But if you don't want to 100% it or get the "true" ending, then a normal playthrough is simple enough. But, like I said, even after beating it, you have a choice to continue playing OR enter NG+ (and even if you chose NG+, the game creates a new save for you, so you can keep playing on the old one if you want to 100% it.) Lots of friendly options.
@@FuryForged Alright cool, also another question, I remember there being some sort of easy mode, can you still do everything with that enabled?
Yup. You can enable/disable infinite health and/or infinite stamina at any time while playing, and those don't disable anything at all (including achievements.)
hello there
Hello!
a conversation amongst gods
God I hate being stupid. It would have been so fun to figure this out on my own :(
Why does nobody explain how to get the hints to show up on the path
How to get the hints to show up? Do you mean how to obtain each manual page?
I cant type this code wrote for the lide of me >:(
Much of the hidden content in the game seems like something that couldn't be understood unless working backwards from the answer....
It's all perfectly solveable, particularly if you translate the runic text, which is totally doable with patience.
The last page should of had a boss battle.
If anyone has difficulty with the d pad, try the keyboard
I don’t see how p. 4 leads to p.2…
I don't see how page 50 leads to 6
i think my biggest issue with this game is that its all in its own language and at no point, will the game auto translate all of it. and i get to some people that is the fun. for me, it took away a big chunk. i would look at a sign for advice and get lucky if one of those words was in English. i enjoy puzzles, but i dont have the time, attention span, or patience to learn a a whole new language to start a puzzle.
This game is neat but it was just way too cryptic (and the combat was too difficult) to even beat things normally for me, so I quit very early on.
Hello there
Hi, Heilo
Hi obi-wan kenobi
I disagree in that when 99% of your game is a certain style of gameplay & level of challenge, having a sudden massive change and step up in difficulty/crypticness for a true ending sort of spoils things. I like to scratch the completion itch but it's not very fun when a game takes you through a tough, but fair world and then all of a sudden slams a massive wall in front of you. Maybe I'm dumb or maybe it's just being too old and not having enough time to play games as much.
I’m so glad I watched this instead of figuring out myself. Although it looks clear and doable now, I didn’t want to spend a ton of time doing one big puzzle, anyone else’s thoughts?
I actually did it on my own in the game and it was extremely satisfying. It took a lot of time solving it, but once you realize the numbers on page 49 reference pages in the manual it's not too difficult.
I got the idea to draw it out on a big piece of paper but wasn't sure if it'd work like that. You start to notice it's all connected and the rest falls in place from there
Page 12 didn’t make any sense to me. You trace out the blue path not the gold? Prevented me from solving it myself as just couldn’t start the right way
Sorry to cross games on you but has anyone tried this for the eyes?
Imo it wasnt that great of a puzzle, its good dont get me wrong but when I completed it I felt less excited than when I started being able to translate the language of the game, but still, its indeed good
Yeah… absolutely no way would of figured all that out💀💀💀💀
WER KOMMT DENN AUF SOWAS?!!?!?!
Im not going through this.this isn't my Bible
Page 42 was just mean 😅
I like great secrets so I'm not gonna watch this video yet. Is this game worth the 28 Euros?
I would say it definitely is, especially if you enjoy secrets. This entire game has multiple layers of them, and exploring it is great. The combat can be difficult-ish for some, so keep that in mind. Apparently, there's also an update coming soon, or so I have heard.
To add to Fury's reply: the visuals and sound design for this game are beautiful. You can really tell the amount of care that was put into it, it's very polished. I'd say that in combination with everything else adds a lot of value.
If you enjoy games like Fez, then absolutely - it was pure magic. DON'T look up solutions.
Most of Tunic's puzzles are fair, but I found this way too frustrating and just looked it up.
Maybe it’s just me but this doesn’t seem fair.
