What are your favorite secrets in Tunic? What are your favorite moments? Ones that really surprised you or made you have a stupid big smile on your face for hours. For me it was the Golden Cross! That was so good!
I loved the part where I unlocked a massive door and got a page! Wow! ☺️
You can parry by pressing the shield button in quick succession. It has a pretty long delay, so you really have to time it.
But, if you successfully parry a melee attack, the enemy that got parried gets stunned, *and can be one hit killed.*
You can also deflect projectiles, with it being easier when the projectile is faster (looking at you, scav snipers)
@9:14
"I cannot reason"
" I will not unsee"
"This is Madness"
I think that the 3rd one is : This is insane
Just wanted to point out, the Ruin Seeker's don't have owners. The guide was explaining that the ruin seeker who owned the lost echo gave up on looking for it. So it is the lost echo that has an owner (a ruin seeker) not the ruin seeker themselves
You are definitely right and I realized that right after I published the video and thought "wow that was a bad take" lol
Man, just beat this game and i am blown away by the amount of lore.
Isn't it incredible! There is so much to learn and see! The fact that a small game like this was able to pack so much into it is awe inspiring to me! Do you have a favorite part of it?
I feel the need to point out that trunic is not a language, it's an alphabet. What's in the game is effectively encrypted English.
🤓
it's a language because English is a language. This discussion is about how it differs from english.it's not a unique language, not distinct from English in how it works, only the way it looks. If you can't comprehend what I mean from the context, then perhaps you shouldn't have commented, you hypocrite.
it's not a language, but a colang.
It’s not a language, nor an alphabet, it is a cypher. It is not an alphabet because it doesn’t encode letters- it’s not 1:1 to English characters. Each trunic character encodes a phonetic, they’re phonemes.
@@anincompoop25 isn't a cypher the thing you use to "translate" the text? Like, it's not the "translated" text itself, right?
Personally I'm inclined to believe the Power-Reason-Grace triumvirate is analogous to Zelda's Power-Wisdom-Courage Triforce, but adapted to Tunic's Golden Path lore.
Just got through this insane experience. I've not seen a game so actively antagonize your efforts to learn about it.
If you enjoyed that aspect of it, I highly recommend Fez :D
@@RodsKaden In truth, I didn't. Also, I hear the developer of that game is a prick.
Those unused chalkboards are so interesting, thanks for sharing them! Lots of horror in imagining being a voidtouched trapped in a sarcophagus forever, eek.
YES! Especially since it seems like activating the sarcophagus might squish them D:
@@RodsKaden You kill them I think to release their power. Game says that magic points are of the soul, which means only living creatures should give you them, but activating an obelisk gives you them as well...
@@tristanweide that gives me chills, so creepy
I kind of have to laugh at the Echoes of the Past, because Tunic (at the time I played it) has more people finishing the Golden Path on Steam than the Rightful Place ending. I haven't seen a game with this high of a completion rate in... I think ever!
Spoiler wall
I remember when I played the game and was like: "Why didn't you try talking this out before I killed you, Librarian?! It would've saved BOTH our lives!"
I absolutely agree! If games would have more "Talk" options we would avoid a lot of trouble 😂
A funny interaction could be meeting the librarian with the first page of the manual prompting him to, after a second, give you the gem.
Or he could just get confused for a minute before snapping himself out of his thoughts and fighting regardless, only to lament his choice seen when you can later talk to him.
Funny thing is, in my first play through I walked up to the Librarian thinking we would talk, because the arena was so small, then I started to freak out because he started to attack
I was like, hey I recognize that thumbnail!
Yeah, the Librarian definitely knew they were in a game cartridge. But I don't know how he came to that conclusion, just that he somehow did. I currently interpret the void crystals as bad sectors, corrupt data, or general wear and tear on the game cartridge. If we can assume the game is an old nes cartridge, and the universe has been 'active' this whole time, without a player, then it could have given the Librarian time to become self aware and start acting independently within the 'universe'.
Have you ever read Kid Radd? It's and old web comic about an nes character who's player disappears after he's done with the game. One day the rom gets dumped online and he gets liberated from the rom by another game character that goes around liberating roms. There are lots of Matrix references. But check it out, it's charming. But the Librarian strikes me and something familiar like that.
Oooo I really like that Wulf! I will definitely be keeping this theory in mind! I have not read Kid Radd before! Sounds interesting for sure!
9:11 Third line of the game cartridge chalkboard looks to me like it might be "This is madness", but I admit I may be reaching.
I see that too, but I didn't want to assume, not yet at least 👀
knowing that it has a manual in world, is a possibility that Tunic is a videogame after all (i mean inside the lore)
The golden path can be the circuits insde the cardtridge also. Mindblowing
I explored everything!
I will die here!
This is madness!
Could the how how how how thing really just be representing blowing air into the cartridge?
I’m late to the video here but you always blow me away with your videos!!
Re: manual saying “finite number of souls in the world” implies that the ruin seekers’ souls are really just one, or of the same finite supply. ORRR since we know the devs wanted this to feel like “a world you don’t belong to”, the ruin seekers’ souls are not of this plane/world. 🤔🤔
“Finite number of souls” I thought just might be a reference to data itself, that there is a certain amount of storage space on the cartridge world and so everything is cycled and recycled?
amazing video! i searched for months for videos covering the deeper tunic lore
Fun fact, at 7:30 the first chalkboard here was actually different at launch, and was changed in a patch
Yes! I thought of mentioning it but I ended up forgetting to add it!
This game is such a gem
6:05 power, courage and wisdom. From zeldas triforce?
I think the text on the devworld mural "Reason Power Grace" is a further reference to the three aspects of the Triforce, Wisdom Power and courage.
My assumption wouldn't be that the ruin seekers have "owners" but that the ruin seekers who gave up were the original "owners" of the echo ghost things.
Love your tunic videos!!!
Interestingly, the “void touched” 8:33 look like they are in a similar pose to the “hold a 3 secs” pose of the character
Since the void touched also seem to be a form of life prior to the ruin seekers, I theorize that they are parts of the game world that have resorted to praying for its destruction. The player character/ruin seeker uses the obelisks throughout their quest by praying to them in the same pose in order to find every page of the manual, traverse the golden path, and find the “ruin” of the endlessly cycling game-world that they are seeking.
Great video!
I feel the same way after finishing this game as I did after BOTW 😭 can't forget about it so I just research everything about the lore, secrets and all
SAME! They're just games I want more of all the time! But there is a lot to discover thankfully!
That’s strange considering how shallow BotW was
Fascinating video!
Just beat this game recently, and the symbols near the mouth of the cartridge, while I know say "how", struck me as being a combination of the B+L+Ow symbols instead, because of the old trope of blowing the dust out of a NES cart.
the three are also analogs for the triforce. Power, Knowledge, and Courage.
Great video. This game is such a treasure.
9:08 Last line seems to be "This is magic" not maze, to me. First line could be like "tethers universe" maybe?
The Legend Of Zelda was the first game cartridge that had a built in save feature, using battery-powered RAM. I could imagine the Librarian being perplexed by how that functioned. It seemed pretty magical to me as a 5-year-old.
I think the last chalkboard with the cartridge says:
- I cannot under(stand)
- I WILL not ____
- This is Madne(ss)
The letters in brackets are possible cut off
2:16 also the colors of the 3 keys
Reason, Power and Grace were clearly references to Courage, Strength and Wisdom - the TriForce. Given how strongly Tunic homages Zelda…
I want to interview this guy!!!! Your work for this game needs to be heard. Let me know if we can make that happen because of you I am sparked to finish this game and gained respect for it
Tank Fuse Contents looks to me like *Tunic* Fuse Contents?
Beautiful video to match a beautiful game. Subscribed :)
We have been going back and forth on this exact thing for a long time, but for this I felt that the evidence pointed more towards Tank. However, I am always open to more options!
@@RodsKaden Your statement makes no sense
I think that how the void-touched work is that they were normal fox things that sacrificed themselves to be used as power sources by touching "the void". Then, by praying, they generate the miasma stuff that can be used as fuel. They also respond to prayer, as shown by when they give attention to the player for doing so, and this wakes them up to continue praying.
perhaps he is saying "i will escape this maze" 8:58
this is madness
my buddy played the game about halfway thru... til he complained to me about having to hold in LT to target... told him you can just press r3 lmfao it blew his mind 🤣
Great video Rods! Keep it up! Also #birdpip
Thank you Inari! Glad you liked it! #birdpip indeed, hopefully you enjoyed the lil birdpip easter egg I put in there!
Do you have the translated manual available to the public? I'd love to see it
does the prayer sounds translate to words?
I'll save this video for after I have beaten the game. I don't want to spoil the experience
It occurs to me that the blackboards really read to me like dev notes from the creation of the game itself, as in, in real life. That would explain the english!
@7:30 that coffee ☕️ thing is in the corner of the room and it follows you around. It’s a robot
Point 3 on the chalkboard with the game cartridge, to me, looks like it says "this is madnes [sic]"
Has anyone made theories about the strange and forboding flickering pixels that exist in the dev world? Mostly near the mural, but I saw a set somewhere to the west behind some raised and ruined bridge. They definitely seem intentional... I get a feeling of being watched. Especially when I look away and a single pixel will just stop flickering and stay constant.... Like it is watching when I'm not looking.
Yes people have! Some have mentioned it in the lore discord!
From my experience it seems to be attached to camera movement so when it fully stops the flickering stops as well. To me it is just a graphical glitch but I am always open to thoughts and speculation. 🤔
Wow, if I had a nickel for every indie game I've played where the characters are self-aware they're in a game,
I'd have three nickels,
Which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened more than twice.
9:15 I'm pretty sure the bottom english line says "this is moronic"
For the game cartridge chalk board I read the English as “I cannot believe, I will not believe, this is madness”
Chalkboard second line is: “I will use magic”
#AwesomeRodsKadenVideo
Thank you Onyx! Glad you thought it was awesome! I always appreciate your thoughts!
Slorm is a play on the word / animal - WORM! So its not a slorem 😂
Tank? I read Tunic in that
Everything is hidden in this game & nothing is explained.
Classic "what do YOU think happened?" storytelling...
I feel like the general story is pretty easy to understand through context and visuals.
Why not translate it for the player when u plau it
I always like these videos until they get too lore-tesseractish. Too void-touched. I feel like Tunic is a game about the joy of sharing knowledge and the perils of becoming entombed within a world… it’s a powerful game when read in the context of how knowledge about games used to and is now shared… but reading it for a ‘true meaning’ is either an intentionally or unintentionally fruitless endeavour… do people want there to be something more to a story that the knowledge that someone once told a story? I love Tunic for bringing these questions up again.
For the love of god, drink a glass of water before recording, so many mouth noises
Kinda rude
