You may find a page mapping out an area you haven\u2019t visited yet and, upon it, lie little hints which only make sense once you\u2019ve reached the location. It reminds me of how I used to read Pok\u00e9mon walkthroughs from cover to cover as a child, jotting down little notes in the margins about which Pok\u00e9mon I\u2019d like to catch in each route. Tunic\u2019s manual is also where I found the secret which came to dominate most of my time with the game &#8211; the Holy Cross.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its placement on the manual\u2019s inventory page, I was convinced the Holy Cross was a type of special item hidden somewhere in the world. Yet, by the time I\u2019d reached The Quarry &#8211; an area whose dark colour palette and industrial aesthetic made me think the game\u2019s end was drawing near &#8211; I had seen no sight of the Holy Cross. (Or so I thought\u2026) Not wanting to miss anything, I decided to put the main quest aside and instead set myself a limit of three hours to carefully explore every inch of the world in search of the elusive Holy Cross.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games-of-2022-tunic-held-the-best-puzzle-solving-moment\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
