The legend of Tunic: Tears of the Golden Path - Pointcrow's Tunic Supercut

[@eelis2]

Hey I also made Supercut of About Oliver's Tunic playtrough on his channel if you want more Tunic :D Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZfZimithMqNaLs

[@MrShinyObject]

I remember when i read that part at the end where it says "isn’t there someone you should show this to?" My immediate thought was "ah yes, i should bring this book to the librarian."

[@SupremeDP]

To be honest, the good ending being showing the manual to the heir is the one thing I found kinda lame about this game, so your train of thought is perfectly understandable, lol. I'm glad Eric liked it though.

[@zwryy7622]

I mean, he's been stuck there for ages and you basically made him remember his "true self". Pretty sick ending imo.

[@twells2389]

SAME!

[@galewin8942]

"Wait, that's been there the ENTIRE time???", the game.

[@blackmage1276]

I just lost the game

Watching someone else find the golden path for the door was absolutely amazing to watch. The second half of this game really does turn you into a maniac.

[@drnarwhal2888]

I have been scrawling away in my notebook trying to translate the runes inside the glowing trophy orb room like a madman for the past 4 hours.

[@TurboSpaceKitten]

This game is fucked and I love it. It's cruel. It just does and doesn't tell you anything. It feels a bit like outer wilds mixed with zelda. But also I feel like I'm actually losing my mind. I'm genuinely too stupid to figure out so much. And I suck at the combat. But God have I loved what I have played

[@ScootsLounge]

I find such a simple joy in watching people play Tunic for the first time. Like "Yes, my Tunicling. Fumble absolutely everything. You know nothing, yet everything at the same time."

[@TheEighthWorld]

Please keep making these, if you have the time. I’m sure they take a long time to create and I don’t think people appreciate them enough.

[@randomusername6]

+1, I appreciate the work you're putting into these edits

[@andrewvaldez8866]

@@randomusername6 +2 absolutely love the work and the little notes you add

[@phampletyt6808]

+3 I appreciate the time you put in to make these to ensure other people who don’t have as much time can watch them and enjoy them

[@noelthemighty]

+4 if it was a 12 hour playthrough, then the editing time was, at a minimum, 12+ hours also

[@Deadgye]

Doing the potion hero's grave before the other 4 is lol-tier routing.

[@aristizle8797]

It's what I did. I also did all of the quarry without the mask, so at one hp. Did too much exploring so I did a lot of stuff backwards. I had the sound dampening card on for the whole game, I pretty much played stealth assassin fox.

[@dantastic7]

@@aristizle8797 I did that too lol. I thought the bottom of the quarry was just a cool audio visual style and the game was forcing you into 1HP mode. I was all "woah man this is intense". I did all 3 gems before realizing what the tarot cards were and how to use them

[@topnotchindeed1536]

i cant believe this supercut edit went up before the actual second VOD of his playthrough

[@manongougne9971]

Where can I found the VODs ?

[@spearminter]

I really appreciate these supercuts so much, I watched all of the Outer Wilds ones and seeing this of tunic and reliving the experience of discoveries is incredible. Thank you seriously!

[@Andriak2]

From the type of games you choose, it seems like you really have the bug for these metroid-brainia games that outer wilds inspired. Great stuff, I love re-living these games through streamers. So good.

[@EMLtheViewer]

I would say that Tunic is more in the vein of FEZ than Outer Wilds, since FEZ is about collecting, finding secrets, and cracking codes (input sequences and ciphers) while Outer Wilds is more about raw discovery through exploration and putting together bits of information to gain the bigger picture. FEZ and Tunic are quite alike in many ways, really.

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

Man I love this art style. High quality lighting with low poly/low texture quality looks so good. And its timeless, it looks just as good today as it will in a decade. "I could do that the whole time!?" Sums up tunic perfectly. A second playthrough is wildly different than the first just from knowledge alone.

[@McBehrer]

I 100% agree with him; the Golden Path is one of, if not THE best puzzles in any video game

[@peanutbuttermancool3106]

Doubt you'll see this, but I really appreciate the fact that you did this, and will definitely check out more of your content. You've gained a fan. Thank you!

[@erythrotera5338]

It's so funny seing people play the game in the intended route, because the game seems actually balanced for it. During my first playthrough I somehow went from the east forest to the quarry, then to the frogs domain (which I thought was a stealth section because I had yet to figure out offerings) and then back to the quarry before I finally went down to beneath the well and did the intended path.

[@ShadowEclipse777]

By offerings do you mean the Stat buffs?

[@LepidoliteMica]

Funny thing is, for all that all of those are out of order, the Frog's Domain actually is _balanced as_ a stealth section, though by the time most people reach it in the intended progression they have the equipment and stats to just bumrush it. That's the reason why there's a weird focus on patrol routes that doesn't really pop up in any other section; the frogs are specifically positioned such that there's a pacifist path through them all.

[@RhiannaAtriedes]

Wait me too lol! I'm still playing though. Game is a bit tricky to figure out sometimes but I love old zelda esque exploration and puzzles.

[@strctlykilz]

I did everything the intended way but didn't figure out offerings until the siege engine, and I beat the first boss without a shield because I didn't find it right away lol

[@fletch-a-sketch9250]

I’m only halfway through the video, but Eric’s total refusal to use bombs is so frustrating. I spammed those things so frequently that by the end I was at +6 bonus bombs for each type

[@fffranks]

Man I just finished this game a couple days ago and I keep thinking about it. The golden path is probably going to be the most memorable puzzle I'll ever complete. I loved playing the game and I loved watching Crow play it as well. Thanks for making this supercut, it was lots of fun watching

[@SupremeDP]

The golden path was an absolutely AMAZING puzzle to figure out. The clues are in the pages you've been collecting all this time, it requires you figure out the holy cross in the first place, and it takes a good hour of hard investigation and note taking... IF you have all the pages. I did not expect Crow to engage in something that seems so out there and hard, but I guess the game does a great job getting you all invested in it so that you don't mind spending a BUNCH of time on it. Decoding the writing was the second best puzzle :U. Making it phonetic british english was an actual dick move though.

[@absolutelynot6203]

Thank you for the editing, having a highlight reel makes it so much easier to watch playthroughs of games like this ^^

[@ScootsLounge]

[@fluteplayer7mce]

This was so well edited. Perfectly pieced together. Thank you for making such a pretty video about this wonderful game.

[@randomness5435]

1:45:56 I love how the death count preemptively goes up

[@IFroZn]

Thank you once again for the work you put into this

[@arranr]

Thanks for cutting this together

[@stonerbland256]

I appreciate the counters for deaths vs bosses 😂😂 but wondering about the gauntlet because goddamn that was a long and arduous struggle for me I even ended up soft locking myself into the fight, I went back up the elevator, promptly died, and the elevator stayed up there, my spawn point being right before the gauntlet

[@ianhubble9973]

Funnily enough, the Librarian was the easiest of the 3 "key" bosses for me (only about 4-5 deaths)

[@DeadeyeViper]

So many tunic forks.

[@Aspectt1991]

I remembre discovering when fighting the siege engine that i could upgrade my stats lmao. I did the quarry before the siege engine too, it was torture lol Pointcrow found the dagger near the end, this game is fantastic

[@_prototyp]

One of if not THE best expiriences i had in a game ever.

[@doodleboi4744]

I haven't finished the game, and I dropped it a few months ago after not being able to beat any of the 3 bosses, but now I can't finish this video, because I wanna go play it again

[@chromonym]

If you don’t like the combat, there are options in the settings to make it easier - there’s no penalty for using them, as far as I can tell

[@edwiinandresmosqueramarulanda]

Using bombs a lot helps immensely in combat

[@fletch-a-sketch9250]

If the combat is too hard, you have a few options. There’s an infinite stamina mode that lets you shield and dodge as much as you want without penalty. Reduced difficulty cuts the amount of damage you take in half. And there’s a no fail mode that gives you infinite health. Don’t let the combat get in the way of the wonderful puzzles

[@Shelleloch]

You've probably done it by now but for anyone else reading this, Don't be afraid to use your "consumables"! You actually get a refill of them when you rest at the shrines depending on how many you've used total so far (that's what the numbers and >s on the items page mean).

[@Stratelier]

1:28:05 - "Okay ... the thing's gone." (with the same implications as that lab entry from Undertale about "the flower's gone.") My headcanon is that when you handed the completed booklet to The Heir, they turned it open to pages 7-8, the two-page spread depicting you vs. them.

[@Nachtder]

Thanks for making these, I absolutely love them

[@-_-0.0-_-]

really appreciate the effort you put into this

[@miklkilo]

If you went in the comments at the start of this please GO PLAY IT FIRST I SWEAR If you already played / dont wanna bother playing (its on you) then continue!

Nobody mentioning how he never found the slow motion item??? 😂

I love tunic so much

[@snowdekss8281]

Hey, thank you for this supercut it was sooo fun to watch !

[@tracychallice1099]

honestly knowing how much farther I got than him without dying is a nice confidence booster and I’m not trying to be like “oh haha he bad, I’m incredible” I’m just used to not feeling good at games so it’s nice to recognize sometimes

[@Nikolai0169]

The whole time since he got the shield i was waiting for him to figure out you can parry, such a shame he never got it. 1:55:45 oh damn thats Spectrobes music!

[@user-25352]

parrying can be powerful, but its hard to pull off consistently and is never necessary. So, not a big loss

Did it ever dawn on him that the holy cross is actually the D-Pad? Even when he was using it I don’t think it ever clicked for him. 😂

[@ThePenguinmassacre]

Hey Eelis, always love your compilations and you have amazing taste in games! I was wondering if you've heard of/played Lorelei and the Laser Eyes? It's a brand new puzzle game that I think you both enjoy on a personal level, but would also be a cool game to create streamer comps of. Keep up the great work friend!

[@Shteev91]

These first couple of minutes. So OTT acting. "OH It just drops you I to this, uhhh okay" As if he doesn't know that's the whole premise of the game and why it's a popular game for him to stream. "OH I CAN ROLL". 😂

[@butterstik]

In the case that he knew youd be right. But, most of the time he plays games that are recommended to him by his chat without knowing what they are really about, just he gets told to play them alot. It's called a blind playthrough if you didn't know the term

[@dnd402]

thanks

[@rayjchrist]

@pointcrow still didn't find the coolest secret in the game... the REAL mindblowing part

[@voltron77]

Tunic is such a good game.

[@Onionion852]

i wonder how long it took between the cut at 2:10:48 and 2:10:49... i had the same mistake on the top right tile of the path and it was frustrating to say the least

He never played link to the past??

[@malcolmpelletier2107]

To anyone looking for a hint on the game’s language: The pause menu says “Nap time”

[@KusaneHexaku]

eepy

[@Demonancer]

the one problem i have with this game is the lack of translation for the language. I think its a bit much to expect you to decode it yourself with pen and paper, and would have been better if there was an in game method of translating it as you figured it out, kind of like Chants of Sennar. Cause like, the casual gamer isn't going to be able to understand the dialogue of the ghosts and such, and thats very sad.

[@Shelleloch]

Not at all. "Trunic" as it's called is all actually just a different writing system of plain old English with each glyph containing usually a consonant-vowel pair, so when you're translating you straight up learn to read it quite quickly. And really learning the translation isn't _for_ the casual gamer since you can reach the true ending without doing so. Getting all the collectables only grants you a feeling of satisfaction and even more to decode, and that's if you even visit the trophy room. After that, it's wholly intended to be a community project since Tuneic is scattered absolutely everywhere. The casual player is going to just look up the translated manual themselves (which has been made by community members).

[@andonel]

[@dr.angerous]

Cool

[@baerithrina]

Aww another 98% playthrough of this phemomenal game. 🥲
