How to unlock the Game Over achievement in TUNIC - Definitive Guide

For completing the game without completing the manual. If you complete the manual first before trying to beat the game you will get a "the end" as opposed to a "game over"

UPDATED:
It is mentioned that you can actually do this with having completed the manual as you can smack the heir and the fight will start as normal to get the bad ending.
- Thank you for the suggestions in the comments such as from SamWSmith.

Yes, you can get Game Over and then pick right back up where you were progress-wise. Choose Retry.

Just wanted to throw in as long as you don't open the mountain door you are good. You'll know the mountain door because it's the dumbest series of directional button inputs I think I've ever witnessed in a game before. Also you get the ach for collecting the manual pages AS SOON as you get the last one; or at least I did at the door. I thought I'd missed it but I hadn't.

Yeah, I had to have someone else do the code for me because there was no way in hell I'd ever be able to do it correctly because I screw up too much. laugh

But, anyway, if you don't want a second complete playthrough, beat the boss first, and after the credits, hit retry to continue going after pages.



After the credits roll if you completed the manual, you can only select New Game Plus.

I messed up and got all the manual pages before the final boss so I had to replay on a new save to get this, took me about 5 hours with no damage no stamina drops on.

So I’ve managed to beat the game with only 9 manuals left is it possible to get all the other ones in ghost mode just because there’s some parts of the map that corrupted and it’s worrying me making me think I’d have to do it all again?

You can get them all and you can also change back from a ghost if you get all of the heroes graves

After completing the manual, there is no last boss, just a scene.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Due to pedantry, I always try to find everything at once by myself. I don't like looking at hints in advance. But this time I went and read it. And it's good that Im did it otherwise would have collected everything before the end of the game and would have to go through it again

Sleeping in the bed at the old house makes the overworld normal again (after getting your body back).

And I highly doubt the Thank you for playing achievement is missable.

is it possible to get this achievement if you didn't collect the magazine, and ended the game not through the gate, but by killing the heir? Because with time dilation it's easier than picking a combination)

I think the moment you open the gate at all this is no longer possible. I can't confirm however.

If you missed this one, like me, you can just start a game in new game plus You will have to ring both bells, collect all three keys and restore your body. However, you will have all your upgrades and will have seen most short cuts by now. I managed to do it in around an hour extra. Turn on invincibility to make it even faster

So, if I collect the manual before the boss, the game ends and I need a second playthrough to reach the boss.
If I don't pick, let's say, the last page and go straight to the boss, do I need a second playthrough to pick that up?
Or the game loads the last save?

I finished the game with the true end, but I didn't do the "bad" end, so I don't have this achievement "Game Over". What should I do to obtain this achievement? I don't want play again from the begining :(. Help me, please!

If you get all the pages, you lock yourself out of this achievement and have to get it in New Game +. Make sure not to get all the pages before beating the game the first time!

A+ to the comment about just hitting her. It’s not missable. Just don’t talk and hit her straight away if you’ve finished the manual.

@Kuper05 it is absolutely missable since what both of you are suggesting is an optional/alternative way of engaging in the boss fight.

This can be done anytime after restoring your body. It takes another 3-5 hours approximately to unlock everything needed to get all pages, so this is very easy to unlock, once done choose the retry over the new game +, then you can work on the true ending.

This solution appears to be incorrect. I finished the manual and beat the game on ending A and unlocked the achievement. It doesn't appear to be missable. Maybe you don't get the achievement if you go for ending B?

Love how this has no actual advice on how to beat the final boss, who I found to be a huge pain in the ass.

My main tip is to collect or buy at least 4 lures (the little fox dolls) and just keep deploying one as soon as the boss refocused on me. Was able to absolutely wail on them as they were distracted and beat them taking only one hit.

Funnily enough I didn't even know the game had a 'No Fail Mode' option until the last achievement I had left mentioned it, about 5 minutes after writing that comment.

Probably just me being stupid to not find it, but mentioning it in the solution would have been helpful.

Parrying is good against the Heir. Helps a lot of if you also use the parry card. You can also use the hourglass to slow time down for Heir to make your parry easier still.

You can also kind of get the Heir stuck along the wall I have read. I didn't do it, but kind of notice the Heir get hung up along the perimeter at one point.

But by far the easiest way to win is by buying as many lures (decoys) as you can. This requires you have a good amount of money to buy them but at the end of the game it shouldn't be an issue. If you have 10 or more lures, use them for both phases. If not, wait to use them during the second. Heir will focus on lure for a while, giving you a good amount of time to wail on them.

Speed-runners also do a sword-freeze combo to beat Heir quickly using sword, rod + ice dagger, but that requires good reflexes and dexterity.

If you don't have all the manual pages when you defeat the final boss, after the credits the game will tell you how many pages you're missing and give you an option to retry or move to ng+.

All of these comments saying you can't unlock this if you got all the pages are wrong.
Get all the pages, then enter the final chamber with The Heir. Rather than speaking to her, smack her in the chops with your sword and the fight starts as normal. Kill her, get the "bad ending" and the cheev

Because the fight is that big a pain in the arse that you should just enable No Fail Mode to get it done and over with instead. Just wasn’t worth the trouble to do legit for me thanks

Pretty evident given that the last achievement you should pop before doing the fight has close to double the pops as this.

Here is my 100% Achievement Guide including ALL Collectibles, All everything to get you every achievement!
It has been done in the quickest way possible for those that prefer a visual guide for certain levels etc.

Throughout the game you will collect small pages known as "Instruction Pages", Basically telling you from how to play the game to hidden secrets & More!
There are 54(?) Pages to collect but with each one you collect you get 2 pages if that makes sense?
So in total, your only collecting about 20ish pages.

In order to get this achievement (Which you should do first), simply beat the game WITHOUT Collecting every page.
So you must beat the final boss without collecting every page, doing so, gives you the ability to replay the game from your last save to find the rest.

Timestamps are below the video and in the YT comment section if your stuck

Hope this helps :)

So this achievement is for beating the final boss of the game in combat.



So there's a lot of people saying you cannot get this game after completing the manual, as doing so you get the "good ending".

If, like me, you completed the manual before this fight, when you get to the room with the boss in, rather than interact with the boss with the A button, simply attack them with your sword. This will start the fight, and allow you to earn this achievement regardless of if you have all the manual pages or not.

Beat the boss, get the bad ending, and then you can simply retry if you want the good ending.

Hope this helps!

Just Wanted to Add that this can be completed in NG+ even if you collected all the pages in your first play through. For the Final Boss Fight in NG+ you get the option to share your Knowledge if you have collected all the pages already Make sure to Click "No" and it Begins the 2 Phase Fight with The Heir Simply Beat him and watch the Credits and the Achievement is yours.

You can actually earn this early by beating the The Heir the first time when you are scripted to lose (after turning in the 3 keys).

The Heir will have 2 phases each with a health bar.
If you manage to drain both, the game will end early and unlock this achievement after the credits. Just make sure to press retry after to continue your playthrough to finish everything else.

Missable

You need to defeat the final boss without collecting all the manual pages, if you collect them all you will be given that ending instead and not unlock this trophy. The Heir has 2 phases, the second phase being one that can reduce your maximum HP with some of their attacks. Keep at it and The Heir will finally go down giving out the ending.

Before collecting the last pages of the manual, go and defeat the final boss. If you do complete the manual first, this trophy will not be available during the current playthrough. However, if you fight the boss and get to the credits before completing the manual, you will unlock the trophy and have the option to Retry. Retry will let you jump back into the game and complete the manual.

Before engaging The Heir, make sure you have your Fire Wand and Ice Dagger equipped so you can do the ranged ice attack (pressing both at the same time). Fight the boss near the edges of the arena when able. When you need to heal, quickly roll away from the boss to give you enough space to heal before the boss closes the gap.

At the start, use the Fire Wand and Ice Dagger combo to freeze the boss and attack with your sword. Next, focus on dodging attacks and attacking while she is open. If you land enough consecutive attacks, the boss will drop to her knees and give you many free hits. Then, in phase 2 the boss will use attacks that drain your health. Be extra vigilant in not standing in the pink/black sludge.

You will get this achievement for finishing the game without completing all 55 pages of the manual. However, if you did complete it first and started a NG+, you can return to the final boss at the end of your playthrough and you will get the prompt "Share your wisdom?" Select "No" to fight the boss and get the achievement.

This achievement unlocks for getting the standard ending of the game. To get it, after losing (automatically) the first fight against The Heir in the teleportation area, you need to return there and fight The Heir again, this time beating the boss. You'll complete the game and this achievement will unlock after the credits.

Note that if you collected all Manual pages before approaching The Heir at the end of the game, you'll get the true ending and this achievement won't unlock. However, this achievement is not missable. If you collected all Manual pages, you can still get this ending by attacking The Heir with your sword. This will trigger the fight, which you can then finish to unlock this achievement.

The final boss has 2 phases, you need to prepare.
Tactics for fighting the final boss:
Save up or buy 6 baits and go to the boss. Come in and throw one bait. While the boss is hitting the bait, hit him. As soon as the bait runs out, throw a second one. 3 baits are enough for one phase.
