The Heir

Heir.jpg

Location The Far Shore
Soundtrack The Heir

The Heir is the final boss of Tunic. They are a previous Ruin Seeker and the game's main antagonist. Found trapped in The Shadow Oubliette for most of the game, then in the Spirit Arena of The Far Shore after being freed.

Appearance

The Heir is a tall ghostly anthropomorphic fox wearing a long flowing tunic. They wield a large glowing sword called the "Sword of The Heir" by page 41 of the instruction manual.

Plot

Within The Far Shore, the player can discover The Heir, who is trapped within The Shadow Oubliette's shivering ring. The player procures the red, green, and blue keys, and places them on pedestals within the Sealed Temple of the Overworld, freeing The Heir. Off-screen, The Heir enters the Spirit Arena and obtains the Sword of The Heir. They await for the player.

When the player arrives, The Heir gently greets them. However, The Heir betrays them, slashing down the Sword of The Heir upon them to engage them in combat. If the player dies, they become a ghost and are sent to Ruin Seeker Arrival during the night.

During Ending A, the player defeats The Heir, and The Heir dissipates into light. The player inherits the role and becomes the Heir-To-The-Heir. They are trapped within The Shadow Oubliette.

During Ending B, the player presents the completed instruction manual to The Heir, sharing their wisdom.

Abilities

The Heir can perform powerful magic attacks, and is also able to channel the miasma.

Strategy

Well-timed parries are the key to this battle. Most of The Heir's attacks can be dodged, and parrying will leave them stunned long enough for 2 full sword combos. The Aura's Gem makes parrying a bit easier.
