**Location**[West Garden](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/west-garden)
**Soundtrack**The Knight
The **Garden Knight** is the (typical) second [boss](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/chapter/bosses) of *Tunic*. It is encountered in the [West Garden](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/west-garden), guarding the Western Bell. ### Appearance The Garden Knight is shaped similar to the Eyes of The Far Shore. It wields a large sword which doubles as a shotgun. ### Plot The Garden Knight is stated to be a palace guard. Corpses of Garden Knights are found in the West Garden and the [Swamp](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/swamp). ### Strategy The player should acquire at least a few upgrades before fighting the Garden Knight. They should also acquire the Magic Dagger. ### Trivia - The Garden Knight is internally referred to as `tunic_knight` and as `techknight`. - There is cut content for a Void Garden Knight fight.[\[1\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0NWVYhc7Ko) The initial idea during development was to traverse the West Garden backwards during the night and to fight the Void Garden Knight at the end of it, but the boss idea did not properly come together, and the strict pathing did not seem like a good idea either,[\[2\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixuteVBMx0s&t=6951s) so the boss was cut. ### Nomenclature

**Location**[The Far Shore](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/the-far-shore)
**Soundtrack**The Heir
**The Heir** is the final [boss](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/chapter/bosses) of *Tunic*. They are a previous [Ruin Seeker](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/fox) 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](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/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](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-41-the-far-shore) of the [instruction manual](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet). ### 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](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/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. ### Trivia - The Heir is internally referred to as `elderfox` and as `foxgod`. - The colors of The Heir in Ending B match that of the fox, reflecting customization colors. ### Nomenclature
