14. The space to the right of the pen sketch of a star is typically blank. However, when the player stands in shallow water for 60 seconds, as described by [page 51](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-51-hidden-secrets), the image location and some [Trunic](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/trunic) appears. The Trunic states, "The softest feather, corrected eleven times, departed once more." When the player steps out of the water, the message disappears again. Completing this puzzle satisfies [page 54](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-54-memo-pages)'s 4th circle.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Upper Left** </span>There lived a Civilization of great power. They built a city, and within that city they built a palace. They held sacred the secrets of the Holy Cross, and understood the planar nature of reality. They ventured to The Far Shore and sought power from the spaces between.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Lower Right** </span>As is usual, an alluring old power was discovered. Fossils of self, annealed visions of the future, entombed and cast into sarcophagi and buried. A lever in the Canonical Plane, a store of potential. Perhaps it is the fabled prize, The Power To Defy Death.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**A Terrible Power Rises** </span>The discovering Hero opened a tomb and revealed a terrible truth. A Cathedral was built to venerate this new origin of life, and the faithful were granted the grace of holy oblivion.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**The World is Thrown Into Ruin**</span>  
The lever overworked! The fulcrum shattered! A hole in truth will thunder open and all manner of disquiet contradictions will gnaw apart the Canonical Plane. The thread is snagged into a squirming coil, with no beginning and no end. Flee to your arks, old ones, and become your predestined selves!

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**A Prison &amp; A Beacon** </span>... But one must live outside the shivering ring, The Heir seeking an Heir-To-The-Heir. A beacon to bring about a Ruin Seeker. To either grow strong and replace an ailing heir, or to hold sacred Holy Cross, and ensure their wisdom lives on.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Awaiting a Worthy Successor** </span>Which will you be, Ruin Seeker? Have you arrived here seeking treasure and glory? Or do you seek to uncover deeper truths? Look carefully, for The Golden Path lies everywhere...

And so the cycle continues. Ruin Seekers, drawn to the beacon, are tested. Those who abandon their quest are forgiven, and simply disappear.

Those who are strong enough to remember their true hero selves will, through violence, begin the cycle anew.

Will you be the Heir-To-The-Heir, and wait within The Shadow Oubliette? Before long a Ruin Seeker will be drawn to you. Their gifts will recall your past life, and you will grant them the same false hope you were given.

To break the curse, a Ruin Seeker must by some miracle invoke a relic from beyond this plane...

Editing the saturation and brightness of page 7 reveals an encircled Holy Cross symbol.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**UNDERSTANDING STAMINA-POINTS** </span>STAMINA-POINTS represent your poise and strength to perform certain actions. When you evade or perform other moves, your STAMINA-POINTS go down. When at 0 SP, you can still do many actions, but at a disadvantage.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**MOMENT OF SAFETY** </span>At the start of evasion you have invulnerability briefly, so evade at just the right moment!

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**STABILITY** </span>Take enough hits and you will flinch! If a hit is really big, you can even be knocked over.

### Elaboration

Holy Cross [codes](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/codes) are depicted next to the Ice Bomb, Explosive Bomb, and Fire Bomb. Each produces a one-time free bomb. They only work once each.

The pen writing next to the Effigy explains how many gems each additional broken Effigy produces.

### Elaboration

This page contains a minor error, labeling the first price for the Feather offering as "300" when it is "200" in reality. It also lists "???" for the third price, but on a normal playthrough, there are only 2 Feathers available, making it slightly misleading (though the player can see the future third price for a theoretical New Game+ playthrough).

### Translation

Many have sought the secrets of this world, drawn by the <span style="color: rgb(53, 152, 219);">great power</span> and other secret legends.

THE LIBRARIAN has learned much, including powerful sorcery. He makes his home high above the clouds, waiting for foolish Ruin Seekers to bring him more pages.

Although powerful, his tragedy is his belief that the HOLY CROSS resides in the CATHEDRAL.

He will never visit <span style="color: rgb(53, 152, 219);">The Far Shore</span>.

### Elaboration

The artwork of [The Librarian](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/the-librarian) on this page also shows up on [page 23](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-23-praying), in the hexagon for MP. This indicates the Hero's Grave for MP is in the [Great Library](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/great-library).

The description for the associated Steam community item, "The Librarian," is "Oh hello! Can you help me find the book I'm looking for?"<sup>[\[1\]](https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/553420-The%20Librarian)</sup>

### Translation

Fairy souls are tucked away in all corners of the world. They lock themselves in gold chests, awaiting a clever Ruin Seeker who knows the power of the HOLY CROSS.

A hidden fairy will always leave a trace of magic nearby. They await a particular song and listen for it eternally. Look around to find a secret spell hidden in the world.

Tiny false fairies will be drawn along the small folds of local truth the real fairy has created as a nest.

### Elaboration

This page depicts 15 of the 16 available cards. It is missing the Bone.

Tincture's pen sketch shows that it raises attack but lowers defense.

Bracer's pen sketch shows that it reduces the amount of stamina-points lost while using the Shield.

Muffling Bell's pen sketch shows that the distance an [enemy](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/enemies) can hear the [fox](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/fox) is modified.

Louder Echo's pen sketch shows that something about the explosion caused by collecting an Echo-of-Self is 4 times larger.

Scavenger's Mask is underlined in pen, hinting that it is an important tool for the adventure.

??? (Fire Sword)'s pen sketch shows that it gives the player's Sword fire but their health becomes very low.

Aura's Gem's pen sketch states in [Trunic](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/trunic) that the Shield's parry time increases.

The lower-right corner explains that having the fox stand in shallow water for 60 seconds reveals a hidden message on [page 1](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-1-copyright).

The upper-left pen sketch is the solution to the [Overworld](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/overworld)'s southern flower Holy Cross puzzle. The original owner of the manual messed up their first sketch and scribbled it out before drawing it again.

The upper-right pen sketch is of the [fox](https://tunic.wiki/books/creatures/page/fox), which happens to also appear in a [secret spectrogram](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/tuneic).

The lower-right pen sketch is the solution to the Overworld's invisible maze puzzle.

The lower-left pen sketch associates the [Trunic](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/trunic) characters for compass directions with the Trunic characters for up, left, right, and down.

The lower-left artwork is a Holy Cross [code](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/codes) for a free heal.

It is located in the lower part of the [East Forest](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/east-forest). Completing this puzzle satisfies page 54's 6th circle.

### Elaboration

Near the Hero's Grave in the [East Forest](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/east-forest).  
Enter the [code](https://tunic.wiki/books/secrets/page/codes): UDU DLR LRU DLR

Entering the code produces a [treasure chest](https://tunic.wiki/books/items/page/treasure-chests) containing 1 gem. On New Game+ playthroughs, the grass and bushes return, the Sword returns, but the treasure chest remains, acting as an obstacle that perfectly blocks the pathway to reach the Sword.
