# Codes This is a list of "cheat" **codes** that aren't linked to game progression in *Tunic*. --- ### Meta Codes Certain codes cannot be found within the game itself. They can be activated at any moment in the game. #### Big Head Mode Code: URUL URDR RURD LDRD Details: Makes your fox's head and Rudeling heads bigger. Entering the code again or closing the game entirely un-toggles Big Head mode. Discovery: Streamers and media were sent the press kit version of *Tunic*, which contained the game, various goodies, and one of 25 potential puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces could be theoretically connected together to form the full 5x5 image. Users shared photos of their puzzle piece online and stitched together the full puzzle through collaboration, revealing an image of a 4x4 grid of foxes holding flags in specific directions, and thus producing the secret code.
Alternatively, the same code is obtained via a Holy Cross code in the inner flap of the Nintendo Switch physical cover art for *Tunic*.

The sunglasses disappear when the player either dies or returns to the title screen. The sunglasses match the color of the fox's neckband, which can be customized in the secret changing room to the right of the [Overworld](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/overworld)'s fountain. Discovery: The Sacred Geometry clothing apparel contains a Holy Cross code in its design. Alternatively, via in-game means, the same Holy Cross code is present in [page 5](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet/page/page-5-the-story) of the [instruction manual](https://tunic.wiki/books/instruction-booklet), though the origin point is more abstractly represented by the fox's feet rather than an exact symbol, so it is not inherently apparent that this is a Holy Cross code, compared to the real-life clothing merchandise.

Discovery: Andrew Shouldice (dicey), the lead developer, intended the MP cost of the Magic Dagger + Magic Wand combo to equal the cost of both upon the initial release of the game. However, due to an oversight, the cost was much cheaper. He wanted to fix it, but was afraid that it would upset some of the community, like speedrunners.[\[1\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUA-MPk1KC0&t=995s) The September 27, 2022 game update increased the MP cost of the Magic Dagger + Magic Wand combo to the intended amount, and it also added a secret code that temporarily lowers the cost, specifically to help players such as speedrunners. dicey shared the code by placing hidden directions in a Discord message when announcing the news.

"Under the moon, contemplate this prayer. Near an ancient tomb plundered for its blade lies a special place. up dow up dow le righ le righ up dow le righ" Instructions: 1\. Go to the [East Forest](https://tunic.wiki/books/locations/page/east-forest) and approach the Hero's Grave, where the player obtained the Sword. 2\. Enter the code translated from the back cover: UDU DLR LRU DLR Entering the code produces a treasure chest containing 1 coin bit. 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.
