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 in the inner flap of the Nintendo Switch physical cover art for Tunic.

Sunglasses Mode

Code:
UUU LUL URU LUR ULU RUR DRD LDR DLD RDL DL

Details:
Gives your fox and Terry the Chompignom (a specific enemy in the West Garden) a pair of sunglasses. The sunglasses disappear when the player either dies or returns to the title screen. The sunglasses match the color of the fox's scarf, which can be customized in the secret changing room to the right of the Overworld's fountain.

Discovery:
The Sacred Geometry clothing apparel contains a Holy Cross in its design. Alternatively, via in-game means, the same Holy Cross is present in page 5 of the instruction manual, 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, compared to the real-life clothing merchandise.

In-Game Codes

These particular in-game codes are found within the instruction manual and can be activated at any moment in the game. The player typically isn't meant to comprehend their meaning until they receive page 43 of the instruction manual at the minimum, and 47 and 48 as supplementary.

Details:
Tiny false fairies locate any nearby fairy souls.

Healing Spell

Code:

Back Cover Code

The back cover of the instruction manual has this message encoded in Trunic.

"Under the moon,
contemplate this prayer.
Near an ancient tomb
plundered for its blade
lies a special place.
up down up down left right left right up down left right"

Instructions:
1. Go to the 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.
