Though most locked doors in games can only be opened using keys or by destroying them, there exists a more secretive method of opening some doors in Tunic.
As you journey through the world of Tunic, you’ll inevitably come across doors that seem to be both impossible to open and destroy. Though you might think there is some sort of item you’ll have to get to open these, in reality, there’s nothing blocking you from doing so right away, if you know how.
How to Open Sealed Doors in Tunic
Every Sealed Door has a pattern on it. If you’ll “draw” this pattern with your D-Pad, the corresponding door will open. So, if you see a door like this:
You should press Up, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Up and Right on the D-Pad.
Though this might seem very cryptic at first, there is actually a page in the instruction manual that shows you how these doors work.
On top of that, you might’ve figured this out already if you’re trying to complete the Holy Cross Fairy Soul Puzzle, since one of the pages connected to that side quest also gives you a small hint.
Also, this is not the only time Tunic uses this mechanic. There are a lot of other structures that have mysterious patterns on them, and “drawing” those patterns with your D-pad usually uncovers some sort of a secret. So, keep your eyes peeled for anything that resembles a combination of straight lines in the game – if it does, chances are there is some secret you can uncover nearby…
The Frozen Throne was one of the RTS games I previously played, and I recall playing the campaign and going up against the undead only to discover that you actually sided with the undead in the end. Given the discussion of the undead, some of you may be familiar with necromancy in Spellforce. If you’re lacking the fourth ingredient and are unsure of how to obtain it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.
The 4th Ingredient Slot For Necromancy
It is important to note that you may complete all Necromancy concoctions, even Tier 3 units, with just the initial three ingredients. To make some of the more challenging undead, you will undoubtedly require higher quality ingredients.
However, if you have advanced in the game sufficiently to obtain the more valuable resources, you do not need the fourth ingredient.
Open your Grimoire to see the location of the fourth ingredient for necromancy. When you’re in the Grimoire, use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to go to the Necromancy page; the icon is a malevolent hand emerging from the ground.
There are a number of challenges there, and each one provides a prize. The first three tests concern spells. After successfully completing the first three tasks, you receive the Summon Necromancer Minions, Soul Cage, and Soul Catcher.
But the Soul Well, a unique room, can only be accessed by completing the final task. You will receive new prizes as you unlock this room and add it to your tower, such as weekly souls, an extra army stack space, and the option to utilize a fourth ingredient when summoning undead creatures using necromancy.
