The Hero's Graves locations in Tunic can be found and activated early on in the game, but they won't be useful until after the first confrontation with The Heir. After losing the initial battle, the fox is returned to the beach in the Overworld as a ghost with none of their previously applied stat upgrades. In order to return to corporeal form and restore any stat boosts, players will need to visit each of the six Hero's Graves scattered around the world of Tunic.
Before the Hero's Graves can be tracked down, players will need to go across the southeastern bridge in the Overworld to go through The Swamp and Cathedral areas and obtain the teleport dash ability. The Swamp will lead into the Cathedral where players will need to complete a combat challenge involving six waves of enemies. After obtaining the teleport dash ability, the pedestals at each Hero's Grave warp point can be reached, and the fox's stat upgrades in Tunic can be restored.
The world of Tunic at night is different than during the day, so even if players have found the Hero's Graves earlier in the game, the path to get to them won't be the same. Once the fox becomes a ghost, all six Hero's Graves need to be visited before players can switch to daytime again. Only the physical form of the fox can switch between night and day by sleeping in the Old House. The Hero's Graves can be found in The Swamp, Cathedral, East Forest, Eastern Vault, West Garden, and The Monastery.
The Hero's Grave in the Swamp is the easiest one to reach because the fox will pass by it after obtaining the teleport dash ability in Tunic. From The Swamp, players will need to enter the Cathedral and complete the combat trial by activating each of the six statues. Once all six waves of enemies are defeated and the new ability is claimed, players can exit the Cathedral. It will lead back into The Swamp where there's a ladder to the south, then the Hero's Grave will be accessible. Praying in front of the statue will activate it and warp the fox to a different area. At the top of the stairs, there's a pedestal to teleport to, and interacting with the upgrade item will restore the fox's stamina bar.
From the fast travel hub, players can take the bottom right warp point in Tunic to reach the Great Library where the green gem was obtained. Once inside the Great Library, players can head south to exit via the ladder surrounded by piles of books. At the base of the tower, another ladder can be taken down to reach the room with the Hero's Grave in it. Players will need to go down the curved stairs, then up the stairs to the left to activate the Hero's Grave. The pedestal at this location will restore the fox's magic meter.
Tunic's East Forest warp point can be reached by using the teleport dash ability in the fast travel central hub to jump across the debris on the right side. The platform is broken off and isolated from the rest of the warp points. Inside the East Forest, players can take the path south of the wooden sign to reach the area where the Hero's Grave is located. The bomber and sniper enemies originally fought in the Quarry will block the way to the Hero's Grave. Players can either teleport dash past them or fight them, then pray at the Hero's Grave to reach the area where the fox's attack upgrades can be restored.
From any of the golden platform warp points, players can fast travel to the central hub and head to the Interior of the Eastern Vault where the Siege Engine boss in Tunic was defeated. The Eastern Vault fast travel point is the upper right platform. From the warp point, players will need to head south to exit through the large golden doors into the Eastern Vault main floor. The central courtyard where there were enemies gathered around a pillar earlier will be directly down the stairs. From there, players can go past the ghost on the right side of the screen, then follow the path east. The Hero's Grave for the Eastern Vault is at the end of the path, and visiting this site will restore the fox's health bar.
The West Garden Hero's Grave can be reached by starting at the golden platform west of the central save point in the Overworld. From there, players can head toward the fountain and south down the stairs. West past the three skulls, players can use teleport dash to reach the pink glowing strip on the other side of the waterfall. Following the strip north will lead to a room with a chest and a path leading into the West Garden where Tunic's Garden Knight was defeated. After going down the stairs, players will be in the northern part of the West Garden. The broken golden pillar can be used to hop across the water where there are stairs leading up to the Hero's Grave. The West Garden Hero's Grave will restore the fox's defense upgrades.
Before heading to the Monastery, players should equip the Scavenger Mask ability card to avoid any health-draining effects in this area. To reach the Monastery in the northernmost part of the Quarry, players will need to enter from the hidden path next to the Mountain Door in Tunic. The mountain can be reached by taking the large staircase behind the Sealed Temple north of the central save point in the Overworld. At the top of the mountain, the staircase on the right of the Mountain Door will lead to the Quarry. Using teleport dash, players can follow the path down to reach the Monastery entrance behind the save point surrounded by water. At the north end of the Monastery, the Hero's Grave can be found at the top of the stairs. Visiting this site will restore the fox's potion upgrades.
After visiting all six Hero's Graves, the fox will become corporal again, and players can either fight The Heir and complete the game or search for more secrets. The ability to change between night and day at the Old House will be available again, and new paths will be accessible with the teleport dash ability. In order to get the true ending in Tunic, players will need to continue their adventure and find all of the instruction pages before battling The Heir.
Tunic is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, macOS, and PC.
