Stuck with the quarry and its completely killing my will to play.

[Onyx]

I love Tunic so much, but jesus christ this is just a stupid jump in difficulty
I literally got one hit away from killing the guardian stone boss whatchamacallit, so a super easy boss, and next area you want me to do is the quarry? Mandatory max hp decrease with 1-2 shot enemies?
I'm sorry to say this but if this is how it is I genuinely regret getting into Tunic, because as far as I'm concerned I'm not playing anymore.

What's the "guardian stone boss" you're referring to? Garden Knight?
If that's the case, then no, this isn't even remotely close to where you're "supposed" to go next.

The game lead me exactly to the quarry after the garden knight. So not being supposed to be there is an interesting choice

I think you got there through a hidden path, which isn't exactly an "intended" path, especially since the game hasn't given you anything telling you to go there. (Quotes because it's intended for it to be possible for players to get there early.)
The high difficulty of the area would also tend to ward players away, or at least make them try to see if there isn't anywhere else they could go.
I do agree that it's a questionable design choice for this path to be so easily accessible, even with everything i've mentioned.

[Onyx]

Well I still have absolutely no idea where to go.

Recommended order:
Ring the east bell (East Forest)
Ring the west bell (Under the Well -> Dark Tomb -> West Garden) (you should finish this step)
Open the Sealed Temple doors, learn how to venerate from the new instruction manual page
Obtain a key (Eastern Vault)
Obtain a key (Ruined Atoll)
Obtain a key (Quarry) (you've skipped to here)

To defeat Garden Knight, I would recommend using Firecrackers. They are relatively cheap, they do incredibly massive damage, and using 10 of them gives you a permanent one. So if you use 50, that's 5 free Firecrackers in any encounter, restocks when you rest. Consider the money spent as contributing to your permanent inventory rather than being wasted.

Super-cheese is possible by starting the encounter outside of the arena itself, you'd need to make sure you have enough resources to kill it from the outside though.

Ah, after checking your profile, I do see you defeated Garden Knight. I misinterpreted "I literally got one hit away from killing the guardian stone boss" as you being one hit away from killing it.

The Quarry is a puzzle, so there are ways to make your experience there easier. I'd definitely recommend doing Ruined Atoll first.

[Onyx]

Ruined atoll?
I guess that was kinda my next goal, I just found the fortress thing and killed the guy where you need to attack his ballsack.

You can go to about 3 different places and get quite a bit of stats before you go to the quarry...

Don't worry, I'm way past that, I've done the entire game and decided to quit on the Heir simply because I found the boss just so badly designed

Your achievements do seem to suggest that's what you've done, though they also show that you've missed a large number of other things near the end of the game that don't require fighting the Heir.
If you're curious about the things you've likely missed, i'd recommend looking at page 43 more carefully, as well as page44if you have it.

Thank you for your effort.
Though I have no plans on returning to Tunic, I might, eventually. I might check those journal pages, I believe I had them, don't remember as that was more than 2 weeks ago.
I do know that if you have every journal page you can skip the Heir bossfight, and honestly that's something I might even do. But right now I've got my head in other games.
