How hard are the secrets?

WITHOUT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY can someone give me a good idea on how hard/obtuse some of the secrets are to find in this game? Thanks!

Hmmm.. it's not particularly easy to define them as 'simple' for just anyone, as it heavily depends on experience. TUNIC's early puzzles are simply lessons to get you into the right kind of mindset, and by the end of the game, TUNIC's puzzles revolve around a way of thinking rather than a style or 'design' of puzzle.

TUNIC's puzzles are executed on the assumption that the player has no idea what the world is like or what secrets are contained within, and throughout the game you will run into many situations where you initially think you understand what the game is about-- and then it flips all of that 'understanding' onto its' head and challenges you to try again, inviting you to overcome it.

TUNIC's puzzles aren't completely esoteric, there are some real head-scratchers sometimes for sure-- but I think anyone who has played through any puzzle-heavy games in the past will find themselves very comfortable in TUNIC, but also not so comfortable that it's predictable.

A lot of the lategame puzzles require you to take notes with actual pen and paper - very hard to judge the difficulty though. When playing The Witness I get mentally exhausted because you really need to go through literally every possibility to find the solution, meanwhile in Tunic the hard part usually is figuring out what the puzzle is in the first place and once you realize what it is, it's pretty straightforward to solve it.

Ok, I think I need to say what I am asking about more along the lines of this:

By secrets, I'm talking about hidden things like the following:

Superbosses
Additional content
Extras
Easter Eggs

Without telling me exactly what the game has, I just want to know if this game's secrets are extremely difficult to find or a bit more on the easy side given the definition above.

Thanks :)

The secrets range from "they're indicated on the map, you just need to look at it" (a surprising amount of stuff ranging from shop locations to the 12 artefacts) to "the entire community needs to get together and share the workload for this to be feasible" (translating the entire manual). Most of the stuff you need to just beat the game is pretty easy to figure out, but both puzzles and fights take a massive leap in difficulty after the second halfway point of the game.

Thanks for the indications on them!

One thing I would suggest is get a notebook some of the puzzles will require a good memory.
