Don’t let the cuteness and colors ofTunicfool you.

It may feature a chill aesthetic, but there’s also danger in almost every direction.

Here’s how to quickly find the shield in the labyrinthine world of Tunic.

It’s necessary for moving past bushes blocking the way to the shield.

Use oursword guideif you better and then make your way back over here when you’re ready.

It’s just north of the stick cave and opening beach.

Then head west across the wooden bridge.

See the building that looks like an old house with the telescope on its roof?

Take a look through the telescope if you’d like to take a peek at where we’re heading.

If you hit the windmill then you’ve gone too far.

This next section has a lot of enemies.

Continue west once you make your way down the ladder.

Continue to the right, running past the cave entrance.

You’ll see an enemy with a sword and shield equipped at the end of the path.

Take a right when possible and then another right down the steps facing the southeast.

Take another right and grab the key on the ground in between fighting and/or dodging enemies.

The strategy that helped me here was running and luring them away from the key.

Use the Old House Key on the front door to make your way inside.

Take an immediate right down the passage and keep going until you reach the room at the end.

Cross the bridge to reach the other side and pick up your new shield.

Pull the lever on the right to bring up the locked gate and make your escape.
