To get the Magic Dagger in Tunic, follow these detailed steps:

1. Start at the Save Point Shrine in the Western Garden:
– Begin your journey from the save point shrine in the Western Garden. This area is marked by a wooden sign with the words “West Garden” etched into it, along with some gibberish symbols.

2. Follow the Path Down the Stone Bridge:
– Continue down the narrow path to the left of the sign, leading you into the West Garden proper.

3. Pass Under the Overhead Bridge:
– Walk past a mysterious, metallic door and round the corner to find a fox shrine next to a wishing well. There is a secret path behind the wishing well that leads to another shop with consumable items and health potions for sale.

4. Take the Wider Bridge Path:
– Head down the path leading away from the fox shrine and take the wider bridge path around until it opens into a larger platform with a Chompignom facing away from you.

5. Defeat the Chompignom:
– Take down the Chompignom by avoiding its quick bites and striking at the right moment. Once defeated, head up to find a narrow path that dead-ends at a guidebook page containing survival tips and a map of the West Garden.

6. Cross the Fallen Pillar and Enter Shallow Water:
– Take the side path back to the platform where the Chompignom was and cross the fallen pillar on the left into the shallow water. Follow the outline of the rubble under the water’s surface and take the fork in the path that leads to stairs giving you access to the next island.

7. Open the Nearby Chest:
– Open the nearby chest for some extra money, then walk down the partially concealed steps to a series of wooden planks that cross the water below.

8. Follow the Purple Runes:
– Once on the bridge, take out the Rudeling up ahead on the left, then head up the path on the right. Follow the purple, glowing runes to the right, which will lead you to another fox shrine hidden behind some rubble. Save here to restore health and health potions, or use it to upgrade Tunic’s stats if possible.

9. Clear the Bridge Path:
– Head back to the main part of the bridge and take down the Rudeling knights on the left. Clear the vegetation blocking the bridge path leading up and to the right. On the other side, fight carefully against another Rudeling and two Chompignoms, staying out of range of the Rudeling’s sword and avoiding the Chompignoms’ bites.

10. Enter the Cave:
– Cross over to the island they were on, head down the steps, and around the corner into the cave. The small room inside has a few clay pots, and at the back of the room is a short, stone pedestal with a blue, glowing dagger resting on top.

11. Acquire the Magic Dagger:
– Walk up to the pedestal and press the appropriate button to claim the Magic Dagger. Once acquired, the Magic Dagger will need to be mapped to a button in order for players to use it.

The Magic Dagger freezes enemies in a short line directly in front of Tunic, halting their movements and opening them up for attack. Tunic’s base number of magic points allows him to use the Magic Dagger three times, but his magic points can be restored by eating restorative items, collecting blue crystals from defeated enemies, or resting at a fox shrine.
