All Flute Songs and How to Learn

Early into Animal Well you will likely obtain the Animal Flute. It is given in the Egg Room as a reward for finding 8 of the hidden Eggs found throughout the game. The flute has a ton of different uses, as you can find and play a variety of different songs, which have different effects. While the normal ending of Animal Well can be reached without it, it's necessary for reaching the true ending.

How to Use the Animal Flute

After equipping the Animal Flute, using the action button will lock you into place. Now instead of moving you control the direction the flute is pointed, which changes the notes being played. There are eight notes in total, based on the different directions you can point it.

For the purpose of this guide, below is the legend that will be used for listing out the songs.

Bunny Statue Area

There is a secret area where you can find a Rabbit Figure, which is a special item that gets displayed in the House at the end of the game.

How to Decipher Songs

There are multiple ways to find songs in Animal Well. Some are based on animals, like the fish teaching you the fast travel room song. Others have directional inputs on the walls, like the Cat Cage songs. Others need to be deciphered, but there are only two codes to keep track of.

The first is the faces, found on this wheel in a secret area near the House and the final boss arena. The different faces correlate with eight directions you can play music, but occasionally you will be given numbers as well. The numbers also relate to the eight notes, as shown in the above image.

The other cypher is related to the egg song puzzle, which can be played one you find all 64 eggs and collect the 65th egg from the Egg Room afterwards.
