In the early stages of Animal Well, you’ll come across the Animal Flute. This special item is awarded to players who locate 8 hidden Eggs scattered throughout the game, typically found in the Egg Room. The flute serves multiple purposes, allowing you to play various songs that produce different effects. Obtaining the flute is crucial for unlocking the true ending of Animal Well and we will tell you how to get it in this Animal Well Flute Guide.

To exit, you need to play the area’s song again; other teleport songs won’t function in this location.

Deciphering Songs
In Animal Well, there are various methods to discover songs. Some involve animals, such as learning the fast travel room song from a fish. Others utilize directional cues on walls, like the songs associated with the Cat Cage. Certain songs require decryption, though there are only two codes to remember.
The first code involves faces located on a wheel in a hidden area near the House and the final boss arena. Each face corresponds to one of eight musical directions, occasionally supplemented with numbers that also relate to these eight notes.
The second cipher pertains to the egg song puzzle, which becomes playable once you’ve collected all 64 eggs and obtained the 65th egg from the Egg Room.
When you shine the UV light on the area to the left of the Egg Room, you’ll notice enigmatic lines that correspond to eight distinct directions.
Using the UV light on the egg collections reveals additional lines. These lines are instrumental in deciphering the 64-note egg song.
