Songs are sequences of inputs that activate certain effects when played by the Animal flute. Broadly, these effects are:

  • Warp songs that teleport you to a location marked by a warp stone,
  • Puzzle songs that are required to solve various puzzles throughout the world.

While warp songs can be played anywhere, puzzle songs usually need to be played at a specific location to activate their effects. The songs are usually learned either by their directional input, or their corresponding scale degree value, which is shown around the chest containing the flute.

Warp Songs

  • Effect: Warps you to a hidden section in the fast travel room, allowing you to press a switch that unlocks access to the Eel Head.
  • Location: This song can be learned after subduing the Eel and unlocking the UV Wand; using this on the area immediately above the screen with the Eel will reveal a series of Jellyfish displaying the directional inputs for this song. Can be used to obtain the UV Wand early in new runs.

  • Effect: Warps you to a hidden area in the Chameleon's quadrant containing a Bunny.
  • Location: Locating the various symbol pillars, marking their spots on the map and connecting them in their respective orders will reveal a series of numbers that tell you how to play this song.

Vine Bunny

  • Input: →↗→↓→↙↙→ | 18131441
  • Effect: Warps you to a hidden area above the Future Egg containing a Bunny.
  • Location: The directional input to this warp song can be found in the puzzle that exits into the Future Egg room. It is behind a set of vines at the top of the screen that must be brushed away by a number of methods depending on the system you are playing on.

  • Location: When starting a save file, you awaken out of a different bulb depending on which file slot you chose. Each bulb has a unique melody that plays upon awakening, and glittering particles come out to show you the directional inputs for each melody. The mural that hints at this puzzle tells you the order to play and combine these melodies into one song.

Cages

The cages can be found in the lower right quadrant, in the area just after the Frog Head warp. Three lynx cubs will be found in cages, with another two further down. The hints to these are spread around this area, often requiring the Top to access. Playing any notes near a cage will activate the sensor above it, after which it will begin detecting the inputs from the flute. The cage will only open if the correct notes are played in order; the sensors can be reset by putting away the flute and starting over.

Flute songs for cages
Cage symbol Arrows Numbers Location
↘←↗↘→ 25821 Found by taking the vertical elevator upwards. There will be spikes in the bottom-left corner which can be destroyed, allowing you to walk into a small room containing this song.
x ↖↖↙↙↓ 66443 Take the horizontal platforms to the left one room. There is a door in the top-right corner of your room that requires the Top to access. This door will lead to the song.
= →↗↑↖↓ 18763 Found by reversing the direction of the horizontal platforms by interacting with the mouse in the running wheel, then traveling through two pipes. This will deposit you near some explosives. The song is located above this room, to the right.
↘↑↘↘← 27225 Found behind the running wheel of the Ostrich after activating all three buttons.
←↓↙↘↑ 53421 Found in the G. Flame room after activating an underwater button

There is a 6th cage located in the Lynx room, which unlocks the Wheel. Its song unlocks after freeing the 5 Lynx cubs. This song can be played on the flute to unlock the Wheel early in subsequent playthroughs:

Eel Song

To unlock the Eel warp and the UV Wand, the player must repeat what the Eel sings on the flute while avoiding its attacks.

Egg Song

Using the UV Wand in the Egg room will reveal glyphs on the eggs consisting of various arrangements of 3 horizontal lines. The UV in the flute tutorial room reveals that a single upper line corresponds to note 1, a single middle line to note 2, and a single lower line to note 4. From this the player can interpret this as a 3-bit binary number system, similar to trigrams in Bagua:

  • ☶ = 1
  • ☵ = 2
  • ☴ = 3
  • ☳ = 4
  • ☲ = 5
  • ☱ = 6
  • ☰ = 7
  • ☷ = 0 (8)

Once collecting all 64 eggs, the following song can be deciphered from this code:

↖↓→↓↖↓→↓↖↙
↘↙↖↙↘↙↗←↓←↗←
↓←↑←↘←↑←↘←↖↓→↓
↖↓→↓↖↙↘↙↖↙↘↙↖↗
↖↙↗↑←↓↑↖↙←↑↖←↖

Playing the song unlocks a hidden area in the egg chamber leading to the Office Key. While the background ambience in the egg room is in tune with what the song would sound like if the whole song was shifted up a semitone, holding R down isn't required and doesn't make a difference in the outcome.

Crow Song

Near the Bear Face warp, there are a few screens with many Crows, one of them with 8 crows in a square formation. Once you enter this room, they will begin cawing at you in a specific sequence that will repeat as long as you stay in the room; it is random everytime you re-enter. Playing this sequence with the corresponding directional inputs will unlock a Bunny.

House Bunny

  • Input: ↗↖↙↘ ↑←↓→
  • Effect: Unlocks a house Bunny if played in the TV room.
  • Location: Found on the TV screen in the house by using the Remote to change channels. Each channel is a different face, which maps onto a direction using the face decoder found in the room with the B. B. Wand.
