If you’re playing the newly released Metroidvania, Animal Well , you might have come across this. In the bottom-right biome of Animal Well’s map, you’ll find two rooms that contain a total of five cats locked in cages. You may notice that above each cage is a black box with five lines, and those lines light up if you play the Animal Flute.
If you play the right sequence of notes, the cage will unlock and the cat inside can run free. So how, exactly, do you figure out what songs to play? In truth, if you’ve just encountered the cat cages in Animal Well, don’t worry about hunting down the songs you need to play just yet. Freeing the cats isn’t necessary to complete the game’s first layer.
In fact, you’ll need to see the credits in Animal Well before you can organically solve this puzzle on your own. Your reward for freeing the cats is an item that will prove essential once you’re tracking down all 64 hidden eggs, but before that, it won’t necessarily help you out. Nothing’s stopping you from looking up the songs and freeing the cats right away, mind you.
So if that’s what you’re here for, we’ve got you covered. But before we get into that, let’s give you some more tips in case you think you can solve this puzzle on your own. If you want to figure out how to free the cats on your own, you’ll need the following items 1: The Animal Flute (you should have this by now) 2: The Lantern (obtained in the final area of the game’s first layer) 3: The Top .
