Like most great Metroidvania games, Animal Well features a large map with several distinct areas. Traversing it can be a little tricky, particularly for those who haven't yet unlocked all of the game's items, though there's thankfully a way to expedite this process once players have gotten their hands on the Animal Flute.
How to Get Every Item in Animal Well
Players won't need to find every item in Animal Well to complete the main story, though doing so can definitely make life a lot easier.
By using the flute to play warp songs, players can get from one side of the map to the other in a matter of seconds. Flute melodies can be used in a variety of other situations too, from freeing cats in cages to freezing freaky skeletal fish. The following guide contains every flute song in Animal Well and information on what they all do.
Updated May 27, 2024, by Tom Bowen: Since the original publication of this guide, a few new Animal Well flute songs have been discovered, allowing players to get their hands on two or three additional figurines. This guide has therefore been updated to include these new melodies, as well as some additional information on when and where certain Animal Well flute songs can be used.
All Warp Songs in Animal Well
In addition to its animal-themed warp room, Animal Well's fast travel system makes use of warp songs, most of which can be found by using the UV Lantern. It's important to note that players won't actually need to find these melodies themselves in order to be able to use them, so those who lack the patience to scour the map for secrets can save themselves some time.

To leave the area with the giant bunny statue, players will need to play the Giant Bunny Statue Area song a second time. The Giant Bunny Statue Area Chest song can only be used in the area with the giant bunny statue and will warp players to a chest containing the Rabbits Figurine.
All Secret Rabbit Songs in Animal Well
Finding every secret bunny in Animal Well will require players to use a number of different flute melodies; either to warp to a new area or to interact with something in the area around them. Several of the warps can be triggered from any part of the map, but most of the other secret rabbit songs can only be used in specific areas.

How to Release Every Cat in Animal Well
In the area where the Ostrich boss fight takes place, players will find five cats locked up in cages. By using special five-note melodies, it's possible to open these cages, which is the intended strategy for those hoping to get their hands on the Wheel. From left to right - starting with the area containing two cat cages and then moving on to the one with three - the melodies needed to free all five cats in Animal Well are as follows:
Cat Cage #1

Miscellaneous Animal Well Flute Songs
In addition to all of the aforementioned melodies, there are a handful of miscellaneous flute songs in Animal Well; each of which has very specific use cases. Playing the Egg Song in the egg room will unlock a secret chamber containing the Office Key, while playing the Bobcat Song in the Bobcat Room allows players to get the Wheel without having to rescue the five cats. Lastly, the Eel Song can be played to freeze the skeletal fish in the area that's unlocked using the E Medal, while the Duck and Mama Cha songs reward players with figurines. It's worth noting, though, that the latter will only work in the dog bowl room to the southeast of the dog warp head statue.

Animal Well Flute Cipher
As mentioned above, most of the flute songs in Animal Well can be found by exploring the game's world, though many of them will need to be translated before players can actually use them. If players find a code that's given to them in numbers or as a series of faces, they can use the flute cipher above to figure out how to play it. In short, though, the faces on the image line up with the eight possible directions, while the numbers start with one on the right and move around each position clockwise, so down-right is two, down is three, down-left is four, and so on.
