@@vibevizier6512 The moon starts getting buffed if you deck yourself (run out of cards to draw without winning), gaining 1 Attack each turn it remains alive after you've decked yourself.
Yeah. I think the moon should have have 2 attack just to make it a bit more interesting. It’s an EPIC fight regardless, but I think it could be a bit more challenging for a Final Boss IMO
I beat him in 2 moves, because of a deathcard with the power of and health of the swamp monster (I forgot its name) and the cost of 1 that also was also borrowing the cockroach's immortality and was enhanced by the flame multiple times and uroborus.
The hungry child is a reference to its game jam early launch "SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE", where in the end you have to chose to either sacrifice yourself or your child, which is pretty neat
There's a neat little thing you can do in act 1, where if you lose your last life while one-eyed, and then make your deathcard while one-eyed, the lack of second eye will also appear on your deathcard. I found that out on my own, with an idea I had.
@@balrogbean This also happens if you win, Lathrix had skipped part of the game at the final fight for Leshy with the pliers and knife, and in his victory card he had one eye missing
The hungry child is a remnant of the first flash game version of the game, before it got picked up by Devolver. You would play as a crash survivor who got captured by a stranger and forced to play in order to eat. At the end you decide who to feed, yourself or your hungry child who apparently was standing behind you the whole time.
The Bone Lord Horn is so busted it can be used for the achievement of "Inflict 666 damage in one turn" by spamming it with the infinite energy circuit and the bone graveyard. Boost the bone card to 666 and swing for game. I love the fact the game doesn't get scared of pulling off going infinite like any good, completely unbalanced card game should
Ouroboros is better since you can actually keep the 666 damage rather than it going away after the achievement (since it takes a while of grinding to get).
One more secret with Leashy is that of you get 2 golden pelts and then use the mushroom guy to combine them, you get a weird gold pelt that you can sell for legendary fused cards really op
In part 1, if you die enough times and collect every figurine, the death tarot card from part 3 will appear underneath them. If you click on it the card glitches and disappears.
Fun fact: I’ve gotten so lucky (or in this case unlucky) that instead of the survivors eating a ringworm it became a 0-9. Disappointing yet also kind of amazing
When a friend of mine told me about the secret with the ringworm and the survivors, I rushed to check it out. I ended up with a 0/25 ringworm in that run. I was really confused.
I never knew about the poison campfire secret. Also when you buy cards from the traper you can buy lots of rabbit pelts if you get 8, merge 2 with the mushroom guys and then trade with the trader you can get all the doubled cards offered. Its super op and even stronger if you use 8 rare pelts including the merged one.
Only get 5 rare pelts as it maxes you out at 4 available rare cards on sale. Combining the pelts more than once doesn't raise the abilities of the cards on offer more than if they were only combined once.
Another secret for act 1: static card. It is a card with static, no sigils (you can't add any either) but when you draw it it becomes a random card until the fight ends, where it reverts.
¿have anyone tried to sacrifice it to the bone lord on the act 1 event to delete cards in exchange for boons? haven't seen anyone do it so far. i know the proper sacrifice is the black goat but the bone lord is closely realated to the old data so i think is worth trying.
If you unlock the safe on your first run before the stoat clues you into the code, you find the same meat leshy gives you for winning (just like how you find the meat for the dog in the safe)
On the file boss in Act 3, if you select an audio file, it actually plays the audio, much to P03's annoyance. I didn't know that, and played the Mushroom Dance file from Undertale, so that ended up being pretty funny.
You forgot to mention that the Ourobouros and the Ringworm both count as rings, so if do the ring trial before fighting Leshy you get a Major Boon even if you didn't get the ring from the clock.
Another secret I haven't seen mentioned is if you beat the first phase of the angler in Act one on your very first life Leshy will shout "Too Soon!" and summon bears on every single card spot on his side of the field.
The game does this, because the player hasn’t been introduced to certain mechanics yet. You are only taught about bones after your first loss, meaning the game tried to force you to lose.
In Act 1 having the eye of Magnificus let’s you see a hidden card when browsing through the player pieces. This only happens after you complete the event where you pick up your own piece.
@@KopieOG so if you die a LOT of times in act 1 then the tarot card will spawn, cause im pretty sure its impossible to have magnifficuses eye when selecting a peice normally, and me messing with the file so that i do have the eye equipped early, will show nothing. So i just need to die a lot, be on the death grind.
You were actually supposed to discover the wood carver with the magic monocle. Also if you chose a file to delete from the actual Inscryption game directory, he tells you to be extra careful with that.
I just found another secret. I went back to chapter one and found the death tarot card from the final chapter under his safe. Also, the goo said that he remembers us defeating Leshy and that I would need something up my sleeve to free him.
reminded me a legend how people deceived the gods. put 2 heaps: one covered with good pelts and the second with lard. and told the gods to choose which offering they wanted. they chose the skins, but underneath there were wastes such as entrails, bones, etc. and under the fat was meat and everything else edible
Some bastards who wrote a puzzle walkthrough guide said the caged wolf needed to be sacrificed on the sacrificial altar, not let it be killed(which was my first instinct), which wasted hours of my time because I couldn't find a sacrifical altar(which doesn't show up until later). Thank you for helping me dispel their lies.
@@Fabelaz both are, the skill transfer from prospector and the bone lord as soon as you get to snow zone, only requirement for the second is to have died at least once, which will happen anyway because fishermen always kills you if you haven't died yet.
@@thespanishinquisition4078 No he wont, its possible to win in your first run, this channel has a video about it. If you are curious on how to beat the fisherman: have either a uraiuli or mothman (or something that has more than 5 damage) on the board, use scissors on the bear blocking your card and boom, you won
Having the prospector hit it with the pick to turn it into gold also works, that's how I did it as I felt playing it in a boss fight was a good way to kill it.
In act one sometimes Leshy will offer a static card with nothing on it and when played it will turn into a random card, sometimes there will be a card in the box under the wooden carvings of the players, you can also sometimes get one of magnificouses apprentices a goop abomonation in a bottle when getting an item and you can only talk to him with the magic eye he gives secret tips and if you meet the goop guy in act 1 then in act 3 he will be in the pipes and you can still talk to him through some clear glass parts of the pipes
@@OjamaIndigo huh, I haven't seen him in the pipes, yet, even though I found him on act 1. I never went to talk to him on the self, but he was moved to the self.
@@ahmadsab_ Hey just streamed the game, and I got it while all my death cards costed at least 1. I don't think that's what triggers it, but it is pretty rare.
You can actually watch the "glitch" be processed. IT turns into some black box at the end but falls into a hole. Never figured out if there was a way to interact with it.
the glitch is supposed to be a fragment of the OLD_DATA. He uses it to print the card with which he corrupts and takes control over the game at the end. Also, the smelter bot has some very weird voice lines that appear for half a second before his actual lines. "HELP ME OU-" "NONONONO" and such. If you watch the conveyors after he throws himself to the smelter... bones appear through the other side. Creepy!
@@Jonjon13Jonjon13 in the first fight with P03 he uses the smelter as a card and if you kill it a M3Atb0t takes it’s place. He has a human head inside of him.
Couple extra secrets for act 1: If you open the safe straight away before you have access to the book, inside there will be MEAT If you don't use the knife and instead beat Leshy over and over again, you will be shown Magnificus creating a painting of the knife in his realm
You can actually beat the bosses when they are "impossible" and Leshy will have red eyes for the rest of the run. The first guaranteed loss where you pick up the candle can't be beaten, it will continuously force spawn bears over and over again unlike the bosses
If you sacrifice Child 13 26 times it turns into Hungry Man apparently, but hungry child doesn't have many lives 15:20 Maybe that is hidden, but if you try to sac it it changes back?.
Yeah, cards with a hit shield also take a second hammer to kill. It's kind of similar to how bomb robots only deal 10 damage so don't actually one shot everything, most people don't know that since virtually every normal card is killed in one bomb hit.
There is one more secret, in act 3, at a certain point, if you go to the area of the room on the left and you go to the first puzzle area, where it asks you to seal the images with cards, if you turn around, The face of the shaper will appear for a few moments, this scared me a lot the first time it happened to me
There's actually lots more secret interactions in Act 1. When the Bone Lord skull appears where your candles used to be, if you click on it rapidly, its eyes glow red. I don't believe there's anything more to this secret. Sometimes when you get up from the table and turn right, there can also be a special tarot card from the Traders right below where you would grab your figurine, I'm not sure if there is any way to initiate this or if it's like the jumpscare secret just like the end of the card interactions chapter in the video. Many players may know that if you progress too quickly in the game (Getting to the Angler on your first life, and to the Trapper on your first or second life), you encounter a board full of Grizzlies that have the Mighty Leap Sigil. However, with the proper preparations, you can actually bypass this Grizzly swarm sort of thing. If you do manage to do so, Leshy's eyes do not go back to normal. They retain their red color until you go back to the main menu and continue again, or if you encounter the cave trial event, because Leshy changes his eyes there. Some players also may not know that if you solve the painting puzzle by playing the specific cards in the correct spots, you get a reward. Initially you get a clover, which allows you to reroll your card choices during a card event on the map. I believe this is also useless, but you can actually take it to the barrel where the Bone Lord skull is and place it down. If you solve the painting puzzle again, you get an extra candle, giving you a total of 3 lives. This candle will give you an extra smoke card during boss battles. If you solve the puzzle a third time, you get a little bee figurine. It may not be immediately obvious what it does, but when you bring it to Leshy, he replaces your side deck of Squirrels with Bees, and if you end up dying again, you will also start with an insect totem head, alongside the squirrel one. The only purpose the Squirrel head now serves is if you get a Squirrel in a bottle, which is very situational. If you get up and go to the safe on your first life, you can actually see a hand there on the right side. It's assumed this is Grimora's hand, much like how when you defeat Leshy and turn him into a card, you can see Magnificus' and P03's bodies inside the room, on the same wall as Leshy's deathcard, but I don't believe it's confirmed if this is Grimora's hand. You can also open the safe to find a pile of rotting meat, the same pile of meat Leshy rewards you with if you manage to defeat him. If you click on the candles next to the slide puzzles every time you die and return to the cabin, on the third time you will get a smoke card from the glass above them. After doing this, instead of getting "The Smoke" during boss battles, you get "Greater Smoke", which is the same thing but has 1 damage and 3 health, as opposed to 0 damage and 1 health. There are also many special names that certain cards can have if you give them the Fledgling sigil. 1. Worker Ants and Flying Ants will turn into an Ant Queen, and only gain 2 health as opposed to the normal 1 damage and 2 health other cards get, and the Flying Ant loses its Airborne sigil. This is intentional, because if you give the sigil to an Ant Queen, it will turn into an Elder Ant Queen, and have an additional 1 base damage, resulting in 2 damage when placed on the board alone. 2. Much like how an Elk Fawn will turn into an Elk, if you give the sigil to an Elk, it will turn into a Moose Buck, and replace it's Sprinter sigil with the Hefty Sigil. 3. A Mole will turn into the Mole Man, gaining the Mighty Leap sigil. 4. A Mantis will turn into Mantis God, giving up it's Bifurcated Strike sigil for Trifurcated Strike. As for other changes, these cards still only gain the standard +1/+2 for stats, but they do have unique names. 1. Alpha becomes "Omega" 2. Child 13 becomes "Child 14" 3. Dams from the Beaver, or another card with such sigil, will become a "God Dam" 4. Long Elk becomes "Longer Elk" 5. Opossums become "Awesome Opossum" 6. Great Whites become "Greater White" 7. The Curious Egg from Kaycee's Mod becomes an "Extra Curious Egg" 8. Deathcards uniquely will actually have no name change, just the stat increase. 9. And lastly, Mothman will become "Final Form". This is probably the most secret one of all, because it requires you to have applied the Unkillable Sigil to your Strange Larva, have the Fledgling sigil for your insect cards with the use of your totem, have your Mothman die or be sacrificed, placed back down on the board, and have it survive for a single turn without winning. If you take 2 golden pelts, or any other pelt type, to the Mycologists, they will combine the pelts if you choose them. This may seem useless, however, when you go to the Trader, they will give you cards that have been combined as if they were combined by the Mycologists. And interestingly enough, you only need one combined pelt. If you have other normal pelts alongside your combined one, you will be able to buy the other combined cards with the normal pelts. Because of this, it's possible to get an Ouroboros that has it's stats doubled from normal, and the same would go for any other rare card you can normally only obtain one of. It's actually possible to beat Leshy on your first life ever. It's difficult, but you can. You just need the right cards and the right items to bypass the Grizzly Swarms. The game has a "fair draw" mechanic. Every time you begin a battle, you always draw one squirrel, and at least one 1 blood card, assuming you have one. This is to give you a fair chance at winning when entering battles, otherwise it's possible you could be left with no play to make on your first turn. You can abuse this mechanic to your advantage, by getting a black goat, and ideally putting Unkillable onto it, and then get a bunch of 3 blood cards, never picking 1 blood cards when getting around to card events on the map, so you get your Black Goat on your first draw every battle. With this strategy, it's also ideal to keep your deck as small as possible, so you can power up your 3 blood cards and have them do lots of damage. You can also put hoarder onto your black goat, and just go all in with upgrades on a single 3 blood card, and you can play it every single first turn, since you get your Black Goat on the first turn, and get a squirrel to play it. This strategy is especially useful when trying skull storm in Kaycee's mod. Of course, if you go to the Mycologists without duplicate cards, they will choose 3 random cards from your deck that you can choose a duplicate of. If you go to the Trader without pelts, they give you teeth to go to the Trapper and buy pelts. However, if you go to the sacrificial stones where you would apply sigils to other cards, but you don't have any valid cards to draw from or apply sigils to, Leshy will tell you that they shake and rumble with anger. If you apply the Annoying sigil to a Mirror Tentacle with the use of the Annoying challenge skull in Kaycee's mod, you can place a normal Mirror Tentacle in the leftmost spot, your Mirror Tentacle with Annoying next to it, and use the Wiseclock to rotate all cards on the board one space clockwise, the two Mirrors will actually infinitely buff each other's damage. If you managed to also put Airborne onto the same Mirror Tentacle you put Annoying onto, you can attack directly over the opposing one, and crash the game, assuming the damage has gone high enough. There's also one more secret about a card from Kaycee's mod, the Ijiraq. Until it is played on the playing field, you normally cannot see this card's true form, and can only identify it with it's red glowing eyes if you are looking at your deck on the map, or when choosing it, it will replicate another card choice, but have a ? at the end of its name. You can also identify this card if the card it is mimicking has an extra sigil applied to it, as apparently this extra sigil will be more greenish in color than normal. Because of this card's unique ability to mimic other cards, it's cost to play on the board changes, as it could mimic a cheap or even free card, or it could mimic an expensive card. Interestingly enough however, if it mimics a bone card, it will not spend the bones when played. Also, because of it's shapeshifting abilities, this means you cannot apply extra sigils to it or upgrade it at a campfire. It can still appear in a campfire encounter however, and normally, Ants cannot have their power upgraded at these campfires because of their special power sigil, but if the Ijiraq mimics an Ant card (or other card that has a special power sigil such as an Ant's), if placed on the campfire it will not upgrade the Ijiraq's damage, and will instead increase the damage of the card it was mimicking, meaning you can increase the base damage of any Ant card. Lastly, if you place down a card with the Hoarder sigil, or use the Magpie's Lens, instead of giving your the Ijiraq card if you happen to choose it, it will instead just give you a copy of the said card. As far as I'm aware, this feature is the only way you could get a duplicate Ouroboros Card, and have two in your hand. This is all I know of secrets in Act 1 and Kaycee's mod at the moment, I'm sure there's other secrets and tidbits, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Technically if you are lucky, you can have infinite oroboris cards, but only for that round. If you give your card the blood sigle and have a totem with the snake head and the sigle that gives you a duplicate card into your hand when said card is played. Other than that, it isn’t permanent.
Is it a guaranteed draw though? I had the Ring worm + Ouroboros and the first card it drew was the Ring worm, I assumed the "secret use" of that card was to guarantee a win of trial of the ring. I won that run and didn't bother to go back to try the 11:00 clock as the table scribble says so I at the time didn't know about the golden ring.
Another secret no one seems to have mentioned is that in the place with the choose images with cards console,when I looked back at the wall I saw the mask of the wood carver(could've been her face too) and it slowly went upwards
The mycologist fight is actually super easy if you do an item combo. Turn 1 fill the board with bombs and then shield the ones on your side. This is a double board clear for turns 1 and 2. So you have a couple turns to establish a hand and gain some energy and then actually start playing on turn 3.
The painting of the slime mage also appears again on the way to Magnificus. I don’t know if it’s always there of if you need to talk with the slime mage first so he gets the courage to show Magnificus…
The map in Act 3 is actually the map from Act 2, modified by P03 to look more like its name - BOTopia - suggests. Yet another hint that the Mycologists are in fact there.
i know its supposed to be like a dark reference to the early game jam but the fact that this cool dragon thing just becomes "Hongry Child" is hilarious to me
@@Mikewazowskioverheaven it is in act 3. It isn't that hard to find though. After a certain point, just look around the area, and you'll find clues to the thing that summoned the goo in act 2
You can get a free Amalgam by going to the woodcarver with a lot of statues. You wont get any statues though. Merging 2 pelts lets you unlock the amalgam version of the shop of that pelt. Normal pelts of the Merged pelt can also be traded in the amalgam shop. Magnificus Paints Key Items after a certain number of runs. You can get Failure from the bag. Only talks. The eye have some things to say to it. When you defeat the Angler. Every next run gives the hook. When you defeat the Trapper. Every next run the Trapper gives you a discount. If you go to the Trader without any pelts. He will give you some teeth. He can say something about not going back empty handed again. Never has been able to do it and it seems to be a random dialogue. Randomly(?). A card from act 3's pelt trader will appear under the statue table. It disappears when you click it.
If you die enough times in act 1 you can find a card underneath the shelf where the player tokens gather, it says Hello and after that I don't know. Jess Cox found it during his playthrough but never checked his deck or drew the card, assuming it was added to your deck in the first place.
Do you know what happens if in act 3, in the boss fight where you can choose some mechanics you choose "every time a card dies I play a leepbot" and "every time a card dies all cards take 1 damage"? Can you create an infinite unstoppable loop?
if you pick all mechanics that cause infinite loops he'll eventually cut up the paintings and then the fight will just be a boss fight with no mechanics
I did that but i kinda cheese it actually,i got looped for several round before i got the card i wang,i cheated and make 2 ouboros with 65hp and attack,and as how to get the second one you know the doctor 2 head thingy so yeah,even with single 65 att and hp ouboros i struggled lol since its keep replacing the died card but thank fully i managed to create an hole and at the same time spawnet the mycobot so i managed to go through
Those appear regardless of talking to him. My first run I didn't find the bone lord thing and still got them all over the place after a while while I was pelt hunting.
i would love for this to be a real card game either a physical one or an online tcg like Hearthstone, i just wanna play Inscryption against another human player
It would be really cool I agree. Deffo would need some balancing though, cause Leshy can just summon cards from nowhere and weird cards like the oreborus and ring worm would need to be changed/removed 😂 Now I’m thinking about it, a two person game where one person has limited Leshy powers and one person is the player would be cool :0
*I have a secret to share that is not listed in this video!* It happened to me during a random run in act 1: while I was getting up and going towards the painting I'd say about mid-run I noticed something white sticking out from the "basket" underneath that spot where all the miniatures and the safe are. Upon getting close to it I was able to distinguish that it was a card, but it looked weird as hell. I didn't get a good look at it cause the angle was bad, but it appeared to have no numbers and no name but only shapes/black bars, and I could almost make out the image, which I think was a person, but not a face like our cards of when we die, a full body picture, like a person in a weird pose. Upon touching it, the screen glitched and it immediatly disappeared. I wasn't able to encounter it again and nothing seemed to change after I did that.
I know of one more secret that wasn't mentioned here. In act one, when you're picking up items from a backpack, there's a chance to find the slime mage in a jar (it's called failure). Leshy will say that it's useless and not to pick it up. If you do grab it, he'll repeat that it has no use in the game, so he'll take it and put it next to the squirrel statue in the cabin. You can talk to the slime mage and he has some unique dialogue about Magnificus. He'll also react if you have the magic eye or have found the stunted wolf. I think it happened in one of Gromek999's videos if anyone wants to see it.
So the Cat turns into the Undead Cat after 9 sacrifices and the Child 13 turns into Hungry Child after 13 sacrifices. If you give another creature like the Stoat the Many Lives sigil and sacrifice it enough times, will that creature transform too?
I was walking around looking for secrets and After finding the final pelt I stood up turned and exited to the right door turned left andkept going forward until I couldn't anymore then turned left and then I saw the woodcarver mask go into the sky IDK if this happens everytime tho
The campfire secret is kind of a win-win, you either get a very strong ring worm or poison creature, or you can upgrade any card with no fear of losing it.
In Act 1 there is an item called something like blob in a bottle. It is that green guy but in a form of bottle. You can get it in a pack event if you are not full on items. After you die you can talk to him. Like in Act 3 he helps you a bit.
@@PixelOverload The description of the “Failure” says something along the lines of: this item is useless, and that it provides no purpose to the player
You can actually watch the OLD_DATA being process and after its compacted into a black cube and is dumped in the hole you can see glitch through border
The eye is not an insta win, it is just... like 5/6 teeth/points on the scale, so if you are at neutral, i think it does instawin, or get you on the edge of winning, but can't use the eye to 'win' if you are on the verge of losing.
I use daggers + pliers to consistently win the Trapper fight in Act 1 after resetting. Since he will always do the 'too fast, too soon' trigger after resetting to that point (from the esc menu after beating the game), I always make sure to have those two items to just skip having to die an extra time to progress.
I wonder if the 4 blood 7/7 in act 1 is a heartstone reference. Cards usually have stats similar to their cost so a 3 mana 4/3 or a 8 mana 9/9 would be pretty balanced. A few years ago there was an expansion card called the "Flamewreathed Faceless". It cost 4 mana and had 7/7 stats (it would also cost you 2 mana next turn, but that is a very minor disadvantage). Essentially it was super overpowered as you could play it on turn 4 already.
omg, I did not know that the oroboros gets buffed every time it dies, imagine you get a statue that gives squirrels the undying sigil You literally get to buff your oroboros infinite times, you'd one shot EVERYTHING as soon as you have 2 squirrels and an oroboros
@@grootsguard126 don't see why they'd change it. Act1 is meant to give you plenty of ways to become so OP that you win the act easily enough, without having to rely on becoming terribly good at the game or anything.
@@Jonjon13Jonjon13 I just got done with second playthrough and yes you can get undying on squirrels and also bees if you get the bee card instead of the squirrel card
Another great video from Sifd! Thanks for the daily Inscryption content. I can't get enough of this game! Oh, and whomever edited this video must be a really awesome person too, lol
Amazing vid! I finished the game almost as soon as it came out, of course I didn't find all secrets and trying to browse through all forums for secrets was a pain. This guide is the absolute guide!
Another secret of the game is that if you open the safe before learning what bones are, it will contain this huge ol' meat. The one that is given to you when you win. But it doesn't have any candles. Also, if you take out the fisher's 1st candle before learning what bones are, he will spawn in 8 grizzly bears with the mighty leap sigil. As well as saying, "Too fast. Too soon." with glowing red eyes.
Necromancer+Oroborus. = massive power up. Also, didn't point out the slime in act one. Don't actually remember how you find the bottle, but you can find the slime in act 1.
You can get the Goo Mage in act 1 randomly from an item sack. Just pick him out of the options and then either use him or die with him in your pack for him to be moved to the shelf. Another massive power combo is Energy Conduit+Stim Mage. Energy Conduit gives you endless energy and Stim Mage lets you pay 3 energy to buff his stats.
For the glitched mob during act 2, I killed it during my first playthough by using a Unlimited Battery then just spammed 1 dmg lasers at it for a good three minutes. ... Well, i was quite disapointed by the result.
I was looking thoroughly in the comments and I don’t anyone has mentioned this, in act 1 when at the bone lords alter you can sacrifice a pelt if you picked up one. There is special dialogue mentioning how you sheepishly offer the pelt to the alter and that the bone lord is very displeased, it doesn’t do anything other than taking away your pelt but I thought it was neat. :)
The green goo guy gives a a lot of hints for like every puzzle if you get him on the shelf before you complete them. Also if you fail to take the film roll and only take the Magnificus Wolf from the clock, he will repeatedly pester you over and over saying different things as you play. The green goo also tells you to take the film roll, as does the other card characters. Another fun thing is just that the Bone Lord and Mushrooms around the cabin only appear after you've encountered them in game. There's some achievements not mentioned, but I suppose those aren't secrets.
The Pale most likely comes from the expression "Beyond the Pale" which refers to someone that does something unacceptable or inappropriate, in that expression the "pale" can also refer to a fenced in area, so in this case the pale would be the walls. And the clue is indeed found by the wall. It would make a bit more sense if it used the expression "beyond the pale" but I guess the developer found it to be too explicit a clue at that point.
Here's a tip in act 3 once you get to make your own card make a card that doesn't cost a single energy make its attack 0 and health 1 to save sp and give it that sigil where it gives free energy everytime you play it and immortal its op its basically unlimited energy but you have to place it and kill it repeatedly
I made a card that was supposed to be free (accidentally left it one cost, but later gave it battery) that is immortal and spawns a card. Mr. Screw You is an infinite card generator, but if you spawn too much, it becomes hard to play newer cards.
Man, what hits me hard as a realization is that if you do the Bone Lord stuff, Luke isn't the only one who reacts to what's in the Old Data- P03 does too. *Yet he still tries to spread it*. It makes me wonder what the Scrybes would've been like if they'd attained sapience without the corruptive affects- after all, it's pretty much stated the reason they're enemies is BECAUSE of the Old Data. Were they originally meant to be friends and allies?
one of the hidden achievements is unlocked when you delete the file you chose after it dies. P03 has some unique dialogue after the fight if you do. The actual death of the card just creates a text file that says something like “have some integrity, delete the file”
hi sifd!! ive long since stopped watching your videos but i just want to thank you for all the inscryption content you made, both modded and vanilla its been such a blast to watch them over a meal or two everyday when i couldnt find what to watch and much love for where your channel has gotten to now! keep it up :D
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but if you drag on the game for too long, the opposing character (Leshy or Po3) will play a Starvation card. 1/1 stats, and it is unattackable, meaning you will continously take damage
59:24 The c is silent and the o is the stressed syllable (ai · *saa* · suh · leez). And it means two sides are equal length. As a non-native English speaker I was also unfamiliar with the word, but I suspect most English speakers will know it, since it's from basic geometry.
@Frugal Finch I didn't know the isosceles term in English, but I do know calculus in my native language. "Isosceles" is a word with Greek origin, which I don't understand, so it didn't intuitively mean anything to me.
I encountered the player “Luke” or “TheLuckyCarder” speaking voice lines the run after you beat the cabin but don’t have the film, I would count this as an Easter egg. He says stuff like “This boss again” etc.
Hi, I’ve been curious about 2 things that might be secrets. First, can you beat act 1 without killing the moon? Like dagger and pliers? The second is, can you get a true draw. By that I mean, killing the moon with a mirror tentacles and not having any cards left. So you couldn’t play anything and he can’t starve you? I would love to know if those work update: if you beet leshy while using the dagger, the character portrait has a missing eye update 2: drawing the game permanetly soflocks it
You can an with dagger and pliers, and you can even win by cutting the moon with scissors lol. He has special dialogue for that one. And you can also make the moon 0 power with the stinky sigil and he has dialogue for that as well. Idk about the draw
Not sure if you saw one of his recent vids “Zerg mod” - Spoiler* But he was able to attack Leshy directly for the finale. There wasn’t any special dialogue, then again it was a mod that technically allowed it. Not sure if there is a similar work-around in the game.
Also you can’t have an infinite standoff with the moon (cus no starvation shows up) So the moon will gain 1 damage per turn, if you don’t have any cards to draw
that ancient obol secret would be comeing handy since i decided to play act2 with the undead deck :O also in act 3 are more hidden areas with some powerups, some fights and money to find ^^
One more thing in act 1: If you visit the old wood carver enough times to fill up your totem parts inventory, you get an amalgam with an added sigil instead of the wood carving, pretty neat!
damn, I kept keeping the knife for the toughest battles and had it not been for this video I would never use it lmao, thanks a lot, now back to the game
For the battle where you choose a file,the Older the STRONGER,mine was old enough to 2 shot alone,still what happens if you try to select an Inscryption file
I picked the bug report executable and he commented something along the lines of "Hey, be careful with that one". But I don't know if it was because it was an Inscryption file or because it was an executable.
@@Sylfa P03 says it because it’s an inscryption file, (because it might make the game not function correctly if it’s deleted) and this impacts lore because he knows he’s in a game.
If you look left after submitting all 5 holopelts to the trader you will see the woodcarver who immediately recedes into the floor [discovered this myself and i jumped from it]
If you use stink sigil during Act 1
Leshy battle Moon section. He will complain how the game is unfair and by quote
"Moons dont have a sense of smell"
I beat Leshy's part in 4 runs thanks to that and Mothman with only the Magpie's eye boon. Stinkbug and Mothman, what a team
@@vibevizier6512 The moon starts getting buffed if you deck yourself (run out of cards to draw without winning), gaining 1 Attack each turn it remains alive after you've decked yourself.
Yeah. I think the moon should have have 2 attack just to make it a bit more interesting. It’s an EPIC fight regardless, but I think it could be a bit more challenging for a Final Boss IMO
I remember seeing that 😅
I beat him in 2 moves, because of a deathcard with the power of and health of the swamp monster (I forgot its name) and the cost of 1 that also was also borrowing the cockroach's immortality and was enhanced by the flame multiple times and uroborus.
The hungry child is a reference to its game jam early launch "SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE", where in the end you have to chose to either sacrifice yourself or your child, which is pretty neat
Oh i though that was ovious
@@random_dude9052 some people out there dont know
Leshy was evil back in the day lol
Coming in with the a real secret. Nice.
Could someone explain me how he get ouroboros and ourobot at the same time?
There's a neat little thing you can do in act 1, where if you lose your last life while one-eyed, and then make your deathcard while one-eyed, the lack of second eye will also appear on your deathcard. I found that out on my own, with an idea I had.
And thus I named my one-eyed deathcard "CYCLOPES"
@@balrogbean This also happens if you win, Lathrix had skipped part of the game at the final fight for Leshy with the pliers and knife, and in his victory card he had one eye missing
I called myself where’s me eye when I did that
I got that too
INCREDIBLY late but also; if you infuse a sigil onto the deathcard, both eyes will glow but the missing eye will be more cyan than white!
The hungry child is a remnant of the first flash game version of the game, before it got picked up by Devolver. You would play as a crash survivor who got captured by a stranger and forced to play in order to eat. At the end you decide who to feed, yourself or your hungry child who apparently was standing behind you the whole time.
how did you know?
They probably either played it, or saw a TH-camr by the name of manlybadasshero play it when it was first released
@@derpadothebird2106 Yeaaah that's pretty much exactly it i'm debunked

@@wk8637 the goo wizard is such a bro, magnificus just does him dirty....
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! He is so cute and so happy whenever he is out and used in the deck.
The Bone Lord Horn is so busted it can be used for the achievement of "Inflict 666 damage in one turn" by spamming it with the infinite energy circuit and the bone graveyard. Boost the bone card to 666 and swing for game.
I love the fact the game doesn't get scared of pulling off going infinite like any good, completely unbalanced card game should
There's also a way of doing those same numbers using the Orboros Card.
Ouroboros is better since you can actually keep the 666 damage rather than it going away after the achievement (since it takes a while of grinding to get).
Stim mage is fastest way to get 666 damage achieve imo
Mtg made black lotus for a reason
@@trevorhaddox6884 Which pays off in Act 3 when it starts costing hundreds to upgrade cards if you upgrade them as often as you can.
One more secret with Leashy is that of you get 2 golden pelts and then use the mushroom guy to combine them, you get a weird gold pelt that you can sell for legendary fused cards really op
For any fused pelt, rabbit and wolf pelts work too
In part 1, if you die enough times and collect every figurine, the death tarot card from part 3 will appear underneath them. If you click on it the card glitches and disappears.
i must of died alot then cus i got that very quickly
Fun fact: I’ve gotten so lucky (or in this case unlucky) that instead of the survivors eating a ringworm it became a 0-9. Disappointing yet also kind of amazing
Lmao imagine
i once got a 4-1 ringworm because of that too lol
@@Chaosking620 I also got a 4 - 1 ringworm.
It's surprisingly good, given the 1 cost
I got an 8-9 before. I cried.
When a friend of mine told me about the secret with the ringworm and the survivors, I rushed to check it out.
I ended up with a 0/25 ringworm in that run. I was really confused.
I never knew about the poison campfire secret. Also when you buy cards from the traper you can buy lots of rabbit pelts if you get 8, merge 2 with the mushroom guys and then trade with the trader you can get all the doubled cards offered. Its super op and even stronger if you use 8 rare pelts including the merged one.
Only get 5 rare pelts as it maxes you out at 4 available rare cards on sale. Combining the pelts more than once doesn't raise the abilities of the cards on offer more than if they were only combined once.
Also if you poison the campfire with a ring worm the survivors never return for the whole run. Its super op. Note that it MUST be a Ring Worm
not really, that's just Ringworm special secret in general
any poisonois creature would do too (like adder)
@@Chaosking620 ahh but if you sacrifice a creature to move the poison ability to lets say stoat l, the campfire will survive
so it is likely creature based, not sigil based
Another secret for act 1: static card. It is a card with static, no sigils (you can't add any either) but when you draw it it becomes a random card until the fight ends, where it reverts.
¿have anyone tried to sacrifice it to the bone lord on the act 1 event to delete cards in exchange for boons? haven't seen anyone do it so far. i know the proper sacrifice is the black goat but the bone lord is closely realated to the old data so i think is worth trying.
@@professorsapling I have. It was disappointing. So far only the black goat has anything special there.
Static card is the OLD_DATA that was fished up

On the file boss in Act 3, if you select an audio file, it actually plays the audio, much to P03's annoyance.
I didn't know that, and played the Mushroom Dance file from Undertale, so that ended up being pretty funny.
I did the Pico voices from fnf
I got unnecessarily pumped at that-

@@Tetrimis madness required
You forgot to mention that the Ourobouros and the Ringworm both count as rings, so if do the ring trial before fighting Leshy you get a Major Boon even if you didn't get the ring from the clock.
thank you leshy for those technicalities

Another secret I haven't seen mentioned is if you beat the first phase of the angler in Act one on your very first life Leshy will shout "Too Soon!" and summon bears on every single card spot on his side of the field.
Oh neat!
I've only seen that happen when getting to the trader too soon (I forget the exact conditions)
Markiplier did this. Lol
@@ManaPsirandoyou have to make it there without making a death card at all that save
The game does this, because the player hasn’t been introduced to certain mechanics yet. You are only taught about bones after your first loss, meaning the game tried to force you to lose.
Yea when I saw that I thought “shit must have killed him too fast”
In Act 1 having the eye of Magnificus let’s you see a hidden card when browsing through the player pieces. This only happens after you complete the event where you pick up your own piece.
What's the card?
@@LeonSteelpaw it’s one of the tarot cards the trader shows you in act 3
Does the card do something?
magnificus eye has nothing to do with it. the death cards appears there when all player pieces are there
@@KopieOG so if you die a LOT of times in act 1 then the tarot card will spawn, cause im pretty sure its impossible to have magnifficuses eye when selecting a peice normally, and me messing with the file so that i do have the eye equipped early, will show nothing. So i just need to die a lot, be on the death grind.
You were actually supposed to discover the wood carver with the magic monocle.
Also if you chose a file to delete from the actual Inscryption game directory, he tells you to be extra careful with that.
Makes me wonder if it's possible to chose System 32 then
@@iaxacs3801 You can't choose System32 because it's a folder, but i don't know if there is special dialogue for choosing critical system files.

16:10. I've tested this. It needs to be the Black Goat exactly. Having the sigil on another unit doesn't work.
I can corroborate this.
So it works like the event of poisoning the survivors. Only cards that originally have the sigil count.

I just found another secret. I went back to chapter one and found the death tarot card from the final chapter under his safe. Also, the goo said that he remembers us defeating Leshy and that I would need something up my sleeve to free him.
The “something up my sleeve” is referring to the film roll
There is one small secret with the bone lord in act 1. Offering it a pelt annoys it, and it doesn’t give you its boon.
I found this out on accident, I had to get rid of a pelt I had for 2 sections
yep, it annoyed me back
reminded me a legend how people deceived the gods. put 2 heaps: one covered with good pelts and the second with lard. and told the gods to choose which offering they wanted. they chose the skins, but underneath there were wastes such as entrails, bones, etc. and under the fat was meat and everything else edible
Fun fact, bifurcated strike on a sniper bot will allow it to attack 2 selected enemies.
I put the sniper sigil on a double gunner. Same deal. Was pretty neat.
If you chose a jpeg in the archivist fight P03 will use that jpeg as its face.
You can make him wear the stoat face again with this method but it doesn't do anything.
Also, Showing him a Torrent file will make him comment about it
Oh yeah.
Heard a guy used a JPEG of his own face doing a pog on a card.
Hilarious
.png works too
It can also play certain audio files. I wound up playing some bgm from Minit.
Some bastards who wrote a puzzle walkthrough guide said the caged wolf needed to be sacrificed on the sacrificial altar, not let it be killed(which was my first instinct), which wasted hours of my time because I couldn't find a sacrifical altar(which doesn't show up until later). Thank you for helping me dispel their lies.
To their defense, sacrificing the wolf works too. The game wants to prevent a softlock by losing the caged wolf other than the intended way.
one of 2 types of sacrificial altars is available right away, no?
@@Fabelaz both are, the skill transfer from prospector and the bone lord as soon as you get to snow zone, only requirement for the second is to have died at least once, which will happen anyway because fishermen always kills you if you haven't died yet.
@@thespanishinquisition4078 No he wont, its possible to win in your first run, this channel has a video about it.
If you are curious on how to beat the fisherman: have either a uraiuli or mothman (or something that has more than 5 damage) on the board, use scissors on the bear blocking your card and boom, you won
Having the prospector hit it with the pick to turn it into gold also works, that's how I did it as I felt playing it in a boss fight was a good way to kill it.
In act one sometimes Leshy will offer a static card with nothing on it and when played it will turn into a random card, sometimes there will be a card in the box under the wooden carvings of the players, you can also sometimes get one of magnificouses apprentices a goop abomonation in a bottle when getting an item and you can only talk to him with the magic eye he gives secret tips and if you meet the goop guy in act 1 then in act 3 he will be in the pipes and you can still talk to him through some clear glass parts of the pipes
another one, if you don't have a full pack and one of ur creatures gets eaten by the survivors at the fire, you can keep the bones
He offers you the static card when you make a death card with 0 cost
the goop guy will be in the pipes even if you didnt meet him in act 1

You can actually watch the "glitch" be processed. IT turns into some black box at the end but falls into a hole. Never figured out if there was a way to interact with it.
I noticed it and followed it all the way, there was no way to interact with it, unfortunately
Same, wasted like 6 minutes on it
the glitch is supposed to be a fragment of the OLD_DATA.
He uses it to print the card with which he corrupts and takes control over the game at the end.
Also, the smelter bot has some very weird voice lines that appear for half a second before his actual lines. "HELP ME OU-" "NONONONO" and such. If you watch the conveyors after he throws himself to the smelter... bones appear through the other side. Creepy!

Couple extra secrets for act 1: If you open the safe straight away before you have access to the book, inside there will be MEAT
If you don't use the knife and instead beat Leshy over and over again, you will be shown Magnificus creating a painting of the knife in his realm
You could give the stout the duplicate ability and sacrifice him over and over again. No special interaction but it's fun :)
You can actually beat the bosses when they are "impossible" and Leshy will have red eyes for the rest of the run.
The first guaranteed loss where you pick up the candle can't be beaten, it will continuously force spawn bears over and over again unlike the bosses
In the tutorial for act 1, there are extra voice lines if you decide to just place 1 squirrel every round
If you don’t even break the caged wolf, magnificus shows the caged wolf instead
If you sacrifice Child 13 26 times it turns into Hungry Man apparently, but hungry child doesn't have many lives 15:20
Maybe that is hidden, but if you try to sac it it changes back?.
This isn't a secret or a glitch. Its a thing...? The hammer to destroy cards... it only deals 100 damage. My Oroboros takes 3 hammers to kill.
Yeah, cards with a hit shield also take a second hammer to kill.
It's kind of similar to how bomb robots only deal 10 damage so don't actually one shot everything, most people don't know that since virtually every normal card is killed in one bomb hit.

There is one more secret, in act 3, at a certain point, if you go to the area of the room on the left and you go to the first puzzle area, where it asks you to seal the images with cards, if you turn around, The face of the shaper will appear for a few moments, this scared me a lot the first time it happened to me
There's actually lots more secret interactions in Act 1. When the Bone Lord skull appears where your candles used to be, if you click on it rapidly, its eyes glow red. I don't believe there's anything more to this secret. Sometimes when you get up from the table and turn right, there can also be a special tarot card from the Traders right below where you would grab your figurine, I'm not sure if there is any way to initiate this or if it's like the jumpscare secret just like the end of the card interactions chapter in the video.
Many players may know that if you progress too quickly in the game (Getting to the Angler on your first life, and to the Trapper on your first or second life), you encounter a board full of Grizzlies that have the Mighty Leap Sigil. However, with the proper preparations, you can actually bypass this Grizzly swarm sort of thing. If you do manage to do so, Leshy's eyes do not go back to normal. They retain their red color until you go back to the main menu and continue again, or if you encounter the cave trial event, because Leshy changes his eyes there.
Some players also may not know that if you solve the painting puzzle by playing the specific cards in the correct spots, you get a reward. Initially you get a clover, which allows you to reroll your card choices during a card event on the map. I believe this is also useless, but you can actually take it to the barrel where the Bone Lord skull is and place it down. If you solve the painting puzzle again, you get an extra candle, giving you a total of 3 lives. This candle will give you an extra smoke card during boss battles. If you solve the puzzle a third time, you get a little bee figurine. It may not be immediately obvious what it does, but when you bring it to Leshy, he replaces your side deck of Squirrels with Bees, and if you end up dying again, you will also start with an insect totem head, alongside the squirrel one. The only purpose the Squirrel head now serves is if you get a Squirrel in a bottle, which is very situational.
If you get up and go to the safe on your first life, you can actually see a hand there on the right side. It's assumed this is Grimora's hand, much like how when you defeat Leshy and turn him into a card, you can see Magnificus' and P03's bodies inside the room, on the same wall as Leshy's deathcard, but I don't believe it's confirmed if this is Grimora's hand. You can also open the safe to find a pile of rotting meat, the same pile of meat Leshy rewards you with if you manage to defeat him.
If you click on the candles next to the slide puzzles every time you die and return to the cabin, on the third time you will get a smoke card from the glass above them. After doing this, instead of getting "The Smoke" during boss battles, you get "Greater Smoke", which is the same thing but has 1 damage and 3 health, as opposed to 0 damage and 1 health.
There are also many special names that certain cards can have if you give them the Fledgling sigil.
1. Worker Ants and Flying Ants will turn into an Ant Queen, and only gain 2 health as opposed to the normal 1 damage and 2 health other cards get, and the Flying Ant loses its Airborne sigil. This is intentional, because if you give the sigil to an Ant Queen, it will turn into an Elder Ant Queen, and have an additional 1 base damage, resulting in 2 damage when placed on the board alone.
2. Much like how an Elk Fawn will turn into an Elk, if you give the sigil to an Elk, it will turn into a Moose Buck, and replace it's Sprinter sigil with the Hefty Sigil.
3. A Mole will turn into the Mole Man, gaining the Mighty Leap sigil.
4. A Mantis will turn into Mantis God, giving up it's Bifurcated Strike sigil for Trifurcated Strike.
As for other changes, these cards still only gain the standard +1/+2 for stats, but they do have unique names.
1. Alpha becomes "Omega"
2. Child 13 becomes "Child 14"
3. Dams from the Beaver, or another card with such sigil, will become a "God Dam"
4. Long Elk becomes "Longer Elk"
5. Opossums become "Awesome Opossum"
6. Great Whites become "Greater White"
7. The Curious Egg from Kaycee's Mod becomes an "Extra Curious Egg"
8. Deathcards uniquely will actually have no name change, just the stat increase.
9. And lastly, Mothman will become "Final Form". This is probably the most secret one of all, because it requires you to have applied the Unkillable Sigil to your Strange Larva, have the Fledgling sigil for your insect cards with the use of your totem, have your Mothman die or be sacrificed, placed back down on the board, and have it survive for a single turn without winning.
If you take 2 golden pelts, or any other pelt type, to the Mycologists, they will combine the pelts if you choose them. This may seem useless, however, when you go to the Trader, they will give you cards that have been combined as if they were combined by the Mycologists. And interestingly enough, you only need one combined pelt. If you have other normal pelts alongside your combined one, you will be able to buy the other combined cards with the normal pelts. Because of this, it's possible to get an Ouroboros that has it's stats doubled from normal, and the same would go for any other rare card you can normally only obtain one of.
It's actually possible to beat Leshy on your first life ever. It's difficult, but you can. You just need the right cards and the right items to bypass the Grizzly Swarms.
The game has a "fair draw" mechanic. Every time you begin a battle, you always draw one squirrel, and at least one 1 blood card, assuming you have one. This is to give you a fair chance at winning when entering battles, otherwise it's possible you could be left with no play to make on your first turn. You can abuse this mechanic to your advantage, by getting a black goat, and ideally putting Unkillable onto it, and then get a bunch of 3 blood cards, never picking 1 blood cards when getting around to card events on the map, so you get your Black Goat on your first draw every battle. With this strategy, it's also ideal to keep your deck as small as possible, so you can power up your 3 blood cards and have them do lots of damage.
You can also put hoarder onto your black goat, and just go all in with upgrades on a single 3 blood card, and you can play it every single first turn, since you get your Black Goat on the first turn, and get a squirrel to play it. This strategy is especially useful when trying skull storm in Kaycee's mod.
Of course, if you go to the Mycologists without duplicate cards, they will choose 3 random cards from your deck that you can choose a duplicate of. If you go to the Trader without pelts, they give you teeth to go to the Trapper and buy pelts. However, if you go to the sacrificial stones where you would apply sigils to other cards, but you don't have any valid cards to draw from or apply sigils to, Leshy will tell you that they shake and rumble with anger.
If you apply the Annoying sigil to a Mirror Tentacle with the use of the Annoying challenge skull in Kaycee's mod, you can place a normal Mirror Tentacle in the leftmost spot, your Mirror Tentacle with Annoying next to it, and use the Wiseclock to rotate all cards on the board one space clockwise, the two Mirrors will actually infinitely buff each other's damage. If you managed to also put Airborne onto the same Mirror Tentacle you put Annoying onto, you can attack directly over the opposing one, and crash the game, assuming the damage has gone high enough.
There's also one more secret about a card from Kaycee's mod, the Ijiraq. Until it is played on the playing field, you normally cannot see this card's true form, and can only identify it with it's red glowing eyes if you are looking at your deck on the map, or when choosing it, it will replicate another card choice, but have a ? at the end of its name. You can also identify this card if the card it is mimicking has an extra sigil applied to it, as apparently this extra sigil will be more greenish in color than normal.
Because of this card's unique ability to mimic other cards, it's cost to play on the board changes, as it could mimic a cheap or even free card, or it could mimic an expensive card. Interestingly enough however, if it mimics a bone card, it will not spend the bones when played.
Also, because of it's shapeshifting abilities, this means you cannot apply extra sigils to it or upgrade it at a campfire. It can still appear in a campfire encounter however, and normally, Ants cannot have their power upgraded at these campfires because of their special power sigil, but if the Ijiraq mimics an Ant card (or other card that has a special power sigil such as an Ant's), if placed on the campfire it will not upgrade the Ijiraq's damage, and will instead increase the damage of the card it was mimicking, meaning you can increase the base damage of any Ant card.
Lastly, if you place down a card with the Hoarder sigil, or use the Magpie's Lens, instead of giving your the Ijiraq card if you happen to choose it, it will instead just give you a copy of the said card. As far as I'm aware, this feature is the only way you could get a duplicate Ouroboros Card, and have two in your hand.
This is all I know of secrets in Act 1 and Kaycee's mod at the moment, I'm sure there's other secrets and tidbits, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Technically if you are lucky, you can have infinite oroboris cards, but only for that round.
If you give your card the blood sigle and have a totem with the snake head and the sigle that gives you a duplicate card into your hand when said card is played.
Other than that, it isn’t permanent.
Some cards also evolve when given fledgling like mantis will buff into mantis god.
Mole becomes Mole Man.
can gecko evolve?
Child 13 becomes Child 14

If You Draw A Ring Worm In The *Trial Of The Ring* You Can Also Win A Boon

Is it a guaranteed draw though? I had the Ring worm + Ouroboros and the first card it drew was the Ring worm, I assumed the "secret use" of that card was to guarantee a win of trial of the ring.

The mycologist fight is actually super easy if you do an item combo. Turn 1 fill the board with bombs and then shield the ones on your side. This is a double board clear for turns 1 and 2. So you have a couple turns to establish a hand and gain some energy and then actually start playing on turn 3.
Every fight is pretty easy with that. I accidentally skip the some of the gimmick of some bosses because I just beat them too fast
"How to bring a nuke to a game of cards"
You can click the little rat that appear next to leshy every now and then in act 2, but it's a relatively minor thing.
If you get the evolve sigil on child 13 it becomes child 14, I wonder if that increases the sacrifice limit too.
And what if it became the “Starving Man” from the game jam version of Inscryption
That would be pretty neato

The painting of the slime mage also appears again on the way to Magnificus. I don’t know if it’s always there of if you need to talk with the slime mage first so he gets the courage to show Magnificus…
Mine had the slime mage in that painting be erased or painted over with white.

@@eccentricdownfall321 Even Leshy seems to care about his underlings.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 Leshy just wanted to play cards.
Yes, if you don't talk with slime the painting won't appear
The map in Act 3 is actually the map from Act 2, modified by P03 to look more like its name - BOTopia - suggests. Yet another hint that the Mycologists are in fact there.
If you alt+F4 in the final card match of Act 2, you can go straight to the victory animation upon reboot. I just got to Act 3 by doing this.
you can also just press esc and exit to the main menu and go back to the game for the same effect :P
I had the wrong deck so I just forfeited, and it still moved on to act 3
Yeah, the fight doesn't actually matter, more of an interactive narrative scene.
i know its supposed to be like a dark reference to the early game jam
but the fact that this cool dragon thing just becomes "Hongry Child" is hilarious to me

so can you not do anything with the green goo guy on the shelf in act 1?
No but he gives hits for some of the puzzle
Ayo I watched your circle in minecraft video
@@Mikewazowskioverheaven you actually have to fight him. He's the first apprentice of mr. Painter dude.

@@Mikewazowskioverheaven it is in act 3. It isn't that hard to find though. After a certain point, just look around the area, and you'll find clues to the thing that summoned the goo in act 2
You can get a free Amalgam by going to the woodcarver with a lot of statues. You wont get any statues though.
Merging 2 pelts lets you unlock the amalgam version of the shop of that pelt. Normal pelts of the Merged pelt can also be traded in the amalgam shop.
Magnificus Paints Key Items after a certain number of runs.
You can get Failure from the bag. Only talks. The eye have some things to say to it.
When you defeat the Angler. Every next run gives the hook.
When you defeat the Trapper. Every next run the Trapper gives you a discount.
If you go to the Trader without any pelts. He will give you some teeth. He can say something about not going back empty handed again. Never has been able to do it and it seems to be a random dialogue.
Randomly(?). A card from act 3's pelt trader will appear under the statue table. It disappears when you click it.
If you have the Angler hook when you fight him and steal back a card he took from you you get an achievement I hear
In Act 1 you can actually play part of the "Karnoffel Code" curse with certain cards on the board and they all get named "STOP".
23K2
how do you do this?
all the achievements are named after MTG cards, just a fun little easter egg.
41:43 the kraken cards exist in act 1, the rules for them were painted on
They actually were “inked” because the tentacle cards are technically octopuses, because they “ink” things
When you choose a file that gets deleted if it dies, just choose the Inscryption file itself. Cosmic brain.
I chose my system 32 file as a joke. It was frightening
the hungry child card is a reference to the demo of the game "sacrifices must be made" I think
Activating the skull in act 1 apparently gives you a temporal 1 bone at battle start boon for the run
If you die enough times in act 1 you can find a card underneath the shelf where the player tokens gather, it says Hello and after that I don't know. Jess Cox found it during his playthrough but never checked his deck or drew the card, assuming it was added to your deck in the first place.
Do you know what happens if in act 3, in the boss fight where you can choose some mechanics you choose "every time a card dies I play a leepbot" and "every time a card dies all cards take 1 damage"? Can you create an infinite unstoppable loop?
Yes, and it’s hilarious
If you create that loop he will be pissed off after sometime and will cancel the spawn effect.
It happened in my game had a good laugh though
if you pick all mechanics that cause infinite loops he'll eventually cut up the paintings and then the fight will just be a boss fight with no mechanics
I did that but i kinda cheese it actually,i got looped for several round before i got the card i wang,i cheated and make 2 ouboros with 65hp and attack,and as how to get the second one you know the doctor 2 head thingy so yeah,even with single 65 att and hp ouboros i struggled lol since its keep replacing the died card but thank fully i managed to create an hole and at the same time spawnet the mycobot so i managed to go through
@@riciirizaldii8811 Mycobot is amazeballs if you want a quick victory
In act 3 after talking to the bone lord a second time, files appear in the hidden dead ends of the map that relate to the arg
Those appear regardless of talking to him. My first run I didn't find the bone lord thing and still got them all over the place after a while while I was pelt hunting.
They appear after defeating the Archivist boss (bottom right) since it releases those files in the first place.
i would love for this to be a real card game either a physical one or an online tcg like Hearthstone, i just wanna play Inscryption against another human player
Too bad only Daniel Mullins can do this game, because of Author Rights
If not AR, I could do such a game(just need to learn online interactions)))
i also want to battle other people in this card game
It would be really cool I agree. Deffo would need some balancing though, cause Leshy can just summon cards from nowhere and weird cards like the oreborus and ring worm would need to be changed/removed 😂
Now I’m thinking about it, a two person game where one person has limited Leshy powers and one person is the player would be cool :0
@@Noaomi except if the player the ourobourus then you just both sit for two minutes counting overkill
It would definitely need to have a list of forbidden cards, like getting rid of Ouro and sigils like fecundity.
*I have a secret to share that is not listed in this video!* It happened to me during a random run in act 1: while I was getting up and going towards the painting I'd say about mid-run I noticed something white sticking out from the "basket" underneath that spot where all the miniatures and the safe are. Upon getting close to it I was able to distinguish that it was a card, but it looked weird as hell. I didn't get a good look at it cause the angle was bad, but it appeared to have no numbers and no name but only shapes/black bars, and I could almost make out the image, which I think was a person, but not a face like our cards of when we die, a full body picture, like a person in a weird pose. Upon touching it, the screen glitched and it immediatly disappeared. I wasn't able to encounter it again and nothing seemed to change after I did that.
I think I saw it before in a screenshot from someone. Was it one of the tarot cards like here 58:05?
It do be the death tarot
I know of one more secret that wasn't mentioned here. In act one, when you're picking up items from a backpack, there's a chance to find the slime mage in a jar (it's called failure). Leshy will say that it's useless and not to pick it up. If you do grab it, he'll repeat that it has no use in the game, so he'll take it and put it next to the squirrel statue in the cabin. You can talk to the slime mage and he has some unique dialogue about Magnificus. He'll also react if you have the magic eye or have found the stunted wolf.
I think it happened in one of Gromek999's videos if anyone wants to see it.
thats not a secret
It also happened in ManlyBadassHero’s playthrough
@@deadassbird3763 if every puzzle in the room count as a secret then yes goo guy also counts
@@nigoulenoblehiboux9812 e thats valid point
So the Cat turns into the Undead Cat after 9 sacrifices and the Child 13 turns into Hungry Child after 13 sacrifices. If you give another creature like the Stoat the Many Lives sigil and sacrifice it enough times, will that creature transform too?
no idea, anyone try it yet?
ManlyBadassHero did that. Other than some dialogue not much changed.
No
Even Pharaoh's pet in Act 2 doesn't transform in anything
So Cats and Child 13s just don't work for infinite blood
I don't think so, just how Ouroboros buffing trait is not found in any other card or Child 13 transforming to attack mode.
In part 3 when you're in Leshy's area a holo woodcarver mask can be seen occasionally when looking into dark areas
I was walking around looking for secrets and After finding the final pelt I stood up turned and exited to the right door turned left andkept going forward until I couldn't anymore then turned left and then I saw the woodcarver mask go into the sky IDK if this happens everytime tho
The campfire secret is kind of a win-win, you either get a very strong ring worm or poison creature, or you can upgrade any card with no fear of losing it.
I wish there was a alternative joke ending if you actually kill the glitch, he only did have one
In Act 1 there is an item called something like blob in a bottle. It is that green guy but in a form of bottle. You can get it in a pack event if you are not full on items. After you die you can talk to him. Like in Act 3 he helps you a bit.
You don't need to die, if you try to use him, Leshy says that you can't and puts him on the shelf. From there you can just get up and talk to him
The item is simply called "Failure"
@@PixelOverload The description of the “Failure” says something along the lines of: this item is useless, and that it provides no purpose to the player
There is few more interaction with card, specially with sigil of fledgling, for example mantis change into mantis god instead of elder mantis
You can actually watch the OLD_DATA being process and after its compacted into a black cube and is dumped in the hole you can see glitch through border
The eye is not an insta win, it is just... like 5/6 teeth/points on the scale, so if you are at neutral, i think it does instawin, or get you on the edge of winning, but can't use the eye to 'win' if you are on the verge of losing.
The eye is 4 points on the scale. So... Dagger and pliers together is a turn 0 win.
I use daggers + pliers to consistently win the Trapper fight in Act 1 after resetting. Since he will always do the 'too fast, too soon' trigger after resetting to that point (from the esc menu after beating the game), I always make sure to have those two items to just skip having to die an extra time to progress.
I wonder if the 4 blood 7/7 in act 1 is a heartstone reference.
Cards usually have stats similar to their cost so a 3 mana 4/3 or a 8 mana 9/9 would be pretty balanced.
A few years ago there was an expansion card called the "Flamewreathed Faceless". It cost 4 mana and had 7/7 stats (it would also cost you 2 mana next turn, but that is a very minor disadvantage).
Essentially it was super overpowered as you could play it on turn 4 already.
4 mana 7/7 became a meme after that, there's been more cards "like that" since then, but with massive drawbacks I think
omg, I did not know that the oroboros gets buffed every time it dies, imagine you get a statue that gives squirrels the undying sigil
You literally get to buff your oroboros infinite times, you'd one shot EVERYTHING as soon as you have 2 squirrels and an oroboros
I don't know if they changed it but I got undying on my squirrel this was the day after the game came out so they probably changed it
@@grootsguard126 don't see why they'd change it. Act1 is meant to give you plenty of ways to become so OP that you win the act easily enough, without having to rely on becoming terribly good at the game or anything.
@@Jonjon13Jonjon13 I just got done with second playthrough and yes you can get undying on squirrels and also bees if you get the bee card instead of the squirrel card
@@Jonjon13Jonjon13 I died many times :(
been there done that (during the moon fight made it 40/40 one turn)
Another great video from Sifd! Thanks for the daily Inscryption content. I can't get enough of this game! Oh, and whomever edited this video must be a really awesome person too, lol
Amazing vid! I finished the game almost as soon as it came out, of course I didn't find all secrets and trying to browse through all forums for secrets was a pain. This guide is the absolute guide!
Another secret of the game is that if you open the safe before learning what bones are, it will contain this huge ol' meat. The one that is given to you when you win. But it doesn't have any candles.
Also, if you take out the fisher's 1st candle before learning what bones are, he will spawn in 8 grizzly bears with the mighty leap sigil. As well as saying, "Too fast. Too soon." with glowing red eyes.
Necromancer+Oroborus. = massive power up.
Also, didn't point out the slime in act one. Don't actually remember how you find the bottle, but you can find the slime in act 1.
You can get the Goo Mage in act 1 randomly from an item sack. Just pick him out of the options and then either use him or die with him in your pack for him to be moved to the shelf.
Another massive power combo is Energy Conduit+Stim Mage. Energy Conduit gives you endless energy and Stim Mage lets you pay 3 energy to buff his stats.
I think you missed the free card in the recycling bin in Act 2, just a .5% for 100% completion
Also, next speedrun category, 100%?
JK I wouldn't make you suffer that
Hungry Child, reference to the Game Jam version of this, Sacrifices Must Be Made.
Nice touch.
For the glitched mob during act 2, I killed it during my first playthough by using a Unlimited Battery then just spammed 1 dmg lasers at it for a good three minutes.
... Well, i was quite disapointed by the result.
I was looking thoroughly in the comments and I don’t anyone has mentioned this, in act 1 when at the bone lords alter you can sacrifice a pelt if you picked up one.
There is special dialogue mentioning how you sheepishly offer the pelt to the alter and that the bone lord is very displeased, it doesn’t do anything other than taking away your pelt but I thought it was neat. :)
Also wow if you make a part two for this video, you have a lot of material from the comments alone.
The green goo guy gives a a lot of hints for like every puzzle if you get him on the shelf before you complete them.
Also if you fail to take the film roll and only take the Magnificus Wolf from the clock, he will repeatedly pester you over and over saying different things as you play. The green goo also tells you to take the film roll, as does the other card characters.
Another fun thing is just that the Bone Lord and Mushrooms around the cabin only appear after you've encountered them in game.
There's some achievements not mentioned, but I suppose those aren't secrets.
The Pale most likely comes from the expression "Beyond the Pale" which refers to someone that does something unacceptable or inappropriate, in that expression the "pale" can also refer to a fenced in area, so in this case the pale would be the walls. And the clue is indeed found by the wall. It would make a bit more sense if it used the expression "beyond the pale" but I guess the developer found it to be too explicit a clue at that point.
I am pretty sure it was a reference that people who stay in the dark are pale.
In Act 1 you can also get a static card that says deepbeneath in binary when you pick it up. Whenever you draw it, it becomes a random card.
The deepbeneath bit was for the ARG! :D
I wondered what the locked doors were about after watching Alienrock's streams, that's awesome to finally know what that secret was all about! :D
The tentacle and clover on the dock actually appear before you defeat any scrybes, unless it was changed in an update.
Here's a tip in act 3 once you get to make your own card make a card that doesn't cost a single energy make its attack 0 and health 1 to save sp and give it that sigil where it gives free energy everytime you play it and immortal its op its basically unlimited energy but you have to place it and kill it repeatedly
I made some similar card too and Luke says "That's OP". Not sure what prompts it since he said when I made a mediocre card as well.
I made a card that was supposed to be free (accidentally left it one cost, but later gave it battery) that is immortal and spawns a card. Mr. Screw You is an infinite card generator, but if you spawn too much, it becomes hard to play newer cards.
19:03 . I swear to god that’s my death card right there. Killed the moon with Reginald ❤️
Reginald is one of several basic deathcards, they are same for every player
Man, what hits me hard as a realization is that if you do the Bone Lord stuff, Luke isn't the only one who reacts to what's in the Old Data- P03 does too. *Yet he still tries to spread it*. It makes me wonder what the Scrybes would've been like if they'd attained sapience without the corruptive affects- after all, it's pretty much stated the reason they're enemies is BECAUSE of the Old Data. Were they originally meant to be friends and allies?
if you present 2 pelts to the shroom in act 1, you can trade a special pelt to the hunter
51:40 Ahaha, that's the funniest joke in this game, lol. That's even better then if he actually deleted it
one of the hidden achievements is unlocked when you delete the file you chose after it dies. P03 has some unique dialogue after the fight if you do. The actual death of the card just creates a text file that says something like “have some integrity, delete the file”
hi sifd!! ive long since stopped watching your videos but i just want to thank you for all the inscryption content you made, both modded and vanilla
its been such a blast to watch them over a meal or two everyday when i couldnt find what to watch
and much love for where your channel has gotten to now! keep it up :D
There is a Tarot card below the table were the carved wood characters are
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but if you drag on the game for too long, the opposing character (Leshy or Po3) will play a Starvation card. 1/1 stats, and it is unattackable, meaning you will continously take damage
Yeah, that's when you're out of card
59:24 The c is silent and the o is the stressed syllable (ai · *saa* · suh · leez). And it means two sides are equal length. As a non-native English speaker I was also unfamiliar with the word, but I suspect most English speakers will know it, since it's from basic geometry.
@Frugal Finch I didn't know the isosceles term in English, but I do know calculus in my native language. "Isosceles" is a word with Greek origin, which I don't understand, so it didn't intuitively mean anything to me.
I encountered the player “Luke” or “TheLuckyCarder” speaking voice lines the run after you beat the cabin but don’t have the film, I would count this as an Easter egg. He says stuff like “This boss again” etc.
Hi, I’ve been curious about 2 things that might be secrets. First, can you beat act 1 without killing the moon? Like dagger and pliers? The second is, can you get a true draw. By that I mean, killing the moon with a mirror tentacles and not having any cards left. So you couldn’t play anything and he can’t starve you? I would love to know if those work
update: if you beet leshy while using the dagger, the character portrait has a missing eye
update 2: drawing the game permanetly soflocks it
You can an with dagger and pliers, and you can even win by cutting the moon with scissors lol. He has special dialogue for that one. And you can also make the moon 0 power with the stinky sigil and he has dialogue for that as well. Idk about the draw
@@aroulos When I tried to use scissors on the moon, he simply said "There are no cards for you to cut" and it doesnt work.
@@aroulos Unfortunately you can't scissor or hook the moon :(
Not sure if you saw one of his recent vids “Zerg mod” - Spoiler* But he was able to attack Leshy directly for the finale. There wasn’t any special dialogue, then again it was a mod that technically allowed it. Not sure if there is a similar work-around in the game.
Also you can’t have an infinite standoff with the moon (cus no starvation shows up)
So the moon will gain 1 damage per turn, if you don’t have any cards to draw
You have organized and edited this so well! Thank you!
that ancient obol secret would be comeing handy since i decided to play act2 with the undead deck :O
also in act 3 are more hidden areas with some powerups, some fights and money to find ^^
One more thing in act 1:
If you visit the old wood carver enough times to fill up your totem parts inventory, you get an amalgam with an added sigil instead of the wood carving, pretty neat!
damn, I kept keeping the knife for the toughest battles and had it not been for this video I would never use it lmao, thanks a lot, now back to the game
Not going to lie, that mushroom doc fight gave me some chills.
For the battle where you choose a file,the Older the STRONGER,mine was old enough to 2 shot alone,still what happens if you try to select an Inscryption file
I picked the bug report executable and he commented something along the lines of "Hey, be careful with that one". But I don't know if it was because it was an Inscryption file or because it was an executable.
You can also use a file to use as a weight for the scale, a big file will just tip it over.
I picked a file from 2007 and it was just a 4/4
@@Sylfa P03 says it because it’s an inscryption file, (because it might make the game not function correctly if it’s deleted) and this impacts lore because he knows he’s in a game.
I wrote a script to make a file appear to the game as if it was made in 1900, I’m going to test hehe
Another secret is if you play a daus, mantis god, rat king, and daus in that order on the board, the letters of each card will change to S T O P
If you look left after submitting all 5 holopelts to the trader you will see the woodcarver who immediately recedes into the floor [discovered this myself and i jumped from it]
I had only given 2 pelts but I saw her too. I think it had more to do with being near the trancedence. I saw her in the machine room aswell
Thanks for this Video. I kinda stuggled in finding out everything by myself. I love this game and instantly replayed it after first play :D
