Some Secrets, Easter Eggs, Details, and Achievements you might have missed in Inscryption

Showing off some secrets, easter eggs, details, and achievements that I missed on my first playthrough of Inscryption. Maybe you missed them too, idk. Some parts might be a little sloppy, since I originally recorded these in a longer session. I wasn't planning on editing this down as much, but I ended up doing some extra editing to speed things up a lot and clean up some rough edges here and there. Because of that, I felt like putting it on this channel. It's also on this channel because KZbin really doesn't allow "low view" channels (like my second channel) to use the timestamp/chapter feature. That's really stupid, but I put it here because timestamps tend to work on this channel's videos.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy and learn something new. If there’s something I missed, lemme know since I’ve been really wanting to learn more about Inscryption.
Thank you for watching!

The hammer to destroy cards in Act 2 doesn't autokill creatures. It just inflicts 100 damage. Creatures with more than 100 HP will survive the hammer's first strike.

[@The_Dragon_Tiamat]

I wonder if they intentionally did that as a reference to old games and how they had to save space by using the same code but used differently. Which also makes me wonder if in act 2 if the poison sigil also doesn't auto kill creatures and just deals a big amount of damage.

[@burneraccount7052]

@@The_Dragon_Tiamat then it would do an ass ton of scale damage

[@The_Dragon_Tiamat]

@@burneraccount7052 Not so due to the hammer just doing 100 damage to your cards due to limitations with numbers in the cannon of the game, what they could have done was coded it to where the poison sigil does 100 damage to cards but only 1 to the opponent. It wouldn't be hard to implement and would take less space than coding the card to do as much damage as the cards health. After all the game already needs to know if a card is attacking another card or an empty space so having it check to see if there is a card or empty space and then deal either 1 damage or 100 depending on which it checks would be easy peasy. in the irl game, our version where non of the arg or story of the game is real, I wouldn't be surprised if the poison sigil in act 2 just tells the game to set the cards heath to 0.

[@Real_RUBB3R]

I could have accidentally found that out then, I spent some time buffing my Ouroboros on the training dummy and only got it to 69, in a few runs before starvation appeared and filled the board.

You missed The Trader in Act 3. In P03's area, after entering the building, go left and you'll see a lock. You might need a key, I can't remember. Unlocking the lock opens the door to the left of you. The trader asks for holopelts, there are 5 in total. Give him the pelts, you get lore.

For Pony Island's reference, one of the supporting characters will explain at the end of the game they only helped you, the player, beat the game so that you can erase it from your system, as that is the only way for them to be at peace. As a result, the reference about the poor soul in Inscryption is referring to the fact that you didn't uninstall the game, and have thus kept that character's existence on your system, forcing it to suffer.

There's something you missed about Child 13. If you use one of those places that sacrifice a card to put their sigil on another, sacrifice a wolf cub or something and put their "evolving" sigil on Child 13. Once it evolves it becomes "Child 14".

One thing you missed: While your character is in each of PO3's...caricatures of the other three Scrybes' domains, the ambient light in the factory changes and props will show up. For instance, the "Dank Crypt" will put skulls in some places, and the "Rickety Tower" will have books hovering above the battery charging station. Particularly, in the "Foul Backwater," when you look to the left (south in Act 2) off the Melter's bridge you can see the Woodcarver's holo-mask descending down into the depths.

[@Drecon84]

At least part of the DEEPBENEATH code is about how the OLD_DATA is supposed to be deep beneath the code of the game. That's why the characters that have more information about it are generally the ones that have to do with water or similar stuff. We have the Angler, who's fishing for it, the bot that is dredging for it, the Bone Lord, whose cavern stretches very deep, and we even have the octopus that has apparently been corrupted by it? In any case, there's a thematic connection between OLD_DATA and deep waters.

[@justapersonwithtrauma2947]

There's an exploit with Ouroboros that makes it stupidly easy to get it super powered up. If you buy it from the Trader in Leshy's cabin in act 2 before fighting Grimora then put it down during phase 1 of her fight, her second phase will put a free 0/1 corpse version in your hand, as well as the original version thanks to Unkillable. 0/1, free...and with all the same properties as regular Ouroboros, meaning you can literally play it and hammer it infinitely many times to permanently boost your regular Ouroboros as high as you like.

so funny story about that Devil's Play achievement 😅 I went achievement hunting after beating the game and wasn't thinking about the second act *at all* when I considered how to get that achievement...so I went ahead and put a combination of sigils on the ouroboros card which let me infinitely sacrifice it over and over. And I did that in a fight after basically beating leshy but not doing the final blow... So I sat there for a good long while just racking up damage and heath over and over until it had enough. And then I finally did the killing blow...which then had to go through the process of counting up ALL the excess damage, on gold tooth at a time, until it was all accounted for and i could move on. My computer started to slow down a bit at the end there I think. Good times.

In P03's factory the large glowing box has the sages in it. When goobert comments that 'the master' is near and then before The Great Trancendance, the sages break out and set up the ambush with The Challenger.

[@skit_inventor]

Don't know whether you mean the same box as I do, but the glowing/flickering box actually holds the New Game button inside. P03 locked it away from the player so they wouldn't be able to start a new game, like Leshy did in his chapter when he held the button behind the door. You could see the exact same flickering pattern through the slit, and from the button itself after you defeat Leshy. Now the actual flickering pattern is a Morse code phrase which means a great deal to the ARG as it contains a piece of one of the ciphers to the log.txt file (yes, there are several ciphers for multiple sections of the file, and you have to decode them in a sequence)

[@sanguinepub]

@@skit_inventor On my playthrough of the game, I heard a loud clunk and the box disappeared. I thought maybe the New Game Button was locked in it along with the Sages. Makes me wonder if you can select new game when the box disappears...

The sages take the box and break it open just before you meet them. That's how they had it to try and give it to you just before Grimora starts the delete process

The best way I found to get the devil's play achievement was to do two necromancers, the pharaohs pets, and ouroboros, which then made ouroboros ridiculous for the third act as well

[@davidhigdon794]

My friend did one necromancer, a pharaoh's pets, and used the cloned ouroboros from the necromancer to have two of them on the board at once. He then sacrificed both for the next ouroboros and filled the empty spot by using the pets. We had a good laugh.

[@awesomesauce_3516]

i used the grimora fight to make corpses of the ouroboros which could be played for free and repeatedly hammered it to death

[@jacketofdiamonds]

It also works if you bring it into Grimora's fight and let her kill it during the phase 2 transition. You get a 0/1 free Ouroboros corpse that boosts the exact same way as regular Ouroboros, and also permanently boosts the regular card. It's unbelievably broken. Edit: replies weren't loading so I didn't see that the same thing had already been said whoops

[@HeroValios]

So uh... didn't see anyone mention it/debunk it as I was scrolling through the comments - but isn't the glitched out face at ~30:13 supposed to be Kaycee? She was the one that set lesh up as the hegemony in the first place, yeah? So it makes sense that he'd have a special attachment to her, enough to hide away the memories in a secret room, complete with a single candle lit as an effigy? That is my thought anyway.

Spoilers for the arg and game story below The giant rib cage and coat seen in the bonelord’s pit is actually Hitler’s body if i remember correctly. The cards in the jacket pocket are playing cards from some old game (idk i forgot the name). At the end of the ARG, some russians take the cards out of the jacket after hitler dies and are drinking at a bar and playing with the cards. If you want more clearer information, watch the arg analysis video by the uploader of this video. Also, the static card is a piece of the OLD_DATA and is the reason why leshy is the only one in power (not turned into a card) in the first act. The creator of the floppy disk (kaycee) helped leshy find the fragment of the OLD_DATA before anyone else could, thus puting him in power. Near the end of act 2, the glitched card/thing that the robot plays in a duel is a piece of the OLD_DATA, which then in turn puts the robot in power instead of leshy for act 3. Also, green person at the bridge is from The Hex, also made by mullen and ties in with inscryption. Again, the first OLD_DATA secret zone is probably a picture of Kaycee, idk who the other one is though.

[@dysphoriacc]

25:47 okay so, I might be wrong but judging by the fact that it's a corpse, and there are cards poking out of the chest pocket, I think (from the game theory) that it might be Hitler's corpse, with the cards containing the Karnoffel code, which might too be a reason why the bone lord seems sentient and talks about the old data a ton. The "key" for it is sitting right in front of him.

[@the_fouser]

I've heard theories that the skeleton in act 2 is supposed to actually be Hitler's corpse! In the ARG they go into detail that there was a deck of cards that the nazis retrieved from his pocket after he died.

Kaycee Hobbes, The 3 star bounty hunter you fought is the girl who's mother sold Luke the Inscryption cards. She died from fire related complications after a fire at GameFuna, and that's her deathcard.

Kaycee isn't just a bounty hunter. She pretty much appears in every act of the game. Act 1 as a past challenger, she's one of the shadow people cards. Act 2 as a corpse in Grimora's lair, the one with the ice in their head. Act 3 as a bounty hunter. Act 4 as one of the glitches when the OLD_DATA is released. She was also the one in the shark secret room

i'm guessing that , for act 2, the Rabbit (which you find in the chest on the mage tower 3rd floor), which will be in your list of owned cards (the alter deck menu), but isn't listed in the collection (the book next to the mage tower trader), counts as a card for the purpose of the achievement. As in, the achievement checks if you have 96 card (that's how many are listed in the collection), and if you have 95 of those cards + the rabbit, then you have 96 cards and thus get the achievement.

The easiest way to get the double myco is to use pack rats. Also, in act 2, after beating leshy (might just be beating the angler), you can find the angler by where you get the clover and he’ll find some data chunks if you talk to him. In act 3, when asked to delete a file, you can just move it, the game can only check if the appropriate file is in the original location, not if is deleted. Also, entering a certain time on the clock in act 3, I can’t remember if it was the time from act 1 or if it was stated elsewhere in act 3, either way it will give you ouroubot, which acts like act1’s orouborous. And beating the mycologists in act 3 lets you keep one of the fused cards they made on your side.

[@ellocodiablo]

If you win too quickly, and right after resetting all the save data (I'm not sure if this has an impact or not) it will "glitch out" and the leshy's entire board will fill up with flight defense grizzlies, ensuring a loss. This happened to me twice in the same life (very first life, not sure if that matters either), once during a normal match and once during the angler boss battle.

19:52 all of those images appear in the OLD_DATA secrets rooms. The 91834...png is the exact number as the card that the Mycologists formed at Act 3, which means in Act 2, they already had the ingredients to make (at least a part) of the OLD_DATA. They only had it in a solid state when they fused a bunch of cards to it (the Daus plays a big part in those fusions) PO3 and Leshy has a part of the OLD_DATA but the Mycologists are the only ones who have successfully replicated the OLD_DATA

[@justapersonwithtrauma2947]

Here are the other OLD_DATA stuff found in chapter two: 29:58 kc.png 30:34 barry_wilkinson_id.png karn-daus is just the Daus card, which again plays an important role for the Mycologists 80191...jpg might be another piece of OLD_DATA, the one that PO3, has specifically location.png might pertain to the location of the room of the Bone Lord with H1tler's corpse I don't know what Kaminski's logo is pertaining to but I know he was one of the people in the logs

[@justapersonwithtrauma2947]

Also, interestingly, the Mycologists have a creature card while all of the other cards turn into bot forms in Act 3. The only other possible way of doing this is if you encounter a static card like in Act 1. Even if you play it in Act 3, it will still draw a creature card, since it belonged to Leshy. This is another evidence that the Mycologists already have a piece of OLD_DATA. It may have came from Leshy, maybe they split a piece of it for them to experiment on. Splitting things is kinda their thing, after all
