Inscryption's first act is similar to a horror escape room. Players are locked in a room with a crazy game master named Leshy, and he forces players to either play his deck-building card game or perish. Hidden in the room are various objects that will allow players to solve the puzzles, gain talking cards, and other additions to their decks. One of these puzzles is the Caged Wolf Statue.
The Caged Wolf Statue in Inscryption
When standing up, players will find the caged wolf statue next to the globe and human skull with the smoke puzzle on the other side. In order to release the wolf from its cage and solve the puzzle, players have to go through several steps first. These steps will most likely have already been completed by the player when they start to worry about the caged wolf; however, the list of these steps are:
- Unlock the safe in Inscryption using the code 273. This code is located on the first page of the instruction book, which is located to the player's left when sitting at the table.
- Take out the Stink Bug talking card and the key from the safe.
- Use the key on the locked wooden drawers to the right of the caged wolf on the same table.
- Solve the sliding puzzles 1 (The Skink card) and 2 (the Ant Queen and Ant Cards), which will unlock sliding puzzles 3 and 4.
- Solve sliding puzzle 3, and inside will be the Caged Wolf Card.
The Caged Wolf Card
In the indie game Inscryption, the Caged Wolf card costs two blood to cast. It has no attack and 6 defense, and it cannot be sacrificed. Place it in a spot on the board where it will take a lot of damage.
When the card finally hits zero life, the room will shake.
A loud noise will rattle everything on the table for a split second, then the Caged Wolf Card will turn into a regular wolf. Leshy will say "What was that?"
Now complete the card battle, then get up from the table once the map is unrolled. The Cage will be gone from the caged wolf statue, and players can pick it up and place it next to the squirrel statue. This will unlock the knife, which players will need to continue to progress the story and solve the clock puzzle in Inscryption.
Inscryption is now available for PC.
