Mr. Kelley's Neighborhood

### Recurring Characters

Mr. Kelley, FBI Agent, Doug the Dog, Gimme Candy, The Chef, The Mentally Disabled Caterpillar, Pirate Jenkins

### Cast

Xavier Berhow, Bryson Buschmeyer, Chris Cantu, Jack Kelley, Ryan Push, Gabe Read, Jon Wascher

**Mr. Kelley's Neighborhood** is a recurring sketch that has appeared on 10 episodes, the most most of any sketch not including the 5:17 News. This was also the first sketch other than the 5:17 News to appear on the show. The sketch was inspired by the children's show *Mr. Roger's Neighborhood* as well as SNL's *Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood.* The S.1 Ep.7 episode tied with an episode of Alvaro's Cooking Show for sketch of the year in the Season 1 Awards. Mr. Kelley also won the fictional character of the year and Jack Kelley's best fictional character.

## The Sketch

The sketch follows Mr. Kelley, an escaped criminal, as he teaches kids his illegal ways. Most episodes take place in Mr. Kelley's apartment. These sketches start with Mr. Kelley entering the room and giving a brief statement. He then moves on to the word of the day, always horribly misspelled. Every sketch ends with the FBI breaking in to Mr. Kelley's apartment with Mr. Kelley saying "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll see you tomorrow, when..." Other episodes of the show feature Mr. Kelley's Magical Closet That Leads to an Alternate Dimension, or the actual neighborhood. These sketches feature a larger cast of characters and do not feature the FBI.

Captive File

The **Captive File** is a tech-card present in Act III of *Inscryption*, solely available during the fight with The Archivist. Its stats are variable depending on the age of the file used for its creation. While P03 threatens that the death of the Captive File will result in the deletion of the corresponding file, it is important to note that this is untrue, except for Luke Carder's files in the Console Versions of the game.

When the Captive File dies, rather than deleting the file used to create it, a text document is created (called {documentname} DELETED.txt), requesting that the player kindly respect the rules of the game, and delete the file themselves.

The file prompting the player to delete the file reads:
*"At least... I tried to delete it. But it seems my powers of FILE ACCESS do not extend that far.*
Play by the rules you agreed to. Delete it yourself.
Have an ounce of respect for the rules. Come on."

Deleting the file before the end of the fight earns the *Agonizing Remorse* Achievement.

In Console Versions, when the Captive File dies, the file is deleted from *Luke Carder's PC*;

Choosing *System32.dll* will cause the game to crash if the file is killed.

**These will not harm your console.**

## Creation

Upon the beginning of the Archivists second phase, they will prompt the player to select an old file- one that has existed on their system for a long time. The age of this file is used to then calculate the stats of the Captive File, which will also take the name of the selected file once the creation process is complete. The Captive File has the default stats of 1 Power and 1 Health, and gains +1 Power and +1 Health for every 360 days the file has existed, capping at 4/4 (or +3 Power and Health) on a file that is three years or older.

## Strategy

The usefulness of the Captive File depends solely on the file selected to create it. This means that the majority of strategy involved in this card has to do with searching for an appropriate file rather than anything in actual play. The Hostage File Sigil does not affect gameplay, and as such the Captive File has no special behaviours that affect its use, and can be considered a mostly better Automaton.
Fred Hampton

**Fredrick Allen Hampton Sr.** (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist. He came to prominence in Chicago as deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party and chair of the Illinois chapter. As a progressive African American, he founded the antiracist, anticlassist Rainbow Coalition, a prominent multicultural political organization that initially included the Black Panthers, Young Patriots (which organized poor whites), and the Young Lords (which organized Hispanics), and an alliance among major Chicago street gangs to help them end infighting and work for social change. A Marxist–Leninist, Hampton considered fascism the greatest threat, saying, "nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” He has been impersonated by Gabe Read.

Harpie's Birdleg Fan

> To the user: Your creatures will attack as though they have the Airborne sigil this turn.
>
> Rule Book

> A gust from this may lift your creatures into the air... If only for a turn.
>
> Leshy

The **Harpie's Birdleg Fan** is an item in Act I of *Inscryption*. When used, it allows your creatures you have currently on the field to attack the opponent directly, similarly to how cards with the Airborne sigil attack.

## Strategy

This item can be key to winning a battle, allowing all of your creatures to attack your opponent directly. Be wary of the Mighty Leap sigil, however.

## Trivia

* Harpie's Birdleg Fan is likely a reference to Harpie's Feather Duster.

Gem Detonator (sigil)

Gem Detonator, as seen in Act III.

> When Gem Vessels on the owner's side of the board die, they Detonate (the creature opposing them, as well as adjacent friendly creatures, are dealt 10 damage).
>
> Rule Book

*This article is about the sigil. For the creature, see Gem Detonator.*

**Gem Detonator** is a sigil that, as long as a card bearing it is on the field, causes all Gem Vessels on the owner's side of the field to act as if they have the Detonator sigil, causing 10 damage to adjacent and opposite creatures on death.
Mage Knight

The **Mage Knight** is a Magick card in Act II of Inscryption.

## Strategy

Mage Knight has high Health for a Magick card, and unlike Practice Wizard it can still deal damage to your opponent or opposing cards. This allows it to trade fairly well; however, its downside of the Gem Dependant Sigil must be noted, as the player will have to dedicate a space on their board to a Mox card in order to keep it alive.
Genghis Khan

Gabe Read as Genghis Khan

**Genghis Khan** (c. 1158–1162 – August 18, 1227), born **Temüjin**, was the founder and first Great Khan (Emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia, and, after being proclaimed the universal ruler of the Mongols, or *Genghis Khan*, he launched the Mongol invasions, which ultimately conquered much of Eurasia, and witnessed raiding as far west as Legnica in western Poland and as far south as Gaza. His major campaigns include those against the Qara Khitai, Khwarezmia and the Western Xia and Jin dynasties, and his generals conducted further raids into medieval Georgia, the Kievan Rus', and Volga Bulgaria. He has been impersonated by Gabe Read.

Double Strike

> A card bearing this Sigil will strike the opposing space an extra time when attacking.
>
> Rule Book

This is a Sigil from Kaycee's Mod which allows a card with it to attack twice. This effectively gives the card more than 2 times the value, doubling its power and allowing it to attack an opposing card and Leshy. However, Stinky will make the Sigil less effective, and the card can take twice the damage from Sharp Quills.

This Sigil appears naturally on the Dire Wolf and Pelt Lice.

## Notes

* Mechanically, Double Strike adds an additional attack against the opposing space rather than doubling a card's attacks, effectively making a card having both Double Strike and Bifurcated Strike the same as a card having Trifurcated Strike.
	+ Similarly, a card with both Trifurcated Strike and Double Strike will strike the space to the left of the opposing space, the opposing space twice and the space to the right of the opposing space.
* If a creature with double strike attacks The Angler's bait bucket, the second strike will hit the Great White before it has a chance to submerge itself.

Loose Tail

Loose Tail, as seen in Act I.

> When a card bearing this sigil would be struck, a Tail is created in its place and a card bearing this sigil moves to the right.
>
> Rule Book

**Loose Tail** is a sigil which allows a card to evade a direct hit. When a creature bearing **Loose Tail** would be struck, a tail is created in its place and the creature attempts to move to an adjacent space.

## Behaviour

> It's hard to call it cowardly...
>
> Leshy the first time the Sigil activates

### General

When struck, a card bearing this sigil moves to the right. If there is no free space to the right, it will move to the left instead. If neither movement is possible, the tail will not be created and the creature will take the hit directly. This Sigil is only triggered by direct damage, meaning that threats such as Sharp Quills and Steel Trap will always affect the card directly. Each creature can only create one tail, though this will regenerate if the Unkillable Sigil causes the card to return to the player's hand.

## Loose Tail

* Wriggling Tail
* Wriggling Leg
* Tail Feathers
* Furry Tail
* Tail

### Health

2

The tail generated will have 0 Power and 2 Health and can be sacrificed, with any **Power**/**Health** boosts acquired from campfires, Morsel or The Mycologists generally applying to the tail. Tails created will retain the tribe of the original creature while in play (excluding the Amalgam). If the Sigil is naturally found on the card, whether that be via the Skink or a Deathcard, it will inherit any additional Sigils added to the card through either events or the totem.

If **Loose Tail** is added to any type of Deathcard via the sacrificial altar, the resulting Tail will retain the original Deathcard's name and Cost, as well as adding its Power and Health to the tail's default stats. If a Deathcard is created with **Loose Tail** and Fledgling, it will drop a tail named "Greater *[deathcard name]*" if allowed to evolve to its stronger form before creating the tail.

Most tails simply take the name of the original creature with "Tail" appended. However, certain creatures create tails which have different names and illustrations. These variants are purely visual and do not differ in function.

Hydra

* Menu Preview

The Hydra after hatching from the Curious Egg

The **Hydra** is a rare Beast card in Kaycee's Mod of *Inscryption*. It is the hatched form of the **Curious Egg**. It can only be obtained by selecting the Curious Egg starter deck.

## Strategy

Hatching the Curious Egg into the Hydra is incredibly difficult. It requires having cards in your deck with Power ranging from 1 through 5, Health ranging from 1 through 5, and one of each Tribe. Amalgam can be used as a wildcard for tribe representation, but each copy can only cover one tribe at a time. Goobert copies of Amalgam are always tribe wildcards regardless of mistakes. The egg itself counts towards the goal, so if you don't buff it, the 1 health will be covered. Ijiraq contributes its stats (4/1) regardless of what card it is copying.

Anytime the hatching requirements are met at the time it's drawn during a battle, the Curious Egg will transform into a 1/5 Hydra (returning to its Curious Egg form when in your deck between battle). The Hydra is a powerful card that strikes multiple times over thanks to having both the Bifurcated and Trifurcated Strike Sigils: twice to the left, once in the middle, and twice to the right. As of the current version of the game, the Hydra inherits both sigils that were present on the original card and campfire buffs. It is also of every tribe in the game like Amalgam, so it can be buffed by any totem.

The Finical Hatchling sigil works when transferred to another card, unless it is the Ijiraq disguised as the card with the sigil in which case it will not turn into a Hydra, the resulting Hydra is identical to one produced from a Curious Egg. Outside of a battle, creatures with the sigil will return to their usual form.

More strategies found on the Curious Egg starter deck page.

***Good Upgrades***

* Any Sigil that increases Power, such as Fledgling (the Curious Egg becomes an "Extra Curious Egg") or Blood Lust, to boost the card's already high damage output.
* Touch of Death defeats multiple cards at once. This guarantees the Hydra can do at least 2 Damage and kill everything in the three slots in front of it.
* Unkillable returns the card to your hand in its Hydra form when it perishes.
* Airborne allows the card to strike the opponent directly.
* Mighty Leap can block all forms of damage.
* Rabbit Hole (from a Totem): Any card that the Curious Egg is sacrificed onto, once hatched into a Hydra, will produce a Rabbit which also has the Finical Hatchling Sigil, which when played produces another Rabbit with the Finical Hatchling Sigil, and so on. This can theoretically create infinite no-cost Hydras.

***Bad Upgrades***

* Corpse Eater is not recommended given the card's low cost.
* Waterborne negates the high Health of this card and is not recommended.
* Worthy Sacrifice is sacrifice dependent and not recommended on this powerful card.
* Moving Sigils such as Sprinter, Hefty, and Rampager are less desirable as they can reduce the card's damage output.
Bellist

Bellist, as seen in Act I.

> When a card bearing this sigil is played, a Chime is created on each empty adjacent space. Chimes have 0 Power and 1 Health.
>
> Rule Book

**Bellist** is a sigil which causes a card to create chimes on each empty adjacent space when it is played. If an adjacent space is occupied, then a chime is not created there.

If a chime created by The Daus is defeated by a direct hit, its attacker is immediately struck by **The Daus**. This trait is not retained if this sigil is transferred to another card.

## Strategy

It is wise to keep this sigil on The Daus, because on other cards, it is essentially a worse version of Dam Builder. Place The Daus in a place where its chimes will get attacked.
Dan Quayle

**James Danforth Quayle** (born February 4, 1947) is an American politician who served as the 44th vice president of the United States from 1989 to 1993 under President George H. W. Bush.

Aquasquirrel

The Aquasquirrel as it appears in Kaycee's Mod

The **Aquasquirrel** is one of the cards from Kaycee's Mod. It is identical to a Squirrel with the exception of having the Waterborne Sigil. It is only found by enabling the Aquasquirrel Challenge in Kaycee's Mod.

## Strategy

By and large, the Aquasquirrel is a downgrade to the Squirrel despite having an additional Sigil and still being a free sacrifice. The Waterborne Sigil allows opposing cards to attack directly; in other words, an Aquasquirrel is unable to block an attack. (This does not apply to a normal Squirrel from a Squirrel in a Bottle, as Squirrels cannot receive Waterborne Sigils in Kaycee's Mod.)

The benefits that can be gained from playing an Aquasquirrel are either to act as a blockade for cards bearing the Sprinter Sigil on your own side (which a normal Squirrel can also do) or to benefit from the Leader Sigil without risk of being removed by the opponent (whereas a normal Squirrel is vulnerable).

Aquasquirrels are also advantageous to the player if moved to the other side of the board, such as during the Angler's boss fight or by using the Wiseclock. This is because the opponent cannot block damage using Aquasquirrels, either, but also cannot sacrifice them like the player can; additionally, new enemy creatures are prevented from coming onto the board if the spaces they are trying to enter are occupied by Aquasquirrels (even if they are submerged).
Hostage File

Hostage File, as seen in Act III.

> When a card bearing this sigil perishes the file used to create it is really deleted from your Hard Drive.
>
> Rule Book

*For more info on how file selection operates, as well as strategies involving this sigil, see Captive File.*

**Hostage File** is a sigil that, when a card bearing it dies, causes the file linked to that card to be "permanently deleted" from the player's computer. In actuality, this is simply a bluff: the file is not actually deleted, but a different, special file is created within the selected file's directory. This sigil is exclusive to The Archivist boss fight and the Captive File card.

## Behaviour

### File Selection

When the second phase of **The Archivist** fight begins, the player is asked to select a file (one that "shows age" and is "dear" to them) to link to this sigil, without being informed of its potential deletion. The older the file, the better the Power and Health of the Captive File are.

### Death

When a card bearing this sigil dies, instead of deleting the file (as P03 claims), a text file is created inside the folder of the file in question named "*[filename]* DELETED.txt". The file, a message from P03, explains that it doesn't have the ability to delete files, but asks the player to delete the file themselves. If the file is moved out of its current directory (because it was deleted or otherwise), P03 will mock the player for expecting a "reward", and they will earn the **Agonizing Remorse** achievement.

#### DELETED.txt

At least... I tried to delete it. But it seems my powers of FILE ACCESS do not extend that far.

Play by the rules you agreed to. Delete it yourself.

Have an ounce of respect for the rules. Come on.

## Trivia

* Originally, this sigil *did* actually attempt to delete the selected file from the player's computer (though for much of the beta, failed to do so for technical reasons). However, after "horrified reactions" from beta testers and intervention from Devolver Digital (*Inscryption*'s publisher), Daniel Mullins ended up removing this aspect.

Boulder

Boulder

A **Boulder** is a terrain card that appears in Act I of *Inscryption*. This card spawns naturally, and is primarily used for blocking incoming attacks. Another way to obtain this card is from the Boulder in a Jar.

In Kaycee's Mod, Boulders also gain the Made of Stone sigil, rendering them immune to the effects of the Touch of Death and Stinky sigils.
GreenGems

As seen in Act II

*This article is about the special behaviour. For the currency needed to play cards, see Mox. For the sigil, see Green Mox.*

**GreenGems** is a Special Behaviour, representing the Power of the Green Mage card. It takes the value of the number of cards giving a Green Mox currently alive on the owner's side of the board. This special behavior is only found in Act II, as the Green Mage can only be found during this act.

Goranj’s Vessel

*This page refers to the Vessel card from Act III. For the Mox Card from Act II, see; Goranj's Mox*

**Goranj's Vessel** is a Technology card that appears in Act III of *Inscryption*. Despite sharing a naming scheme with the Empty Vessels, Goranj's Vessel does not benefit from upgrades to the Empty Vessels.

## Strategy

As with both Bleene's and Orlu's Vessels, Goranj's Vessel is highly useful thanks to its ability to buff multiple aspects of other Gemmed Cards on the board at the same time. The Mox provided by Goranj's Vessel buffs the **Power** and **Health** of all gemified cards, including *itself*, thus giving itself 1 **Power** and 3 **Health**. This in turn means that it is effectively a cheaper and more powerful Automaton, so it can be considered as a viable standalone unit to your deck.

The buffs provided by Goranj's Vessel can be compared to those granted by the Fledgling Sigil in Act I. However, these changes only stay in effect as long as Goranj's Vessel is active. Consider combining these buffs with low-cost cards that benefit the most from them, such as L33pbot and Lonely Wizbot.

If using Goranj's Vessel by itself, be sure to consider which Sigils would work well and do not compromise the given buffs. Most upgrades work well, but here are some to watch out for:

***Good Upgrades***

* Beast Forms are power additions that benefit from the built-in **Power** buff.
* Unkillable returns the card whenever it is defeated.
* Battery Bearer grants back an Energy spent; this is particularly effective if combined with Sapphire Vessels.

***Bad Upgrades***

* Though tempting, Overclocking runs the risk of losing the card when it is defeated.

## Trivia

* Goranj is a portmanteau of the words Green and Orange, in reference to the types of Mox this card provides.
Brittle

Brittle, as seen in Act III.

### Found on

Skeleton, Skelemagus, Revenant, Exeskeleton, Bad Fish, Skeleton Crew, Zombie Parrot

> After attacking, a card bearing this sigil perishes.
>
> Rule Book

**Brittle** is a Sigil that causes a card to instantly perish at the end of the owner's turn, after it deals damage.

## Strategy

### Act II

Cards bearing this Sigil are primarily used to help generate and reimburse Bones. If you are building a Bone deck, have as many cards bearing this as possible to generate Bones effortlessly. Combine these with a Necromancer to boost their effect.

### Act III

Ideally, Brittle is a Sigil you want to avoid having on your cards if possible. Fortunately, only Exeskeleton has the Sigil naturally and it can also be added to player-made cards through an event. The only way to grant cards the Sigil is through the Brittle Latch Sigil, which should then be used to give Brittle to an opponent card.

## Trivia

* If a bearing Brittle is opposite a card with Repulsive, it will still perish even though it didn't attack.

Emerald Mox

* Act II
* Finale II

Emerald Mox (Act II)

Emerald Mox (Finale II)

**Emerald Mox** is a Magick card in Act II and Finale of *Inscryption*. It can be bought to The Trader in Mag. As a **Mox Card**, it cannot be sacrificed while on the board.

Although not directly, this card also appears in Act III as the Emerald Vessel, where the Green Gem it activates is used to boost the health of your cards.

### Finale (Magnificus)

**Emerald**, **Ruby** and **Sapphire Mox** are used as a Side Deck in Finale II. It also is the only side deck that contains 3 different variants, that you randomly get every time you draw a card.

## Strategy

### Act II

**Emerald Mox**, along with other **Mox Cards**, are the only way to play any card that requires Mox, which means that they are crucial to play almost any card of the Magick deck. However, they are completely useless in Beast decks because they can't be sacrificed. They serve some use in Undead decks since they can defeated for Bones.

Just like the Squirrel and L33pB0t cards, it can be combined with Attack Conduit to also deal damage, potentially even having 2 Power. This would make them more useful, and maybe even a good damage card because they can immediately be played. For Mox cards specifically, this can also be achieved through the use of Orange Mage.

### Finale II

There is only 1 card that needs the **Emerald Mox** in the second part of the Finale, and that is Junior Sage. Compared to the **Ruby** and **Sapphire Mox**, that have 3 and 2 cards depending on them respectively, this makes the Emerald Mox less desirable to draw.

## Trivia

* **Mox Cards** are the only playable Terrain cards in Act II.

Luke Carder

Luke Carder’s channel profile picture.

**Luke Carder** is the protagonist/player character of the game.

## About

Luke Carder was an online streamer who posted videos opening collectible card booster packs, including Catch Monsters and Secrets of Legendaria. After purchasing Inscryption cards at a garage sale, Carder found one of the cards had a set of coordinates on them. Travelling to the coordinates, he unearthed a buried box containing the Inscryption game on a floppy disk.

Carder subsequently begins investigating the game, the creators, GameFuna, and related topics. After sending several inquires to the company and the card opening community at large, he receives an email from GameFuna warning him to give them the game or else. Suspicious and confused, Carder begins an investigation into the game and the cards he received. He learns about the mysterious death of Kaycee Hobbes, and is visited by an employee of GameFuna who insists that he let them know about about the game. One video shows him late at night, where he mentions that he thinks he hears someone creeping around outside.

The player in Inscryption is playing as Luke Carder from his recorded experience. In some battles and events, Carder will shout or exclaim when positive, negative or confusing events occur. Part way through the game, the player will be given the opportunity to watch a series of videos that were recorded by Carder. Some of these are corrupted, and contain bright, flashing static.

When the player finishes the game, Carder is seen hitting the floppy disk with a hammer. It cuts to Carder on the phone with a reporter, attempting to tell the reporter his findings. Carder is interrupted by knocking at his door. When he opens the door, he is shot by the woman who approached him in a previous video. The video ends with his blood pooling on the floor as she enters the house and (presumably) retrieves the disk.

## Trivia

* The Lucky Carder YouTube channel actually exists.
	+ The ARG Google Doc says that this is fan run, not canon, and unrelated to the ARG.
* Notably, the Secrets of Legendaria franchise first appeared in *The Hex*, another game by Daniel Mullins.
	+ The person who shot Carder is named Amanda, and for a single frame her face is obscured by Sado, who also originates from The Hex.
* Several easter eggs can be found on the Inscryption website, including Carder's emails with GameFuna.
	+ You can even send an email from Luke Carder's email to your own, and vice versa. Sending an email does nothing.
* Luke Carder is portrayed by Kevin Saxby.
* The font which is used to represent the date of recordings in the video exposition sections uses a font from Minecraft.
Act II

> With the cards created, The Scrybes had solidified their power. Until, one day, a challenger arrived to replace one of the Scrybes!
>
> Act II Intro

**Act II** is an 8-bit, open-ended version of Act I, where your goal is to defeat the four Scrybes.

## Unlocking Act II

These are the requirements to unlock Act II:

Obtain the Stunted Wolf Card and the Camera Film.

* To do this, you will need to unlock the Special Dagger (see page for more details).
* Use the dagger during a fight. When choosing a replacement eye, choose the bright blue one with symbols all over it. Your vision on the right side should now have a magic circle overlay (note, in order for the eye to appear you must have lost the game at least once).
* Hidden messages and marks are now revealed. Go to the clock and input the correct time.
* The secret compartment contains both the Stunted Wolf and the Camera Film. Grab both before you return to the table.

Defeat the Mysterious Figure.

* After defeating him, you will be brought to the cabin. However, you now have both the camera and the film.
* Quickly grab the camera, insert the film, and take his photo.
* You will now be free to move about the cabin.

In the cabin is the New Game option. Grab it and return to the menu. Act II begins when you begin a new game!

## Gameplay

Act II introduces two new mechanics - Mox and Energy - and many new cards.

Act II uses Foils as its primary currency and can be exchanged with The Trader who appears in each area with the Scrybes.

Act II also reveals that the Stoat was P03, the Stinkbug was Grimora, and the Stunted Wolf was Magnificus. The Mysterious Figure is named Leshy. These four are the Scrybes of Inscryption, and you, as the Challenger, are here to defeat them and take one's place.

This Act ends with PO3 hijacking the game and taking control.
Fish

* Good Fish
* Bad Fish
* More Fish

**Fish** are Technology cards from Act III of *Inscryption*. They can only be temporarily obtained during a battle when Fishbot or More Fish is destroyed, and cannot become a permanent part of your deck.

Instead of giving you a random card, More Fish gives another fish, including itself.

## Strategy

### Good Fish

Good Fish is a very strong and versatile card, being able to be used as a normal attacker, to block any opposing card, or to pick off key opponents. Unfortunately, it is very unreliable to obtain, being a rare reward from Fishbot or More Fish. Don't count on having this card too much, but make as much use of it as you can.

### Bad Fish

Bad Fish is a weak card with bad stats for its cost and bad Sigils. It should only be used to block incoming damage in emergencies, as any card will destroy it. Avoid placing Bad Fish in front of Airborne cards, as they will deal additional direct damage due to its Annoying Sigil.

### More Fish

More Fish is best used as a blocker. While it can be destroyed in hopes of getting Good Fish, this specifically is unreliable as you will more than likely end up with Bad Fish or another copy of More Fish. If used as a blocker, it can possibly give a new copy of itself on death. While again unreliable, this can allow it to block the same card multiple times. Its appearance is similar to the Everpregnant Guppy and its golden form in Daniel Mullins's other game, Beneath The Surface. In that game, those guppies create fish as well.

## Trivia

* More Fish is a reference to Beneath the surface another game by Daniel Mullins.
	+ But it is named Everpregnant Guppy or Golden Guppy.
Energy Conduit

Energy Conduit (Act II)

The **Energy Conduit** is one of the Technology cards that appears in Act II of *Inscryption*.

## Strategy

The Energy Conduit is a powerful card to have in Energy Decks. If used to complete a circuit, any and all Energy spent will not deplete as long as the circuit is active. This can be used in combination with many cards and Activated Sigils to powerful effect, allowing for quick and easy wins if done correctly. Effective strategies include:

* Bone Lord's Horn can be used to generate infinite Bones which can power-up Bone Heap and Gourmage infinitely.
* Gamblobot can be infinitely cycled until it has the desired amount of Power.
* Stim Mage can be infinitely powered up.
* Steel Mice can be played and sacrificed to power-up the Ouroboros infinitely.
* Plasma Jimmy can take as many shots as the player desires in order to kill tough cards such as Grizzlies in Leshy's boss fight.
Bone Digger

As seen in Kaycee's Mod

> At the end of the owner's turn, a card bearing this sigil will generate 1 bone.
>
> Rule Book

**Bone Digger** is a Sigil which gives the player one Bone at the end of their turn.

## Strategy

Bone Digger is an important part of Bone Decks, as it allows for quick production of Bones as the game goes on. Most of the time, it is only found on a Gravedigger in Act II and in the Finale I of the game. In Kaycee's Mod, it is also found naturally on the Dire Wolf Pup, as a reward for passing the Deck Trial event or providing The Trader with a Wolf Pelt, or given to a card through either a totem or by sacrificing the Dire Wolf Pup.

Bone Digger works best on cards that have Health and a low cost that it can easily offset. It may also be helpful to couple it with a secondary Sigil that protects it, such as Stinky or Waterborne. As it naturally appears on the Dire Wolf Pup, this means that any card it is sacrificed on will also inherit the Fledgling Sigil. This combination of Sigils is also particularly effective as a unique interaction between them means that after the card evolves, Bone Digger will generate 2 Bones instead of one at the end of turns. However if the card also has the Unkillable sigil then new copies of the card will only generate 1 bone per turn.
Amorphous

Amorphous, as seen in Act I.

> When a card bearing this sigil is drawn, this sigil is replaced with another sigil at random.
>
> Rule Book

**Amorphous** is a sigil which becomes another sigil at random when the card bearing it is drawn.

## Strategy

Though this sigil's unpredictability can make cards bearing it difficult to play, it benefits from being able to transform into sigils that are otherwise very rare, such as Trifurcated Strike. However, it can also transform into sigils such as Burrower, Guardian or Sprinter that can get the card bearing them killed. As such, it's often valuable to increase the Health of these cards to accommodate for these scenarios.

If Amorphous is on a card or transforms into a Sigil that can spawn other cards, then the card generated will have Amorphous and therefore change into a random Sigil. For example, a Beehive with Amorphous will spawn Bees that have random Sigils each.

## Notes

* Amorphous will only transform into sigils with the internal tag *Part1Modular* in Act I and *Part3Modular* when in Act III. Additionally, it will only transform into sigils that have a Sigil Power of 0-5, meaning that Sigils with negative power such as Annoying or Brittle are excluded.
* In Act I, Amorphous can sometimes turn into Sigils only present in Kaycee's Mod. This is likely because the Sigils are present in the rulebook for Act I, but otherwise do not appear naturally.
Cat

* Normal
* Undead

* Act I
* Act II

* Act I
* Act II

> The undying Cat. Sacrificing the poor beast does not kill it.
>
> Leshy

The **Cat** is a Beast card that appears in Act I and Act II of *Inscryption*.

## Variants

If sacrificed nine times it becomes an **Undead Cat**. This is a reference to the myth that cats have nine lives. It loses the Many Lives sigil when it transforms.

## Strategy

The Cat is a weak support card. Its only purpose is to be sacrificed repeatedly to play other cards. This can be used effectively to play many cards quickly and easily, albeit without generating Bones in the process. If you are using a sacrifice heavy deck or the Red Hart, the Cat is a valuable card to have.

### Act I

***Good Upgrades***

* Health from the Campfire allows it to survive better.
* Unkillable returns the card to your hand after it perishes.
* Worthy Sacrifice allows for a high-cost deck to be viable.
* Waterborne prevents it from perishing.
* If you so desire, sacrifice it onto an equally cheap but stronger card unit such as the Wolf Pup.

***Bad Upgrades***

* Avoid Sigils that move the card into danger, such as Sprinter or Guardian.

#### Undead Cat

The Undead Cat is difficult to use and can be seen as more of an Easter Egg rather than an effective card. However, there are ways to summon it so that it can be used. If paired with Field Mice, you can start an endless sacrifice loop and that always results in the same card being played over and over, and eventually transforming the Cat into the Undead Cat. In this state, it is a powerful all purpose card - effectively a budget Grizzly. However, this strategy should not be relied upon as a consistent method.

### Act II

Unlike the previous act, the Cat can no longer obtain stat buffs or sigils, limiting its use. In addition, the existence of Pharaoh's Pets makes it a sub-optimal card comparatively. However, as there is no longer a side deck of Squirrels in Act II, this can be helpful in the early part of the Act until better cards can be obtained. It is also easier to unlock the Undead Cat since you can custom build a deck around using the Cat's ability to sacrifice continually.

## Notes

* The Cat also appears in *Sacrifices Must Be Made*, the game-jam precursor to *Inscryption*. Here it bears its signature Many Lives Sigil, but has 3 Health instead of 1.
