Note spells

From Noita Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The note spells are found in 2 different locations, alongside the Kantele and the Huilu (aka Ocarina).

Notes can be used:

  • as part of an attack spell combination (with modifiers to add damage and lifetime),
  • to perform a Musical Curiosity (see below),
  • to unlock a Crystal Key,
  • or just to add sounds to your casts!

Using Notes as attack spells

Note spells are exceptional damage dealers as they deal damage every frame (1 second = 60 frames) with innate player-safe piercing for low mana cost. Since Notes are very short-lived, the best way to deal damage with them is to increase their lifetime and add damage dealing modifiers. Orbiting Arc, Spiral Arc, Phasing Arc, and Ping-Pong Path are useful for adding lifetime at no/low cost, with the first two also providing a bit of damage. The cast delay from Notes can be reduced by firing them as a payload from a trigger/timer spell or simply pairing them with a Chainsaw.


Notes are in the "Other" class of spells which means they cannot be used as a trigger. They also do not scale with Boomerang Spells or Concentrated Spells perks, however they do gain the damage benefit if paired with normal projectiles.

Musical Curiosity

To activate a Musical Curiosity, a combination of the note spells must be played in a specific order.

It is not required to play the spells with their original instruments; the spells slotted into any wand will work just as well.

Upon completing one of the tunes, you will receive the message:

The world around you changes!

3 musical spells are known to exist, and each of them can be used once per world (but will reset in each NG+). Attempting to activate them again will show the message:

Seems like the musical energy is gone...

Secrets

In addition to the three musical spells, there is a fourth musical curiosity that involves a combination of Kantele and Huilu songs to be used. See the Crystal Key page for details.

Hints

Hints toward these melodies can be found in the world:

  • In the horizontal portion of the tunnel that connect the Snowy Depths to the Lava Lake, there is a mural for one of the melodies:
