Summary
Though you’ll eventually need to collect all 65 eggs inAnimal Wellif you hope to see the game’s true ending, not all of the hidden eggs in the game were created equally. Some of them are easy to find, and you likely will the first time you play through the game.
Other hidden eggs, though, will have you tearing out your hair into the final moments of the game. With eggs hidden all around the map in Animal Well, some of them requiring end-game tools to find and reach, here were the eggs that gave us the most trouble.

Tools Required
The B. Wand
Though you’ll be able to see the location of the Mystic Egg fairly early on in Animal Well (depending on when you go into the Seahorse’s biome in the southwest quadrantof the map, that is), you likely won’t be able to actually reach it until a bit into the game.
There is the infinite bubble wand trick, if you don’t have the B. B. Wand upgrade yet.
From the top of the bubble puzzle near the first Seahorse puzzle, you’ll need to craftily make your way to the vines on the left to hit the button to open the door leading to this chest.
The Yoyo
The B. B. Wand
There’s more than enough exploring you’ll need to do in the northeast biome, outlined in green on your map and home to boththe Slinky upgradeand thetricky Red Chameleon puzzle. This hidden egg can be found by accessing it from the right, near a blue fruit for extra hearts.
You may need that boost, too, since you’ll need to find a way across the rows of spikes in this room. Lure the Chinchilla your way, and then while you’re on its head, use the Yoyo to direct it to the left. Use the Bubble Wand (or the B. B. Wand) to cross back to the right and grab the chest with the Universal Basic Egg.
The Disc
The Goodnight Egg isn’t tricky so much as it is that you feel a little silly once you finally find it. After all, you trounce through this area a number of times as you progress through the Seahorse’s biome – it’s where your Penguin friends are sliding on their bellies.
Whether you light the candle nearby is your choice, but you’ll need to break all the spikes on the path below the Penguin and double-check your map for an extremely narrow opening just above said candle. The Goodnight Egg has been hiding in the thicker part of the platform this entire time.
The Wheel
If you’ve gotten a good grasp on how Animal Well wants you to think outside the box, it’s likely you’ll have noticed where you can find the Scarlet Egg hiding on your way to the second Seahorse encounter. After you’ve solved the Whale puzzle, in the chasm you’ll drop through to find the Seahorse again, there’s a gap in the spikes in the left wall.
You’ll probably need the B. B. Wand, unless you’re excellent atthe infinite bubble jumpwith the regular B. Wand, but even inside, you’ll need to have the Wheel tool before you may scoot across the spikes and find the Scarlet Egg.
The Lantern
The Moon Egg issucha tease, isn’t it? As you progress through the earliest parts of the Ostrich’s biome on your way to its first puzzle, you’ll come across a room with two columns of pink mouse heads that bounce left to right, obscuring your path to the switch in the top right corner. However, in the bottom right corner just below it is a hidden path.
Even if you manage to make the super finicky jump up this ledge, there’s pretty much no way you’ll get through the room ahead without first grabbing the Lantern upgrade (and, by that logic, solving the Manticore puzzle and moving into the second layer of the game).
You could maybe try a bunch of Firecrackers, but we’d advise just waiting – there are alotof mice in this room.
Firecrackers
The B. Ball
The Kangaroo probably jumpscared you a time or two before you solved the K. Shard puzzle, didn’t it? No shame – us, too. But once you solve the Kangaroo’s puzzle and obtain the B. Ball upgrade, you may bypass the Moon Egg’s entryway entirely unless you know what you’re looking for.
At the Kangaroo’s neck on the outline of the map of this area, you’ll notice two rectangular bricks. Toss the B. Ball at them and enter the area, then break up all the bricks in here the same way to find the Moon Egg. It’s pretty easy to bypass unless you know where exactly to look, even after getting the B. Ball upgrade!
The Remote
Getting into the area where you collect the Neon Egg in Animal Well requires some layers of knowledge beforehand. You’ll find it on the path to getting the Remote, a tool that feels like it changes the game entirely. Except, if you don’t already have the B. Ball upgrade before you find the Remote, you’ll likely have no clue what to do.
That’s because the Neon Egg lies past a set of bricks that can only be smashed using the B. Ball. Past there, you’ll need to use the Remote to close yourself into a little Space Invaders-like puzzle that sees you carefully navigating your B. Ball to break layers of bricks and cause the chest with the Neon Egg to fall.

Most of them.
We’re willing to bet that the Crystal Egg was one of, if notthelast of the 64 total eggs in Animal Well that you grabbed. It’s not because it’s particularly hard to find if you’reprogressing toward the true ending, but you’ll need quite a few tools before you can hope to access this hidden egg.
Once you know exactly how the map of the well works, finding the location of the Crystal Egg isn’t tough – it’s just below the room where you got the B. B. Wand. To navigate this area and solve the puzzle here, though, you’ll need just about every tool you can get in Animal Well, so we know it’ll be several hours into your playthrough before you get your hands on the Crystal Egg.
