The less you know about a game likeAnimal Well, a combat-free Metroidvania tasking fans with solving clever puzzles, the better. That said, there are still some things you’ll need to know about Animal Well, like where to find some of those secret eggs you’ve been noticing around the map.
With several dozen eggs scattered in some pretty well-hidden spots around the entirety of the map, you’ve got your work cut out for you if you want to find all 64 hidden eggs in Animal Well. We’re keeping track of all the secret egg locations we’ve found in Animal Well.
This guide is a work in progress! Animal Well launched with plenty of secrets, and even as we reach the end of the game (and the end of all the game content after it), we’re still on the hunt for some of Animal Well’s eggs. We’ll update our guide to the secret egg locations as we continue to discover more!
Given the nature of finding all the hidden eggs in Animal Well, this guide contains major spoilers for various points of the game, with no holds barred for sake of clarity. Last chance to turn back!
