They’ll also get an item that can help them unlock the game’s true ending, which helps to shed some additional light on the true nature of the titular well. This guide has been updated to include information about the Egg Song and the other rewards that players get for finding all of the eggs in Animal Well.
How to Find Every Secret Egg in Animal Well
Unfortunately,Animal Welldoesn’t provide players with a list of which eggs they have and haven’t found, which can make identifying missing eggs a little tricky. Unless they’re keeping a note of the ones they’ve collected, the only points of reference that players will have are the egg counter on the inventory screen and the display cabinet in the egg room. Thankfully, by comparing their egg cabinet to the one in the image above, players can quickly identify which eggs they’re still to find. After that, it becomes a simple case of hitting control + f and typing in the egg’s coordinates (A7, C4, E13, etc) or scrolling down to the appropriate section of this guide.
There are a handful of areas inAnimal Wellwhere passing through a wall, floor, or ceiling will take players to the opposite side of the map, so players should keep this in mind when hunting for secret eggs.
Every Secret Egg in Row A
A3 - Reference Egg Location
The Reference Egg is in a room with three green buttons and a bunch of fans not far from the dog head warp. To unlock the gate beside the chest, players will need to throw their Disc along the bottom and then use the Slink to push the green buttons. If done correctly, the Disc will be propelled through the left side of the screen and hit the yellow button to unlock the gate.
A4 - Brown Egg Location
The Brown Egg is in a chest in the area directly above the swordfish room. To reach it, players should drop their Slink on the box on the left side of the room and then walk over and push the green button on the right. Doing so will cause the Slink to fall onto the green switch to its right, moving the box that had been blocking the player’s path to the chest.
A5 - Raw Egg Location
To get the Raw Egg, players will need to drop the Slink down the steps and then quickly turn the crank to their right. They’ll then need to follow the path along the bottom as fast as possible, turning the second crank when they reach it. If all goes to plan, they’ll be able to exit the screen via the bottom right-hand corner, which will take them to an area containing the Raw Egg chest.

On the far side of the swordfish room, players will see some steps. Dropping the Slink down them will lift the nearby box, allowing them to pass through to a secret area.
