Where to Use Eggs in Animal Well
Early on after you start the game, you’ll undoubtedly stumble upon a room with a series of shelves and a large peacock perched atop it. In this room, there are four doors that have an egg symbol on them surrounded by many squares. These squares correspond to the number of eggs you need to collect to unlock the door and pick up the reward hiding behind it. The egg doors will unlock and open automatically once you find the required number of eggs.
Once you’ve collected all eggs and their associated rewards, be sure to use the UV Lantern tool (obtained by lighting all of the candles around the map) in the egg collection room to reveal yet another Animal Well riddle. The well of secrets runs deep.
