ANIMAL WELL Map Guide: Four Flame Branches, Telephones, Flute and Revisits

The well is one interconnected maze. The four entries below are references to the flames and animals, not four official region names. Do not choose a destination solely from visual labels such as upper, water, underground or mechanical.

After obtaining the map, inspect explored rooms and use the egg-room stamps to record missing interactions. Mark telephones, animal shortcuts and unopened doors separately.

Leave Slink on a switch while taking another platform. Match the Yo-Yo and Animal Flute to your tools and the mechanism.

1. Observe platforms involving porcupines and chinchillas. Recheck the mechanism if a tool knocks an animal off.
2. Bait the chameleon’s aim, retreat at the tongue cue and let it eat a porcupine. Take the flame route opened after it eats them all.

The safe exchange for acquiring the Disc as a tool is separate from the later chase while carrying the M. Disc.

1. Obtain the M. Disc for the safe exchange, then practice passing while dogs follow the Disc.
2. For the flame-related delivery, scout the destination altar and shortcut first, then save at a telephone. Follow that prepared route after removing the M. Disc.

Distinguish Yo-Yo interactions with lower mechanisms from changes to the direction of wheel-running animals.

1. Move through shafts while the ostrich’s head retreats and reach the lower yellow buttons. Firecrackers can make it retreat temporarily when needed.
2. After switching a mechanism, check the platform direction. At the later cage, press the yellow button below it to release the ostrich, run right to lure it onto the floor trap, then take the lower-right route to the G. flame. This is not a damage-dealing Yo-Yo fight.

Distinguish a creature’s bubbles from your B. Wand. You do not need to own the wand before solving its initial acquisition puzzle.

1. Read the water platforms and currents, checking boarding positions and obstacles that pop bubbles. In the water-channel puzzles, turn cranks to angle the ramps and direct water into cups marked I; check neighboring rooms for additional cranks.
2. At the later moving-seahorse puzzle, readjust the ramps as the seahorse moves so its water fills the I-marked cups. Take the B. flame beyond the opened door. This is separate from the initial three-switch B. Wand puzzle.

1. Save at a telephone and check your tools and recent unresolved rooms.
2. Record whether a platform, switch, animal or marking is blocking progress.
3. Explore another branch and return to matching marks after gaining a tool.
4. Test a shortcut safely and record its destination and return route.
5. Update shelf and tool records, keeping the first credits separate from collection goals.
