PS5
Animal Well contains more layers of secrets than platinum requires. Separate the four flames, egg collection and smaller actions from the deeper community puzzles. In-world figurines are not PlayStation trophies; chasing every speed challenge can become a separate project. This route keeps exploration purposeful and highlights an early encounter that can require a fresh start.
Base-game roadmap for PS5. Console trophy stacks remain separate; additional groups do not replace platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: No difficulty setting or speedrun is required for platinum.
- Missable trophies: SNEAK may require a fresh start if all available squirrels are scared away.
- Online: The platinum route can be completed offline in single player.
Approach a squirrel before frightening it
Remember SNEAK early: approach a squirrel cautiously instead of rushing or jumping towards it. Opportunities are limited and some animals are awkward to approach from the wrong side. If every opportunity is gone, use another file for this early action without deleting the main collection save.
- Preserve the main save even if you repeat the opening.
Learn alternate tool uses
Disc, bubbles, yo-yo and flute are more than single-purpose keys. Experiment with bounces, platforms and animal reactions, marking rooms where the use remains unclear. Approach the four flames according to your available tools. Revisiting a puzzle with a new capability is often more effective than forcing inaccurate jumps.
- Mark puzzles by required tool as well as location.
Track eggs by room
Use the egg room to inspect your collection and map markers to distinguish confirmed finds from suspicions. The trophy needs all secret eggs, not an intermediate reward threshold. Record concealed entrances and vertical connections; a fully mapped sector does not prove that every niche inside its rooms has been searched.
- Compare missing eggs with rooms already rechecked.
Light candles and find one rabbit
Candles are separate from eggs and require their own usable resources. SECRET RABBIT needs one rabbit, not completion of every late-game community puzzle. Follow one documented discovery and confirm the actual interaction; a rabbit-shaped decoration does not itself satisfy the secret.
- Keep candles, eggs and rabbits separate.
Leave the well and finish remaining actions
The route to the exit continues beyond the flames and first Manticore encounter. Check EXIT alongside advanced collection instead of treating initial credits as automatic platinum completion. Finish disc, bubble and chinchilla actions in suitable rooms. The bubble counter concerns popped bubbles; repeatedly producing unpopped bubbles is not equivalent.
- Check the exit and special actions after the first ending.
Trophies to watch
EGG WELL
Find all secret eggs
Use the egg room to separate partial thresholds from full collection.

The first ending does not necessarily finish the route out of the well.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need every figurine?
No. In-world figurine challenges do not match the PlayStation list.
Is a speedrun required?
Not for this platinum list; exploration and cleanup can be unhurried.
Must I find all rabbits?
The listed trophy needs one secret rabbit, not their entire puzzle network.
