The Yo-Yo is a Tool in Animal Well that players will loot from a chest near the bottom-right corner of the map, and it makes it possible to solve new puzzles and access new areas. That said, fans may be confused about which puzzles and areas they should be targeting once they have obtained the Tool. This guide is here to alleviate that confusion, and it explains exactly what players should do after getting the Yo-Yo in Animal Well.

This walkthrough's primary interest is detailing the steps that will lead players from the Yo-Yo towards Animal Well 's end credits , and it does not point out all the optional collectibles that can be found along the path.

How to Solve the Bunny Mural in Animal Well

Solving Animal Well's bunny mural puzzle required a team of more than fifty players to come together and share their findings. Here's the solution.

Animal Well: After Yo-Yo Walkthrough

Get G. Flame

After collecting the Yo-Yo, players should set their sights on beating the Ostrich boss and obtaining the G. Flame. This guide to getting the G. Flame in Animal Well will lead fans from the Yo-Yo room to the flame, and they should return to this walkthrough when they have the item in hand.

Players who have gotten very lost, and are struggling to return to the Yo-Yo room, are advised to get back on track by using this guide to getting the Yo-Yo in Animal Well .

Go to Statue Room

The room with the G. Flame is home to a fish that extends from a pipe along the right wall, and players should use the Bubble Wand to send a bubble into its mouth. Fans should then jump into the bubble, allow the fish to swallow them, and enjoy a lengthy ride through the pipe.

Players will find themselves in a small room at the end of that ride, and they should jump on the red plunger that they encounter to open a path to the left. Fans of puzzle games should then use the Yo-Yo to break the spikes on the left side of that path, and then jump on a second red plunger. That action will reveal an elevated path, which players can access with the help of the Bubble Wand.

A room with a spike-covered floor is at the end of the elevated path, and players should extend the Yo-Yo downward and jump to clear a spot for a safe landing. From that safe position, fans should use the Yo-Yo to clear the spikes that lead to the right wall and jump on the red plunger that is revealed. That action will open the left wall, and players should exit the room on the left.

Fans of indie video games are now on a path that leads directly to the four boss statues. Indeed, the statue room is just four screens to the left, and players should insert the G. Flame into the Ostrich statue upon arrival.

Collect Remaining Tools

At this point, players should focus on collecting any Tools that they have yet to find, and the following guides will assist with that endeavor:

Collect Remaining Flames

Once players have the Firecrackers, Bubble Wand, Disc, Slink, and Yo-Yo, they must put their efforts toward collecting any remaining Flames and inserting them into their respective statues. The following guides will assist with that endeavor, and the floor in the statue room will open when the final Flame is inserted:

Statue Room to Lantern

With all the Flames inserted, players should descend into the opening that has appeared in the statue room, continue to the right, and climb down the ladder. Fans should then use the crank at the bottom of the ladder to cause a platform to rise from the water on the right. There is another crank on top of that platform, which raises the block on the left side of the room, and players should take it to the block to its maximum height and quickly exit the room on the left.

Players are now in a very dark room, and they should work to navigate to the top-left corner. Fans of Metroidvanias should then drop, make their way to the bottom-right corner, and descend the ladder that is to the left.

At the bottom of the ladder, players should go to the left and descend to enter a room filled with hostile creatures, which can be scared temporarily by deploying Firecrackers. The goal in this room is to access and press its three yellow buttons, causing the barrier in the top-right corner to be removed, and here are details on how that is done:

Before players spend time activating the buttons, they may want to gain access to the telephone that is above the three-button room. To reach that save point, fans should exit the three-button room through its bottom-right corner, exit the next room on the right, and go up.

Bottom-Right Button

Exit the three-button room through the bottom-right corner.
Exit the next room on the right.
Go down and to the left to reach a room with a hippo's head.
Use the small platform in the room to access a secret path.
Go to the green button and stand on it for several seconds.
Go to the square block on the left, and wait for the creature to take its place on the green button.
Pass under the block, climb upward, and go left to reach the bottom-right button.

Bottom-Left Button

Exit the three-button room through the bottom-right corner.
Exit the next room on the right.
Go down and to the left to reach a room with a hippo's head.
Exit the room through the top-left corner.
Drop a Slink on the horizontal line button.
Run under the horizontal line block, immediately fall to the ground, and prepare to throw a Disc under the vertical line block as soon as it rises.
As soon as the Disc is deployed, use bubbles to reach the retractable platform at the top-left.
Use the Yo-Yo to hit the horizontal line button, sending the Slink into the button in the bottom-right corner.
Use a bubble to reach the ladder in the top-left corner, and climb to the bottom-left button.

Top Button

Exit the three-button room through the top-left corner.
Climb to reach a room with three purple buttons.
Go to the middle button, place a Slink on it, and stay still for several seconds.
Go to the right button, and stand on it for several seconds.
Go to the left button, and stand on it until the creature takes its position on the right button, causing the room's barrier to open.
Go through the opening and hit the button on the ceiling to fall to the top button.

Once all three buttons have been pressed, players should use a bubble to reach the ladder in the top-right corner. Fans of exploration-focused video games should then follow the path until they reach a chest that holds the Lantern.
