The yoyo is one of the essential tools in Animal Well that has several uses to its name. It can be used to trigger the switches that aren’t reachable like under the surface or high in the air. Moreover, it can draw the attention of Chinchillas and otters, and break the glass and ice spikes. Several areas in the game will require the use of the Yoyo tool for you to progress ahead and it is advised that players get it as soon as possible.
This guide will walk you through how to get the Yoyo tool in Animal Well.
How to Get the Yoyo Tool in Animal Well
The Yoyo is located in the bottom right quadrant of the map which is an area specified for Ostrich. It is one of the areas that you can access early but getting to the Yoyo will first require you to get the following two tools.
Upon getting these two tools, you will be able to navigate through the Ostrich quadrant and get across the rooms by solving the required puzzles.
Path to the Yoyo Tool in Animal Well
Traverse to the right side of the Animal Hub area and keep on heading right until you get past the Bunny Mural and two mouse statues. Continue ahead on the right to reach a room with Pink and Blue Mice floating around. Here, you need to press the yellow switch located above the room beside the small pink mouse statue.
To do so, make your way up the platforms on the left to jump ahead and reach beneath the button. Now, use the B. Wand to reach the next platform and the platform above it to reach the button area. Press the switch and a door on the bottom left side of the room will open. Drop down and go through the door.
As you go past the door, you will reach a room with disappearing platforms. Before stepping on any platform in the room, count down the time at the platform change. Now, all you have to do is time your jumps on the changing platforms to make your way to the bottom right of the room.
Open the Path Beneath the Ostrich and Mouse Statues
You will drop down to a room with Ostrich and Mouse Statues. Beneath the statues is a ladder going further down but it will be blocked off with stones. Opening the path will require you to complete three separate puzzles located on the right side of the statue room.
Go to the path on the right of the statue room to reach a room with a few transparent platforms. Before you head down the ladder inside the room, light a candle above the ladder to eliminate a ghost inside the room.
Wave of Blue Mice
Upon going down the ladder, you will see a wave of blue mice beneath you and a switch to your left. You need to press the switch to change the transparency of the platforms in the room above. To do so, go to the right side to drop down into the wave portion and time your jumps to reach the center of the portion. Due to the light in the center, the blue mice cannot hit you. Continue ahead on the platforms to reach the switch and then press it. Go up the ladder and make your way to the right side.
Three White Birds
As you enter the room on the right, you will see three white birds and the switch in the top right corner. To reach the switch, you need to get on the birds and the birds will follow your movement. Get on the lowest bird and go to the right side. The bird in the middle will get stuck against the platform allowing you to jump on the platform and then on the second bird.
Move to the left side and as soon as you reach the light’s diameter, jump up and then move to the left to stand on the third bird. The light makes the bird invisible so you have to be quick on the jump and movement.
Now, stand on the top ledge on the left side and then throw the Disc against the wall, and then jump on it to cross the gap ahead. You cannot ride the top bird due to the light so use the disc to cross the gap and then jump on the top platform to press the switch.
Upon pressing the switch, get on the bird or use the disc again to reach the left side. Remember you have to time your jump when you reach the light if you choose to ride the bird.
Spinning Two Columns of Pink Mice
After solving the Three White Birds puzzle, go back to the previous room and the path will take you to the top of the room. Climb the ladder and you will reach a room with two spinning columns of pink mice. The switch you need to press will be on the top right and you need to jump on the platforms to reach the switch.
To reach the switch easily, let the columns of mice go to the right side and make your way to the platform in the middle. As the first column is about to reach you, use the B. Wand and then jump on it to go over the first column. Now, jump back to the platform in the middle and then use the B. Wand again to jump over the second column.
Make your way to the switch to press it and then make your way back to the statue room. The path beneath the statues will now be unlocked. However, before you head down, go to the left side to find a telephone where you can save your progress.
Ghost Mouse Puzzle
Going down the ladder beneath the statues will take you to a bit dark area where you have to press three yellow switches while evading the ghost mouse. The first two switches will be on the top side of the area, one on the left side and the other one on the right side. Do the right one first and then make your way to the left side but be careful of the spikes.
Once you have pressed two switches, make your way to the bottom right side of the area. While you are making your way there, evade the ghost mouse by standing on the steps because it will only appear on the flat surface. If you are on a flat surface, you will have to jump over it but be careful of the spikes above.
After pressing all three switches, the door will open on the left side. Make your way towards the door and head on to the next screen. You will see the squirrel on the left side and before you get to follow it, you will have to open the door ahead. Jump down to a narrow path in the middle to press the switch to open the door.
Get Past the Ostrich
As you continue ahead towards the left side, you will encounter the Ostrich. Here, you need to unlock the door at the left side of the area by pressing four switches. All of the switches will be in the ground. However, you have to be careful of Ostrich’s neck as it can follow you through the narrow path in the ground.
Go into the first, second, and third or fourth path in the ground to press all the switches and then go past the unlocked door.
Get the Yoyo Tool
After getting past the Ostrich, jump down to land safely on the telephone. Save the progress and go to the right side. As you reach the next screen, you will see three yellow switches that you can’t press yet. Continue going to the right side and you will enter a room with a chest in the middle. Open the chest to get the Yoyo tool.
Now, that you have the Yoyo tool, you will be able to press all three yellow switches in the previous screen to continue ahead in your playthrough.
