Map (item)
- This article is about the item. For the actual map of the game, see Map.
The Map is one of the earliest items in Animal Well the player can acquire, allowing them to bring up the map in illuminated areas. While the map is normally unusable in dark areas, it can opened in these areas by equipping and activating the Lantern, or by throwing firecrackers.
Location
The chest containing the map is located in the final room leading to the exit of the starting area, shortly after the first candle, which is not possible to miss unless the player intentionally decides not to open the chest.
Markers
The locations of the four flames are marked on the map from the start of the game. The game automatically marks some discovered tiles and locations and updates the map upon entering illuminated areas. Automatic markers include important mechanisms (locked gates and doors, animal heads), and fruits. The egg room is marked with a big egg icon. In case of the player's death, a blinking red skull mark automatically appears at the location.
Players can acquire the pencil to add hand-written notes to the map, as well as the stamps to add preset icons to note locations of interest.
