Matches and Candles in Animal Well are collectibles that you can gather to unlock rewards. Similar to Eggs, Matches and Candles can be found across the map. They are relatively easier to locate because the Candles are mostly placed in easy-to-reach parts of a room and matchboxes are hard to miss.

There are nine matches and nine Candles in Animal Well. Collecting them is necessary for unlocking the true ending and is a very handy tool that can help you locate all the hidden Eggs. In this article, we have shared all the locations of the Candles and Matches in Animal Well to help you collect them all.
