What if I told you that by talking to the Groundhog in Animal Well, you could get a whole load more health potions? Well, guess what, you can.

How to get more health in Animal Well with the Groundhog

You have probably seen this timid little guy poking his head out of his little groundhog hole. If you get too close, he is gonna hide back away. But, like almost everything in this game, the Groundhog is the key to yet another secret in Animal Well. I can guarantee you wouldn’t figure it out alone, either.

Save the date

To interact with the Groundhog in Animal Well, you must change the actual date on your PC or Console. Of course, the date you need to change to is Groundhog Day, which is Feb 2. To change this, you will have to tweak some settings.

• PC – Open up your date and time settings by right-clicking the date on your toolbar. From here you need to uncheck the box that says automatically set date and time. Now, you can change the date to Groundhog Day.
• Switch – In your System Settings, you can access the System menu. From here, navigate to the date and time and change it to Feb 2.
• Playstation – Go into your Settings from the home menu. From here, select the Date and Time settings.

Once you have changed these dates to the correct ones, reenter the room with the Groundhog in Animal Well. You will find him patiently awaiting you with a bottle of health. This will add one golden heart to your blob in Animal Well, giving you permanent health.

You can do this four more times by changing the date and the year. It isn’t necessary to reload the game, either; just leave and reenter the room with a new year selected. This will result in up to five more hearts in Animal Well. You’re gonna need them to beat the bat boss.
