All Ancient Animon Egg Locations in LumenTale: A Complete Guide

There are exactly 12 Ancient Animon Eggs hidden across the world of Trey, and our guide shows you where to find them all. Finding all Ancient Animon Egg locations is the only way to unlock the game's secret boss, Chronomancer Malakor, and witness the True Chronos ending. This is a massive undertaking, but the reward—the best armor in the game and the true conclusion to Elara's story—is more than worth the effort.

What Are Ancient Animon Eggs and What Do They Unlock?tag

Ancient Animon Eggs are dormant relics of twelve primordial beings that shaped the world. According to the lore shared by Master Kael, these eggs hold the key to stabilizing the flow of time itself. While they are inert individually, collecting all 12 allows you to challenge the entity seeking to unravel reality.

Completing the set grants you four major rewards:

• Secret Boss: A portal opens to the Chronomancer's Clocktower, where you can fight Chronomancer Malakor, a challenging, multi-phase boss not tied to the main story.
• True Ending: Defeating Malakor after the final story boss triggers the "True Chronos" ending cinematic, which provides crucial context for the game's narrative.
• Ultimate Armor: You receive the Animon Progenitor Armor Set. This endgame armor provides a massive boost to Lumen regeneration and has the unique perk "Progenitor's Will," which grants a chance to negate a fatal blow once per combat.
• Achievement / Trophy: Unlocks the "Progenitor's Legacy" achievement.

Essential Tools for the Hunttag

Before you can retrieve every egg, you must have progressed far enough in the main story to acquire several key traversal and interaction abilities. Many eggs are located in late-game areas or are hidden behind puzzles that require this specific gear. Don't attempt to hunt them all down from the start; you'll only be met with dead ends.

You will absolutely need the following five items:

• Lumen Weave: Acquired in the Whispering Glade. Used to grapple to glowing anchor points.
• Echo Shard: Found in the Sunken City of Aethel. Allows you to phase through translucent, shimmering walls.
• Tidal Boots: Also from the Sunken City. Allows you to walk normally on the seafloor without being swept away by currents.
• Ashen Cloak: A reward for defeating the Cinderhusk Forgemaster on Mount Cinderhusk. Grants immunity to extreme heat and allows you to walk on magma.
• Sunstone Key: Assembled from three fragments in the Celestial Archives. Unlocks ornate golden doors.

All 12 Ancient Animon Egg Locations (By Region)tag

The eggs are distributed evenly across the four main regions of Trey. Each region contains three eggs, often escalating in difficulty based on the puzzles and enemies guarding them. We've listed them in the order you'll likely be able to access them.

Whispering Glade (3 Eggs)tag

These are the first eggs you can realistically find and serve as an introduction to the hunt.

1. Sylphwing Egg: Located in the northernmost part of the Glade, in the area called the Elderwood Canopy. You'll need the Lumen Weave. Look for a massive, hollow tree with a grappling point high up on a branch. Grapple up and follow the path inside the tree downwards to a hidden nest.
2. Golemheart Egg: Found in the Forgotten Quarry section. In the center of the quarry is a large, sleeping Stone Golem. Surrounding it are three pressure plates. You need to use your Lumen projectile to activate three crystal switches hidden on the quarry walls in quick succession. This briefly awakens the Golem, which stands up and reveals the egg that was hidden beneath its chest.
3. Grove-Guardian Egg: This egg is your reward for defeating the optional boss, the Verdant Behemoth, in the Dampwood Hollow cave system. The entrance to this cave is hidden behind a waterfall just west of the Glade's main entrance. The Behemoth is weak to fire-based Lumen Arts.

Sunken City of Aethel (3 Eggs)tag

The underwater city's verticality and maze-like structure hide these eggs well. The Tidal Boots and Echo Shard are mandatory.

1. Leviathan's Tear Egg: In the submerged Aethelian Spire, you'll find a large, central chamber with a powerful current you can't cross. Using the Tidal Boots, drop to the seafloor below the main current. There is a hidden path behind some kelp that leads you to a pump room. Activate the console to reverse the current, which then grants you access to a previously unreachable ledge holding the egg.
2. Coral-Sprite Egg: Located in the Tide-Worn Market district. You need to find and activate four glowing coral clusters in the correct order to open a secret passage. A nearby stone tablet shows the sequence, which corresponds to the number of anemones growing next to each coral (2, 4, 1, 3). The passage leads to a small, pristine grotto where the egg sits on a pedestal.
3. Abyss-Watcher Egg: This is one of the trickiest. In the Grand Orrery chamber, you must use the Echo Shard to phase through a wall behind a large, cracked archway. This leads to a maintenance tunnel for the orrery. Navigate the moving platforms and gears to reach a control room at the very top. The egg is resting inside the central planetary model, which opens once you align the model's planets to match the constellation painted on the ceiling.

Mount Cinderhusk (3 Eggs)tag

Extreme heat and treacherous terrain guard the eggs in this volcanic region. The Ashen Cloak is required for two of them.

1. Ignis Fowl Egg: In the Ashfall Caldera, there's a river of lava flowing from the main peak. With the Ashen Cloak equipped, you can walk directly on this lava flow. Follow it upstream into a small cave from which it originates. The egg is on a rock island in the center of a lava pool inside.
2. Magma-Wurm Egg: This egg is held by a petrified Magma-Wurm partway up the Cinderhusk Ascent. To reach it, you need to solve a steam vent puzzle. By rotating a series of valves, you must redirect high-pressure steam to three specific vents to power a mining elevator. The elevator takes you up to a precarious ledge where the fossilized wurm is coiled, with the egg clutched in its stone jaws.
3. Obsidian-Shell Egg: After defeating the main boss of Mount Cinderhusk, return to the Forgemaster's Arena. A new path will have opened behind his throne. This path leads to the Obsidian Vaults, a puzzle room filled with light-beam reflectors. You must direct a beam of focused light through a series of crystals to melt a massive obsidian wall, revealing the egg behind it.

The Celestial Archives (3 Eggs)tag

The final three eggs are hidden within the esoteric and reality-bending library.

1. Star-Chart Egg: In the Chamber of Constellations, you'll find a massive star map on the floor. Several books scattered around the room contain clues about the "three fallen stars." You must find three specific star-shaped floor tiles and stand on them in the correct sequence (the sequence is hinted at by the number of rings around each star in the books). This reveals a hidden staircase leading down to the egg.
2. Null-Void Egg: This requires the Sunstone Key. In the Forbidden Wing, there is a large golden door that can only be opened with this key. Inside is a disorienting chamber where gravity shifts. You must navigate the shifting perspectives by hitting gravity crystals, walking on walls and ceilings to reach a floating island in the center of the void where the egg is suspended.
3. Timeless Drake Egg: The final egg is given to you by The Archivist himself, but only after you've brought him the 11 other eggs. He reveals that the final egg was a test of your resolve and entrusts you with the "key to the beginning and the end." This act of giving is the final piece of the collection.

How to Hatch the Eggs and Face the Final Challengetag

Once you have all 12 eggs, the real endgame begins. You are not just a collector; you are now a guardian tasked with restoring a lost timeline.

1. Return to Trey's Respite: Go to the small, secluded island in the center of the town's lake. This is the Progenitor's Nest.
2. Place the Eggs: Interact with the stone altar. Elara will place all 12 eggs in the indentations.
3. Perform the Lumen Rite: A prompt will appear. Channel your Lumen energy into the altar. This triggers a lengthy cutscene where the eggs resonate and crack open, releasing pure light that tears a hole in reality.
4. Enter the Portal: A shimmering, timeless portal will open. This leads to the Chronomancer's Clocktower, a new and final dungeon. Navigate its challenges to reach the top.

At the apex, you will confront Chronomancer Malakor. This boss has three distinct phases, testing your mastery of every combat and traversal mechanic. His attacks are time-based, slowing you down or rapidly accelerating his own movements. Defeat him to finally secure the future of Trey.

Is the Animon Progenitor armor worth the effort? Absolutely. It is statistically the best armor set in the game, providing superior defense and a powerful buff to your Lumen Arts. The cheat-death perk, "Progenitor's Will," is invaluable for the game's hardest post-game challenges.
