How to Get Jitterbug in Steal An Egg

The Jitterbug is Update 7's secret pet. You can't steal or hatch it from normal eggs — it only comes from the hidden room behind the Enchanted Tree, and the Mushroom Puzzle is the only door.

Requirements Before You Can Get Jitterbug

  1. Enchanted Forest access — the biome's reported Speed gate is ~50B.
  2. Finished Wisp questline — three quests plus returning the Wisp; this is what unseals the Enchanted Tree.
  3. The secret room portal — once the tree is open, look for the hidden entrance/portal around it leading to the puzzle room.

Player reports vary on exactly where the portal sits relative to the tree — sweep the area behind and around it once you're inside.

The Jitterbug Egg

The room's reward is a Secret Egg that hatches into the Jitterbug — a secret-rarity pet that sits outside the eight regular Enchanted Forest index slots. Current reports treat the egg as a guaranteed puzzle reward, not a drop chance, but launch-week sources are thin on details; if your egg behaves differently, treat the in-game result as the truth.

Cricket's Banjo

The same puzzle also grants the Cricket's Banjo — an equippable guitar-style weapon themed after the biome's cricket. Per current reports you receive it alongside the egg, so one clean puzzle solve covers both secret rewards in the room.
