- Abyssal Reaper (15%) is the strongest pet in the game: x5 Coins, x4 Dig Speed, x3 Luck.
- Stack luck boosts (Royal Phoenix + Luck codes) before any Void Egg hatching session.
- Farm Golden Eggs first — Royal Phoenix is the key luck pet for secret hunting.
- Void Eggs have a 30-minute hatch timer, so keep the hatchery running at all times.
What Are Dig For Eggs Secret Pets?
Secret pets sit at the very top of the Dig For Eggs rarity ladder, above Legendary. They are not sold in the egg shop — they only come from the rarest egg pools in the deepest dig layers and limited events. The headline source is the Void Egg, which produces exactly two pets: Void Whale and Abyssal Reaper.
Every Void Egg hatch is either a Void Whale (85%) or an Abyssal Reaper (15%). There is no "junk" result — even unlucky hatches are worth keeping or trading.
Here is how the top of the rarity ladder compares:
| Pet | Source Egg | Hatch Odds | Boosts | Value Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abyssal Reaper | Void Egg | 15% | x5 Coins, x4 Dig Speed, x3 Luck | 2,000+ gems |
| Void Whale | Void Egg | 85% | x4 Coins, x2.5 Dig Speed | 2,000+ gems |
| Golden Griffin | Golden Egg | 50% | High coin multiplier | 500-1,500 gems |
| Royal Phoenix | Golden Egg | 35% | x3 Coins, x3 Luck | 500-1,500 gems |
| Sun Serpent | Golden Egg | 15% | x2.5 Coins, x2 Luck | 500-1,500 gems |
Step-by-Step Route to Your First Secret Pet
The fastest route to a secret pet runs through the Golden Egg tier. You need a strong luck pet and a maxed shovel before Void Eggs realistically start appearing.
Build your economy first
Upgrade your shovel to level 3+ and dig in the mid-depth layer. Spend early Coins on shovel and backpack upgrades before anything cosmetic — these pay for themselves through faster digs and more egg capacity.
Hatch toward Royal Phoenix
Farm Golden Eggs (rare dig finds, event rewards, or 100 Gems) until you hatch a Royal Phoenix at 35% odds. Its x3 Luck directly improves your rare dig finds, including Void Eggs.
Stack boosts before deep digs
Redeem active codes for Luck and Dig Speed boosts (such as the 2x Luck boost), equip Royal Phoenix, and join the RoDark Studios group for the member bonus. Boosts stack with pet multipliers.
Dig the deepest layers
Head to the bottom magma and deep layers, where Void Eggs spawn as extremely rare dig finds. Clear wide tunnels rather than one deep shaft to maximize the number of blocks — and egg chances — per session.
Hatch and repeat
Void Eggs take 30 minutes to hatch. Keep the timer running constantly; every hatch is guaranteed to be a top-tier pet. Trade surplus Void Whales toward a Reaper if luck runs dry.
Void Egg finds in shallow layers are not a thing — rarity is tied to depth. Wandering into magma layers with a low-level shovel wastes stamina and slows your progression. Upgrade first, dig deep second.
Luck, Boosts, and Hatch Optimization
Luck is the single most important stat for secret pet hunting because it raises your odds of rare dig finds — including the Void Eggs themselves. Stack every multiplicative source you can before a deep-dig session.
Luck Sources
- Royal Phoenix: x3 Luck
- Abyssal Reaper: x3 Luck
- Prism Dragon: x1.5 Luck (early)
- Luck boost codes (temporary)
Dig Speed Sources
- Magma Mole: x2 Dig Speed
- Shovel upgrades (permanent)
- Dig Speed boost codes
- Stamina management
Coin Sources
- Void Whale: x4 Coins
- Selling duplicate pets
- Digging blocks and objectives
- Event rewards
Boost stacking follows a simple priority order:
| Priority | Action | Effect on Secret Hunting |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Equip best luck pet | Raises rare dig find rates |
| 2 | Redeem Luck boost codes | Multiplies luck for the session |
| 3 | Upgrade shovel tier | Unlocks deeper Void layers |
| 4 | Join RoDark group | Group member bonus |
| 5 | Rebirth when stalled | Permanent multipliers per run |
Rebirthing resets progress for permanent multipliers, so each new run reaches the deep layers — where Void Eggs live — faster than the last. If your progression stalls, a rebirth is usually worth it before grinding more.
Secret Pet Hunting Checklist
Work through these milestones in order — each one directly increases your Void Egg income or hatch quality.
Secret Pet Roadmap:
- Upgrade shovel to level 3 or higher
- Hatch a Prism Dragon from Crystal Eggs (10% odds)
- Farm Golden Eggs until Royal Phoenix hatches
- Redeem all active codes for boosts and Coins
- Reach the deep and magma dig layers
- Hatch your first Void Egg (30-minute timer)
- Trade surplus Void Whales toward an Abyssal Reaper
Mythical and secret pets regularly trade at 2,000+ gems, and event-limited pets vary widely based on availability. Always compare against current value lists before trading a Reaper — its all-around stat line makes it one of the most demanded pets in the game.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Most failed secret hunts come down to wasted resources, not bad luck. These are the errors that cost players the most time:
| Mistake | Why It Hurts | Better Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Digging one deep shaft | Fewer blocks exposed per stamina spent | Clear wide tunnels for more egg spawns |
| Skipping shovel upgrades | Deep layers become too slow and stamina-hungry | Reinvest Coins into shovel tier first |
| Idling the hatchery | Timers stop; long eggs lose efficiency | Queue the next egg immediately |
| Trading Reapers early | Top-tier value is hard to replace | Keep at least one before trading |
| Hatching without boosts | Wastes high-tier egg odds | Stack luck boosts before Void sessions |
Duplicate Void Whales still carry x4 Coins. Keep a whale team equipped for coin farming while hunting your Reaper — you lose nothing by holding both.
FAQ
Q: What are Dig For Eggs secret pets?
Secret pets are the highest rarity tier in Dig For Eggs, sitting above Legendary. They come from the Void Egg pool — Void Whale (85%) and Abyssal Reaper (15%) — which spawns as an extremely rare find in the deepest dig layers and some limited events.
Q: How do I get Void Eggs in Dig For Eggs?
Void Eggs are extremely rare dig finds in the deep layers, not shop purchases. Upgrade your shovel to reach the bottom layers, equip a luck pet like Royal Phoenix, stack luck boost codes, and dig wide tunnels to maximize blocks broken per session.
Q: Is Abyssal Reaper worth the grind?
Yes. The Reaper offers x5 Coins, x4 Dig Speed, and x3 Luck — the strongest all-around stat line in the game. Every Void Egg hatch also has an 85% chance of a Void Whale, so even failed Reaper attempts produce top-tier coin farmers.
Q: Can I trade for secret pets instead of hatching them?
Yes. Dig For Eggs supports player-to-player pet trading. Mythical and secret pets typically trade for 2,000+ gems or equivalent high-value pets, so surplus Void Whales can be traded toward an Abyssal Reaper.
