Overview

Chapter 4: Settled Valley
Discovery stars to unlock 114
Smiley Flowers 3

Walkthrough

  1. Carry a Detonut to a breakable obstruction and throw it so its explosion opens the route. Keep clear of the blast while watching which nearby objects it affects.
  2. Check the hollow tree early in the habitat. Then enter the cave and descend beside the small waterfall to the rock pile.
  3. Use the Flooflys to climb towards the huge Detonut and surrounding cluster. Throw a Detonut into the group to set off a chain reaction.
  4. The chain blast removes the major blockage and restores the water flow for the Big Discovery. Explore the small entrance and leaf pile before leaving.

Smiley Flower locations

The locations are listed separately from the main route so you can check a missing flower without repeating every step.

Smiley Flower 1 — Hollow tree

Hollow tree: throw an egg into the opening above the tree.

Smiley Flower 2 — Waterfall rocks

Waterfall rocks: take a Detonut down through the cave and explode it beside the stone pile.

Smiley Flower 3 — Cave leaves

Cave leaves: throw a Detonut into the leaf pile by the low entrance near the Flooflys.

Creatures and additional discoveries

An explosion can affect several objects at once, making placement more important than simply throwing as far as possible. Revisit Scatterpuff's page after meeting Detonut: spores can stop a Detonut from exploding, creating a different experiment from the usual chain reaction.

Before leaving

  • Check the habitat’s flower counter against the locations above.
  • Finish the main objective before entering the sparkly exit.
  • Review the creature’s book entry for an unrecorded interaction or a later discovery event.
