Overview

Chapter 8: Tallest of Trees
Discovery stars to unlock 353
Smiley Flowers 3

Complete Chapter 6 before continuing into this part of the book.

Walkthrough

  1. Carry a young Piranha Plant and feed it small creatures. As it grows, its jaws become strong enough to crack the hard nut.
  2. In the dark cave, feed a portable plant Neon Bugs. Its glowing body lights the climb to the upper ledge.
  3. Take water to the wilted flower later in the habitat. Watering a potted Piranha Plant is a different experiment: it does not replace feeding as the plant's growth method.
  4. Explore the mature plant's biting reactions after opening the nut. Keep a smaller plant available for routes where carrying it is easier than moving the adult.

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 — Hard nut

Hard nut: feed a plant until it is fully grown, then let its jaws crack the shell.

Smiley Flower 2 — Dark cave

Dark cave: make a portable plant glow by feeding it Neon Bugs and carry it to the upper platform.

Smiley Flower 3 — Wilted plant

Wilted plant: direct the nearby water onto the dry flower until it blooms.

Creatures and additional discoveries

Growth, glowing after Neon Bugs and biting a tough nut are different observations. Carrying an immature plant past the cave is useful; growing every plant immediately can make the lighting route inconvenient.

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.
