Overview

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

Walkthrough

  1. Find the red Shy Guy by the turquoise house on the right and the orange one left of the start. Tail Flick the flower bed above them to expose the pink Shy Guy.
  2. Cross the roofs and wooden bridge. Continue to the right platforms for yellow, then climb the thatched roof for turquoise.
  3. Inspect the bridge's hidden room and the underwater tunnel. At the bulge in the water's ceiling, jump up into the concealed room.
  4. Leave the water through the well. Search beneath the table in the house to its right for dark blue. Tail Flick in the mud near the left cave for green. Finding all seven completes the Big Discovery.

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 — Rooftops

Rooftops: carry a Shy Guy across the bridge and throw it upwards from the roof.

Smiley Flower 2 — Bridge room

Bridge room: enter the secret room on the right and Ground Pound its bottom-right crate.

Smiley Flower 3 — Water tunnel

Water tunnel: follow the lower passage and jump at the raised section of its surface to enter the hidden room.

Creatures and additional discoveries

Colours make the residents easier to track, but hiding places are the real clues. Test flowers, mud and furniture with the Tail Flick. Take time to compare a running Shy Guy with one you are carrying; catching the obvious residents alone will leave the concealed ones undiscovered.

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.
