Pollen Fields Guide
Once you complete the dial puzzle at the end of the Hall of Elders, you will take your first step in the Pollen Fields. After the small cutscene, you will be at the entrance of the region.
Head down the stairs and keep moving forward until you come across a huge open area. Here, you will find the lighthouse is covered with pink clouds, which allow you to jump even higher than normal.
Take the path on the left that will lead you to another open area; ignore the stairs on the right.
Jump down and make your way to the platform ahead. You will see a floating ledge. Use the light to break the pink clouds under the ledge to lower it. Do the same to make your way to the other side.
Once you are on the other side, use the steam from the ground to lift yourself up to the upper region. A cutscene will soon trigger. The Pollen Fields area is now over; we are marching into the Pollen Falls section.
Pollen Falls Guide
Here we will encounter two Waterfall Puzzles; the bigger one will unlock the main route, and the shorter one will reveal the collectible tied to the achievement.
Pollen Falls Collectible Guide
Step 1: Once the cutscene is over, move to the right and climb on the ledge next to the waterfall. Use your light on the yellow plants to grow them, so a worm will come out of the hole and eat them.
Step 2: Once the worm eats all the plants, it will create a steam that you can use to lift land on the platform, which will be on the left side of the waterfall. Here, don’t interact with any machinery; jump to the platform on the right.
Step 3: Use Twig to interact with the lever. Make your way back to the left side of the waterfall. Now, use Twig to pull the bolt on the wall, all the way down to the bottom of the machine.
Step 4: After you complete the puzzle, the waterfall will stop, and you can go inside the hidden hole in the wall.
#1. Waterfall Puzzle
Step 1: Get out of the hole and drop down on the ground. Stick the path on the right until you see another steam gushing out of the ground. Get on it to reach the ledge above.
Step 2: Use your light to remove the pink cloud below the ledge on the right, and then go left.
Step 3: You will find a machine latched to the rock. Here, send Twig to rotate the gear. It will open up the platform on the metal tower on the right. Make your way to the top of the metal tower.
Step 4: Once on the platform, make your way to the left. Here, get to the right of the platform, use Twig on the lever to open up two more platforms on top of metal towers.
Step 5: Jump on the towers to get to the other side. Here, park your lighthouse on the spot on the right to stop the waterfall at the bottom.
Step 6: Now glide your way into the hole behind the waterfall to enter the next area. Follow the linear path, drop down, and climb on the ledge ahead.
Use the lighthouse light to pop the pink clouds under the ledge on the front. Get on the ledge and then onto the steam coming out of the ground on the right to lift yourself to the upper region.
#2. Waterfall Puzzle
Step 1: You will see a large waterfall at the front; the only way outside the area is by stopping the water.
Step 2: First, head right, climb on the ledge, and use your light to pop the pink cloud hanging at the bottom of the ledge. The ledge will have steam coming out of it.
Step 3: Now, get on the ledge on the left and then jump on the ledge with the steam. Use the steam to make your way to the platform on the top-right of the waterfall. Use Twig to rotate the lever and stop the waterfall on the right side.
Step 4: Now make your way to the left of the waterfall by carefully jumping on the steam to get to the other side.
Step 5: Use Twig to interact with the lever on the left side to stop all water from running on the waterfall. Once the water stops, it will reveal a hole.
#3. Waterfall Puzzle
Step 1: First, make your way to the right side of the puzzle, and use the lights to remove the yellow thrones coming out of the ground.
Step 2: There will be one covering the gear on the wall. So make sure to remove all the thrones with your light. Now use the steam on the ground to get to the platform right of the waterfall.
Step 3: Once you land on the platform, you will find many thrones blocking the machinery. So remove the thrones and then use Twig to set the lever.
This will pull up a platform below the water, the waterfall blocking the water above, revealing a path inside. Just use your left move to go through the hole and follow the linear route to get to the other side.
#4. Waterfall Puzzle
Step 1: On the other side, you will see a machine on the left with a pink cloud blocking it. Use your light to remove the cloud to reveal the machinery. Now send Twig to pull the metal bolt all the way to the bottom of the machine.
Step 2: This will stop the waterfall on the right, move to the right, and use the light to remove the pink cloud hanging from the ledge. Once it’s cleared, jump on it and go through the hole behind the waterfall.
On the other side of the hole, follow the linear route, and it will take you to the Great Pollen Tree area, which will lead to the Rainfall location.
