Items that open each chapter's exit
The card total alone does not advance the main game. Give the chapter's progression items to the specified creature or use them on a mechanism.
| Chapter | Required progression items | Card checklist rows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 feathers | 11 |
| 2 | 5 keys + the 5 friends' wishes | 24 |
| 3 | 3 children | 21 |
| 4 | 14 birds | 28 |
| 5 | 4 boxes of elements; 8 blue seeds earn 1 box | 34 |
| 6 | 5 glowing orbs | 5 |
Choose an article according to what you lack
Distinguish before and after exchanges for Chapter 4's birds/coins and Chapter 5's elements/blue seeds. After giving an item to a shop, do not judge it uncollected from your inventory alone.
| Goal | Article |
|---|---|
| Advance the main game | 6-chapter walkthrough |
| Missing cards | 123 cards |
| Remaining village birds | 14 birds and house exchanges |
| Elements and seeds | 4 elements and blue seeds |
| Stuck on watering or another puzzle | Difficult puzzles and minigames |
| Complete achievements | 53 achievements |
Check detours before moving on
Before giving items to a chapter's final creature, finish the card table's optional actions. Playing every sound, leaving and returning to a screen, and repeatedly interacting with the same creature can also earn cards.
References differ in how they divide card counts by chapter. This guide retains the overall 123 without treating another reference's running numbers as a mandatory acquisition order.
