INDIE GAME / PLAY GUIDE
Botanicula Chapter 4: 14 Birds, Coins, and Trade Items
Added progression items and checklists for 6 chapters and every card · Updated 2026-10-12
Even when a bird is visible inside a house, a cook or trade-item condition may remain. Collect all 14 and check optional cards before giving them to the uppermost house.
How to obtain all 14 birds
Numbers are this guide's checklist order. House reactions after taking a bird can also earn cards.
| ID | House landmark | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Sound-pipe house | From the bird-head state, blow the lower and middle pipes |
| 02 | Bubble house for the five friends | Use Mr Poppyhead to gather small bubbles and take the bird bubble |
| 03 | Collector's house | Give the red plant/hat from the meditation tree |
| 04 | Ice house | Drop the snow and pull the bird from the snowman |
| 05 | Sports house | Win volleyball 3 times with Mrs Mushroom |
| 06 | Dining room | Wake the guest with pepper and take the bird while the cook looks away |
| 07 | Kitchen | Give the dining-room seed to the cook and receive the oven bird |
| 08 | Bedroom | Catch a firefly in the bottle, then collect the bird after it and the creature fall asleep |
| 09 | Storeroom | Remove the wall plug and open the pink umbrella |
| 10 | Jack-in-the-box house | Operate it 3 times and immediately take the bird that appears |
| 11 | Dark rope house | Light the room with the bottled firefly and release the rope when the bird reaches the center |
| 12 | Vending-machine house | Insert 3 coins to raise the water |
| 13 | Altar house | Trade the golden creature from the storeroom safe |
| 14 | Bird from an egg | Give the underground nest's seed to the shaman and hatch the egg on the machine's platform |
The exchange chain
Separate using pepper and a seed in the dining room, a bottle and firefly in the bedroom, and collecting the golden creature in the storeroom. Visiting only the bird's house is insufficient.
| Obtain first | Recipient / use | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dining-room seed | Kitchen cook | Oven bird |
| Bedroom firefly bottle | Dark rope house | Light and the rope bird |
| Meditation tree's red trade item | Collector | Exhibition bird |
| Storeroom golden creature | Altar | Altar bird |
| Underground nest seed | Shaman | Egg → hatched bird |
3 coins for the vending machine
Check behind the collector's picture, the green drawer above the kitchen, and the ice house's igloo. Additional coin routes also exist, including the nest creature in the dark rope house.
After inserting coins into the machine, you hold fewer. Distinguish not having found 3 coins from having already inserted them, then take the bird after the water rises.
Hatching the egg: Machine platform or dark-house nest
These are not 2 separate eggs. Give the item brought from the underground nest to the shaman, then hatch the egg received either on the machine platform or in the dark house's nest. Do not add another bird or card for the alternative route.
- Inspect the large seed on the village's left branch and follow your abducted friends to the underground nest.
- Remove the bottom plug to enter the maze, then go right → right → upper left → right → up → left → left → up. Also check larvae at dead ends.
- Repeatedly click the friend in the center to rescue them, then bring the recovered item to the purple shaman's house at the village's upper left. Take the egg that appears on the floor.
- In the small red machine house at the lower right, first pull the right switch to move the creature. Leave and reenter the house so the platform is empty.
- Place the inventory egg on the raised platform and pull the right switch. Collect the hatched bird.
The other route is the rope house lit with the bedroom firefly: place the egg in the lower-left nest. Check the machine house's 5-clock and 6-pipe cards separately from your hatching route.
