Guide the forest friend onward
Show / hide details
Leaf platforms change shape when you jump. Check the next landing before leaving.
- Head left from the center and climb the leaf platforms. Before the bridge, check left of the tallest tree for a memento.
- Use Heavy on the bridge to drop apples. The friend appears, eats them and follows you.
- If the friend cannot clear a ledge, return to a lower root or platform route and guide it. Go back for it rather than jumping far ahead and waiting.
- After the friend climbs onto high brown terrain, turn back right before advancing to avoid missing apples.
- Use Heavy on the pillar so the friend copies you and opens the floor. Find the friend again after the long slide before checking right.
Apples requires feeding eight apples. Confirm that the friend eats them, not merely that they land nearby.
Two stars and double jump
Show / hide details
Use the central ability point as your reference while collecting the left and right stars.
- Take the friend right to receive a star. Use the opened wall as a shortcut back to the center.
- On the left, climb the tree whose leaves change with jumps. Approach the star from the left and visit the memento high in the tree farther left.
- Bring both stars to unlock double jump. Try a second midair input and holding the input to descend slowly.
- Double jump near a flock of red birds to rise higher. Break the pot above with Heavy to release more birds and inspect the upper route.
Heights beyond an ordinary jump often require the red birds’ lift.
Black bird: resist wind or ride it
Show / hide details
Some sections require standing against the wind; others turn it into extra reach.
- After climbing the large tree with red birds, break the cracked floor in the lower-right passage for a memento.
- At the statue along the leftward tree route, try singing even though your voice has not returned. This is the Bargaining location.
- Use Heavy where the bird pushes you back. Release it for gaps, jump, and descend slowly to catch the wind.
- Near the upside-down tree, ride wind from the left platform toward the high right detour. The later red-bird lift also lets you enter the left tower for a memento.
- At the final bell, hold your position with Heavy and let the wind reach the bell. After the bird leaves, climb to the star bridge.
You do not defeat the bird by attacking it. Choose between wind-assisted travel and holding position with Heavy.
After blue: follow water-marked platforms back
Show / hide details
Restored blue makes the outlines of certain platforms visible through water.
- Cross transparent platforms using water and trees as landmarks. The cracked floor beyond the red-bird ascent leads to the forest’s final memento.
- Return to the central building and head toward the water below. The lower-left route with a turtle symbol leads underground.
The forest has seven mementos. Restarting from the forest’s beginning is the clearest way to retry the apple task.
