| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Collect the Banandium Gems in front of you, then talk to the ostrich with a yellow exclamation point. |
| 2 |  Head towards the direction of the Eggshell Hotel. |
| * |  To create a bridge, pick up a seed and throw it at a wooden surface. Keep in mind that seeds can be thrown at any wood and not just those painted with a target. ▶︎ How to Throw |
| 3 |  Talk to the Fractone after dropping down from the large ostrich head to help get your bearings. |
| 4 |  Once you're in Bellhop Burb, you can shop or build a Getaway before proceeding. Talk to the ostrich with a yellow exclamation point near the Style Shop when you're ready. |
| 5 |  Follow the tree root. Defeat or avoid the Crockoids to reach the tree stump with a seed on it. Throw the seed onto the target, then talk to the ostrich on the wooden platform. |
| 6 |  To get the next seed, destroy the red thorns on the left side of your current platform using a chunk of terrain. |
| * | You cannot use the seed from the previous platform to make a bridge on the next platform. Only one bridge per seed source can be active at a time. |
| 7 |  Get the seed hidden inside the tree stump and throw it at the target to form a bridge. |
| 8 |  Make your way up the big tree. There will be flying enemies and thorns along the way. Get rid of them by hitting them with terrain chunks. |

| 11 |  Climb up the metal support bracket. Enemies await you above. Avoid their attacks and take them down by throwing chunks at them. |
| 12 | Once they're defeated, make another bridge using the seed. |
| * |  You can ask the Constructone at the top of the big tree to remove the purple thorns for 500 Gold. This can make it easier for you to climb back up if you end up at the bottom again. |
| * |  Bring down the rope near the Barrel Cannon to create a shortcut if you should fall to the bottom. |
| 13 |  Take the Barrel Cannon to get inside Eggshell Hotel. |

| 4 |  To get a seed to reach the record piece, follow the left path to a door next to some red thorns. Break the door to get the seed inside. |
| * |  If you want to get the Banandium Gem straight ahead from the seed, pick up the seed and throw it at the wooden Crockoid to make a bridge. This also prevents the Crockoid from attacking you. |
| 5 |  Pick up the seed, and throw it at the target near the Ancient Record piece. Return this piece to the Ostrich Elder. |
| 6 |  Go back down to the Eggshell Hotel Pool, then take the path behind the Barrel Cannon. Down punch the door to reach the Eggshell Hotel Garden. |

| 9 |  Ride the updraft to go up to the poison plant, and punch it until you destroy it. |
| 10 |  Go through the door or the opening on the side to enter the Eggshell Hotel Annex. You can shop or rest here first if you'd like. Once you're ready, go through the doorway opposite the Style Shop and follow the path to a jumping off point. |
| 11 |  Activate your Ostrich Bananza form, then flutter off. Travel to the large landmass, then make your way to the updraft fans on the right. |
| 12 |  Use the updrafts to fly to the third poison plant, and destroy it. |
