1. Enter the Hollow Tree
2. Recover the Pinwheel Vanes

Enter the Hollow Tree

Entrance

After getting to the entrance you can grab the bucket and fill it up with water on the right side of the area near the window. Use this bucket to water the plants to make some flowers bloom. Once all flowers have been bloomed, strobe all the flowers to get some Gold.

Interact with the tree to spawn a Golden Bat for some gold, and head into the gate to progress.

Courtyard

Water the plants here for some money, and suck up the dust pile on the north eastern corner of the Courtyard. Water the sapling to produce a spike fruit.

Use your Dark-Light to reveal the eastern pressure switch and grab the spike fruit before activating the switch. Shoot the cardboard Greenie that appears with the spike fruit and a Gold Greenie will appear. Suck it up for some coins, and instead of heading to the Pinwheel Gate, head to the left into the Tower Lobby first.

Tower Lobby

If you've obtained at least 200G, investigate a barrel for a Gold Bone. Head up the stairs on the other side of the room. Use your Dark-light on the pipe that currently draining down. Once you get it connected, head down and use your Dark-Light to make the door to the West Garden and Maintenance reappear.

Maintenance and West Garden

By connecting the pipes, the Water should make a spike fruit grow. Grab it and use it on the flytrap monster to get a chest containing the Stone Emerald. Grab the bills on the wall to your left on your way out.

Tower Lobby and Plant Nursery

Heading out, head up the stairs and go to the Plant Nursery. Use your vacuum to activate the pressure wheel on the eastern side of the room. This will make two flowers grow. Grab the bucket and use it to water the two flowers in the planters in the foreground. Strobe the flowers, and you should get a ton of Bills from this. You can now exit and head out back into the Courtyard.

Courtyard and Hydro Generator

Head to the Pinwheel Gate and use your Poltergust to make it spin. Hiders will then take the Pinwheel's blades and you now have to chase them to get them back! Head to the Hydro Generator room to the right, and grab the goodies in the Treasure Chest at the eastern side of the room using your Dark-Light.

Recover the Pinwheel Vanes

Hydro Generator and East Hall

Use your Strobulb to unlock the door to the East Hall. Check the portrait for some gold and use your Dark-Light to reveal a door at the back of the room. Head into the door and you will now be at the Gardener's Dwelling.

Gardener's Dwelling

Go to the wardrobe in the northeast and a Hider will be inside it. It will phase through the floor. Blow on the ceiling fan to retract the bed and reveal a lift down. Before heading down, make sure to grab the water bucket.

Gardener's Lab

Defeat the Greenies with sunglasses in this room, making sure to not get near the flytrap monster. Head west, and examine the papers on the desk for the Hider to appear. Use your Strobulb to stun it before it can reach the toolbox and capture it for your first Pinwheel Piece.

Head north through the water stream, and you will see a door to the Sewers.

Sewers

Suck up the first sprout you see on the ceiling to reveal Boolean. Capture it, and you can suck up the other sprout for some cash. There's also a treasure chest here that you can get to by vacuuming the bars next to where it is. You can now head back to the Lab.

East Hall and Tool Shed

After grabbing the Boo in the Sewers, head back up to the East Hall using the balloon bulbs to get to the Dwelling. Once there, head back to the East Hall and into the Tool Shed through the door to the right.

Defeat the Slammer and two Greenies, then interact with the middle drawer for the Hider. Capture it to get your second Pinwheel Piece and then head through the door to the Garden.

Garden

Head east and pull on the red ball connected to the lawn mower. Head to where the lawn mower is and a Gobber with two Greenies wearing buckets will appear. Prioritize the Greenies first making sure to not get near the Gobber. After beating them, the Hider will be in the vases so look for the one that is shaking. Stun the Hider, and capture it for your third Pinwheel Piece.

Find the bucket and fill it with water. Use it to water all the buds and one of them will the the Rectangle Emerald. After grabbing all you need from the Garden, head back inside to the Tool Shed.

Tool Shed and Toolshed Stairs

Head inside and interact with the fountain which leads you into the Toolshed Stairs. Grab the money, and head up the stairs by following it when it moves. At the top a Greenie will appear, so take care of that. Then, use your Dark-light to reveal an end table. Head west to the Botany Lab. Don't bother with the one north as it is a trap door.

Botany Lab

Grab the bucket, and place it near the machine before heading west. Use your vacuum to peel off the poster for some cash, and then activate the machine with your Strobulb. Make sure to adjust the bucket so it gets filled with water and then take it to the sprout in the upper east corner to water a flower. Use your Strobulb on them and you will get the Football Emerald.

Head back to the machine. If you look up, you'll notice that there's a pipe missing from the machine connecting to the tube. Use your Dark-light to make it appear and use your Strobulb to turn the machine on again. The plant will then grow and give you access to the Seedling Laboratory.

Seedling Laboratory

Interact with the plant to get to the Seedling Laboratory where you will be immediately ambushed by Greenies. Take them out, and you'll find the Hider in the drawer off in the northwest corner of the room. Capture it to get your fourth Pinwheel Piece.

Use the potato gun in the middle of the room to shoot the mouse running around with the Gem. This may take a while but once you hit it, you'll receive the Drop Emerald. Head out the door to your right once you're done.

Toolshed Stairs and Conservatory

Head up the stairs and go into the room with the blue rug in front of it. Once in the observatory, you first need to defeat the Slammers before finding the Hider inside the organ. Once it's captured, grab the last Pinwheel Piece, and E. Gadd will take you back.
