Hidden Flower #1
When you wake up in the forest, start heading right.Nevais still a young pup and gets distracted easily. So you’ll have to call her every now as you keep moving. After the section where you help her jump a large gap, you’ll arrive at a lake/waterfall area. You’ll have to jump down and continue right to progress. After dropping down, head left to find the first Hidden Flower under the tree.
Heading left from the start point will get you to the firstfeeding location to unlock the Provideachievement.
Hidden Flower #2
After getting the first Hidden Flower, keep progressing through the chapter. Soon, you’ll unlock the sword and have to play a short sequence in which you cut down corrupted black hands blocking your path.
Moving forward, you’ll see your path blocked by a tree. To progress through the level, you’ll need to jump on the platforms and jump up to the tree to get around it. Now you’re able to chop the tree from the other side. To get to the Flower, jump back on the platform and up to the tree. From here, jump to the higher platforms, and you’ll find the second Hidden Flower for the chapter.
Hidden Flower #3
For the third Hidden Flower, you’ll need to finish the first part of Chapter 1. After waking up, start heading right. Keep progressing and moving past the black vines until you get to the first Masked Bulb. You’ll see that hitting them removes the vines, opening your path forward. After solving the first puzzle, you’ll notice the white glow of a Hidden Flower coming from the vines right below the first platform in the next room.
To remove the vine, move past the vines and hit the Masked Bulb in the next room. Now, you can collect the third Hidden Flower for this chapter.
Hidden Flower #4
You’ll run into a big chase sequence as you progress through the level. Afterward, you’ll fall down to a lower platform, getting separated from Neva. The fourth Hidden Flower of the chapter can be found after dodging through the two black vines.
Getting to this Hidden Flower is a bit tricky because of the vines hanging on the ceiling. Get on the left platform and drop down. Dodge quickly while falling and jump again to reach the platform with the Flower.
Hidden Flower #5
The final Hidden Flower in Chapter 1 can be found near the end of the level. After completing the fighting sequence and activating the Totem, you’ll have to move to the left to go back up. You’ll notice a Hidden Flower in the left room, but it will be blocked by a vine hanging from the ceiling.
To reach the platform, you’ll need to drop down, dodge mid-air and jump again.
With that, you’ll have collected all five Hidden Flowers in the first chapter. Remember, each chapter holds its own set of Hidden Flowers waiting to be discovered. As you journey through the seasons, keep your eyes peeled for that white glow on your screen to find the rest of the Hidden Flowers inNeva.
