tail breathing croc water

[Siddak]

Anybody else having trouble collecting the tail breathing croc water? Not sure if it's just something I can't figure out or what. Whenever I hit them with the pickaxe they just sink and disappear.

That’s just because you’re too heavy to stand on them. You need to drink potion to lose your weight.

🤦‍♀️ brain fart, I’ve been using that potion for other things too lol. Thank you!

You can also collect the tail breathing croc water without potion! You stand on a croc and hit it with pickaxe once, it sinks and leaves bubbles. You chase the bubbles swimming very fast and the croc appears again. You stand on it again and hit it. Croc sinks and leaves bubbles which you chase again and theeeen on a third time you hit it and it gives you water!

Any tip for the piglets ? I can't figure for the life of me how to do them without the potion...

It was so simple and yet I couldn't figure it out! Your comment really helped me, thanks!

for the piglets, you almost have to use the potion, as they run towards you when you get too close, but after they deflate they do a bubble and a little hart which you can sometimes catch but, just use the potion unless its in the encyclo task list cause it takes too long to do it that way

Can you please tell which potion do I have to use and how? Can't figure this out for sooo long 😞

Regular piglets you can shove around and have them eat more shiny spores from the shiny shrooms nearby until they get all round and burp out a big bubble, it's not THAT difficult once you understand how they move, but the SHINY piglets seem to ignore the spores and require the potion to burp.
Piglets are farmable with the inflation potion.
How?
Aim and Throw
chuck, like half the potions in the game. (chug the other half)

Each potion of a region seems to have a direct resource-gathering use in the region in this game. Most have additional environmental effects/set pieces they are meant for.

I found that if necessary, the game will handhold you into crafting each of them to progress. When bumping into puzzles in Cloud Vally, I gathered Topic Words I could use for a very hands-on hint from some character in the village. (I checked them out even tho I knew which potion was needed, cause I like dialogue)

Crocs don't "disappear", they will spawn a bubbles trail you need to find. swim around where they sink to find the first trail, then go in that general direction as they usually go in a smooth path where possible (around the topography)

The difficulty is that you don't see the bubbles right away, you need to go in the right direction FIRST to notice them as you approach. But once you find the first one, it's usually straight-forward to follow the trail.

In case anyone else is still struggling with this: for me the key thing that I was missing is that you shouldn't max your pickaxe, just hit it super lightly, then the bubbles will start spawning.
I managed to max hit it many times, but that just didn't trigger the additional bubbles to spawn at all
