Help getting 100%
I've beaten the game and done about all I can. I'm currently at 94%. There are a couple of things I have yet to find, so if anyone knows where I should go that would be helpful.

Where is the hot, dry, and quiet location for the spores?

Where do I take the spiderling?

I've opened all the chests, found all the wickerlings and finished up the stuff relating to those. My wallet holds 600 fruit now and I'm not sure if that's the max.

I wish there were some options when viewing the map. I'm playing on my Switch in handheld mode and it's really hard to see the icons on the map.

EDIT: I found the spore spot. It's in an underground area near a horn, a bit above a lake. The area is reddish.

I brough the spiderling to Dipperloaf, the big tree. You only get fruit for it.

So now I'm at 97%.

Could you share your current play time and how many bosses there are in the game? Thanks!

I don't know how long I've played. The Switch doesn't report that until 10 days after you start a game. There are 4 bosses, I guess.

I actually first managed to do those two things, still away from maxing my wallet and doing the final hidden achievements. The game's so delightful, I just roll around and play pinball :D

That was it, thanks! I had actually found that area earlier and completely forgot about it. Now I'm at 100%

I'm currently at 88% and stumped on a couple spots. First is the treasure chest in the snowy peaks where there is a little pool of lava to cross. Second is the area directly left of the juicery. Any tips on how to access those spots?

Other than that, I think the only things left for me are to deliver the final package to the bees and the Thorn quest. I still have one of the ball paints left undiscovered (the middle purple one I think it is), so I'm assuming that will help in fashioning a beesuit and ceremonial garb to enter those areas?

Would also like to know how to get the chest over the lava pool.
As for the wickerlings, is there any way to collect more eyes that let you know where they are? Or do I have to keep searching manually? I got the eye for the crystal cave and the eye from the skull gang area.

Got the chest over the lava pool. You need to use an explosive slug. You can get one in the area to the left of the lava pool and make your way thorugh the upward path. The chest contains the tracker for Ivory Peak.
I've also got the tracker for Gorilla Woods; it was with the bunny nea the waterfall.

I'm still missing a couple of wickerlings, and would like to know how to obtain more trackers. IHow many trackers are avaiable? I have four right now, and 7 wickerlings still evades me.

I'm also missing the red ink, the last one of the five. And I'm guessing I need it to enter the secret room near the gorilla statue.

I'm also missing the following secret achievments:
- That's deep
- That's enough
- Jailor

Would apreciate any help towards these.

Oh, and in the beggining of the game, I've entered the juicery and failed the test. Is there any way of entering it again?

Where did you get the purple ball ink from? I'm still missing that one.

Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the red ink. It was the first one I found and wasn't particularly well hidden.

Oh, and for the juicery, just return with your ball painted like the skull and they'll let you back in.

The same happened to me with the purple one... it was my first. Most of the ball inks I got from chests or with NPCs after helping them. If you still didn't got all the chests, that would be the fist place I would care to look.

And for clarification, thee's only 4 eyes in the entire game and they show all the wickerlings. You just have to look closely, since the map sticker sometimes are hard to see (I have all but one nw, and the one I'm missing is just one that needs slugs and aim... in a place where you can't make more slugs after missing... so, yeah, really bad placement.)

I'm down to this last area with the one chest and one wickerling I have left. The top left entry/exit is blocked by a post that needs to be knocked over from the other side and the bottom left entry has a ledge with a grapple point, but I don't see any way to access it. Dropping off the beeline above that area doesn't get me close enough to reach the grapple.

Update: Okay nevermind, I finally got it. Of course the solution was completely obvious.

How do you do the thorn quest in the hidden area with the counter, where the ceremonial garb of the crimson guard is needed to pass? I have all the inks and have tried every possible costume combination. Does it involve a certain number of times the ball needs to fall into thorns?

@Mãe Serpente For the That's Deep achievement, go to the water off the eastern coast of the map and swim down until you find it. And for That's Enough, just toot the noisemaker 1000 times.

the ceremonial garb is just the red paint. Do you or anyone remember where you get the really big green costume paint? Or the green key?

The green key is on the temple, the area where you find big stone inscriptins telling of the islands history. You need to use a slug to boost you to the tiny ledge where the green key is.

Thanks for the tips!

Now I'm just missing the red ink and some scarebs.

I'm missing only 1 chest to get 100%, it's in Ivory Peaks, a bit to the south-west of the one that's across the lave pit. How do you get to it? Look like you need a slug to jump to it from the left, but there are no slugs close to it.
