Section 2
Touch the large blue plant at the bottom left, and the glowbutt will fly over to the bridge. Break a couple of nearby pots. While you are at it, break as many other pots as you can see here, and in all other sections to gather these achievements:
- Break 5 pots Aspiring Pot Breaker

Look at the red pattern in the background, then approach the hexagon. Click on the yellow segments to turn them blue so that they match the red pattern you just saw, then go through the gate.
Section 4
Touch the nearest blue plant, then pick up the relic (2/6) hidden behind it. Touch the 3 blue plants in the far left, and note the harp image behind them. Come out to the main controls and adjust the left lever so that gold bar is in the second space from the top (matching the harp image you just saw).
Examine the puzzle at the far right. Click on the various buttons until you have generated a complete path from right to left, then take another relic (6/6). Back out and go through the gate in the far left.

Drag your charger to the far left to charge up the yellow crystal. Aim the top laser to the other crystal on the far right, and position the charger beneath the small fixed connector just right of the middle. Now slide the yellow crystal just to the right. Collect the next relic (5/6). In your inventory, poke this relic 15 times This Is Fun!.
Back out and grab one of the glowing plants from the bottom left. Now approach the handle to the far right. Pour water into the container on the left, and put your glowing plant in the pot. Go back to where you got the glowing plant, and use your bucket to get some soil. Go and pour this on the plant you just put in the pot, and it will come back to life. Now push the lever up, and you will be able to see two more images, of a drum and a weapon. Return through the gateway on the left.
Section 4
Go to the main controls and adjust the middle lever so the gold bar is over the 3rd space from the bottom (matching the drum image from Section 5).
