What is the Pondacondor evolution chart order?

Place Pollypran first, Larvalto second, and Adulbass third on the aquarium board. See the photo order guide.

How do I reveal the aquarium mollusc?

Focus your camera on the shell in the first tank of the first room on the right, then photograph the mollusc when it emerges. See the aquarium mollusc guide.

Where is the last Smelly Findings item?

It depends on the four items you already found. The Smelly Findings guide compares the reported lights and house locations.

Why does Toem 2 crash on Steam Deck at launch?
