These pesky plant doors will prove to be one of the first hurdles you’ll face in Journey to the Savage Planet. Buzzing away, the Meat Vent isn’t interested in retracting its tentacles for just anyone. What this mean-faced fella needs is a tasty treat as incentive. Scan the Meat Vent plant door and you’ll get the message that you need to feed it a pufferbird. Yes, you know those cute little critters that adore you so much? Yeah, the Meat Vent likes to munch on them.

You’ll typically find Pufferbirds in abundance not far from any Meat Vent plant door in Journey to the Savage Planet. Either wait for one to run close enough, or use Grob to lure them near to the door. The vents are usually high up, so you’ll then want to run up and melee the Pufferbird. This will kick it high into the air, hopefully into the path of the Meat Vent. Get it close enough and the plant will start sucking the air in front, pulling your poor pufferbird into its whirling mouth. Alternatively, use the bouncing gelatinous blob tool to create a launch pad that'll send the pufferbird skyward and into the Meat Vent's path.
