In Baldo The Guardian Owls, Maluna’s Villa is a dungeon that you’ll need to go to during the Set Luna Free quest. Once you enter the villa, use your shovel to dig up the spot immediately on your left. This will reveal a pressure point.
On the right side of the room, you’ll see a tall green vase. Push it out of the way and retrieve the pot with books on it.
Carry the pot to the pressure point. The bookshelf in this room will move revealing a door! Before you head through it, go through the partially hidden door in the back right corner to the right of the painting leaned against the wall. Follow the narrow path and push the vase at the end against the wall. Return to the previous room and head through the space where the bookshelf was. Hit the lever to cause the staircase to move. Exit this room to return to the starting room in the villa. Head through the doors in the center of the room. Defeat the tentacle (or run past it) then head up the stairs and go through the door. Go down the 2 flights of stairs and enter through the door at the bottom. Have fun traversing the labyrinth! Eventually you’ll reach a door in the north. Head through it then go up the 2 flights of stairs and enter the door at the top.
On the far right side, head up the stairs and enter the door with a half moon half sun symbol above it. Once inside the room, take the pot on the right side and bring it to the pressure point on the left side to lower the gate. Next, grab the pot and carry it to the broken boards in the center of the room. You’ll need to place it at the end of the broken board so you can cross to the other side. Instead of just standing at the end of the board and dropping it down, you’ll need to walk off the end of the board (slightly towards the right side) to reach the little piece jutting out on the far right.
Next, you’ll need to place the pot on that little piece while standing on the left side so you can exit from the other board.
Once you’ve placed the pot, walk up the other board then walk onto the pot. To get to the other side, I had to roll when standing on the books because I was unable to just simple walk across. This task is extremely tedious but it’s possible to do and will save you a lot of extra work!
When you’re on the other side, exit through the door on the right then head right back into the room to reset the pot. Push the box towards the red couch then straight ahead towards the opening in the wooden edge to create a bridge.
Walk across and bring the pot to the pressure point on the other side to release the gate on the fireplace. Crouch through the opening to find a chest containing Maluna’s Key. You’ll receive Maluna’s Villa trophy!
If you did the tedious task of using the pot with a bookstack to create a bridge in the center of the room to gain access to the side with the fireplace, you won’t have to fight a ghostly boss that lights a chandelier. If you’d like to fight it anyway, head to the large room outside of the previous room. On the lower level of this room you’ll notice 2 pots along the back wall. The left is green and the right is red. Each have a nook next to them that is missing a pot. There are 2 loose pots in the room that need to be pushed into their respective place next to their correlating color. The green one on the left is simple to push back into place but the red one on the right is resting on boards that will collapse. The trick to push this one is to stand on the boards to the left of the pot (they will break when you stand on them) and push the pot all the way to the solid boards next to the couch. Then stand by the couch and push it straight ahead towards the chair.
Once both pots are in place, the bookshelf along the back wall will move revealing a door. Enter it to find a room with a flaming pot. Bring that pot to the 3 braziers in the room to light them. A boss will spawn.
