The Garden

Walkthrough

The area in the order you play it. Tick things off as you go: they tick off in the checklists below too.

1. 1

   Cross the Broken Bridge to Enclosed Grove

   After entering the Lava Tubes under Solace Keep during Our Dreams Divide Us Still, step onto the broken stone arches with floating boulders and roots suspended over an abyss. Near the path toward Enclosed Grove, freeze the water to form ice platforms, jump across, and have Yatzli dispel the illusion to loot a chest. Reach the Enclosed Grove Camp to access a craft and enchanting workbench and talk with Kai, Marius, Giatta, and Yatzli before venturing outward.

   Wildwalker Armor: Near the Enclosed Grove path, in a chest behind an illusion/ice-platform jump puzzleHow: Freeze water to ice jump and use Yatzli to dispel the illusionMissable because: Point of no return / zone is permanently sealed off once completed Don't miss

   Tip: Freeze the water surface so you can jump safely toward the hidden illusion.

   Watch out: Moving forward without grabbing the chest locks you out of the Wildwalker Armor permanently once the region is finished.

2. 2

   Scour the Maegfolc Graveyard

   Head above the approach to find a hidden side ledge with a chest, then enter the stone courtyards of the Maegfolc Graveyard scattered with dismantled constructs. Eliminate the Damaged Maegfolc using shock or corrosion to shatter their armor, as well as The Arisen and Putrid Skeletons guarding an off-path crypt staircase where you can pick up an amulet. Solve the Sarcophagus Key puzzle in the nearby inner crypt for an armor set, and stand by the lower window of the main structure to zap two switches with electricity, use Yatzli on the upper level to remove an illusory wall, and shoot the final switch to access a sarcophagus room.

   Key fight: Damaged Maegfolc Key fight: The Arisen / Putrid Skeletons

   Tip: Focus down Putrid Skeleton Priests and Wizards first to halt area-of-effect spells and buffs, utilizing blunt weapons on remaining skeletons.

   Watch out: You cannot return to grab Wayfinder, Spiritmender Armor, or the Wildwalker Gloves after clearing the region.

3. 3

   Traverse the Broken Aqueduct

   Descend into the flooded valley filled with crumbling Godless infrastructure, stone scaffolding, and webbed tunnels. Climb the upper catwalks to retrieve boots from a ruined alcove, burn through thick spider webs hiding a trinket, and inspect the water tunnels for a concealed Godless chest. Plunge into the deep pool beneath the massive northern waterfall to dive down and pull a greatsword out of a drowned construct, clear out the Dreamthrall spider swarms with fire, and scale the tall rock mound near the southern shrine chamber to pull a greathammer from a dormant Maegfolc's head before interacting with the shrine inside.

   Key fight: Dreamthrall Creatures

   Tip: Incinerate Moon Spider swarms with sweeping fire attacks before their poison builds up.

   Watch out: Leaving the Broken Aqueduct without checking the waterfall depths or the southern shrine chamber forfeits Unmaker, Inevitability, and the Ancient Memory forever.

   Prepare at Overlook Camp and Breach the Inner Complex

   Proceed to the Overlook Camp right before the inner gate to make final preparations at the craft and enchanting workbench, making sure to search a nearby stone crevice. Advance directly into the heavily fortified Godless architecture of the Inner Complex and engage the fully active Pristine Maegfolc constructs. Apply frost to root these pristine guardians and land critical hits against their stun threshold to destroy them and claim their dropped limb.

   Key fight: Pristine Maegfolc

   Tip: Exploit freeze effects to keep Pristine Maegfolc locked in place while scoring critical hits.

   Watch out: Skipping the stone crevice by the camp will cost you the Wildwalker Ring permanently.
