Overview

Twisted Garden is a hunting location in Sandtail Desert region.

Living Garden, Lost City, Sand Dunes, Twisted Garden, Cursed City, and Sand Crypts are 6 connected hunting locations, forming the Living Garden complex.

They require the minimum rank of Baron/Baroness and the Living Garden Key to access.

Twisted Garden can only be traveled to when the Hunter's map is in Twisted state.

Normal World and Twisted World

At a time, among 6 hunting locations in the Living Garden complex, only 3 can be traveled to. This depends on whether the Hunter's map is in Normal or Twisted state:

The map state can be changed from Normal to Twisted by:

Doing so will generate a journal entry:
On catching Carmine the Apothecary, a light flashes and a spell she had prepared in advance erupts! Nightmarish tendrils of dark smoke burst from the ground around me, and before I knew it the world had changed before my very eyes into a wild and twisted version of itself.
I can feel this world itself attempting to reject me and send me back, but I must stay as long as I am able to find out what Carmine is doing in this hidden, dark place.

The map state can be changed from Twisted to Normal by either:

Doing any of the actions above will generate a journal entry:
Almost as if an illusion suddenly shattered, the world around me snaps back to normal. Using X Cheese has brought me back to the normal world.

In the Living Garden complex, the Hunter follows 6 main steps in sequence.
Step 4 and 6 can be done in Twisted Garden.

Finishing collecting 10 Red Dewdrops generates a journal entry:

I've filled up on Red Dewdrops. Time to switch to Yellow Sponge Charms or pour them out and start attracting Dehydrated Mice!

Finishing collecting 10 Yellow Dewdrops generates a journal entry:

I've filled up on Yellow Dewdrops. Time to switch to Red Sponge Charms or pour them out and start attracting Dehydrated Mice!

Pouring generates a journal entry:

I combined Red and Yellow Dewdrops, creating an orange mixture that grants me extra power and luck! Spreading it out on the ground will start attracting some very thirsty mice for the next X hunts!
I should unequip my Sponge Charms and save them for later.

When the hunts run out and state switches back from Poured to normal, a journal entry is generated:

With the ground now dry, the Dehydrated mice have retreated.

Heads-Up Display

The Hunter can access and track the following in the HUD:

Clicking it will pop out a confirmation message:
Are you sure you want to pour out your collected Dewdrops?
If you do, you'll attract some very thirsty mice for 0 hunt!
Click Cancel to cancel
Click Confirm to switch state

Mice

All mice found in Twisted Garden are part of the Living Garden Mice group.

Only Hydro power type is effective against the mice here.

Duskshade Camembert can attract all mice except Twisted Carmine and Shattered Carmine which requires Lunaria Camembert. Shattered Carmine also requires arming a Shattering Charm.
Dehydrated Mouse can only be attracted in Poured state.

Most mice here can drop Graveblossom Petal which can be used to purchase Graveblossom Camembert to hunt in Cursed City and Sand Crypts.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Good gracious! All the tiny, adorable, armour-laden mice from the Living Garden have become fused, twisted versions of themselves! I... I don't even know what to say!

I suppose I'll say this, hunter: Be careful! While it looks like they have more Garden Essence than ever before, they're definitely more powerful as well!

It looks like the mice here still hoard moisture just as jealously as before, but the water drops are curiously coloured! Buy Red and Yellow Sponge charms to procure Red and Yellow Dewdrops, then splash them on the ground to attract mice with even more Garden Essences. But pay attention to the drops you collect. The red ones seem to increase your power, while the yellow ones increase your luck. Perhaps collecting both of them will accomplish both of these? Only one way to find out...

Make sure you use your Duskshade Camembert here, hunter. The mice don't seem to enjoy any other cheese. Although perhaps you'll discover yet another cheese later on to help you attract very, very powerful and special mice!
