== Overview ==
 +
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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|Baron/Baroness]] and the [[Living Garden Key]] to access.
 +
 
 +
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' can only be traveled to when the Hunter's map is in [[#Normal World and Twisted World|Normal state]].

 +
== Dewdrop [[Minigame]] ==
 +
In '''{{PAGENAME}}''', the '''Dewdrop''' mechanics are in effect:
 +
*Using special [[Charms]] makes mice drop [[Dewdrop]]:
 +
**[[Sponge Charm]] makes mice drop 1 [[Dewdrop]] per catch.
 +
**[[Blue Double Sponge Charm]] makes mice drop 2 [[Dewdrop]]s per catch.
 +
*[[Dewdrop]]s can be collected up to a maximum of 20. At 20 [[Dewdrop]]s, the sponge charms will not make mice drop any additional [[Dewdrop]]s.
 +
*'''Pouring''' will consume all [[Dewdrop]]s and change the state to '''Poured''' for a number of hunts.
 +
**In '''Poured''' state, [[Thirsty Mouse]] can be attracted using [[Standard Cheese]].
 +
**In '''Poured''' state, [[Sponge Charm]] and [[Blue Double Sponge Charm]] will not make mice drop any [[Dewdrop]]s.
 +
**The number of hunts depends on the number of [[Dewdrop]]s poured based on the following table:

After capturing [[Carmine the Apothecary]] in the [[Living Garden]], the hunter is transferred to a different version of the location, the [[Twisted Garden]].
+
Finishing collecting 20 [[Dewdrop]]s generates a journal entry:
 +
:''I've filled up on Dewdrops. Time to pour them out and start attracting Thirsty Mice!''
 +
'''Pouring''' generates a journal entry:
 +
:''I poured out my collected Dewdrops, and started attracting some 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 Thirsty mice have retreated.''
 +
 
 +
== Heads-Up Display ==
 +
The Hunter can access and track the following in the '''HUD''':
 +
*[[#Dewdrop Minigame|Dewdrop Minigame]]
 +
**The number of [[Dewdrop]] is displayed.
 +
**There is a '''Pour''' button, which the Hunter can click to switch state to '''Poured'''.
 +
::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 '''X hunt'''!''

===Mice with Special Requirements===
 
*[[Relic Hunter Mouse]] – This mouse visits the [[Living Garden]] on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an [[Ancient Relic]] in their inventory to attract this mouse. The [[Ancient Relic]] will be taken by the [[Relic Hunter Mouse]] in exchange for a [[Relic Hunter Scroll Case]].
 
  
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
 
== Hunting Strategy ==
This area is visited twice during the Living Garden sequence.  Initially, hunters use ordinary cheese to collect [[Dewthief Petal]]s required for the cheese needed in the [[Lost City]] and [[Sand Dunes]] locations.  Later, hunters return with [[Duskshade Camembert]] obtained from those intermediate areas, in order to catch [[Carmine the Apothecary]] and transition to twisted reality.
+
=== Hunting Tips by [[Larry]] ===
 +
Hail, brave hunter!
  
This area also introduces the [[Book of Living Recipes]], a total of 25 crafting recipes the Hunter must discover by combining Garden Essences and other items.
+
You know, I spent so much time staring at this place, wondering what could be inside... Would it be exotic monsters, or crazed plants? But now that I'm here, all I really know is that something weird is going on!
  
===Dewdrop Minigame===
+
If you watch carefully, you can observe tiny raids from other mouse tribes coming to the garden and stealing the Garden Essences that accumulate here. You can gather your own as well by trapping the mice that reside here, and then put them to use here in the Garden!
The [[Living Garden]] update introduced new [[minigame]]s on 14 November 2012. The '''Dewdrop Minigame''' allows Hunters in the [[Living Garden]] to use [[Sponge Charm]]s to gather [[Dewdrop]]s. Each [[Dewdrop]] collected increases the number of hunts for which it is possible to attract the [[Thirsty Mouse]]. For the first 10 [[Dewdrop]]s, 1 hunt is added. for the next 9, 2 hunts are added, and for the 20th [[Dewdrop]], 7 hunts are added, allowing for a maximum of 35 hunts in which the hunter can attract the [[Thirsty Mouse]], which always drop 1 [[Ber Essence]] and 1 [[Cynd Essence]].
 
  
After 20 Dewdrops, the bucket is full, and the following message is displayed in the [[Hunter's Journal]]:
+
If you check the shop, you'll see that you can purchase Sponge Charms for Aleth Essences and use those to collect dewdrops. Collect enough dewdrops and you can cover the ground in moisture, attracting Thirsty Mice who drop even more and better Garden Essences!
:''I've filled up on Dewdrops. Time to pour them out and start attracting Thirsty Mice!''
 
  
Upon 'pouring', the following message is displayed:
+
While you're here, make sure to collect as many Dewthief Petals as you can - you'll need them to buy cheese to hunt with later on!
:''I poured out my collected Dewdrops, and started attracting some thirsty mice for the next X hunts!''<br/>
 
:''I should unequip my Sponge Charms and save them for later.''
 
  
After the hunts expire, the following message is displayed:
+
Oh, and don't forget to check out the Book of Living Recipes to find out all the incredible new things you can make out of these Garden Essences!
:''With the ground now dry, the Thirsty mice have retreated.''
 
  
===Adventure Book===
+
Perhaps much later, you'll find a cheese you can use to come back here and catch rare and powerful mice!
Hunters can [[Obtain a Rift Detector]] by crafting [[Dol Essence]]s and purchasing a [[Rift Detector]] from the [[Living Garden Cartographer]].
 
  
Hunters can complete steps to [[Defeat Twisted Carmine]] by catching [[Carmine the Apothecary]] with [[Duskshade Camembert]] to enter the [[Twisted Garden]].

The mice that live in this garden use the environment to their advantage, fashioning crude armour and weapons from plantlife in order to protect and hoard all the Garden Essences they can find.

Overview

Living 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.

Living Garden can only be traveled to when the Hunter's map is in Normal 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.

The Living Garden Sequence

In the Living Garden complex, the Hunter follows 6 main steps in sequence.
Step 1 and 3 can be done in Living Garden.

Step Location Cheese Used Loot To Obtain
1 Living Garden Standard Cheese Dewthief Petal Dewthief Camembert
2a Lost City Dewthief Camembert Dreamfluff Herbs Duskshade Camembert
2b Sand Dunes Dewthief Camembert Duskshade Petal
3 Living Garden Duskshade Camembert Access to Twisted World

5a Cursed City Graveblossom Camembert Plumepearl Herbs Lunaria Camembert
5b Sand Crypts Graveblossom Camembert Lunaria Petal
6 Twisted Garden Lunaria Camembert Living Chest Fel Essence
Gur Essence

Finishing collecting 20 Dewdrops generates a journal entry:

I've filled up on Dewdrops. Time to pour them out and start attracting Thirsty Mice!

Pouring generates a journal entry:

I poured out my collected Dewdrops, and started attracting some 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 Thirsty mice have retreated.

Heads-Up Display

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

  • Dewdrop Minigame
    • The number of Dewdrop is displayed.
    • There is a Pour button, which the Hunter can click to switch state to Poured.
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 X hunt!

Click Confirm to switch state

Mice

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

Only Hydro power type is effective against the mice here.

Standard Cheese can attract all mice except Carmine the Apothecary which requires Duskshade Camembert. Thirsty Mouse can only be attracted in Poured state.

Most mice here can drop Dewthief Petal which can be used to purchase Dewthief Camembert to hunt in Lost City and Sand Dunes.

Catching Carmine the Apothecary will transfer the Hunter to Twisted Garden and enable traveling to Cursed City and Sand Crypts.

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Hail, brave hunter!

You know, I spent so much time staring at this place, wondering what could be inside... Would it be exotic monsters, or crazed plants? But now that I'm here, all I really know is that something weird is going on!

If you watch carefully, you can observe tiny raids from other mouse tribes coming to the garden and stealing the Garden Essences that accumulate here. You can gather your own as well by trapping the mice that reside here, and then put them to use here in the Garden!

If you check the shop, you'll see that you can purchase Sponge Charms for Aleth Essences and use those to collect dewdrops. Collect enough dewdrops and you can cover the ground in moisture, attracting Thirsty Mice who drop even more and better Garden Essences!

While you're here, make sure to collect as many Dewthief Petals as you can - you'll need them to buy cheese to hunt with later on!

Oh, and don't forget to check out the Book of Living Recipes to find out all the incredible new things you can make out of these Garden Essences!

Perhaps much later, you'll find a cheese you can use to come back here and catch rare and powerful mice!
