Five Districts

⚠ Hedge corners and aphid waves

The tutorial district and the game's honest statement of intent: the hedge walls are collision-real, and the aphid waves flank. Learn max-range pokes here or pay for it everywhere else. The Bramble Hound gates Poppy.

⚠ Darkness, glass maze, lantern puzzle

The first wall for most players. Light the firefly lanterns low-to-high by humming pitch; the room hums when you stand still. The 1.0.1 hotfix fixed the reverse-order softlock. Shop here sells the Bramble Ring — bring 400 dew.

⚠ Vertical drops, poison water, darkness

The Garden turns downward. Falling costs HP unless you land on moss pads; poison water demands Marigold's cleanse or the Wellstone. Noctua waits at the bottom — you need any light-source relic to even see her prompt.

⚠ Moon-phase layout shifts, elite spawns

The slope reads the moon icon top-right and rebuilds itself: new moon opens stealth tunnels, full moon doubles dew but wakes the elites. The wilted deer (Marigold unlock) spawns only at half moon. The reflecting pool at full moon with no relics… steps out of itself.

⚠ Everything, stacked

The endgame district: three gauntlet rooms remixing every prior hazard, then the Bramble Queen. Buy everything before room 20 — there is no shop past the gate. The throne room has no humming; whatever the Garden wants to tell you, it has already said.
