Sell Extra Materials to Upgrade Tools

Sell Extra Materials to Upgrade Tools

In Garden Story, you can only store single stacks of 15 materials/items in your storage box. You also have a limited inventory, which means you are faced with making tough decisions when it has reached maximum capacity. Make sure you sell all the unwanted items clogging up your inventory to vendors instead of dropping them, as the extra income allows you to upgrade your tools.

Fill your Healing Flasks with Dew

Keep an eye out for water taps whenever you explore a new village, as these can be used to quickly fill up your healing flasks with dew. Water taps are free to use and scattered throughout the world, and filling up your healing flasks will enable you to heal 2 HP when used. If before you enter the game's dungeons and the more challenging areas you realize the amount of free dew you have from the water taps is not enough you can visit a vendor which can be found in each village that sells dew capable of healing 4 HP which is more than enough, especially when you can upgrade the number of flasks you can carry at a given time.

You begin with one Memory slot and as you advance through the game you will eventually unlock a total of nine. Memory slots are typically unlocked when you kill a certain number of enemies, completing a set number of tasks, or experiencing something in the world. You will be able to see the challenges for locked memories while browsing the book.

How to Save

How to Save

There is no quicksave or auto-save feature in Garden Story. In order to save your progress, you must return to Concords home and sleep on your leaf pillow by pressing the Z key or the A button on your controller. When you save the game, you will not only retain your progress, but also advance the day. If you die while exploring, the game will save your progress and respawn you in your house, and advance you to the next day. It is important to remember though that dying is not an ideal saving option as you will also lose some Leaflets, which is the currency used in the game.
