East Garden

You step into the East Garden from Soulforge with a simple shopping list: four blue key spheres for the gate you just left behind. The puzzles can be done in any order, and the statues beside them sell a hint for 10 gold, so no single one has to stop you.

Three alcoves sit in the north-west, each with its own riddle. Put bread into the one that talks about being made with fire and hands that feed the hungry. The riddle about life without sun wants a Moonpetal. The description of a red healing vial wants a minor healing potion. With all three filled, take the key from the altar nearby.

In the south-west you'll know the spot by its three fountains. The key comes straight off the altar there, but enemies are about, so don't walk in on half-empty potions. In the north-east lies the Test of Courage: approach the altar, beat the hostile statues and take the key once they're down. In the south-east, keep heading east to the frog king. Refuse his poke into your mind and he attacks along with the mushroom creatures around him; take the key after the fight. What happens if you let him do it we cannot confirm, so save before the conversation.

The west side of the garden opens into the underground link to the second garden. Check the four coffins and the altar down there: the letter on the altar hints at the order of the braziers, and the flowers beside them tell the colours apart. Light them green, red, orange, blue. The garden key you get unlocks the way into the West Garden. There is also talk of getting in through a blind corridor, but we cannot confirm the pattern that opens it, so rely on the key.

On the way you pass a room with four plates and a skeleton behind a gate. That's an optional detour: press the button and let the summoned skeleton follow you across all four plates to open the route to a chest. For the main route into the West Garden, come back and take the other path.
