The latest Living Part Two update in Grow A Garden introduces some exciting ways to grind rare rewards, especially the coveted hex serpents and Halloween gear boxes. After spending time testing the new systems, I’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to help fellow players optimize their gameplay, collect rare items, and make the most of the Halloween-themed events.

Understanding the Halloween Dig Event

The digging event in Grow A Garden revolves around uncovering treasures buried in the soil. Each treasure requires a certain number of digs, and at first glance, the process can feel frustratingly slow. For instance, some treasures require up to six digs, and your initial allotment may only allow for one or two. To continue digging efficiently, players need dig trinkets, which provide additional digs.

These dig trinkets are primarily obtained from Halloween gear boxes. While gear boxes can appear randomly from tasks like harvesting mutated plants or purchasing from the Halloween market, the most reliable method to farm them is through the Jacko’Lantern event.

Optimizing the Jacko’Lantern Event

The Jacko’Lantern event is arguably the best way to gather Halloween gear boxes. Here’s a strategy that has proven effective:

Plant Halloween Seeds: Acquire Halloween seeds from the spooky seed shop or digging rewards. Prioritize planting as many as possible in your garden to maximize future submissions.

Submit to Jacko’Lantern: Once your plants are fully grown, submit them to the Jacko’Lantern event. This yields multiple Halloween gear boxes and other valuable rewards like candy corns and rare seeds.

Repeat the Cycle: After collection, replant your seeds to submit again. Consistency is key; the more you repeat, the more dig trinkets you accumulate.

Using this method, I managed to collect dozens of Halloween gear boxes in a short period, which translated directly into additional dig trinkets for the digging event.

Efficient Digging Strategies

Knowing the shapes of treasures can dramatically improve your success rate in the digging event. There are four main shapes:

Coffin: Six tiles

Jacko’Lantern: Four tiles

Halloween Skull Container: Four tiles

Candle: Two tiles

Instead of starting at corners, aim for the center or middle areas of the digging grid. This increases the likelihood of uncovering treasures, as corner placements often reduce the number of potential matches. Additionally, separate your guesses to maximize coverage across the grid.

By combining shape recognition with strategically placed guesses, you can uncover rare items like mummy sand and Halloween gear boxes more efficiently.

Practical Tips for Players

Buy Grow A Garden pets using PayPal or card: Acquiring pets can speed up certain gameplay aspects, including garden growth and event rewards.

Focus on high-value Halloween plants: Prioritize plants like wisp flowers, zombie fruit, and mummy sand to maximize rewards during events.

Plan dig trinket usage: Always save your trinkets for high-value digging attempts to ensure the best return on investment.

Use U4GM if necessary: For players looking to supplement in-game resources quickly, U4GM can provide a safe and reliable option to acquire currency or items efficiently.

The combination of the Halloween digging event and the Jacko’Lantern event provides a unique opportunity to gather rare items and maximize rewards in Grow A Garden. By planting Halloween seeds, strategically submitting them, and applying efficient digging techniques, players can consistently secure high-value treasures. Focus on the middle grid placements, make smart use of dig trinkets, and don’t forget to leverage available resources like U4GM or in-game purchases to enhance your gameplay. With these strategies, even rare rewards like mummy sand and hex serpents become accessible with consistent effort.
