![]() Enemies that roam around at night are also more aggressive than those seen during the day. Some locations and shops are open during specific periods of the day, and a few characters can only be found or interacted with at set times too. Journey at Your Own PaceĪ day in the Grove is split into five time frames, namely morning, day, evening, night, and after dark. With that in mind, let’s look at Concord’s adventure in greater detail. So, even though there are several non-combat things to do in Garden Story, one should not expect the focus on combat to be minimal. For instance, if Concord was in the midst of pulling a resource from the water when a nearby enemy injures them, they will lose their grip on the line and have to recast it. It is possible to avoid fighting these enemies by running or rolling past them, though there are times when clearing them is necessary as they can interrupt Concord’s activity. Although the main boss battles cannot be skipped and the difficulty level is fixed, Garden Story has a “perish prevention” mode where Concord’s health points (HP) will never drop below one.īoss battles aside, regular enemies will be encountered in several areas of every town that has been touched by the Rot. Action, therefore, forms a significant component of this game. But before they can move on to the next town, Concord has to first vanquish the boss enemy of the current town. Their journey starts from Spring Hamlet and the main questline will bring them to three other towns in sequence according to the seasons: Summer Bar, Autumn Town, Winter Glade. Initially acting as a gardener taking care of the vine inside the Kindergarden, Concord is soon appointed as a Guardian to help with the increasingly dire situation happening around the Grove caused by the aggressive Rot.
