Discovering Corrupted Mutations in Grow a Garden: A Guide
In the popular game Grow a Garden, players can now unlock a new and exciting mutation: the Corrupt Mutation. This mutation, introduced as part of the Corruption update, offers unique challenges and rewards for those who manage to obtain it.
The Corrupted Aura Weather Event
The Corrupt Mutation can be acquired through several methods, one of which is participating in the Corrupted Aura weather event. This event occurs every hour, lasting for 10 minutes. During this period, the sky turns red, and red balls of light shoot out from the corrupt area in the middle of the map, automatically applying the Corrupt mutation to plants in your garden. To maximize your chance of getting mutated plants, it's best to have many crops growing during this event, as the mutation is applied randomly to plants within the event radius.
Growing and Leveling the Corrupt Tree
Another way to get the Corrupt Mutation is by interacting with the Corrupt Channeller NPC, who can be found in the center of the island. The Channeller requests a specific fruit with a required mutation (commonly Tranquil) and size. By holding a crop that meets the Channeller's requirements and giving it to him, you earn Corruption points. These points grow the Corrupt Tree. The Corrupt Tree resets every hour, at which point it randomly applies Corrupt mutations to some fruits in your garden based on your accumulated Corruption Level.
Leveling the Corrupt Tree unlocks rewards such as the Corrupted Staff and Corrupted Mutation Spray. The Corrupted Staff can be wielded to apply the Corrupt mutation to plants within its radius specifically during the Corrupted Aura event, while the Corrupted Mutation Spray lets you apply the Corrupt mutation manually to a specific crop.
Obtaining the Corrupted Kodama Pet
As part of the rewards for leveling the Corrupt Tree, you can obtain the Corrupted Kodama pet. This pet helps increase your chances of receiving Corrupt mutations, accelerating the mutation process.
Using Special Items
In addition to the Corrupted Aura event, the Corrupted Staff, and the Corrupted Mutation Spray, players can also use the Corrupt Mutation Spray to manually apply the Corrupt mutation to a specific crop.
Tips for Efficiency
- Keep a large number of crops in your garden for more opportunities to mutate during Corrupted Aura events.
- Use the favorite feature on plants meeting the Channeller's requests to avoid accidentally selling them.
- Regularly check the Channeller's current crop/mutation request to give the correct crops and accumulate Corruption points quickly.
Remember, the Corrupt Mutation is a rare and valuable addition to your garden, but it's only available as part of the Corruption update. Once the next update rolls in, the Corrupt Mutation is unlikely to be available. So, start your quest to unlock this exciting mutation today and reap the rewards!
