How to cheat your way to the finish for the delicate flower quest.

[saul]

This should be on guides but I'll just put it here cause why not. Use a dream gate.

[Omegatherion]

This should not be in any guide because the flower breaks when you are teleporting.

[saul]

Yeah just figured that out, screw you. :>

[Desticler]

Trust me. They thought of everything.
Stags. Dream gate. Even save bench abuse.
It's not even that hard with correct charms.

[arceus03]

Just give it to Elderbug.

Actually, Dream Gate is kinda useful... for teleporting back to the Grey Mourner after you've broken one-of-a-kind flower... for the 30th time.

You really are dumb smh

That's what I did. Lol.

When you take the flower, your bench is automatically set to beside the mourner. If the flower breaks, all you have to do to get back there is reload the game.

[Playerjjjj]

Just plot out a route and kill most of the enemies along it, then accept the flower without resting at a bench. It's slow, but only the weakest enemies respawn. There's no rush.

Iirc, the tram system doesn't break the flower, but it's not all that useful considering that you can get from the Resting Grounds to the Crossroads through blue lake and that you'd have to be insane to use the lower tram as your route.

Yeah, but doing so respawns the enemies.. if you have plotted a route beforehand and killed all the enemies prior, using Dream Gate won't respawn them.

...except for those Aspids... and some jellyfish.

Ah, of course, fair point. But, if you did that, you shouldn't be dying anyway short of maybe choking on the final spike-platforming.

(Which I've never done, but I could totally imagine me doing it.)

Although, if you want to give a flower to the oldbug in town, it's also handy to have the warp so you can do the quest twice.

[L4z3r]

Typical Zote advice

PS, please make sure your Steam Level never increases. It really completes the look :)

[HexaDecimatoR]

The moment the Hidden Dreams content pack came out, you could use the Dreamgate to complete the quest. But a patch some time after that fixed it.

That is exactly what happened to me >.> It took me like five tries to do the damn quest... each time I made it all the way from the Mourner to the grave room just fine. Then screwed up the very first dash there. Repeatedly. DREAMGATE BACK

[Kronos]

Thing is, the quest isn't ever really hard. Select your path, set up a dreamgate at the mourner. After that, run through your path, clearing every enemy on the way. Once that's done, gate back, get the flower, follow the same path. Only minor threats will respawn, and all you have to worry about is platforming.

In two complete runs, I've only had to make the attempt 4 times, even when only doing this partway.

[Desticler]

Or just use Grubberfly's Elegy and a lot of minions; even feel free to overcharm since you can't take damage anyway.
With this, literally every enemy has no chance of even coming close to you (Unless the path you chose is ridiculous), and yeah. I only needed 3 tries, and other 2 tries failed because of the icicles in crossroads. Not because of enemies, but because of icicles.
