How to cheat at the delicate flower quest?
Note: not "how to make it easier" or "what route is best", how to ♥♥♥♥ing modify the game to represent any of: convincing the Grey Mourner that her lost love will accept a less fragile ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ charm; telling the Stag to walk more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slowly; using the Stagway map and just WALKING ALONG THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ STAGWAY YOURSELF; or stuffing the crystal in so much packaging that it can survive the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stagway; because the challenge of getting from A to B without fast travel or being hit is tedious and insulting.

I do not want to complete this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t challenge legitimately and I do not want to miss out on any content by refusing to do that. Any trainers or CheatEngine files to recommend?

There's a guide online for this quest that could help out. As long as you don't rest, the enemies won't respawn so you can clear out all the enemies before doing it. This quest really isn't that hard, except for maybe the thorns right at the end.
I don't know anything about cheats for this game though. So this is probably not the answer you're looking for.

Lmao if you want help in cheating then ♥♥♥♥ off

Clear out all the enemies along the route and don't rest at any benches until you're done. Most enemies won't respawn. There are also some routes online that aren't too bad.
I don't recommend cheating it because it's much less rewarding. But if you need it, I'm sure there are plenty of cheat engines that can make you invincible.

Do you even need cheats for that dude, you just have to walk through point A to B fighting simple and considerably ''early game'' enemies, you only get hit if you let them hit you, just be more careful than usual, you can literally walk from point A to B in less than 5 minutes, the monsters in the way are also one of the easiest in the games since they're very forgiving in their attacks pattern.

Not to be glib, but if your goal is to earn every achievement or see everything there is to see (I assume that's what you mean by missing out on content?), Solace is actually at the bottom of the difficult achievements.

This is actually an interesting point since the game doesn't give you an explanation for why you can't do this. Without the flower there's just no point, so in that case it makes sense not to have the option, but with the flower it actually becomes a good idea. Since making a bunch of stagways just for that quest isn't a good use of resources though, what I'd do to explain away that possibility is just put the quest on a time limit; that way you can just claim the stagways are too long to go through on foot before the quest ends, and therefore the option doesn't have to be available.

I would maybe change the reward though. Since you need four shards for a mask, having one shard locked behind that quest means three of your other rewards won't be useful until you do it, which probably really bothers people who can't. The problem is that most other rewards would just be... better. Like, a notch would be more standalone for example, but it would definitely be better than even a whole a mask. Maybe you could make it something more optional, like a charm? Dreamshield would kindof make sense given it's current location and flower-like appearance, but I guess that would mean you wouldn't be able to use it for the quest itself. Not that going through fog canyon with a dreamshield would be a good idea.

Also, starting the quest should have the effect of sitting down at a bench honestly. Killing everything in advance is a dumb exploit.

You are not wrong but after doing the quest myself today (regularely) I have to say even without clearing the path before it's not really difficult. The only reason I had to retry once was because I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the thorns right before the grave due to the charm that increases dash distance slightly.

You find like 3-4 enemies in total that are highly aggressive. Except for the mantis they are all easily dodgeable so you really just have to kill that one with the projectile and kill the other few without rushing into them.

edit: Actually I forgot about the "thorn shooters". Brings the number up to 6 or 7. Just clear them out with the projectile as well.

It may seem intimidating, but it's actually not that hard, I would even call it pretty easy. With a good route there are very few tricky spots along the way, and even then, the trickiest part will probably be the thorny path by the end.

I would recommend setting up a Dream Gate by the Grey Mourner, so that in case you fail you won't have to backtrack on foot to try again.

If you want, you could even do the route backwards first, clearing out all enemies on the way. Only a couple of them will respawn if you don't rest at a bench.

There is no reason to go fast. Take your time and play carefully, and you won't end up making dumb mistakes. Haste makes waste.

I think I only failed once, and in total it took me about 15 minutes to do the quest.

You could just use save backups and do it in segments... close enough to cheating anyway.

...As I think the first respondent said I was kinda stressed when I posted this.

It isn't that I consider the platforming challenge *hard*, it's that I consider it *tedious and insulting*. Which I suppose is partly because it's hard, but The Radiance was hard too and I enjoyed that enough to keep trying.

And there is every reason to go fast, I spend more than 12 hours a weekday between commuting and work so I do not have time with my laptop to take things slowly. Honestly I'm actually pretty satisfied that I miss nothing of value by cutting this POS quest out.
