Gleaner Heights Season 2 Help

Having trouble with the DLC? I've gathered helpful info for you.

All Hell Breaks Loose

During Season 2 content, a wizard named Celsus shows up in the night talking about an earthquake to come. He’ll ask for the protagonist to retrieve a grimoire. Next, a witch named Tristana will ask for the grimoire to destroy it. (I think the only difference between who you pick is that maybe you can’t get the perk “Ritual: Endrance” from Tristana if you don’t pick her? Didn’t test this out.)

The cave that opens after the earthquake is located to the west of the protagonist’s farm. Go north, but not up the stairs. There are a bunch of worm enemies near it.

During the burning of GH, fight demons, then enter the church.

Rift List

(Suggestion: Go to portals at the beginning of a day, that way if you f*ck up a puzzle or die, you can load the save and not lose a bunch of progress)

• Underground cave behind gravestone on protagonist’s farm

General Info

- Once you return to the other world through the portal, go to the west, past the house of the person that gave you the wand of Ze, then keep going until you find a merchant named Diosophus. He upgrades tools and sells valuable crafting items.

- Valpurite are obtained by defeating bosses in the other world or occasionally found in chests in rift dungeons.

- If you see square platforms with an empty post next to them, put a Diode Shard onto the post and it activates the platform as a teleporter. Very useful for getting around.

- To dig in the desert, you need an upgraded hoe. Items to find there: money, Diode Shards, various ore, gems, healing items, a Shadow Plum, bombs, skeleton enemies, and berserker pants.

- While fighting Grimaldi, attack the heart that pops out of the ruby to deal damage to it.

- Use the fishing rod to fish out an anchor from the small pond, then attach it to the lady statue in order to fight Abraham.

- Power strike Gollus (I used the hammer) to make a red spot appear, then attack it to deal damage.

- Inside the catacombs, you’ll come across a pressure plate and a lever with a barrier in between. The barrier prevents arrows from reaching the lever. You gotta place the bomb at the area where the lever pops up, then run back over to the pressure plate so that the lever is elevated when the bomb goes off.


- When Mainframe has a red face and launches missiles, run over to one of the computers on either side and interact with it. Win the platforming mini-game, then deal damage by hitting the newly exposed circuitry on the front of the boss.

- “Who do you fear most?” Type your character’s name.

- You need a pineapple for Aghariphus when he asks if you’re one. Last tier seed for summer crops.

- The rift with one bell needs to be hit with: hammer, sickle, hoe (as depicted on the walls).

- 3 Riddles: gold ore (silence), apple (fall of man), & boar hide (clothes)


- To outrun the bird, I used swiftskin boots and berserker pants (so no flinching from flame traps).

- For the five bells, bring something of little value with you. I used 5 fodder. Just throw some on the floor so you know which bells have already been rung, since the rooms look identical.

Feel Free to Contribute!

This is incomplete, because I didn't test every single thing about the DLC. If you've got info you'd like to add, comment and I'll give credit in the guide. I don't have any of the marriage quests on here because I didn't have the patience to go through all those, but if someone wants to add that info, that'd be cool.

@Unecumenical Noble I just started updating the massive, fan-kept spreadsheet with Season 2 data since there's very little out there. I'm only on Y2 Sp6 as of this writing but I'm slowly trying to fill it in:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uFTcBK2cVYLOszrswMVP5J6xBdkTl3VkgOLaJnLBqME/edit#gid=0

This absolutely is not my work. I'm just trying to contribute to make it more complete. Chip in if you want!

[Unecumenical Noble]

There's so little info on Season 2 so here's a couple of my discoveries.

One is do NOT breed pigs under the current version 1.0.21. They do NOT seem to grow up and there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of baby pigs. Selling them or sending them to the slaughterhouse won't work and one of your animal slots will continuously be wasted. Buy adult pigs directly from Bernadette.

Second tip is Chadette likes strawberries or anything made exclusively from it. (juice, jam...etc.) And loves golden eggs.

[h2ayley]

will you still be able to access the rifts once you defeat the nightmare? I ask because I will most certainly have enough diode keys before i am able to upgrade all of my tools and am wondering if i wont be able to upgrade them once i defeat it.

[SkadiSilbrigmond]

Yep, it's third grade summer crops (you need to sell 150 of second grade crops first, for which you have to sell 100 of first grade...and so on and so on...) There is no other way to my knowledge, no random drop or anything.

[Ceaseless Duality]

That info can be found in a guide for the base game. I just remember it being a last tier seed. I think summer?

[Teasquan]

Thank you guys, again! So sorry to keep asking questions... Do you know where to get Pineapple?

[SkadiSilbrigmond]

Using dynamite will break the ice (bomb is not enough), but you will also get a sin

[Ceaseless Duality]

Does it not give an option to release it? I don't remember. I *think* it might be a bomb or dynamite that frees it.

[Teasquan]

Hey, sorry to bother you again only person I have to ask....
After the Crab Boss rift there's another rift underwater cave, do you know to beat it?
Thanks.
Its a blue painting/ice and theres another npc saying to not awoken this creature cause its very dangerous.

[Ceaseless Duality]

It's okay. I think the only reason those gates are there is to prevent the player from going to those areas until after the scenes with ?????. They don't seem to be for any other purpose, so I tend to forget about them.
