The Lich Crystal is one of the newest and most intriguing items added to Grow a Garden with the Harvest Reaper event. This mysterious crystal is more than just a collectible – it’s your key to unlocking the Lich pet, one of the most sought-after creatures in the latest update.
If you’ve come across this glowing crystal and wondered how it works or what those cryptic messages mean, this guide breaks it all down for you. Let’s go over how to get the Lich Crystal, where to find it, and how to complete its riddles to reveal the hidden Lich pet.
How to Get the Lich Crystal
Getting the Lich Crystal isn’t too complicated, but you’ll need a bit of patience and luck to snag one.
You can find the Lich Crystal at the Ghosty Gadgets stall inside the Spooky Market, which pops up for 15 minutes at the start of every in-game hour. When the market appears, check the Ghosty Gadgets vendor’s stock to see if the crystal is available. It’s not guaranteed every time, so you might need to visit the stall a few times before it shows up.
When it’s in stock, the Lich Crystal can be purchased with Candy Corn, the special event currency earned from Halloween activities throughout the Harvest Reaper event. That means you’ll want to farm plenty of Candy Corn before making the purchase.
Alternatively, you can buy it with Robux, but it’s smarter to wait until you’ve collected all the other required items first. Some of the later steps involve combining specific pets and cosmetics, so it’s better to save your Robux until you’re ready for the full process.
Tip: The Spooky Market restocks frequently, so if you don’t see the Lich Crystal right away, keep checking back at the top of each hour.
What the Lich Crystal Does
Once you finally have the crystal, you’ll probably notice something strange when you interact with it. Instead of giving a straightforward use prompt, it displays a mysterious message:
“The crystal hums faintly… perhaps a blind creature of the night could power the crystal.”
This is the first hint that the Lich Crystal isn’t just another tool or trinket. It’s actually part of a multi-step puzzle that players need to solve to unlock the Lich pet.
Each message you receive from the crystal acts as a riddle, hinting at a specific creature or item you’ll need to progress further. Unlike standard gear in Grow a Garden, the Lich Crystal connects to other elements within the Halloween event – making it one of the most interactive items in the game so far.
Lich Crystal Riddles Explained
The Lich Crystal puzzle is made up of five riddles in total. Each one points toward a different requirement, like a specific pet, an event drop, or a cosmetic item. You’ll need to figure out what each clue means and find the matching item to continue.
For example, the very first riddle – “a blind creature of the night” – likely refers to a bat-like pet, hinting that you’ll need one to activate the crystal. Solving this unlocks the next step and a new message.
Each subsequent riddle builds on the previous one, requiring items that can only be obtained through Ghoul Garden event activities. However, keep in mind that some of these items are chance-based drops, meaning you might need to replay certain activities multiple times to get them.
Completing all five riddles leads to the final reveal: the Lich pet, a shadowy new companion tied directly to the lore of the Harvest Reaper event.
Unlocking the Lich Pet
Once you’ve completed the riddles, the Lich Crystal will reward you with the Lich pet, an exclusive creature introduced in this seasonal update. The Lich is known for its eerie design – glowing eyes, spectral energy, and a haunting aura that perfectly fits the Halloween theme.
Even if you’re just collecting pets, this one’s a must-have thanks to its rarity and the effort required to obtain it. Solving the riddles makes it feel like you’ve truly earned something special.
Tips for Solving the Riddles Faster
If you want to make your puzzle-solving journey a little smoother, here are some quick tips:
- Farm Candy Corn early. You’ll need it for both the crystal and other event-related items.
- Check the Spooky Market often. The Ghosty Gadgets stall rotates its stock, so visit every hour when it opens.
- Trade with friends. Some drops can be difficult to get, so teaming up with others can save you time.
- Don’t rush the riddles. The fun part of this update is discovering how everything connects. Take time to enjoy the clues.
Final Thoughts
The Lich Crystal adds a fresh layer of mystery and excitement to Grow a Garden’s Halloween festivities. Instead of a simple “buy and use” item, it challenges players to think, explore, and piece together clues spread throughout the Harvest Reaper event. Completing all the riddles not only gives you one of the coolest pets in the game but also a genuine sense of accomplishment.
If you love puzzle-based events or just enjoy collecting unique pets, the Lich Crystal quest is definitely worth your time.
Good luck uncovering its secrets – and may the crystal’s whispers guide you to your very own Lich pet!
