Grow A Garden Ghoul Garden Part 3 Update – Harvest Reaper

The long-awaited Ghoul Garden Part 3 Update has dropped in Grow a Garden, bringing the Harvest Reaper Ritual, new spooky pets, limited-time seeds, and several shop changes to wrap up the Halloween season.
This guide covers everything added in the update — from how to summon the Reaper and earn the Severed Spine to the new pets, seeds, and crafting secrets you won’t want to miss.

1. The Harvest Reaper Ritual — Main Event

The Reaper is the central figure of this Halloween update. You’ll find him spawning periodically on your map, surrounded by summoning bowls that require specific plants.

How It Works:

Talk to the Reaper NPC to view his current demands.
Submit plants or crops into the summoning bowls (for example, carrots, pumpkins, etc.).
Each submission grants candy corn and minor rewards.
Completing all bowls before the timer runs out earns you a major reward.

Ritual Reward Types

Type	Description
Summoning Bowl Rewards	Small candy corn drops for each bowl filled
Secondary Rewards	Earned after completing all bowls (random items like chests or eggs)
Limited Reward	The Severed Spine Seed, available only while stocks last

The Severed Spine Seed is the exclusive limited reward of this event.
Only 25,000 seeds are distributed per spawn cycle — after that, you’ll need to wait 2 hours for the Reaper to restock.

Tip: Join populated servers when the Reaper appears to improve your chance of completing submissions faster before stock runs out.

2. The Severed Spine Seed

The Severed Spine is a brand-new limited plant obtained from the Reaper Ritual.

Details:

Type: Prismatic (Limited)
Stock: 25,000 per Reaper appearance
Sell Value: Around 170,000–190,000 Shekels for 11kg size
Comparison: Slightly below Boone Blossom but close to Crimson Thorn in value.

How to Get:

Complete all bowls during a Reaper spawn cycle.
Must be within the top 25,000 submissions globally during that cycle.
If you miss the window, wait 2 hours for the next Reaper appearance.

3. Updated Quest Rotations

The Witch and Dead Tree Quests

These two quests now rotate together, allowing players to do both simultaneously.
The Reaper despawns when they’re active, then returns afterward.
The Gravedigger quest remains unchanged.

This system keeps events rotating without overlap while giving more consistent quest opportunities.

4. New Items and Shop Updates

Several small but meaningful updates hit the in-game shops:

A. Spooky Stalls

New decorative props like sarcophagus, skull chains, spell books, and spider props.
No new gear directly added here.

B. Creepy Critters Shop

No new pets were added to this category.

C. Spooky Seeds Shop

Introduced the Spooky Chest, containing 3 new pets and 3 new seeds (explained below).

D. Ghostly Gadgets

Now features the Lich Crystal, a rare crafting item used to unlock the Lich Pet.
It’s extremely rare to appear in stock, so check back frequently.

5. New Pets (Four Total)

There are four new pets in this update — three from the Spooky Chest and one secret Divine pet obtained via crafting.

Pet	Type	Rarity	How to Obtain	Ability
Scarab	Spooky	Common	Spooky Chest	Increases growth size of nearby spooky plants by 0.38x (within 32 studs).
Tomb Marmmont	Halloween	Rare	Spooky Chest	Every 5 min hides in a tombstone, granting a random graveyard cosmetic.
Mummy	Divine	Rare	Spooky Chest	Adds +0.1–0.3kg base weight to pets obtained from chests; also turns a nearby plant gold for 30 sec every 22 min.
Lich	Divine	Legendary	Crafted with Lich Crystal	Boosts spooky plants (variant +0.6–1.5x, growth speed +1.5x, size +0.48x); also grants all active Halloween pets +1.4 XP/sec.

6. How to Get the Lich Pet

The Lich is not directly pulled from chests — you must craft it using a Lich Crystal.

Steps to Obtain:

Buy a Lich Crystal from the Ghostly Gadgets shop. (It rarely appears in stock.)
Hold the crystal and interact with three specific pets in order:
- Bat → Crow → Scarab
The three pets will be consumed, and the Lich Pet will spawn.

If done correctly, you’ll receive your Divine Lich, one of the most powerful pets in the game for spooky setups.

7. New Plants (3 from Chest + 1 Ritual)

Plant	Rarity	Description	Sell Value
Ghost Bush	Common	Cotton-like plant; basic spooky crop.	~40,000 shekels
Devil Root	Rare	Fork-shaped root plant with fiery aesthetic.	~67,000–70,000 shekels
Wear Plant	Divine (1% chance)	Giant Godzilla-like plant with eyes and ears; visually stunning.	Unknown (High value)
Severed Spine	Limited	Obtained via Reaper Ritual; spooky vine-like plant.	~170,000–190,000 shekels

8. Gear & Shop Changes

Gear Shop Revamp

The Gear Shop received a complete visual overhaul.
All former Egg Store Tier 2 items (like Pet Lead and Name Tag) have been moved here.
The Egg Store now only carries base-tier items.

9. Returning Items & Timers

The Great Pumpkin Seed remains available for another week.
The Reaper Ritual refreshes every 2 hours — limited stock restocks each cycle.

The Ghoul Garden Part 3 Update concludes the Halloween season with a mix of rarity, teamwork, and grind-heavy progression. The Reaper Ritual adds a thrilling limited-stock system, while the Lich Pet introduces one of the strongest buffing effects yet. Even with minimal new seeds, the overall design deepens the spooky collection and builds anticipation for future expansions.
