Covers the plants needed to complete each day at the bare minimum, plus where and when to acquire each plant for the fastest progression. This does NOT include every plant in the game, as some are 'extras' (not used for requests), only required for optional content, or only used in specific endings. Choices requiring different flowers are noted where relevant.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Open the settings menu and turn on the game's auto-labelling system. This will save you a LOT of time as you progress, as several flowers are used multiple times throughout the game.

If this is your first playthrough, I STRONGLY suggest using a different guide (or no guide at all) to start with. This guide, and this section in particular, is meant to progress the game's timeline as quickly as absolutely possible to achieve each unique ending. That means A LOT WILL BE SKIPPED, including a number of "optional" flowers, ID entries, and even some game mechanics that can only be skipped with advance knowledge of the game.

_______________________________________________________________________

IMPORTANT: You will receive a lot of mail throughout the game. OPEN IT. If you do not click to open every envelope, you may find your progress blocked without an obvious cause. The game is inconsistent with progress markers--some things can be skipped, some can't, and it doesn't always make sense as to why something is required. So open your mail!

Epilogue

If you killed Burbidge in the early game, you will have an officer show up to arrest you. You can give him either Carnivorous Torren (G28) or Fox Button, with unique and immediate results from each. This choice does not affect the rest of the story/Epilogue.

If you are only aiming to get all the endings, you can end here. Otherwise, you can complete one final puzzle to get the final plants and elixir of the game. Simone Green will also arrive and help you officially identify your remaining plants if you want to do so.

There are a total of 8 distinct endings, each determined by specific choices made over the game's 16 days. The choice combinations I have personally tested and the resulting endings are listed below.

This section should be used in combined reference with the previous sections to ensure the right choices are made for each ending. This section will provide a guide for when to save your game or start a new one to reduce redundancy/replay time.

SH has two save points--autosaves, where the game automatically saves your progress and decisions at the start and end of each day, and manual saves, which can be triggered by opening the settings panel and selecting the "Go to Menu." Manual saves record your progress immediately after the last completed task/request (travelling, filling a customer request, etc).

The following is meant only to indicate the best times/places to trigger a manual save or reload your progress when trying to reach all endings.

The order of endings completed will be: I, III, VI, VIII, II, IV, V, VII



1. Start New Game.

2. Play through the game as desired until the choice on Day 4. At the choice, give Faye Swift Candlewood.

3. Continue playing until Day 6. After being prompted, travel and place the St. John's Poppy flower to join the cultists.

4. Continue playing until the Day 12 choice, then give Forrest Vair the Lesser Merrydock.

5. On Day 13, give Simone the Lisle of Neptune flower.

6. Continue playing until the choice appears on Day 15. MANUAL SAVE HERE.

7. Give the woman in the mask Widow's Woe. Your game will auto-save at the start of Day 16.

8. Complete Ending I. Once the Epilogue loads, feel free to read through and then exit to the game's main menu and choose Load Game. Reload the save at the start of Day 16.

9. Complete Ending III. Reload Day 16 again.

10. Complete Ending VI. Reload Day 16 again.

11. Complete Ending VIII. Reload your manual save from Day 15. If something went wrong with forcing a manual save, you can also load from the start of Day 15, but will need to play until the decision is presented.

12. Give the masked woman Dead Man's Fingers. Continue on to Day 16. A new Day 16 save should be created automatically.

13. Complete Ending II. Reload the new Day 16 save.

14. Complete Ending IV. Reload Day 16.

15. Complete Ending V. Reload.

16. Complete Ending VII. This is the final ending.

**Note that there are some choices not addressed in this section (such as Burbidge) and some which have fixed choice answers. Giving different flowers for each of these choices will have a small influence on the story you see (who lives/dies, etc) but does either does not affect the ending (for those not addressed) or would lock you out of a specific ending, resulting in more backtracking or a second playthrough.
