The Secret Garden in Merge Dragons! is a unique and rewarding feature, but it’s not immediately obvious how to access it. Unlike standard levels or even regular secret levels, the Secret Garden isn’t a place you travel to on the World Map. Instead, it’s a type of secret fountain that appears in your camp. The key to “doing” the Secret Garden is to create it and understand its purpose. Here’s how you do it: you need to merge 3 or 5 Shimmer Fountains level 3 or above. These fountains aren’t commonly found, they’re usually obtained from either rare Kala trades when you give up a Ruins of the Sky Palace. The good news is, this trade has a 100% chance of a bonus, which contains another Secret Lifespring, accelerating your progress to your Secret Garden.
Once you’ve merged your Shimmer Fountains to create the Hidden Garden, it’ll appear in your camp. This special fountain is different from others because its primary function isn’t to produce water or other materials. Instead, it taps to produce a Blessed Bloom, and holds a limited stock of 1 Blessed Bloom. It will then recharge every so often. It’s important to understand that you are not actively “completing” a secret level here; instead, you are using a special item to help your game in other ways. The Secret Garden has one last special trick up its sleeve, too! When created, it spawns 3 Dryad Eggs.
Understanding the Secret Garden’s Purpose
The Secret Garden is different to a standard level, it isn’t about merging items on a map. Its purpose is to provide Blessed Blooms and Dryad Eggs, which are useful for completing other parts of the game. The Blessed Bloom is not currently mergeable or usable for any quest. But, it provides a bonus item you can use. However, those Dryad Eggs are useful, and once hatched the Dragons they bring can help you merge for Dragon Power. So, think of the Secret Garden as a bonus item and a gateway to other areas, rather than a game level in itself.
