How to Solve the Garden Riddle

You will encounter this riddle as part of the Do Not Go Gentle quest. For the quest, you need to find the missing Ulfe, who is found quite early in the questline. To get the Flowflower as part of the main questline is tricky. You need to help the angry Echoling with various tasks first, and one of them is to solve the garden riddle.
After clearing out all the weapons and rebuilding Echoling’s house, the final task is to help fix her garden. For this, you need to plant the flowers in the right order. There are no hints here, so the correct order from left to right is:
- Bluebell
- Tulip
- Gardenias
- Rose
Pick up each flower from the flower pots on the right and plant them in the large planter from left to right in the order mentioned above. Then, interact with the altar in front of the planter to complete the puzzle. If done correctly, the quest objective will change. Speak to the Echoling one final time to collect the Fire Blossom Flowflower.
