How to grow the Wolfglove in Botany Manor

The most difficult flower to unravel in chapter three of Botany Manor is undoubtedly the Wolfglove. Here’s how to get the Wolfglove to blossom.

How to grow the Wolfglove in Botany Manor

The Wolfglove is challenging not just because of the conditions it needs, but because of how hard it is to make those conditions happen. But if you want the quick and easy solution, simply put the Wolfglove flower on the fourth floor of the tower in the orchard grounds, following the fifth test research instructions. For a more thorough explanation, read on.

First, we’ll need to collect seven clues.

• Clue 1: Letter from Builder. Found on the path up to the tower in the orchard.
• Clue 2: Tower Wind Research. Found on the table outside the orangery.
• Clue 3: Alpine Exploration. Found on the table outside the orangery.
• Clue 4: Letter about Alps. Found in the orangery, following the railing to the end.
• Clue 5: Envelope with Stamp. Found in the orangery, following the railing to the end, inside the bowl.
• Clue 6: Coin Collection. Found at the bottom of the orangery, on a side table.
• Clue 7: Nursery Rhyme. On a side table beside toys and a bench at the orchard entrance.

So we can gather quite a few clues before we even touch the Wolfglove seeds. It’s a good idea to do that before we fix the broken stairs. All the clues, except the nursery rhyme, will be either inside or outside of the orangery. The most important clues are clue 1, clue 2 clue 4, and clue 5. For now, pay close attention to clue 5, the envelope with the stamp. Memorize the ram image in the top right.

Once you’ve gathered all the clues in the orangery, grab the painting room key in the bowl beside the back terrace door. Then, open the back terrace door to permanently unlock this passage. Head back into the manor proper and turn immediately left to open the painting room. Examine the desk and you’ll learn two things: there are some straight weights in the kitchen and some information about religious symbolism. Before you leave the room, note the blueprint of the manor on the wall and the year the manor was made: 1593.

Head to the kitchen and examine the Religious Blessing on the wall. The last verse is the most important. It reads, “To those who serve the lord, who seek their sanctuary, remember the year of construction, for this, friends, is they key”. With this knowledge in hand, turn left and enter the side storage room off the kitchen.

You’ll find weights and a scale against the wall. Put the following weights on the scale:

This will create the year of construction, as we saw on the blueprints. The door will then slide open to reveal a hidden passage and sanctuary. This was a priest hole, and we can follow it to reach the bottom of the orangery. Now that you’re at the bottom, you can collect the Wolfglove seeds and find two clues. The most essential clue is the coin collection. Look at the collection to the left of the door you came through, then find the one with the ram that matches the stamp on the letter about the alps clue. Flip it over, and you’ll find that the ram represents Mount Weisshorn.

We can now go back to the top of the orangery and re-examine clue 2, Alpine Exploration, to see the Wolfglove’s preferred wind speed. That speed is 40f/s. With that in mind, look at the book just to right of the Alpine Exploration sheet to Tower Wind Research. The diagram that shows 40 f/s is test 5/6. Note the window placement.

• Floor 1 – Window half open.
• Floor 2 – Window closed.
• Floor 3 – Window open.
• Floor 4 – Window open.

With this in mind, pot your Wolfglove seed and take it to the old tower. Place it on the plate, then use the lever to move up and down the floor. Interact with the windows so that it follows the placement listed above. Fun fact, if you take the lift all the way to the top, you get a secret achievement. If you did the window placement correctly, the Wolfglove will bloom. Nice!
