Lich Crystal in Grow a Garden: What It Unlocks and How to Farm It Fast

If you are grinding Grow a Garden during this year’s Halloween event (Ghoul Garden 3), there’s a new shiny toy worth your Candy Corn: the Lich Crystal. It’s a limited-time, Divine-rarity piece of gear that looks like a purple shard with a deep violet glow, and it’s basically the key to summoning the Lich Pet. Here’s what it does, how to get it, and the exact steps to finish the ritual without guessing.

What the Lich Crystal actually does

The Lich Crystal is used in a summoning ritual to unlock the Lich Pet. The crystal alone doesn’t do it — you’ll also need a Bat, a Crow, a Scarab, a Spell Book, and two Halloween Candles. After you clear the ritual, the game asks you to combine the Bat, Crow, and Scarab to finalize the Lich Pet.

Heads up: you lose the pets you use in the ritual. The payoff is solid, though — the Lich buffs all Spooky-type plants and gives bonus XP to any Halloween-type pets hanging out nearby.

Where to find every ingredient

All the ritual pieces can be picked up during the Halloween Event, either as drops from the rotating Spooky Market items or by buying them directly when they’re up. Specifically:

- Bat: from the Spooky Egg
- Crow: from the Gravedigger mini-game
- Scarab: inside Spooky Chests
- Spell Book: at the Devilish Decor Stall
- Halloween Candles: in Spooky Crates (you need two)

How to actually trigger the ritual

This part is a little fussy, so do it in order. First, remove every animal from your garden. Place the Lich Crystal to kick off the first riddle. After you solve a riddle, you must place the crystal again to trigger the next one. Do that after each step until you have all five done.

• "The crystal hums faintly... perhaps a blind creature of the night could power the crystal."
  Solution: Place the Bat in your garden.

• "The crystal whispers... the crystal yearns for something clever - a dark-winged carrion".
  Solution: Place the Crow in your garden.

• "The crystal stirs... something ancient is missing - something of rebirth must crawl."
  Solution: Place the Scarab in your garden.

• "The crystal murmurs in a language unknown... perhaps an ancient book of spells could decipher its secrets."
  Solution: Place the Spell Book in your garden.

• "Flickers of embers are missing... the crystal yearns two candles to pierce the veil between worlds."
  Solution: Place two Halloween Candles in your garden.

Once all five are done (again, reset the crystal after each one), the game prompts you to combine the Bat, Crow, and Scarab to create the Lich Pet.

How to get the Lich Crystal

The Lich Crystal is sold in the Ghostly Gadget shop, which shows up as part of the Halloween Market. That market spawns every hour and sticks around for 15 minutes. The crystal costs either 60 Candy Corns or 499 Robux. It’s a limited-time item — once the event wraps, it’s gone.

If you’re playing the long game, use Candy Corns. You earn those by contributing crops to the Witch’s Cauldron or by handing Halloween Crops to the Jack-o-Lantern. If you’re worried about missing the window, yes, you can swipe it with Robux. Either way, when the Ghostly Gadget shop pops up, grab the crystal and you’re set.

Bottom line

If you want the Lich Pet, budget 60 Candy Corns, camp the hourly market window, and make sure you’ve got the Bat, Crow, Scarab, Spell Book, and two Halloween Candles ready. The ritual’s a bit picky about placement and resets, but the buffs are worth the sacrifice.
