Grow Fulguria
The first step toward growing a Fulguria is locating itsseed packet, and it can be found on a chair at thebottom of the Grand Staircase. For full clarity, that room is just past the door on the right side of the Main Hall, and fans ofindie video gamesmay want to take a moment to examine the photographs that are sitting upon the nearby table.

To do this, fans ofeducational gamesshould collect theBack Terrace keyfrom thetable near the Drawing Room’s piano, and then use that object to open the door on the right side of the Screens Passage. Players should then use the stairs on the Back Terrace to descend into theRose Garden, and they will find the Ash Plume seed packet on a table in that area.
