How to Complete Chapter 1: A Fresh Start in Botany Manor

The Windmill Wort requires one thing in particular to really flourish: heat! And to ensure it has those perfect conditions, we’ll need to adjust the temperature of the conservatory. If you just want the solution, then place a planted Windmill Wort in front of the heat vent at 60 degrees Celsius. But if you want to know how to get to that solution, read on.

First, we’ll need to collect our three clues.

  • Clue 1: Wildflowers. Inspect the poster of flowers on the blackboard.
  • Clue 2: Temperature. Inspect the poster of ideal flower temperatures on the blackboard.
  • Clue 3: Postcard from Marianne. Examine the back of the postcard on the desk beside the heat vent.

By examining the Wildflower clue, we’ll learn that the Windmill Wort is a volcanic flower. We can then use the temperature clue beside the poster to determine the general temperature of the Windmill Wort might prefer. But we’re missing one key item — the city in which the Windmill Wort grows.

That’s where the postcard from Marianne comes into play. In this postcard, Marianne explicitly states that the Windmill Wort grows in Sicily. Now, we can check the temperature chart again and find that the Windmill Wort prefers its temperature to 60 degrees Celsius. Now, to put that information to use.

Go to the seed station in the back of the conservatory to get the Windmill Wort seeds. Next, use the soil in the pot. Then, take the seed from the seeds inventory and place it in the pot. Water the seed, and it’s ready to go. But don’t take the pot yet. Instead, turn right towards the copper heater.

You’ll see a dial thermometer which shows numbers in 10 number increments. We’ll need to move the red wheel to the right. Each time we do this, the arrow will move up by five degrees. Click the red wheel until it lands on 60.

Pick up the pot and then place it in front of the heat vent, beside the postcard. Interact with the heat vent to open it and the Windmill Wort will bloom!

There’s flower one. But next, you’ll have two new flowers on your plate: the Fulguria and the Ash Plume.
