Grow a Garden’s third Halloween update, Ghoul Garden Part 3, introduces the Harvest Reaper as its primary seasonal event. This mysterious NPC appears cloaked in a black hood while wielding an ominous Scythe, creating an atmospheric summoning ritual that rewards courageous participants with exclusive Halloween-themed items. This comprehensive guide covers everything from spawn mechanics to advanced optimization strategies for maximizing your rewards.

The Harvest Reaper NPC materializes naturally at the central lobby location precisely every 2 hours during the Grow a Garden Halloween Event. The lobby’s center area operates on a rotating schedule where the Harvest Reaper, the Witch, and the Dead Tree alternate appearances hourly. If you don’t immediately spot the Harvest Reaper upon arrival, consider rejoining the server or waiting patiently for the next rotation cycle.

  • The Harvest Reaper NPC arrives at the center of the lobby in Grow a Garden every 2 hours, replacing the Witch.
  • Players can submit 25 plants to the ritual plants to summon the Severed Spine.
  • Alongside the Severed Spine, players can also get the Spooky Chest and Candy Corn as a reward.

The ritual begins when you encounter the Harvest Reaper surrounded by 25 ceremonial plates, each initially burning with distinctive orange flames. These plates form a complete circle around the NPC, creating an immersive summoning environment. Understanding the mechanics behind each plate significantly improves your completion efficiency.

Follow this detailed procedure to successfully complete the summoning ceremony:

  • Approach each ritual plate individually to inspect its specific plant requirement
  • Retrieve the demanded plant from your inventory and equip it in your primary hand slot
  • Press the ‘E‘ key to initiate interaction with the plate, then select the Submit option from the dialogue menu
  • Successful submission transforms the plate’s flame color from orange to vibrant blue

Most ritual plates request common garden varieties like carrots, pumpkins, or Jack-o-Lanterns, though approximately 15-20% require mutated specimens with Spooky or Vamp attributes. Completing all 25 submissions and witnessing every flame transition to blue triggers the reward distribution sequence. For optimal preparation, consider cultivating multiple mutation variants of high-demand plants to streamline the submission process.

After successfully completing the summoning ritual, you’ll receive these valuable Halloween rewards for your contributions to the Harvest Reaper:

  • Spooky Chest (100% guaranteed)
  • Candy Corn (100% guaranteed)
  • Severed Spine seed
Spooky Chest Harvest Reaper Rewards

The Severed Spine seed represents a time-limited reward with an extremely restricted availability—only 500 units distributed per Harvest Reaper appearance. The inventory refreshes completely with each new spawn cycle, creating urgency for participants. The game interface displays warning messages penalizing players attempting to claim others’ contributions, ensuring fair distribution.

Strategic timing becomes crucial for securing the Severed Spine seed. Since spawns occur every 2 hours, plan your participation around less crowded server times to reduce competition. The ritual typically takes 8-12 minutes to complete with proper preparation, making efficient plant management essential for success.
