👉 A Garden is a peaceful special room containing trees, herbs, and garden gnomes.
ℹ️ Description
A Garden is a unique GnollHack-specific special room designed as an indoor courtyard or arboretum. It is filled with trees and herbs, providing a natural respite from the dark dungeon. The garden is tended by garden gnomes, who can sometimes be found posing as statues.
🗺️ Generation
Gardens can be generated randomly as a special room. When a garden is generated, the room is populated with garden-variety trees and various herbs on the floor.
The room is also home to garden gnomes (G). Some of these gnomes may generate as statues wearing conical hats, blending in with the scenery until disturbed.
🏆 Strategy
- Foraging: The herbs and trees make gardens an excellent place to forage for rare ingredients or food.
- Statues: Be cautious when interacting with the gnome statues, as they might actually be living garden gnomes in disguise. However, statues can also contain useful items if you choose to break them.
- Line of Sight: The trees in the garden block line of sight and movement, providing natural cover against ranged attacks but also making navigation slightly more complicated.
