The Lich is one of the most coveted pets in the Roblox game “Grow a Garden,” and for good reason. This incredibly rare divine-tier pet was introduced during the third phase of the Halloween Event and stands out as the only pet that requires a special summoning ritual rather than traditional unlocking methods. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining this powerful undead companion.
Step-by-Step Guide: Summoning the Lich
Unlike every other pet in Grow a Garden, you can’t hatch, purchase, or find the Lich through normal means. Instead, you must perform a specific summoning ritual that fuses three existing pets together. Here’s exactly how to do it:
Required Items (Gather These First)
Before attempting the ritual, you’ll need to collect:
- Three Specific Pets:
- One Bat pet
- One Scarab pet
- One Crow pet
- Three Cosmetic Items:
- One Spellbook cosmetic
- Two Halloween Candle cosmetics
- One Crystal (the fusion item that triggers the transformation)
Obtaining the Required Pets
The Bat is typically one of the easier Halloween pets to obtain. It usually comes from Halloween-themed eggs or can be purchased during the event period. Focus on getting this one first since it’s the most accessible.
The Scarab might require more effort depending on the event mechanics. Check Halloween egg pools, complete event quests, or trade with other players if you’re having difficulty finding one.
The Crow rounds out the trio and is generally available through similar Halloween event channels. Some players report getting Crows from specific event activities or milestone rewards.
Getting the Cosmetics
The Spellbook cosmetic is a crucial component of the ritual setup. This item typically appears in the Halloween event shop or can be earned through completing certain spooky-themed challenges.
Halloween Candles (you need two) are usually more common cosmetic items available during the Halloween season. Check the event shop, daily login rewards, or achievement prizes.
How to Get Candle in Grow a Garden (GaG)
You can get the Candle in Grow a Garden by exploring spooky or dark areas of the map, searching treasure chests, and checking seasonal event rewards. Candles also appear near pumpkins, tables, and graves, especially during Halloween updates. Keep exploring different spots, as they respawn over time.
Performing the Summoning Ritual
Once you’ve gathered everything, follow these steps precisely:
Step 1: Place your three pets—the Bat, Scarab, and Crow—in your garden. Their exact positions relative to each other may matter, so experiment with placing them close together if the ritual doesn’t work initially.
Step 2: Position the Spellbook cosmetic in a central location near your three pets. This acts as the focal point for the ritual.
Step 3: Place one Halloween Candle on each side of the Spellbook, creating a symmetrical arrangement. The setup should look ritualistic—candles flanking the spellbook with your three pets nearby.
Step 4: With everything properly arranged, use your Crystal item. This should trigger a special interaction menu.
Step 5: When prompted, confirm that you want to fuse your Crow, Bat, and Scarab pets together. This is permanent—once fused, you cannot get those individual pets back.
Step 6: Watch as the ritual completes and your three pets merge into the powerful Lich!
Important Considerations Before Summoning
This fusion is permanent and irreversible. Your Bat, Crow, and Scarab will be consumed in the process. Make sure you’re absolutely ready to sacrifice these three pets before proceeding.
Event timing matters. Since the Lich was added during a Halloween Event, all required items are likely only available during Halloween periods. If you’re reading this outside of October, you may need to wait for the next Halloween Event to gather the necessary components.
Consider duplicates. If you want to keep the individual pets for collection purposes, try to obtain duplicate Bats, Crows, and Scarabs before performing the fusion.
The Lich’s Powerful Abilities
What really sets the Lich apart are its two exceptional traits that significantly boost your gardening operation:
Spooky Lich Trait: This ability creates a supernatural zone of enhancement around your pet. Any spooky-type plants growing within roughly 32 studs of the Lich receive remarkable bonuses—they grow 50% faster than normal, have increased chances of producing rare variants, and develop with a size bonus. If you’re serious about cultivating Halloween or spooky-themed crops, the Lich becomes an absolute game-changer.
Dread Lord Trait: This passive ability benefits your entire Halloween pet collection. Every Halloween-themed pet you own actively gains bonus experience at a rate of 1.5 XP per second. This might not sound like much initially, but over hours and days of gameplay, this compounds into massive experience gains that help level up your entire spooky pet roster automatically.
What Makes This Pet Historic
The Lich holds a unique place in Grow a Garden history as the very first pet that can only be obtained through a special gear-based ritual rather than traditional methods like hatching eggs or shop purchases. This precedent may hint at future pets requiring similar complex unlocking mechanisms.
Interestingly, the Lich ties with the Tiger and Dragonfly pets for having the highest hunger requirement in the game at 100,000 hunger points. Make sure you’re prepared to feed this hungry undead creature regularly to keep it active and providing its powerful bonuses.
Maximizing Your Lich’s Potential
Once you’ve successfully summoned the Lich, position it strategically in your garden:
Create a spooky plant zone within 32 studs of the Lich to maximize the Spooky Lich trait benefits. Concentrate all your Halloween and spooky-themed crops in this area for optimal growth speed and variant chances.
Collect multiple Halloween pets to benefit from the Dread Lord trait. The more Halloween pets you own, the more total bonus experience you’re gaining passively every second.
Keep it well-fed. With 100,000 hunger points, the Lich has substantial feeding requirements. Stock up on food to ensure it stays active.
How to Get the Lich Crystal in GaG
The Lich Crystal (also called just “Crystal”) is the essential fusion item you need to complete the Lich summoning ritual in Roblox’s Grow a Garden. Without this crystal, you cannot transform your Bat, Crow, and Scarab pets into the powerful Lich, even if you have everything else ready.
What is the Lich Crystal?
The Lich Crystal is a special consumable item that acts as the catalyst for the pet fusion process. When you use it with the proper ritual setup (three specific pets plus cosmetics arranged correctly), it triggers the transformation that creates the Lich pet.
How to Obtain the Lich Crystal
Method 1: Halloween Event Shop
The most common way to get the Lich Crystal is through the Halloween Event shop. During the third part of the Halloween Event (when the Lich was released), the crystal becomes available for purchase using event currency.
Steps:
- Participate in Halloween Event activities
- Collect event currency (typically Halloween tokens, candy, or similar themed currency)
- Visit the event shop when it’s open
- Purchase the Lich Crystal with your accumulated event currency
The crystal usually costs a significant amount of event currency, so expect to grind event activities for a while before you can afford it.
Method 2: Event Quests and Milestones
Some players report obtaining the Lich Crystal as a reward for completing specific Halloween questlines or reaching certain event milestones.
Look for:
- Special “Summoning Ritual” questlines
- High-tier Halloween achievement rewards
- Milestone prizes for collecting certain amounts of event items
- Boss completion rewards from Halloween-themed challenges
Method 3: Event Passes or Premium Purchases
If available, some Halloween Events offer the Lich Crystal through:
- Premium event passes (purchasable with Robux)
- Special bundles that include fusion items
- VIP rewards for game pass holders
Check the Robux shop during the Halloween Event to see if any paid shortcuts are available.
Method 4: Trading
If you missed the event or can’t find the crystal through normal means:
- Trade with other players who have extra crystals
- Check trading servers and Discord communities
- Be prepared to offer valuable items, pets, or in-game currency
Warning: Crystals are typically quite rare and expensive in trades since they’re essential for getting the highly sought-after Lich pet.
