The Venus Fly Trap, a familiar Mythic seed for those who played the original Grow a Garden, returns in Grow a Garden 2 with an enhanced role centered around the game's new stealing mechanics. While it does not directly contribute to in-game currency like other harvestable plants, its primary function is to protect your garden from other players during nighttime raids.
Obtaining the Venus Fly Trap
Acquiring the Venus Fly Trap seed in Grow a Garden 2 is exclusively possible through Sam's Seed Shop. However, this process is hindered by two major obstacles: cost and availability. The seed is priced at 7,000,000 Sheckles, making it an unattainable item for players in the early stages of the game who must first significantly increase their earning potential.
Furthermore, the Venus Fly Trap has a very low chance of being in stock during shop restocks, with only a 1.43 percent probability. This means that even with sufficient in-game currency, players may have to wait considerable time before the seed becomes available for purchase.
Defensive Capabilities
Unlike most seeds that are planted to harvest for profit, the Venus Fly Trap serves a purely defensive purpose. When an opposing player ventures too close to a planted Venus Fly Trap, the plant will attack, significantly reducing the attacker's health. This makes it a potent deterrent against garden theft.
Players should exercise caution when planting the Venus Fly Trap, as it can also target the owner if they get too near. Strategic placement is therefore crucial to ensure it defends the garden effectively without posing a threat to the player.
