Grand Garden Hard

*This article is a stub. You can help Evades.io Wiki by expanding it.*

Grand Garden Hard was added on the April 24th 2022 update along with Grand Garden, Peculiar Pyramid Hard, and Ominous Occult Hard. Like Grand Garden, it has 28 areas. After defeating **Grand Garden Hard**, the player unlocks Viola and is rewarded with 5 VP. Afterwards, only the 5 VP is given.

## Strategies

* The "Ignis Chain" strategy was effective and popular until **12-25-22** Update. Now Ignis can't revive other Ignis heroes while Ember is active.

Below are the steps to this strategy.

Preparation:

1. Gather a team of **at least** 3 Ignis players (for convenience's sake, we will call them players A, B, and C).
2. Farm courses (such as Burning Bunker and Peculiar Pyramid) to gain a total of 29 upgrade points per player, or preferably at least 21 upgrade points.
3. Spend 5 points on Ignis' Ember skill to fully upgrade it, and the rest 24 points on speed to achieve the maximum speed limit (17 speed).
4. Teleport to the **Grand Garden Hard** course - the teleporter is on the left of Grand Garden Area 1.

Execution:

1. Player A should head to the middle of the area. Since Ignis' Ember skill delays downing by 3 seconds, it allows players to move to the center of the map as long as they are fast enough (at least speed level 13).
2. Next, player B moves to player A's position and revives them, while player B becomes downed. Player A then moves to the end of the course. It does not matter if player A becomes downed after reaching the safe zone at the end of the area.
3. Then, player C moves to player B's position and revives them. They both head to the other side and revive player A if player A is downed. It is important that players B and C do not die before reaching the safe zone, because all 3 players may die otherwise.
4. All three players move to the next area.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 until all three players reach the Victory! zone.

(Note: For relatively experienced players, it is not necessary to use the strategy for easier areas, such as 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 15, 16, and 22.)

## Trivia

* Although the titles of the areas don't mention it, Boss Areas occur at Areas 7, 14, 21, and 28.
