Hidden Gumball
To get the Sunflower gumball:
- Do not plant the Jack's Magic Bean that you receive on Floor 1. This can not be completed if you plant that seed.
- Collect 300 Black Thorn Seed. Can be dropped by plant-type enemies or purchased from Dave's Cottage
- Obtain Sunflower Seed and plant it. Obtainable from Boss floors beginning with 30F.
- Purchase 10 Sunlight from the Sunflower (for 30 Black Thorn Seed each) to obtain Sunflower Gumball or 20
. - You can also get some Sunlight from other sources like from Bunny's eggs but the ones created via Sunflower's own skill (if you have him in team) do not count.
- Once Sunflower is obtained, you can plant Jack's Magic Bean or another Sunflower Seed if you have one.
- You can repeat the process for fragments on later runs
Note: you can use the Sunlights as you purchase them, you don't need to stockpile them.
