The "Garden of Edith" scenario in Planet Coaster 2 starts off pleasantly, giving you a large park to personalize. But with this vast space comes significant challenges. While achieving the Bronze and Silver targets may seem straightforward, the Gold and Platinum objectives can be particularly tough.
The core difficulty in this scenario is that you’ll have zero income from the park. Money only comes in after you meet specific objectives, so you’ll need to carefully handle your finances. With ongoing expenses and a ticking clock, this scenario will put your abilities to the test. Are you ready for the challenge?
Garden of Edith Bronze Objectives
Given the sizable nature of the park in the Garden of Edith, it’s advisable to focus on a specific area rather than spreading out too much. Concentrating your layout can effectively enhance the prestige of your attractions. The main hurdle here is managing your finances, as you cannot earn income from the park or access loans.
Edith will provide a substantial sum after you complete all objectives of the same rank, so your strategy should revolve around acquiring cost-effective items. The Bronze objectives are not overly complicated; they mainly involve erecting a few rides and constructing a pool.
Build a Pool
Start by constructing the pool before tackling other tasks. The pool needs to reach at least 300 Pool Prestige. A moderately-sized pool will typically do the trick. Since you will also need to put in three flumes, be careful not to make the pool too small. Opting for blueprint pools like the Starter Pool or Huge Pool is a wise choice.
Larger pools usually yield more Prestige points. Enhancing the pool’s prestige can also be accomplished by incorporating scenery, wave machines, and water jets. Once you add your three flumes, reaching the required 300 Pool Prestige will be straightforward.
Have Three Flumes
Next, you need to add three flumes. For a tidy look, consider positioning the flume stations side by side to save space. Each flume needs a minimum of 250 Prestige. To achieve this, ensure that your flumes provide an enjoyable ride experience, aiming for high Excitement with low Fear and Nausea levels.
Adjust speed and length for optimal performance. Adding appealing scenery around your pool can help you obtain a near 100 percent scenery rating, boosting additional prestige. If you’re looking to skip custom builds, here are flume blueprints that meet or exceed the 250 Prestige requirement:
- Carve
- Plunge Bowl
- Outback
- Singularity
- Mat Race Lane
- Raft Trap
- Mat Master
- H2Bowl
Note: The Mat Race Lane blueprint includes three flumes, all satisfying the 250 Prestige requirement, making it a very convenient selection. Similarly, the Mat Master features four flumes, also exceeding the 250 threshold.
Have Two Flat Rides
This task is pretty simple—just construct two solid flat rides. You can utilize the three small grassy spaces near the park entrance, as larger structures might not fit well there. To stay within budget, opt for the most affordable custom flat rides available.
Increase Your Scenery Rating to Two
To raise your scenery rating to two, add visually appealing features throughout the park. If you want to save time on design work, using pre-made blueprints can effectively boost your scenery score. With the park’s size, be prepared to introduce a significant number of scenery elements.
Tip: Place them around your pool and flat rides to not only beautify the park but also elevate the prestige of those attractions.
Garden of Edith Silver Objectives
The Silver objectives are relatively easy. You’ll need to enhance your existing rides and introduce new attractions. Because the requirements aren’t very hard, completing all objectives should come naturally. Once you finish the Bronze objectives, you’ll earn $40,000.
However, you won’t generate any additional money until you fulfill all the Silver objectives, so focusing on reasonably priced items is key. Refrain from selling your flat rides, as future tasks will require them.
Have Two Pools
One objective involves constructing a total of two pools. Additionally, one of those pools needs to have at least 400 Pool Prestige. If your initial pool is sizeable with good surrounding scenery, it likely surpasses the 400 Prestige mark, meaning you don’t have to go excessively large with the second pool.
Have Four Flat Rides
For this objective, you need to expand your flat rides to include four in total. You likely constructed two flat rides while working on your Bronze objectives. Just build two more, ideally placing them near attractive scenery to boost their prestige. To keep your spending under control, purchase the least expensive custom flat rides.
Increase Your Ride Average Maintenance
This objective requires you to elevate your ride average maintenance above 80 percent. Make sure to have enough mechanics and respond promptly to maintenance alerts. This requirement is quite manageable and should be easily achievable.
Build a New Coaster
Finally, you’ll need to create and open a new coaster that meets certain criteria:
- At least two Excitement
- Less than five Fear
- Less than four Nausea
Keeping excitement levels high is essential, so avoid constructing a coaster that’s too fast or extreme. On the flip side, it also shouldn’t be too tame, as you want to maintain an enjoyable thrill level. Most pre-built blueprints will meet these conditions, so it may be easier to use a blueprint rather than to build one from scratch.
Note: Future goals will call for additional coasters, so it might be wise not to construct either a large or expensive one at this stage. The ‘Minder’ coaster is an excellent option that meets your needs.
Garden of Edith Gold Objectives
The Gold objectives ramp up the difficulty, revealing more of Betty Nana’s true nature. Upon completing the Silver tasks, you’ll receive $62,000. But now, you’ll need to focus on constructing two custom coasters and keeping your park clean, all while managing limited finances.
To simplify things, think about selling the first coaster you built for earlier objectives. You could also sell your secondary pool for some extra cash.
Build a New Coaster
One of the coasters you build must be a custom design due to its stringent requirements. Here are those conditions:
- At least four and a half Excitement
- At least two Fear
- At least five Inversions
While the five inversions might sound challenging, you can achieve this more easily than it seems. Start by ensuring that the custom coaster you’re designing has ‘Can Invert’ in its Overview. Constructing the coaster slightly elevated allows you to utilize compact inversion tracks like the Finnish Loop, saving space while hitting the inversion requirement.
By having five inversions, you will likely fulfill the excitement and fear requirements too.
Build Another New Coaster
Yes, another coaster is needed, but this time the requirements are less strict. This coaster must feature:
- A biggest drop of at least 50 meters
- A prestige score of at least 700
To accomplish this, place the station high up. Consider using coaster types like the Energy Coaster or Multiverse Coaster, which allow for drops of 60–70 meters. Incorporate a vertical drop to ensure excitement while maintaining comfort by monitoring G-Force values during testing.
Additionally, enhancing the coaster with scenery or special effects can help boost prestige to meet the 700 requirement.
Have Five Flat Rides
After the coaster tasks, this goal is straightforward. You probably have four flat rides from the Silver objectives. Simply add a fifth ride anywhere to fulfill this requirement. To control costs, choose the most affordable custom flat rides.
Reduce Total Vomit and Litter
This task is also simple. You need to reduce total vomit and litter to below 30. Make sure there are plenty of trash bins throughout your park. Hiring enough janitors will help maintain cleanliness. By taking these steps, keeping vomit and litter under control will be an easy objective to achieve.
Garden of Edith Platinum Objectives
Completing the Gold tasks earns you $45,000, but the upcoming objectives will be tougher. Thus, selling some previous assets may be beneficial. Consider selling the two coasters you created for the Gold objectives to free up cash.
Build a New Coaster
Yes, it’s time to build another coaster, but the requirements for this one are not overly tough. The coaster must be:
- At least 1,000 meters long
- At least five Excitement
To meet these criteria, avoid selecting an expensive coaster type. Focus on making long tracks to maximize length without overspending. Since the coaster also needs decent excitement, strive for a design that balances thrill and smoothness.
Incorporate long track pieces and elements like loops to enhance excitement. Use the park’s expansive area to create a coaster that showcases the landscape.
Have Seven Flat Rides
If you haven’t sold any of your flat rides, simply add two more to fulfill this requirement. Aim for flat rides that have high excitement and prestige, but be cautious with your budget, as you’ll need funds for other objectives. Position the new flat rides in well-decorated areas to further enhance their prestige.
Increase Your Scenery Rating
You’ll need to raise your park’s scenery rating to four and a half. Accomplishing this with custom designs might be tricky, so utilizing blueprints can save time. Keep in mind that with no income being generated, focus on reasonably priced scenery for effective rating boosts.
If you discover a cost-efficient blueprint that can enhance your rating, you can use it throughout your park to complete the task quickly. To avoid unexpected expenses, pause the game while placing scenery. Positioning scenery near rides can also increase their prestige and contribute to the overall park rating.
Increase Your Park Rating
Lastly, you need to increase your park rating to four and a half. It’s advisable to tackle the scenery rating objective first; this way, you can sell off costly elements if necessary to meet guest needs. Closely monitor your guests’ comfort and address any concerns, as this feedback can help raise your park rating.
If the park is expansive, consider selling extra trees, rocks, or other items that are far from guest attractions to generate funds. If you are in dire need of cash, selling coasters can also be an option.
Raising entry prices can help regulate guest lines and further enhance your park’s rating, as waiting guests without access to food or drinks can negatively affect the rating.
Note: There are plenty of trees and rocks available on the unused side of the park. Selling these can lead to a significant income boost. To maximize your profits from these sales, you can set the game difficulty to Easy.
