Reach the Rainbow Lotus in The Adventures of Elliot by starting in the Age of Safekeeping, following the Eastern Eder route, opening the sealed door, and crossing into the Western Marshlands.
To reach the Rainbow Lotus in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, you must be in the Age of Safekeeping: spawn at the Eastern Eder trailhead, head north-west, climb the marked building and have Faie light the fire to open the sealed door, then push west through to the Western Marshlands swamp where the Rainbow Lotus sits.
This one trips people up before they even start moving, because the same phrase gets searched against a completely different game. The route below is the on-screen path through Westerea, and along the way you can pick up two upgrades — an extra accessory slot and a movement-speed boost — that are worth the small detour. Get into the right Age first and the rest is a short, mostly straight-line trip.
Which game this is and what to unlock first
To be clear up front: this is The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, not the Roblox plant game Grow a Garden 2. There are no seed packs, no Sheckles, and no EXOTIC lotus variant involved here — the Rainbow Lotus is a dungeon area you walk to. If you’ve seen “Rainbow Lotus” content tied to gardening and rarity drops, that’s a different title entirely.
How to reach the Rainbow Lotus in The Adventures of Elliot
STEP 1/7
Spawn at the Eastern Eder trailhead
In the Age of Safekeeping, fast travel in and drop down at the Eastern Eder trailhead to start the route.
STEP 2/7
Head north-west
From the spawn point, take the path heading north-west across the area.
STEP 3/7
Grab the chest for 35 tool
A short way along there’s a chest up the slope that gives you 35 tool — an optional but easy pickup.
STEP 4/7
Climb on top of the building
This part is a little confusing, so look for the climbable building and work your way up to the top.
STEP 5/7
Have Faie light the fire
Use Faie to light the fire here, which opens the doorway and lets you pass through.
STEP 6/7
Clear into the next section
Going through the doorway clears you into the next section, where the two upgrades are.
STEP 7/7
Continue to the Rainbow Lotus
After grabbing the upgrades, make your way over to the Rainbow Lotus entrance in the Western Marshlands swamp.

Upgrades worth grabbing on the way
| Pickup | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Extra accessory slot (1 → 2) | Five-fight challenge in the section past the doorway | Lets you equip a second accessory — a major boost given how strong some are |
| Movement-speed / “fast move” upgrade | North of the challenge; charge-smash in with the hammer | Increases movement speed to bypass slow, sandy stretches |
| 35 tool chest | Up the slope shortly after heading north-west | A small early currency pickup on the way |
Just north of that, you can grab the movement-speed (“fast move”) upgrade. You’ll need to bring out the hammer and charge-smash to open the way in. It’s well worth the stop: the extra speed lets you skip past some of the more tedious stretches and makes the sandy areas far less annoying to cross. Both of these sit between you and the Lotus, so there’s no reason to leave them behind.
Don’t skip the movement-speed upgrade — bring out the hammer and charge-smash to reach it, since the faster move speed pays off across the rest of the game.
Inside the Rainbow Lotus dungeon
The on-screen route ends at the entrance, but players who’ve pushed deeper have mapped out what’s inside, so treat the layout below as community-documented rather than something you’ll confirm on this first walk. Stepping in unlocks Rainbow Lotus – First Level, and a chest in the northeast reportedly holds Enhanced Knock Back magicite. On the First Level itself, the documented path runs to the northwest, loops to a floor switch that opens the way to a 230T chest, then takes the north stairs down.
From there it splits across a Sublevel with two keys. Heading east and clearing suction walls with bombs leads to the Blue Rainbow Lotus Key, which opens the Blue Door — behind it is a big chest holding the Scythe Chain, reported to be the last weapon type. A separate run of switches and stairs leads to the Red Rainbow Lotus Key. There’s also a 120T chest noted just west of the Rainbow Lotus in this Age, if you’re sweeping for currency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rainbow Lotus in Grow a Garden 2 or in The Adventures of Elliot?
It’s in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. Despite the similar-sounding phrasing, this objective has nothing to do with Grow a Garden 2 — there are no seed packs or rarity-tier lotus plants. It’s a dungeon area you travel to on foot.
Which Age do I need to be in to reach the Rainbow Lotus?
The Age of Safekeeping. If you’re still in the Age of Reconstruction, you can’t take this route — switch Ages first, then spawn at the Eastern Eder trailhead.
Do I need the hammer and fast travel before I can get there?
Yes. You should have the hammer and fast travel unlocked beforehand. The hammer is required to charge-smash your way into the movement-speed upgrade, and fast travel gets you to the trailhead to begin with.
What do I get on the way to the Rainbow Lotus?
Two upgrades worth the detour: an extra accessory slot (going from one to two), earned by winning five fights in a row, and a movement-speed upgrade reached by charge-smashing in with the hammer. There’s also a small 35 tool chest early on.
Why is the Red Door / Innermost Area empty when I get there?
Players report the Innermost Area behind the Red Door has “nothing here yet” in the Age of Safekeeping, so it isn’t completable on this visit. It’s documented as content you return for later rather than a guarantee, so grab the keys and the Scythe Chain now and plan a follow-up trip.
