Build Your Butterfly Garden Turtle Pet Guide

Where the Turtle Pet Comes From

Ocean Update Part 2 introduced the Turtle as a discovery reward inside Treasure Hunts. You will not buy it from the Plaza Shop. Complete hunt objectives, follow map clues, and claim the Turtle when the hunt finishes.

Full hunt mechanics are covered in our Treasure Hunts guide. For the patch overview, see the Ocean Update Part 2 event page.

How to Unlock the Turtle Step by Step

Launch Build Your Butterfly Garden and look for Treasure Hunt prompts or markers after the Ocean Update Part 2 loads. Follow each clue across your garden and shared map areas.

Finish every hunt step before leaving the session — progress may reset if you abandon mid-route. When the final chest or reward screen appears, claim the Turtle and open your pets menu to equip it.

• Confirm Ocean Update Part 2 content is live on your client
• Start an available Treasure Hunt from the map or Mailbox tips
• Complete every clue without skipping reward claims
• Equip the Turtle from the pets menu (one companion displays at a time)
