Forever Ago petal spots
Gather a local petal trail, then photograph the raised memory to reveal its vignette. Start with the reported locations below; use the chapter sweep table for areas whose exact petal positions are not established.
How to finish a local petal spot
- Follow the visible trail and inspect the local petals before advancing the main objective.
- When the petals rise, aim the camera at the memory and let the vignette finish.
- Steam confirms the one-vignette and all-vignette goals but publishes no exact total.
- Log the chapter, landmark and completed scene yourself. Do not assume a story flashback or ordinary flower counted as an optional vignette.
Concrete locations reported by players
| Chapter | Landmark and approach | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| 2: Pump mart | Uphill left of the gas station, near the ceramic pumpkin | Player-reported petal vignette; not the home-pumpkin achievement |
| 2: Pump mart | Small park / playground right of the gas station | Player-reported second early spot |
| 3: Motel / diner | Cross the motel courtyard toward the pool on the right. Inspect petals at the pool steps and poolside; photograph the raised cluster across the pool. | Player route describes the resulting memory; not a chapter-total claim |
The contributor initially called the pool the first vignette, then corrected the guide to include both earlier gas-station spots. The revised sequence is used here.
Search checklist for all nine chapters
| Chapter / region | Action before advancing | What is established |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Falls | Check the room before the window portrait, then the flower / sign stops on the falls walk before the final portrait | Guide landmarks and inspection advice; no optional petal spawn asserted |
| 2: Gas station | Check the uphill pumpkin side and right-hand playground before departure | Two concrete player-reported locations above |
| 3: Motel courtyard | Complete the pool sweep before the diner route carries you onward | Concrete pool route above; not every diner vignette |
| 4: Roadside breakdown | Use the van’s rear, hood and right-hand cabin inspections as a local sweep; then check the reachable road to the phone booth | Guide route, not proof of a roadside petal; no repair-tool detour claimed |
| 5: House, garden, fields | Sweep the house before leaving; check the garden / refill faucet area before repair completion, then the field walk before the group portrait | Guide landmarks; inspection recommendation, not asserted petal spawns |
| 6: Resort and island | Check accessible galley, arcade and souvenir-shop surroundings after obtaining cutters; sweep the dock before boarding and the island’s tree approach while there | Guide landmarks and action order; no complete resort petal map claimed |
| 7: Lighthouse trail | Check the path around Charles’s camera stop, the fetch stretch and the entrance sign before photographing the tower | Guide landmarks; tower photo is a story trigger, not automatically a petal spot |
| 8: Snow and peak | Stay on the reachable snow-track route; inspect visible nearby prompts before the summit transition instead of searching an invented mountain detour | Route-based recommendation; no exact optional mountain petal location verified |
| 9: Home | Use the pumpkin object checklist rather than treating every souvenir as a vignette | Separate object goal; no home petal set verified |
“Check” means an inspection recommendation, not proof that a petal exists there. The chapter table stays useful without inventing coordinates, totals or a guaranteed Petal Collector route.
Questions
How many vignettes are there?
The official goal says all, without a number. This audit does not establish an exact total; the three locations listed here are partial coverage, not the game’s total.
Is Audrey’s flower at the diner a petal collectible?
The walkthrough describes a flower-picking journal task near the telescope. That is not evidence of a vignette petal cluster. The pool route is separately reported by a player.
