The Secret Garden is a small hidden area in the Regent Valley area of pre-Searing Ascalon. Within this area, several ruins can be found, as well as some very beautiful scenery.

[edit] Getting there
Finding this location can be difficult because it is obscured by several bushes and vines. Travel westwards from Fort Ranik. You will see these bushes and vines growing along a river bank in Regent Valley. With a little searching, access to the Secret Garden can be found behind those bushes. On the way there you will most likely run into some Skale Broodcallers. You can ignore them because they won't follow you into the area. Once you've found it, an easy way to gain access is to scroll the camera out all the way, pan it up, and click somewhere inside the cave. Your character will automatically run past the shrubbery without any difficulty.

[edit] Notes
- Many players find it difficult to gain access to The Secret Garden due to the problematic placing of the surrounding shrubbery. However this is rendered much easier if one zooms the camera out as far as possible to take a birds eye view of the area and pans the camera angle so that its facing the East North East direction. The entrance is located towards the left of the shrubbery. It also helps to stay close to the rock beside the entrance
- The secret garden ceases to exist in post-Searing. Although the original location is on the map, it is vastly changed, with no foliage and no ponds. It is also the starting place of the Fort Ranik mission.
- This landmark does not have an official name.
- The NPC Nicholas Sandford and his Yak, Professor Yakkington, were added to the area in the April 9th 2009 update.
