Once you reach Antville in your playthrough of Stray, you’ll meet a robot called Malo, who is a gardener and loves plants and flowers. Finding, harvesting, and bringing three plants to Malo allows you to obtain the Plant Badge as a reward. Malo is looking for a purple, red, and yellow flower for her collection.

The gardener lives at the top of Antville, right above the ramen restaurant. She was inspired by Clemetine to take up this hobby, one of the Outsiders visiting this village alongside Zbaltazar. Here’s where you can find all Stray plans to complete Malo’s collection.

Climb all the way down below the village to find the red plant’s location. Find the robot playing mahjong on the lowest level of Antville and then ride the bucket further down. You’ll find a trail of items you can use as jump platforms, allowing you to reach a small island with two robot dogs. The nearby tree sprouts some of the red flowers you’re seeking.

Purple plant location

Return to the mahjong players and continue to go around the platform until you find a tree branch sticking out of the floor. Use it as a path and follow it to the end to locate the purple flowers you need.

Yellow plant location

Once again using our mahjong-playing robot friends as the starting point, climb up two ladders to find another robot – the owner of the ramen shop. Walk to the far corner and jump on top of the pipe running out from the balcony. You can find the yellow plant growing along the wall next to the pipe.

Return to Malo and bring her the plants to obtain your reward from her.
