To solve the "Three Mushrooms Puzzle" in Tower of Fantasy, Wanderers must stomp on the Glowshrooms in a particular order, depending on size.

Glowshrooms, also referred to as the "three mushroom puzzle," are a type of environmental puzzle in Tower of Fantasy that involves players hopping atop the caps of giant shrooms in a specific order. Whenever players perform this action, a bluish particle effect will appear, accompanied by a "boing" sound. If a particular Glowshroom node is jumped on within the correct order, it will produce an audible piano note. If players manage to solve the Tower of Fantasy puzzle by stepping on all the right mushroom caps, a Gold or Black Nucleus will spawn as a reward.

According to Tower of Fantasy's in-game description, Glowshrooms form a "resilient mushroom cluster that lights up when stomped. Rumor has it that good things happen when players light them up in a certain order." While these sentences are not exactly poorly worded, their vagueness will undoubtedly cause confusion regarding how Glowshroom puzzles are to be solved. After all, nothing is mentioned about the musical notes produced when stomping on the correct shroom.

Thanks to the findings of Game Skinny, Tower of Fantasy fans can know what they need to do in order to solve the "three mushrooms puzzle" in the open world of Aesperia. First, they must search for the smallest shroom, characterized by its miniature size. After stomping on the Glowshroom with the tiniest cap, look around for the mushroom in Tower of Fantasy that is slightly larger in size. Jump onto the medium-sized Glowshroom before bouncing on the largest in the group. If done correctly, musical notes should play for each bounce, and a Nucleus should appear after landing on the largest Glowshroom.

However, despite fans referring Glowshroom cluster as the "three mushrooms puzzle," there are other Glowshroom puzzles in Tower of Fantasy that involve more than three shrooms. For example, there are puzzles in the Navia and Crown Mines regions that have six Glowshrooms per puzzle, and some of the mushrooms are the same size. This predicament causes the "order-of-size" technique to be rendered ineffective.

However, there is still truth in stomping on the Glowshrooms by size in Tower of Fantasy. In other words, size still matters, with smaller shrooms being first before larger caps. When interacting with four or more Glowshrooms, players must rely on trial and error to see which of the same-sized shrooms are first in the hierarchy. Remember that if a cap is interacted with within the right order, it will retain a bluish glow until a mistake is made or the puzzle ends in Tower of Fantasy.
