To finish Part 3 of Area 19 (Atlantis) in Gardenscapes, you must spend your earned match-3 stars to complete the zone's final structural repairs, decorative installations, and site cleanup. Completing the final story task brings the Atlantis progress bar to 100 percent and unlocks the Atlantis Completion Chest.

Area 19 Part 3 Renovation Tasks and Star Costs

Part 3 represents the concluding phase of the nineteenth estate area. While earlier parts established the foundation and water lines, this phase focuses on decorative stone masonry, thematic monuments, and narrative milestones.

Individual tasks in this stage generally cost between one and four stars each. Earning these stars requires beating standard, hard, and super-hard match-3 puzzle levels.

Customization Choices and Design Changes

Completing major decoration tasks offers three aesthetic variants, such as classical marble, aged stone, or ornate aquatic styling.

  • No Star Penalty: Your aesthetic selection does not affect your progression speed or star costs.
  • Free Previews: You can preview each of the three options before confirming your choice.
  • Changing Styles Later: If you want to change an object's appearance after building it, enter free-roam mode, tap and hold the item, and pay a coin fee to select an alternative look without redoing story tasks.

Efficient Star Collection in Late-Stage Levels

Because Area 19 occurs deep in the game, match-3 puzzles feature difficult blocker arrangements like ivy, chains, and multi-layered crates. To gather the stars required for Part 3 efficiently:

  1. Leverage Active Win-Streak Events: Align puzzle attempts with events like the Magic Hat, Flying High, or Team Chest tournaments to start difficult levels with free pre-spawned boosters.
  2. Combine Double Rainbow Blasts: Whenever two Rainbow Blasts spawn adjacent to each other, swap them to clear the entire puzzle board of all tiles and a layer of obstacles.
  3. Conserve Coins for Guaranteed Clears: Avoid buying single tools during failed attempts. Reserve coins strictly for five extra moves when board victory is mathematically assured on the following step.

Unlocking the Completion Chest and Next Action

Submitting the final celebration task completes the Atlantis storyline and triggers the Atlantis Completion Chest. This reward bundle contains coins, boosters such as Bombs and Rainbow Blasts, utility tools like Shovels and Rakes, and a period of unlimited lives.

Because the unlimited lives activate immediately upon opening the chest, complete the final task only when you have 30 to 60 minutes of uninterrupted playtime available. This allows you to apply the booster duration directly toward clearing the opening puzzle stages of Area 20.
