Welcome [WELCOME]
Welcome to my Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town - Hitting on Popuri Guide
Basically, this guide focuses on you marrying Popuri, including heart events,
areas you should avoid in order to avoid the rivals heart events (Kai's) and
gifts for her.

V. 1.1 Updated some stuff, fixing some typos etc. Included "Help from others".
V. 1.2 Updated a new FAQ as well as the "HELP" section. Also corrected some more typos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Reason for guide [REASON]
Well, I saw there being a guide how to get Karen so I thought "Well, why the
hell not make for other girls as well? I'll start off with Popuri!" and that
became the birth of this guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What is this guide [GUIDE]
This guide is NOT, for the ever loving God, a guide you should follow if you're
a newbie UNLESS you want to hit on Popuri. I won't give out a lot of details
(easy money etc will be mentioned). I do NOT want comments saying "WHY WON'T
THIS GUIDE COVER OTHER GRLS????????" because this one SOLELY focuses on Popuri!
I only mention the other girls to make life easier for others but I won't go
into detail on them! GEEZ!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Deciding Girl [GIRL]
Well, since you're reading this guide, it's Popuri you're after... After another
chick? Can't help ya thar.... Sorry folks!
Girls you can marry:
Karen - Blonde "hot" girl. Rival: Rick. Popular: Yes. Easy to level up: Easiest,
actually. Her heart level raises when you buy stuff as well as giving her gifts.
She's the one you should aim for if you're a newbie or only have a little
experience.
Marriable on: First year onwards.
Popuri - Pink haired chick. Rival: Kai. Popular: Not as I've seen, no. Easy to
level up: Somewhat. Seeing how you got 90/120 days to hit on her (Kai only shows
up during Summer), she's the second easiest in my opinion. If you're a newbie or
slightly experienced, she's also a good choice to hit on. This is also the girl
that this guide focuses on.
Marriable on: First year onwards.
Elle - Nurse, old fashioned kind of girl. Rival: Doctor. Popular: Somewhat. More
than Ann and Mary but less than Karen. Easy to level up: Meh, she's not EXTREMLY
hard but... Yeah. You get the point.. Give her yarn. If you got decent/mediocre
experience, by all means, hit on her for all what you can. Of course, you can
hit on her on your first playthrough if you so please but as she loves yarn, it
might be difficult at first.
Marriable on: First year onwards.
Ann - Tomboy girl. Rival: Cliff. Popular: Somewhat... I guess. Easy to level up:
Well, she's THE easiest, assuming you get rid off Cliff. Cliff will leave at
Fall 30 of the first year if you don't invite him to the Winery as he'll run out
of money. The Winery job is at Fall 14. At Fall 15 onwards, he'll have a
permanent job there. If you don't get rid off him, be at least mediocre if you
wanna hit on her (unless you're horny in tomboys... If so, by all means, hit on
her even if it's your first playthrough!)
Marriable on: First year onwards.
Mary - The shy librerian. Rival: Gray. Popular: About same as Ann, methinks.
Easy to level up: Well, expect for if you're reading books (why should you....?)
she's fairly difficult. The hardest day to level her, by the way, is on Mondays,
where the Library is closed. If you're rookie-mediocre, have fun marrying her.
Well, she's also possible to mary if you're a rookie but it might be harder for
you, unless you play for the first time ever and need to check the library.
Then, go RIGHT ahead.
Marriable on: First year onwards.
Harvest Goddess - The.... WHAT?! Rival: .... Popular: NO. FOR THE EVER LOVING
HELL NO. DO NOT AIM FOR THIS GIRL UNLESS YOU ARE A FREAKING PRO GAMER AND EVEN
THEN, DO NOT BOTHER. IT IS NOT WORTH YOUR SANITY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Not ONLY
does she take a LOT more of things to get married to, she also doesn't really
LIVE with you... I mean, waitning to year FIVE to marry a girl? I'LL PASS!
Marriable on: FIFTH YEAR OR LATER. (Also the only girl I won't write a FAQ for).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rivals Section [RIVALS]
As mentioned above, all girls but the Harvest Goddess got a rival. Does this
mean trouble for us? Nah, not really. Assuming you can dodge the heart events
(I'll point those out later unless you don't mind those two getting married;
This guide focuses on dodging only Popuri and Kais heart events).
Rick: Lives with Popuri and Lillia (his sister and mother). Does anyone like
him? HELL NO. He does NOTHING but complain about Kai! Seriously!
Rival for: If you missed it, Karen.
Kai: Only comes during Summer. That's 30 days so... Yeah. He's the kind of guy
you'll either love or hate. I don't mind him personally. (In this guide, we hate
him, though, since he wanna steal our hot chick!)
Rival for: Popuri...?
Doctor: Lives by himself. He's in love with Elle (the Nurse) apparently... Name
(as far as I've heard) is Tim but I dunno myself if it's true or not.
Rival for: *Looks at text right above*
Cliff: Lives in the Inn. At Fall 14, you can invite him for a job at Aja Winery.
He'll run out of cash if you don't invite him and leave at Fall 30.
Rival for: Ann.... Duh. Learn to read up THAR.
Gray: Lives at the Inn in the same room as Cliff (don't get no ideas fangirls!).
Rival for: The only girl left, obviously... Mary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirments for marriage [REQUIRMENTS]
You need the following things (all girls but Harvest Goddess):
2nd house upgrade (needed for the next item).
Big Bed (*snicker*).
Seen all Heart Events (read on..)
Red Heart (maxed)
Blue Feather (avaiable once at least 1 girl got Orange Heart, used for proposing
because everyone knows that wedding rings is for Shenanigans!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Heart Events [HEART]
Well, since this is a Popuri Guide... I'm only pointing those out. As well as
Kais so you know what to dodge. All his is during Summer, by the way.
Kais heart events:
Black: On a Sunny Sunday, avoid going to Mineral Beach between 1-4PM. Years: 1
onwards.
Blue: Sunny Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, avoid going to Mineral Beach between
9AM and 7 PM (yeah...) Years: 1 onwards.
Green: Sunny Sunday (again, huh...), avoid going to Mineral Beach between 1-4PM
(again...). Years: 2 onwards (though by this time, you SHOULD be married to
her... If you're following this guide, that is)
Orange: Avoid Poultry Farmhouse during a Sunny Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,
7AM-9PM. Years: 4 onwards. IF you're not married to her by now.... GTFO. NAO.
Players heart events (those you WANNA see):
Black: On a Wednesday or Friday, enter to the town between 10AM and 6 PM.
Personally, I find it easiest to go to Sabihara at 10:00, then exit at once to
trigger it. You'll catch a chicken that ran away and Popuri will ask if you like
chickens. Tell her "Yes." and she'll be a happy girl.
Tell her "No" and she'll tell you to go to hell.
Movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT7V7eNudUo&feature=channel_page (Ignore
annotations if you so wish).
Purple: Easiest.Event.EVAR to trigger. Any day but Sunday, Sunny. Exit your farm
and... It's triggerd. She'll want a tour of your farm. Tell her "yes" and it'll
be done by 1 PM. Hopefully, you don't have a lot to do today...
Tell her "no" and she thinks you're an asshole.
Movie linky again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AT2Jk8X8PA&feature=channel_page
Blue: Enter the Church on a Sunny Sunday (not Summer, though) and Popuri, Stu
and May wanna play House (what kids didn't when they were in that age...?) but
Carter (who was meant to be the father) is too busy. They'll ask you instead.
Say "Yes" and Popuri will love you more.
Afterwards, you'll get Popuri's mud ball. Use for it? None what so ever!
Say "no" and she'll try and kill you instead.
O hai Blue Heart linky.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F63PtYXhyd4&feature=related
Yellow: Any sunny day but Tuesday and Sunday, around 11:20 AM-1PM. Enter Poultry
Farmhouse and you'll seen a scene where Rick and Popuri is arguing over their
father.
Side with Rick makes her wanna kill you.
Side with her and she'll be even hornier in you. There's also a pretty high
chance you'll be getting the next heart level, as well.
Final movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCXhjMYNhH8&feature=related
Ignore annotations if you so wish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro to game [INTRO]
Well, we're finally here. The intro to the game.
Here's my basic stuff:
Name: My own.
Birthday: Spring 4 (Spring = March, April, May). Summer is June-August, Fall
consists of the next 3 months and Winter is the obviously last 3 months. What if
your birthday is 31? Then... Tough luck. Put it on 30 then.
Farm: I ain't telling.
Dog: Drake (Swedish for Dragon as well).
Anyway, the farm is overgrown with.. Crap. Pretty much. I wonder how many
freaking typhoons there's been, too...
Anyway, Thomas (the Mayor) will come and tell you to get out. Until he figures
out you're the one who's inherited the farm. Oh I see what you did there!
Apparently, the owner of the farm died half a year ago. Explains why you didn't
get any letters anymore....
There's a flashback (yay flashbacks!) which shows how you met the old man.
Apparently, you got lost. Figures. He calls your parents who comes to pick you
up but they let you play there.
The old man has no children or grandchildren of his own so... Yeah.
One day, while you're looking towards the sky and apparently thinking about
something (or sleeping, whatever), a girl shows up. She asks how you are since
you looked dead.
After the summer ends, you'll have to go back to your home. The girl gets sad
and tells you to come back sometime!
Who the girl is? Well, if you ask me....
The next day, you'll be visited by Thomas again. He explains some basic stuff
(ignore the damn thing if you want to...) and then another man will show up
called Zack. He's the one who'll be buying your shipped things.
So, what's our #1 priority? Fix the farm or talk with Popuri? Well, neither.
First, we need money. So, head back into your house, check the TV (constantly
press the left button) until you find a TV show with the Harvest Goddess. You'll
guess if the next number will be higher or lower. Is it easy? Nope. Not even a
little. Unless she says 0 or 9, that is...
You can play this game 5 times a day for the first 5 days of the year, which
makes it a good way to get money.
If you got a real life game, aim for 10-14 wins. That'll give you Relaxtion Tea
Leaves (1000G a piece when shipped). That means you'll get 5000G from it in one
day. Nice.
If you're using a emulator, aim for 60 wins (using savestates, duh). That'll
give you an Ancient Fossil which ships for no less than 5000G! That's 25,000G in
just one day!
Anyway, next up on your schedule, your farm. Lift your dog and put it back down
(to raise it's affection, duh).
At around 7-8 AM, head to Harvest Goddess Spring. There, you'll find Ann and
Popuri. Talk with Popuri twice (introduce yourself and to raise her affection).
Yeah... Rinse and repeat. You get the deal. If you don't... Sucks for you.
Now, once this is done, we need gifts. Wait... No we don't. Farm comes first
damn it!
Anyway, bring out the Hammer, Scythe and Axe and start cleaning up your farm.
Don't worry if you don't finish it all in one day. It takes me about 2-3 days so
don't fret. It's not big of a deal anyway.
The next day, play the Harvest Goddess game again (10-14 or 60 wins again) and
ship those items. Today, you'll also meet Won for the first time. Remember him,
since he'll be showing up sometimes... Ship your items and keep working on your
farm.
The store is closed on Tuesdays and Sundays so we can't buy her gifts. Hm...
Then what do we do... Well, talk with her (twice), buy a chicken (if you can
afford it, which you should) and some chicken food (60 or so for now. Depends on
your cash).
From hereon out, give Popuri eggs on Tuesdays and Saturdays (since she loves
'em) and chocolate (gift wrap 'em if you can afford it) on the rest of the days,
which'll make her affection go sky rocket.
Since Popuri loves any kinds of eggs, just give her regular ones (if you don't
wanna ship 'em, it's your choice!).
On the third day, Won shows up. Again. Oh man... This time, he got 3 kinds of
apples with really odd names, all costing 500G so buy one and ship it if you so
please. Not that it matters, anyway...
Buy Chocolate and the Big Rucksack (if you can afford it) today. Gift wrap the
chocolate to get a 125% affection from Popuri which is nice like hell.
By the end of Spring, year 1, you should have the following (I won't say it's
bad if you got less but it's what you preferably should have):
First house upgrade (IF you can afford it. If you're playing on a ROM, I can
gaurantee you will be able to afford it).
Popuri with Purple (second) heart or higher. This is very very VERY important.
If you don't have it... Well, tough luck. All that happens is that it'll take
some time longer to marry her (and you'll have a harder time facing Kai due to
heart events).
1-2 chickens
1 cow (if you can afford it)
1 sheep (if you can afford it)
Horse (obtained from Barley)
Met all the villagers of Mineral Town
Befriended some (if not all) Harvest Sprites (I tend to aim for 2-3 Harvest
Sprites minimum, give 'em Flour).
Large Rucksack (you can afford it, right?)
All tools with Bronze level or higher (I usually have Silver level or higher on
Hoe and Hammer due to Spring Mine).
Basket (if you can afford it)
That'd be all. If you got more or less, it doesn't matter. This is kinda-sorta
what you should AIM for having. If you got more than those things or less, it
doesn't matter the outcome, just takes some more/less time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Popuri [POPURI]
Well... I got no answer. She's my favorite girl, that's the only excuse I can
give... Well, that and she's very easy to level up since she loves chickens, if
you buy one, just gives her eggs every day (especially Spa Boiled eggs).
She's the girliest of the girls in this game so yeah... If you likes 'em, go get
'er tiger!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Gifts [GIFTS]
Hard as it may be to belive, she likes Weed (which grows every season but Winter
on your farm...)
Giftwrap it (100G) to make her get a 110% booster to liking you. (Gift wrap
gives you +25% booster if the person loves it, otherwise 10% booster... Or so
I've heard. I dunno about the 10% booster).
The thing I recommend mostly, however, would be giving her Chocolate. Yes,
chocolate. She loves it. A lot. If you got the Large Rucksack (9 items), gift
wrap 'em all (1800G total) and you'll make her heart levels go sky rocket.
You might have trouble at first getting enough money but don't worry, it'll go
around by itself eventually!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ]
Q: If I wish to marry someone else, should I follow this guide?
A: ....No.
Q: Is this guide recommended if I've never played this game before?
A: Not really... Most of my stuff is rather complicated for rookies anyway. No
offense, though.
Q: How long did it take to make this guide?
A: Maybe 3 hours, including eating...
Q: How the hell that fast?
A: I'm a fast writer AND it's pretty short anyway...
Q: Can I point out typos/tips/other?
A: Gladly.
Q: Can I put this guide on my site?
A: In your dreams, buddy.
Q: I found this guide on another site!
A: Right... Then it's EITHER a coincidence OR someone stole this one. Please
send me a link.
Q: Why does Karen's heart level go up despite me not giving her gifts and very
rarely speaking with her?
A: Karen is unique in that area. Even if you ignore her, she'll hit Red heart
level (unless you marry someone else) because you'll constantly be shopping. Her
affection will grow the more you shop. I found myself having Blue heart level on
Karen by the end of Spring despite me focusing on Popuri!
Q: Will you write guides for other girls?
A: There's already one for Karen so I might ignore that one but there's a pretty
high chance I'll be doing it for the other girls.
Q: Can I help?
A: Gladly. If you got tips and tricks, feel free to send 'em in. I'll obviously
give you the credit (real life name, nickname or internet name doesn't matter;
However, I will NOT say "thanks to [email]." That's just stupid.
Q: Does this game have an end? (See credits).
A: Yes. Once you've seen the marriage, the game "officialy" ends.
Q: Who's your favorite girl?
A: None, in particular. I love 'em all.
Karen: She's kinda hot.
Popuri: I love her personality. I also love girls with pink hair.
Ann: She's funny, somewhat.
Mary: I got a thing for shy girls...
Elle: She's prettier than the rest in my opinion, in a way.
Q: When/how do I get a child/can I get more than 1 child?
A: When you're married, have your wife with 10 hearts. After a while, she'll
complain about her stomache hurting (IIRC 1-2 seasons). Around 1-2 seasons
later, you'll have a son. I forgot, sadly.
There IS a glitch to having a second son but I dunno how to pull it off, sorry.
Q: How often have you passed this game (marriage)?
A: A few. My very first playthrough was back in -06 or so. I married Karen since
the guide I followed recommended her. After that, I've tried to marry every girl
at least once.
In the end, I usually have savefile 1 with Karen and savefile 2 with Popuri,
since both are my favorite girls.
Q: Why can't I trigger the rivals other heart events?
A: EITHER the girl likes you more OR it's not the right year. Heart event 1 and
2 (Black and Blue) can be triggerd during year 1 onwards. Green requires year 2
and finally Orange requires year 4. Yes, year 4. Not year 3. My guess? They
wanna know each well enough or something...
Q: I heard that Popuri will help you on your farm. Is it true?
A: No. It's a myth. A non existant one.
Q: When will my stupid son help me on the farm?
A: Beats me. He've never done it for me anyway. Rumors says he won't until he's
10.
Q: I heard a rumor about that if you visit Rose Square on a Snowy Saturday
around 10 AM, you'll see a cutscene. Is this true?
A: Yes. It's true. You'll see a scene with Cliff who comments on him remembering
the day he left his home. He'll faint and you'll hurry to the Inn. Ann will
greet you and she notices you looks worried. You tell her about Cliff so Doug
and Carter will come with you as well as Ann to help Cliff to the hospital. He's
fine but he'll be there for a few days. You get the picture once you're done but
keep it for now.
Q: I got the picture but what good is it?
A: Visit Cliff the day after (well, as long as he's still in the hospital) and
bring the picture. Use it on him and he'll tell you about his past...
Q: Why does Cliff love Ann/Gray love Mary/Kai love Popuri/Rick love Karen?
A: Cliff loves Ann due to her reminding him of his little sister. Gray and Mary
is both shy people so they're fairly ideal to be honest. Kai... I have no idea.
Probably 'cause he loves girly-girls... Rick and Karen is childhood friends so
there's your reason for that.
Q: Is it true that Elle is gonna do something with Cliff when he's in the
hospital?
A: ...Yes and no. If you collapse while Cliff still is in the hospital, you'll
end up in the only Hospital bed (I know the damn village is small, but
still.....) and the doctor will try having Cliff stand up by himself (he falls
down right after the doctor leaves again) and the doctor mentions you
overworking yourself. Elle will bring Cliff to a sofa so that he'll have
somewhere to lay down.
Q: Why won't I see Cliff being on the sofa?
A: Well, I have no idea. I dunno if they got another hospital bed or the like
upstairs. According to rumors I've heard, it's the sofa (personally, I've never
collapsed while he's still there so I wouldn't know).
Q: Will anyone else end up in the hospital but Cliff/me?
A: Nope. The only ones that will is you guys. Sure, the other people will come
and visit due to their personal reasons but none of 'em will collapse like you
and Cliff would.
Q: Is it possible to trigger Cliffs Memory Scene on the first day of Winter on
year 1?
A: Yep. Since it's a Saturday, keep checking the TV until it's Snowy and you'll
trigger it if you visit Rose Square.
Q: Will Cliff faint more than once?
A: Nope. Once he've fainted once, it's the last time he will.
Q: Can you die in this game? (Age)
A: Don't think so. You always looks the same age to me.... As well as everyone
else in the village.
Q: Help! My [animal] got a skull above it's head!
A: It's sick so hurry up and grab some medicine from Poultry Farm and use it on
'em.
Q: What happens if my animal dies?
A: If it's due to you neglecting them, Rick and Barely will scold you. If it's
due to age, they'll feel sorry for you.
Q: Can the horse/dog die?
A: Nope. Since they don't need food, they can't die. You can have a horse and a
dog that's 50 years if you so please!
Q: Does it matter if I have, for example, Green heart but haven't triggerd Blue
heart on Popuri?
A: Nope. The heart level (blue, for example) is the MINIMUM required. Hell, I've
seen people have Red Heart on Karen and done her Black Heart event!
Q: Why won't [heart event] happen?
A: As far as I recall, all BLUE Heart Events gives you an item. That means you
must have the L.Rucksack or bigger (second or third, in other words) and 1 empty
slot in it. The items you get is useless but it proves you're on the right
track.
Q: Can I impregnante (a.k.a make my [animal] not being pregnant] my [animal]?
A: Yes. If you don't want a lamb (example) go and buy a medicine from Barley and
use on your pet.
Q: (I seriously got this question, no joke) How do you save?
A: ....Uh.... Enter the menu (start button) and hit the Diary and if you're in
your house, read the Diary?
Q: Is it true Karen got a Green heart event?
A: 2 things:
1: This isn't a Karen guide.
2: There IS an event that happens. Duke got a bill on the super market (Duke is
the one who runs Aja Winery with his wife Manna) and it requires Karen to be
Green heart. Not sure about higher.
Q: If I hit Red Heart and saw all heart events on 2 or more girls, can I marry
both?
A: No. Once you propose (and she accepts) you'll lose the Blue Feather and the
other girls will no longer be marryable.
Q: Why does Cliff leave in year 1 sometimes and sometimes he won't?
A: It's actually in the script if he'll leave or not. In Fall 14, year 1,
Duke'll ask you to join in the Harvest Festival. If you accept, head there the
next day (Fall 15). He'll also mention that you should bring someone. As
everyone but Cliff got a job, invite Cliff. After that day, he'll work there
permanently. (Fall 16 onwards).
Q: If Cliff leaves, will he come back?
A: No. He's gone for good unless you cheat.
Q: Why won't Popuri purple heart event trigger for me?
A: If it's in Summer or Winter, I don't think it'll happen. If it's Spring or
Fall, I'm certain of it. She'll come the instance you leave your house any day
but Sunday (Sunny). If it's raining/snowing, she will not come.
Q: Help! I'm out of food for my [animals] and [farm] is closed today!
A: Grow grass on your farm if it's for your sheeps and cows. Either let them eat
it or use your scythe on it to make it food for them. If it's your chickens,
just let them be out (not in Winter) as they'll eat worms and the like they'll
find.
Q: About how long does it take for the Sheep to have its Wool to grow back up?
A: No idea. About 10 days I assume.
Q: How long does it take before I can milk my cow?
A: I'm not sure, really. I assume about 5-6 days minimum.
Q: How long will it take before a chicken hatch?
A: As far as I know, 3 days. Once it's born, don't worry about it. You won't
have to feed it until it grows up.
Q: Do I have to feed the animal on the day I buy it?
A: (Thanks to Jovan for this info) No, you don't. You can buy it and not feed it until the
next day.
Q: During my first playthrough, my chicken got sick in Spring but now on my second
playthrough, it's nearing Winter and my chicken isn't sick!
Do you know why?
A: Sadly, I don't.
All I know is that if you don't feed it, it's pretty high odds of it getting sick.
Personally, I just have it outside quite a bit during Spring/Summer.
It might just have "..." due to being neglected, however (happened for me a few times!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and Tricks [T&T]
Weather Trick.
Save on (example) the Monday. The next day, check the weather. Well, it's sunny.
We're planting so we don't want it to be sunny...
Reload your save, go to sleep, check the weather. Rinse and repeat until you get
your desired weather.
Quick boosting of hearts (pets, people etc).
Confess to Carter about overworking the Harvest Sprites to make them quickly
work for you. Say the same about your animals (you neglect them) and they'll be
happier.
Yeah... You get the deal.
You can confess any day it rains. Otherwise, only on Monday and Wednesdays.
Easy money early on (if you got bad luck)
You can get a Honey from the tree in your farm. It gives a Honey each day that's
worth 50G (there's a glitch to give it infinite Honey but I have no idea how it

and only during Spring; 50G each).

Help from others [HELP]
Here, I'll just include right about whatever that's not included by me.
Note that I copy and paste the mail that I recived (or whatever it is)
but I do NOT say the name of the one sent (i.e mail adress).
They'll be in the order that I read the mails in.
Also, I'll reply to ALL mails I get.
Note that if you don't add your name/nickname, I'm just adding whatever it says in your
mail adress.
