Welcome again to another walkthrough by me: Michele!
Well this is a change of pace for me for those of you being my loyal
followers...Generally I write survival horror games so I won’t be
surprised to find you wondering what I’m doing at a harvest moon FAQ.
Truth be told, I LOVE harvest moon and probably own every single
version of the game on its many different consoles. My favorite
versions are still (in order) Back to Nature, Harvest moon 64 and
magical melody. Anyways, seeing as though there was next to zero FAQS
out there for this game...well you all know the drill, I stepped in and
took charge! (I love doing that kind of stuff :P)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guide contains SPOILERS!!! This guide will do one thing; help you
get to point A to B with all the help necessary to do so. If you DO NOT
want someone to hold your hand throughout the game, then please do not
use my guide, I promise I will not be offended! This guide was written
using the Innocent Life copy for the Playstation 2 exclusively. I have
no idea what will and will not be similar in the Psp version of this
game (besides I think there is already another guide that states this.)

Direct from the instructional booklet:
Life is good for the residents of Heartflame Island, especially
since new robots and automated machines do almost all the work. But
technology is a tool--not an answer to all problems. Maybe that’s why
everyone is a little uneasy about the old stories of strange magic and
a prediction that Flame Mountain will erupt and destroy everything.
That’s why Dr. Hope made you--because you can open and explore ancient
places where no human has ventured for many years.
*****************************
What’s Different?
*****************************
So what’s different from this game than every other Harvest moon game
out there? In short...A LOT!
First of all the amazing graphics make this game visually
pleasing from start to finish. Attention to detail can really be shown
off here in this game.
Second, (and probably the biggest difference) is that you, the
main character, are a robot. That’s quite a change from being the
loveable humanoid Jack we Harvest Moon fans know and love. Seeing as
though you’re a robot, you are unable to marry in this game. That’s
right, you’ve heard me correctly, NO MARRIAGE! That means no wooing of
any sort in this game. No love for the robot...
Third, you do not start off the game with ANY animals...that
includes your trusty dog. Please see my Pets section of this guide for
how to obtain your fuzzy friends.
Fourth, there is absolutely zero option to give gifts to people
to boost friendship points. People may rejoice or scream as they wish.
Fifth, there is a TON more variations of crops to grow in this
game, from different flowers (sunflower, rose, tulip etc...) to crops
(melons, lemons, green peas etc...) there’s a lot to choose from.
Sixth, your field is huge, but...certain sections are locked and
therefore unusable to you until you can break the seal on them...How
you ask? Please read my Your Farm section for more.
Seventh, you don’t build a barn or henhouse in this game. You own
both from the very beginning but just like your fields you will be
unable to use it until you break the seal.
Eighth, your tools level up with a certain amount of experience
from use, similar to Harvest Moon 64.
Ninth, there are only certain festivals that occur during the
game, and you will be told when they are as the story progresses. Make
sure to remember when they are since you also have no calendar to check
if you’re wrong!
Tenth, remember those harvest sprites that you used to hire to
work on your farm? Well forget them, in this game you receive your very
own robot helper that is ten times better then those pesky sprites.
This thing can collect materials (wood and stone), water your crops,
weed your field and more!
Eleventh, there are plenty more changes and differences in this
game, can you discover them all? (That’s my lame excuse to discontinue
writing this section right now :p)

PLEASE READ!
Note: This guide will never dictate what kinds of crops you should
grow, what animals you should get or anything like that. The sole
purpose of this guide is to help you, the player, complete the
storyline in a earliest time period possible while still acquiring all
the different items, crops, fruits etc. that the game has to offer.
This is your game, so play it how you choose. Also note that this guide
does and will spoil to the storyline for you. I’ve tried to be as
detailed as possible and in so doing have spoiled much of the story
during my walkthrough. I will not be offended if you choose not to use
my guide at the same time I will not be blamed for ruining your game
experience if you choose to read ahead. Alright, as usual I’ve rambled
too long...lets start a new life shall we?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*****************************
Friday, Winter 33
*****************************
When you first begin the game, you’ll see different images appearing on
your screen until it eventually forms a heart shaped island. Welcome to
Heartlfame Island! Afterwards, you’ll see a man typing on his computer.
He’s filling out a registration form for someone. Note how he changes
his mind in labeling the person a male instead of a robot.
The scene then switches to the mayors office. The mayor and his son
discuss that the Dr. wishes to go through with registering this person
as a resident of the island.
Back to the lab, you awaken in a pod as Dr. Hope welcomes you. He
introduces himself as Dr. Hope Grain and states that he will be your
father. He then tells you that you’re currently in his residence and
then asks you if you saw the image of the island he sent to you. You
can either choose yes or no. Choose YES to continue the game play.
Choosing no will allow you to watch the opening movie of the different
images forming the island once again.
Dr. Hope then continues to tell you that you’ll need to try and grow
come crops and that this is kind of like you’re initiation to becoming
a full-fledged resident here on the island. He says that to become
fully human you’ll need to learn to value of life. After he says this
you’re free to move now so step out of the shine pod and into the room.
At this time you’re introduced to Gayak, a local farmer on the island.
Gayak has come to teach you to learn how to farm so follow you’re
father out into the sitting room.
Before you leave the lab however, make sure to speak with the Maid.
She’ll explain how to check your inventory. This can be done by
pressing the L1 button. Now head left from the Maid’s position and into
the sitting room. Speak with Gayak and then speak with your father.
He’ll tell you more about the piece of land he has purchased for you
and that he got a great deal on it because most of the land was sealed
(whatever that means...) He then asked you if were ready to learn how
to farm. Select YES to continue the game play.
Gayak then proceeds to drag you off to his farm where you will
experience a farming tutorial. But before you leave, Dr. Hope grants
you his old watering can to use for farming. You receive the
Along the way to Gayak’s farm, your character will notice some little
dudes popping out of the woods. They’ll have a little conversation and
then leave. Gayak will ask you what you thought you heard and then
start running off to his farm.
You’ll arrive at Gayak’s farm and he’ll pull out his virtual farm to
help teach you the basics of farming. So first he’ll explain that you
need to till the soil before you can start planting any seeds and he’ll
give you his old hoe to use. You receive an  He’ll tell you
how to equip your hoe, so go to your inventory by pressing L1 and then
selecting your hoe and pressing triangle. Then proceed to till all nine
squares of earth. Afterward tilling all nine squares, Gayak will give
you a seed bag that’s currently filled with 9 potato seeds. He then
instructs you to plant these seeds in the newly tilled ground.
If you’d liked to get a jump start on your farm, only plant one of the
nine potato seeds that Gayak had given you. After planting one seed,
talk to Gayak to begin the next portion of the tutorial. You just got 8
free seeds! WhooHoo! Gayak will then ask you to go ahead and water the
seed(s) you just planted. Go and do so then speak with him again to
advance your farming tutorial. He then fast forwards time (remember
this is a virtual farm) to the final stage of the potatoes growth so
that you can practice harvesting. Do so to complete your tutorial.
You’ll be tired from your hard days work and Gayak’s wife Marlene will
invite you to stay the night at their house.
*****************************
Saturday, Winter 34
*****************************
Walk downstairs after waking up and you’ll have a meal at Gayak’s
house. Marlene will ask you if the food was good, select YES to make
her happy. Doing so will increase your love, cooking and humor points
by 1. Selecting NO will yield no increase. Speak with Marlene and she
states she has something for you. She will give you another seed bag so
that you can hold more types of seeds. After this is done walk
downstairs and speak with Gayak and he gives you 9 turnip seeds to help
start your farm. So at this point you should have 9 turnip seeds and if
you chose to only plant one seed during the tutorial 8 potato seeds as
well. Return back upstairs to meet another character named Marcia;
she’s the grand daughter of Marlene and Gayak. At this point Marcia
states she’s going to drop you off at Dr. Hope’s house.
Along the walk to Dr. Hopes, Marcia states that she’s seen some Nature
sprites around this area. Anyways, continue to Dr. Hope’s house.
Vita, the maid, will direct you to the dining room so you can eat some
dinner. This is actually a farewell party that the Dr. and Vita are
throwing for you. Afterwards you and the Dr. will have a conversation
in the dining room alone, and he will ask you a question about the
value of life to which you should answer YES. This will make the Dr.
happy and will increase you love and intelligence points by 1.
*****************************
Sunday, Winter 35
*****************************
You’ll wake up in the shine pod. Walk down screen until Vita starts
talking to you. She’ll mention that the Dr. is outside by the garden
(which is directly west of the house.) Go there now and speak with Dr.
Hope to begin the next progression. You both walk back to the house to
meet the artist that’s here to bring you to your farm. At this point
after saying goodbye to the Dr., you and Moonlight head off to your
farm at the Easter Ruins.
Along the way Moonlight will point out different landmarks such as the
south Heartflame cave and you’ll take a lovely jaunt through the valley
towards the ruins. You’ll both walk into the ruins and you’ll enter
your room. Moonlight will remind you that you’re a stranger in this
land and that you’ll need to work hard in order to gain the townsfolk
trust. You’ll head to bed at this point and your human stats will
increase. Your challenge, love and intelligence will all increase by 1
point.
*****************************
Monday, Spring 1
*****************************
Some old man by the name of Franco will awaken you. He’s come to watch
you in action on your very first day. Head over to the elevator and
choose the option to go up to your farm. Franco will explain that he
already tilled some soil for you so that you can start planting those
turnips seeds Gayak gave you the day before. You’ll have to till your
own soil from now after this though this is just a freebee. ^_^ So go
ahead and plant those turnip seeds in the already prepared soil then
till some more soil for the potato seeds and repeat the process. Don’t
forget to water your crops every day or they won’t grow otherwise!
After you’ve finished with your crops, make your way over to the item
box (it’s the brunt orange looking tube to the left of the elevator
with grass on top of it.) Press the O button to bring up a menu and
choose the option to put away items. At this time you can safely put
away both empty seeds bags as well as the power and snow soles.
Note: Only put away the soles if you’re using the analog stick to move
around. If you’re using the directional pad, you’ll need to have the
appropriate soles equipped otherwise you’ll be defaulted to walking.
Using the analog stick will always make you run and thus the soles have
no use :p
After doing this, spend sometime and walk around your farm meet and
greeting all of the people that have come to visit you. You will meet
the majority of the townsfolk at this time so try to make friends yes?
After speaking with everyone, talk with Franco and he’ll remind you
that you will be unable to leave the ruins until after you’ve
successfully harvested your first shipment of crops At this time
everyone will leave your farm for the day. At this point you’re free to
fully explore your ruins home inside and out.
Try to squeeze some time in today to check out both the Drama and Anime
channels.
*****************************
Tuesday, Spring 2
*****************************
After waking up this morning, head up to your farm to discover a man
standing next to your item box along with the mayor’s son. They will
engaged in a conversation talking about how they think farming this
place by hand is crazy and that they thought Dr. Hope would’ve created
a new invention to help auto-farming prosper; they weren’t expecting
you. The mayor’s son implores you to keep the fact that you’re a robot
a secret as he doesn’t believe that the other townsfolk would take
kindly to it.
Just water your crops like you did yesterday and make sure to watch
cooking life today as you’ll receive your very first recipe! Whoohoo!
Since life on the farm is going to be a bit slow for the first couple
days why not try harvesting a very useful item that can help you in
your farming endeavor? Take the elevator down to the ruins entrance and
step outside. Once outside head to your left and walk down a little
slope to reach the waters edge where you should see many yellow looking
things on the ground. This yellow stuff is actually known as strange
moss and when it’s used in conjunction with your crops it can help
retain water for up to 2 days. To use the moss, equip it using the
triangle button then place it on tilled soil. One piece of moss can be
used to spread across 9 different squares of tilled soil! That’s pretty
amazing if you think about it. Once on the ground you can then place
your crop seeds on top of the moss. Water the crops at this time and
you don’t need to worry about watering for the next 2 days! Pretty cool
huh? Strange moss really shines when you have lots of exploring to
accomplish during later parts of the game. There are 42 strange mosses
that you can pick up from this lake area.
There’s also a new TV show you can watch today on both the Cooking Life
and Drama channels.
*****************************
Wednesday, Spring 3
*****************************
After waking up and heading out to your farm, you see more strange
people standing amongst your fields. Speaking with the closest person
reveals that his name is Million and that he runs the town’s
supermarket. After speaking with the very rude youth named Lenny,
Million and he will both leave you to your work.
Water your crops just as before then head downstairs and enter Franco’s
lodgings. Franco lives outside the ruins entrance and to the left in
case you forgot! Speak with Franco and he’ll ask you if you’re used to
farm life yet, select YES to receive a free sickle! You receive an
Now you can have something else to do today! Remember
all those weeds I asked you no to destroy? Well you can go crazy with
your new sickle! Destroy every weed in sight, and try to maintain a
certain amount of cleanliness around the farm.
********************************************
Thrusday, Spring 4 & Friday, Spring 5
********************************************
Nothing new one these days, just make sure to keep those crops watered!
*****************************
Saturday, Spring 6
*****************************
When you wake up this morning, Franco and Moonlight will be standing in
front of the elevator waiting for you. This only happens today if you
chose to retain the 8 potato seeds from the farming tutorial, otherwise
this same event will occur tomorrow only with your turnip crop. (This
guide is going to assume the potato crop is your first crop.) Speak
with Franco to go up to your farm and harvest your first shipment!
After harvesting and then shipping your first potato harvest, speak
with Franco once again to be congratulated on your farming skills!
He will then give the order to Moonlight to take you into town. Before
you leave the area, Moonlight remembers that he recently found an old
robot that he wants the Dr. the take a look at. Afterwards, you and
Moonlight (with the robot in tow) head off the Dr. Hopes house.
Once you arrive, Moonlight leaves and the Dr. proceeds to perform your
weekly maintenance. After the maintenance, you’ll fall asleep and wake
up the next day at the breakfast table.
*****************************
Sunday, Spring 7
*****************************
You eat a quick breakfast with your father and then you find out that
Million is here to show you around the town. Million and Marcia will
take you on a driving tour of the town showing you all the different
building and explaining to you what goes on around town. Try and pay
attention to all the different locations before the tour ends and
Million and Marcia drop you back off at your farm.
Marcia will give you 25 Asparagus seeds for you to get started with
your new planting; these are a gift from Gayak as well as another seed
bag from Marlene. After they drop you off you’re free to return to town
anytime you wish and you can even cross over the swinging bridge to the
right of the ruins to investigate that area.
Try and pick up a few more different kinds of crops while you’re at the
supermarket today. There’s a spring festival at the end of the month
and Gayak will try to get you to plant all the 6 different kinds of
spring crops in time for the offering. Even if you only buy one of each
type of seed, you’ll still fulfill the festivals requirements in plenty
of time to spare. All you need to do is grow all 6 kinds of crops and
harvest them as you normally would through the shipping pod. I’ll
remind you again as the time gets closer, this is just an FYI!
***************************************
Monday, Spring 8 - Saturday, Spring 13
***************************************
This is really your first week own your own, can you handle it? lol
Anyways, this week try and accomplish watering your crops and
developing a rhythm to your farming style. This week is really about
raising your crops and trying to bring in some extra income so that you
can afford to buy a scale pack, axe and hammer!
*****************************
Sunday, Spring 14
*****************************
Alrighty, you’ve had a fun filled first week on your farm all by
yourself and now it’s time for your check up with your father Dr. Hope.
After taking care of your crops head on over to the good Dr.s house to
see what’s what.
Dr. Hope informs you after your check up that the robot that Moonlight
found is going to need some more time to repair still and he apologizes
for it. He wants the robot to help you with your work on the farm but
since it was a battlebot it needs special modifications. Just as Dr.
Hope is finishing up this statement Gayak bursts into the lab asking
for you.
Gayak has a request for you; he wants you to help provide crops for the
Spring Festival that the village is holding two more Sundays from now.
He specifically asks you to grow some different kinds of crops besides
potatoes and turnips since that what his farm can provide. In addition
to this information, he delivers some more seed bags...three more in
fact! He will also provide you with a spaken new harvest basket!
Excellent! This brings your total number of bags to 6 now! WhooHoo!
Gayak also suggests that providing crops for the festival may make the
townsfolk respect you more and thus they will be more inclined to fix
the north bridge for you! He then asks you if you understood everything
he said, say YES to continue or say NO to have him repeat his request.
Well that’s something you can look forward to at least! I believe I
asked you to start planting different crops previously to this so you
should already have a jump start on growing those new crops!
You should also have enough money to buy a hammer by now so I would
suggest you go and purchase one while you’re here in town if you
haven’t done so already. You’ll need it in the upcoming days. (Hint,
hint ;)
*****************************************
Monday, Spring 15 - Saturday, Spring
*****************************************
In these up coming days you’ll want to focus on making sure you get all
those different crops planted and harvested this week and the next so
that they make it in time for the festival. It shouldn’t be too hard to
grow at least one plot of 3x3’s for each of the 6 different types of
crops...right? If you have some spare land (or time ^_^) you should
consider planting some flowers as they look aesthetically pleasing and
they sell for a decent amount as well ^_^
Let’s try to some up for a scale pack this week if you can so that you
can start collecting mushrooms.
*****************************
Sunday, Summer 21
*****************************
Just like always, once you’re done with your morning chores, head over
to Dr. Hopes house for your weekly inspection. After you step in the
shine pod and everything checks out, the doctor will comment that it’s
certainly been a hot summer and he doesn’t envy you for having to work
in the fields. (Lazy...good-for-nothing...) AHEM! Anyways, Masami will
enter just as you were about to leave. Apparently the doctor was
expecting her and she comments that she’s got something to ask of you
as well as a story to tell.
Seems as though the rumors about the volcano erupting were actually
true, though no ones knows just when it will blow. Also, some
corporation (by the name of Banks) is starting to begin construction
soon...a double blow indeed!
Masami wonders if you’ve already seen the old woman (hermit) over by
the mermaid lake (which you have at this point...right?!?) Then she
goes on to tell you that there are three spirits that live on the
island and they are the Water, Forest and Fire Spirits. The anger of
the Fire spirit is what is threatening the volcano’s impending
eruption. But Masami is certain that the other two spirits (Water and
Forest) are happy that you’ve been trying to restore the ruins.
However, she continues to say that the Fire spirit’s anger has been
provoked in such a manner that it can only continue to grow stronger!
It’s her belief that the only way to stop the Fire spirit is the Water
spirit. At this point Masami gives you a  making this your
4th red jewel and at this point. Masami wants to you to open the red
sealed door that’s currently locked at the entrance of the Easter
Ruins. She states that deep inside the ruins is a Crest of the Water
Spirit which you must then later bring to the hermit by the mermaid
lake. Dr. Hope at this point places the red jewel into your item box
back at your farm.
Dr. Hope further explains that Masami is a descendant of the original
Easter people. He goes on to tell a story about the Easter people. He
says that a long time ago the Easter people wanted to defeat their
enemies (the Volcano people) so badly that they went and stole the
Water spirit’s crest in hopes to use its power against their enemies.
They tricked the Forest spirit into letting them enter the mermaid lake
tower and took the crest from there. However, being as they were only
humans, they could not control the power of a spirit crest. The three
spirits sealed off the land and since the Easter people were
farmers...they couldn’t harvest from the land and eventually died off.
The Water spirit sealed the Forest spirit for allowing humans to trick
him. He concludes with his apparent guilt for having to rely on you to
save the island.
There nothing more for you to do here, speaking with the Dr. only
repeats the legend and Vita never has anything new to say except that
the family’s cat has been under the weather due to the heat.
At this point you can continue the day, mining, fishing, and
farming...whatever your daily routine is. BUT don’t forget, once you
arrive back at your farm; make sure to pick a new plot of land to
release and place the four red jewels just like before. Tomorrow starts
your adventure into the Easter Ruins!
*****************************
Monday, Summer 22
*****************************
Alright people are you ready to continue exploring the Easter Ruins?
After you wake up don’t forget to go up to your farm to watch the
unlocking of your new red farm plot! Also, just because this is an
exploration day, doesn’t mean you can forget about your crops and
animals! Make sure you take care of them first before exploring!
Once you’ve taken care of your farm and animals, use your elevator to
go down to the ruins entrance. Walk around the other side of the
elevator and enter the newly unlocked red door. Once you’re in this new
area, you’ll notice that there are 4 doors to open here...2 on your
left hand side and 2 on your right hand side. Unfortunately, the upper
right door is locked by an orange seal...Looks like you’ll have to come
back later once you’ve collected 4 orange jewels. The other 3 doors
however are free to open and explore.
You can explore the cave at your leisure, though it shouldn’t take more
then 2 days max to accomplish (One day if you’re really fast!) Below is
a complete list of all the items you can acquire in this cave via the
three open doors excluding the orange sealed door.
[] Easter Hammer (level 2 hammer)
[] Purple Jewel
[] Purple Jewel
[] Red Jewel
[] Red Jewel
[] Red Jewel
[] Green Jewel
[] Orange Jewel
[] Orange Jewel
[] 999g
[] Angel Ribbon
[] Water Crest
Make sure to try and find everything this cave has to currently offer!
Tomorrow we’ll go and present the Water Crest to the hermit at the
mermaid lake!
As an additional note, try and squeeze in some time to watch the
cooking life show on TV as this week’s episode discusses the joys of
baking oven dishes! Also on today are new episodes for “Where’s My
Mommy? A Kitten’s Journey” and “Final Z Rangers.”
*****************************
Tuesday, Summer 23
*****************************
Once again, wake up and take care of your farm and animals first! After
doing so head down your elevator to the ruins entrance and let’s get
going! You can either take your buggy or the raft to reach the hermit,
though as usual I would suggest your buggy as you will transverse the
distance faster but it’s up to your personal play style.
Upon reaching the hermits hut present the Water Crest to her and she’ll
give you the Forest Crest in exchange. Now we must visit the mermaid of
the mermaid’s lake! From the hermits hut, travel west (left screen)
until you reach a new area. This area is filled with papayas and
bananas (as well as rambutans) but that’s not why we’re here. Continue
traveling west (left screen) winding around the various paths here
until you reach another area. This new area is smaller and holds some
more papaya trees as well as cacao trees, if you haven’t picked any I
suggest you do so while you’re here to complete your item list.
When you’re done with that, head to the base of the lake and head as
close to the water as you can while pressing the triangle button until
you see the mermaid appear. Once she does you’ll present her the Forest
Crest the hermit just gave you and she’ll inform you that she’ll clear
the mist blocking the way in the giant’s forest. WooHoo!
Since it’s probably late in the day today, head back to your farm and
get some rest. Tomorrow we’ll go and explore the newly opened path into
the Giant’s Forest! However, if you wanted to make another brief stop
along the way back by the hermit she’ll present you with some
interesting news. It seems as though there is hope for the island after
all...that is...if you can calm the Fire Spirit’s rage. Seems as though
you’ll need to get the Fire Spirit’s crest and place it on the Altar of
Ice but since we have no clue how to obtain either of those items right
now all we can do is speculate.
*****************************
Wednesday, Summer 24
*****************************
Wake up and take care of what you need to on your farm. When you’re
done head done to the ruins entrance and head over to the raft this
time (taking the buggy will only take you out of the way today and you
can’t use it past a certain point in the forest anyways...) Walk
yourself over to the path leading into the cave that was earlier
cleared by the hermit. Once in the cave, head north and take the stairs
down to reach the Giant’s forest!
Once here, you’ll right away notice two treasure chests across the
fallen log. Opening the right most chest will yield the level 3
watering can - The Monsoon Watering Can. However, when you try to open
the other chest you get a message saying that’s its held shut by a
mysterious force...Looks like we’ll have to come back here later to
open it.
Continue heading north deeper into the forest and enter a new area. In
this area you’ll notice two harvest sprites standing here. Speaking
with them informs you that they are the Nature Sprite of Knowledge and
the Nature Sprite of Friendship. They’re currently lost in this forest
and are unable to find their way out because the Nature Sprite of
Memory is currently no where to be found! Incidentally, don’t bother
trying to open any of the other chests in this area...they are all
sealed tight by the same mysterious force sealing the previous chest
back by the fallen log. However, concerning the missing sprite, I think
the hermit should know something seeing as though she seems
knowledgeable in all things spirit related.
Head back to the hermit today if you still have time and listen to what
she has to say. She informs you that she already knows the Memory
Sprite will not appear and implies it’s because of something that she
did. She says that he might show his face if he sees people being
happy. Then she tells you that she’ll be waiting for you in the
mermaid’s tower and leaves (through the wall! anyone else think that’s
a bit...unnatural?). If you leave and then re-enter the hut you’ll
notice that she also took her four blue jewels with her.
What a mystery! Looks like we’ll have more investigating to do in the
days ahead. For now however, it’s probably really late in the day so
head home for now and we’ll pick this up later and by later I mean in
winter when we can cross the lake to reach the mermaids tower.
************************************************
Thursday, Summer 25 - Saturday, Summer 27
************************************************
Well, it’s back to the old farm routine. Harvest any crops you have and
make sure to take care of your animals. As a side note, if you didn’t
manage to get a chance (with all the running around we’ve been doing)
to collect any blueberries, they’re in season now so go and grab a few
for your crop list!
*****************************
Sunday, Summer 28
*****************************
Head over to Dr. Hopes after taking care of your farm and animals for
your weekly checkup. After everything checks out the Dr. will tell you
that an accident happened in the cave that held the spring festival.
Apparently some of the coolant leaked into the cave and is spreading
fumes everywhere. The Dr. then mentions that it would be best to keep
your distance from the cave for a while.
Talk to Vita and she informs you that Gallion had spoke with the Dr.
about how to get rid of the fumes. Apparently the Dr. had mentioned
that planting herbs might help clear the air in the cave. Why don’t we
head over to Gallion’s house and speak with him about this? Wait until
it’s 16 o’clock and then head into his house. His house is located
right behind Million’s supermarket.
Gallion will mention that he was as surprised as everyone about the
accident and continues to say that though the fumes aren’t toxic...they
sure do stink! (So THAT’S why no one really wants to go in there...)He
mentions that he asked his son Million to start stocking Earth Power
Sand and herbs so that you can start purifying the cave once again.
Since the store won’t have anything for sale at this time of the day,
you might as well head home.
*****************************
Monday, Summer 29
*****************************
Since we know that earth power sand should be in stock today let’s head
over to the supermarket and buy some up! Unfortunately, Million doesn’t
carry the herbs seeds we need to grow actually in his super market.
However, he did stock them for you to buy in your vending machines back
on your farm! You’ll need 25 of either a combination of Lavender and
Rosemary seeds...or simply buy all Rosemary seeds since they grow
faster then Lavender does (that’s 7 days for Rosemary and 10 days for
Lavender). That doesn’t mean you still shouldn’t drop in Million’s
store as he does carry earth power sand which is needed to make the
soil soft enough to be able to till. Make sure you buy enough earth
power sand to soften the earth (that’s 5 in all folks) and enough herb
seeds to last you through fall! Why so many you ask? Well another
unfortunate thing about these herb seeds is that even though they can
be purchased in your vending machine, they can ONLY be purchased during
the summer season...and they can be damaged during a storm even though
they’re inside a cave. And if you only bought enough initially and a
storm blows away your herbs and its autumn...guess what? You’re out of
luck until the next summer season when the herbs will be available
again! So DON’T FORGET to buy extra seeds (just in case!)
After purchasing the seeds from the vending machines on your farm and
some earth power sand from Million’s Store, head over to the cave and
begin softening the soil. Then plant your seeds and add a little water
and you’re done! for today at least... Don’t forget to make sure and
water these herbs until they mature and clear the air of the cave.
There’s no close spot to refill your watering can, so make sure to fill
it up before coming to the cave. You can go ahead and add this to your
daily duties check list now ^_^
Make sure to squeeze in some time to watch the final episode of Cooking
Life today as well as new episodes for Where’s My Mommy and Final Z
Rangers.
******************************************
Tuesday, Summer 30 - Saturday, Summer 34
******************************************
Just make sure, in addition to all your other farm chores, that you
don’t forget to water those herbs! Other then that, this week should go
by similarly as the others.
*****************************
Sunday, Summer 35
*****************************
After taking care of your farm duties and tending to those herbs in the
cave, head over to Dr. Hope’s house for your weekly checkup. The Dr.
mentions that he was under the impression that his cat was sick but it
looks like she turned out to be pregnant instead! Guess you can expect
a litter of kittens pretty soon ^_^ Wonder if he’ll let you keep some?
Other then this eventful news, nothing new happens today.
Also, make sure to find some time to watch Miss Cute, Witch in Training
today as this should be episode 10 for those of you that have been
watching regularly!
******************************************
Monday, Autumn 1 - Tuesday, Autumn 2
******************************************
With a new season comes new planting so make sure to sickle up any old
crops that are left hanging around (or get your robot to do it) and
start reforming your fields to make way for some new crops! There are
new seeds to be bought at both Million’s and your vending machine and
since this is the harvest season, there’s tons to choose from! Either
way, you should try to have at least one plot of eggplant to round out
another recipe on your cooking list...as well as one of plot of every
other crop (excluding flowers) to fulfill another objective for
completing Liberta’s dictionary (if you plan on completing it that is.)
Other then that you can treat these two days as any other. Just
remember to continue watering those herbs in the cave as it can get
pretty crazy with all the new planting you’re probably doing!
*****************************
Wednesday, Autumn 3
*****************************
If you’ve been watering those herbs in the cave everyday up till now,
when you enter the cave you’ll receive a message stating that the
noxious fumes have subsided. This will only happen today if you planted
only Rosemary in the cave, if you planted any Lavender you’ll have to
wait 3 more days to receive this message.
When you exit the cave, Marco will call out to you congratulating you
for planting the herbs and clearing the cave of the fumes. In fact,
he’s so appreciative that he asked Dr. Hope if he could borrow the
blueprints for Forte (the default name for your helper robot) so that
he could add a new feature to him! What a generous guy! Don’t worry if
you don’t see any changes in Forte today however, as it takes Marco the
entire day to finish the updates!
There’s a new autumn fruit ripening at this time; the pawpaw should be
ready for picking!
*****************************
Thursday, Autumn 4
*****************************
Today’s the day Forte’s upgrades should be completed! Take a look at
his new menu by scrolling over on screen (after selecting his icon on
your menu screen first) and you should see an entire new listing of
things he can now do! However, be careful when picking which upgrade
you want as it’s a one time deal and once picked your choice cannot be
changed for the entire day! There are four options that you can upgrade
and all are good candidates...pick whichever you feel fits best with
your play style! You’ll undergo the effect of whatever you picked for
an entire day. However, the next day the upgrade you choose the day
before will be temporarily undergoing maintenance and unusable for up
to 4 days (depending on the skill) so you’ll have to pick another
upgrade if you want to gain the added effects from it.
******************************************
Friday, Autumn 5 - Saturday, Autumn 6
******************************************
Just your normal day on the farm.
*****************************
Sunday, Autumn 7
*****************************
After taking care of your farm animals, it’s time once again for your
weekly check over at Dr. Hope’s place. Once you enter the Dr. lab, you
should notice right away that there are two new additions to the room
sitting in the basket to the left of your father. Looks like Dr. Hope’s
cat finally had her babies! Speak with the Dr. to begin your check up.
After everything checks out (as usual) the doctor will mention that he
has both good and bad news to tell you. The good news is his cat had
her babies (which you can already plainly see...) Dr. Hope mentions
that you may have one if you so choose and that the one you don’t pick
is going to be sent to a relative overseas so it’ll still have a good
home regardless. But he wants you to give it some thought before you
make a decision because you can’t change your mind once you’ve chosen!
Just as he’s about to tell you the bad news...Marcia burst’s in the
room and bluntly asks if the mother cat had died. (I’m guessing that
was the bad news...) Dr. Hope states that yes, his cat died just after
giving birth and he feels that the strain of giving birth at such and
old age just worn her out. Dr. Hope encourages both you and Marcia to
visit her grave. Marcia and you visit the grave site and Marcia begins
to cry. She comments that you’re strong for not showing emotion over
the loss but that she knows you’re sad.
It’s all too much for Marcia to handle and she runs off leaving you by
the grave. You feel something inside you stir after experiencing the
cats death and Marcia’s tears...you’ve just experienced true sadness.
Your human stats will yield a major increase. Love will increase by 15
points, Creativity will increase by 5 points and Humor will increase by
10 points.
At this point you can head back inside the Doctor’s lab and choose
which kitten you’d like to bring back home with you. You’re choices are
either the brown kitten on the left or the white kitten on the right.
Think of a good name for whichever you decide and congratulations,
you’ve received your final pet! You can head back to your farm now if
you which as the kitten will not appear at your farm until tomorrow.
**************************
Monday, Autumn 8
**************************
This is just another regular day to focus on your farm.
There are three new wild fruits blossoming if you want to go and
harvest from them; they include the olive, apple and chestnut trees.
**************************
Tuesday, Autumn 9
**************************
After taking care of your daily farm activates, head on over to
Million’s Supermarket for a special request. Speak with Nana (she’s the
lady with the teal hair) and she’ll mention that she really wants to
win at the mushroom festival this year but she’s not confidant that she
can with using her usual dishes. She asks you to collect Porcini
mushrooms for her and she mentions that they should be in season
tomorrow. She says that if you do bring her some of these mushrooms
that she’ll make sure to reward you. All you need to do is fill your
scale pack and bring them to the supermarket to deliver to her. She
further mentions that she requires 100g worth of these mushrooms. Guess
we’ll be picking mushrooms tomorrow eh? You can continue your day just
like always after speaking with Nana.
**************************
Wednesday, Autumn 10
**************************
After the usual chores, jump in your buggy and drive over to the
eastern mushroom forest to see if we can’t find any of these special
mushrooms Nana mentioned. Once in the eastern forest, follow the
winding trail as is wraps around to the far back of the area. You
should see several very tiny mushrooms that appear to be red capped. DO
NOT pick them at this stage as they are not yet fully mature. Let’s
come back in a few days when they’ve matured enough to be properly
picked. This day was simply to make sure you knew where to look for
them once they are ripened ^_^
