Credits Introduction Hello I'm Andrew, I just got this game a few days ago and I loved it, so I decided to write a strategy guide using my game and several Nintendo Power issues. Before you go out and buy this game a word of WARNING! This is for RPG and/or SIM lovers! RPG and/or SIM haters BEWARE! If you have never played an RPG before the RPG stands for Role/Playing Game. It means it's sort of a story game instead of all that action. And SIM stands for Simulation. A SIM is a realistic game where you have to make choices, work, and deal with disasters that may destroy something you are working on (example: A farm, fence, or animal). This was written in 1997 everything, below is updated. ENJOY MY STRATEGY GUIDE!!!! Andrew R Morozin {1} Beginners So you want to be a Farmer? Good! Now if you are a beginner to this game you will need to read the following sections before playing: 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 Have fun playing and read as much as you want! I don't advise you reading these following sections if you want to beat the game by yourself: 6, 7, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21 If you don't care about beating the game without a few tips read the whole thing! ALSO! If you are looking for information you can't find in this guide try the FAQ section! Send questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas to LoudKing@aol.com . Or IM me if you are on America Online. ______________________________________________________________________ {2} Story What's the point of your farming career? Well your parents are going away for 2 1/2 years (No not your REAL parents, your characters parents. If your REAL parents were going away there would be a big party) and you must find success, and if you believe girls have NO cooties (Which you should!) then you can marry one of the girls, and if you are good to them you can have babies. When your parents come back you can...oops. Check "Time, Days, and Seasons" for the list of endings. _______________________________________________________________________ {3} Guide to Girls Houses of the Ladies: Nina- Nina lives in the Flower shop with her mother Maria- Maria lives in the Mayors Mansion with her parents Eve- Eve lives in the Bar with the barkeeper Ann- Ann lives in the General Store with her dad Ellen- Ellen lives in the Restaurant with her parents What type of girl are the girls?: Nina- Nina is a plant lover.

Cake or flowers bought at the shop.) ______________________________________________________________________ {4} Quest For A Heart Have you ever had a girl come to your farm? No? That's because you need to have 5 hearts in her Diary. Here I'll tell you how to get to that point and what to do when it happens. How to get a Quest for a Heart: 1. Dance with her at a festival. (1 heart) 2. Give her a present then talk to her. (1 heart) 3. Go to the place she goes at Star Festival Night. (1 or 2 hearts) Flower Festival Perfumes(1 = loves, 2 = likes, 3 = hates): Nina: Likes all perfumes Ann: 1.Violet 2.Lilac 3.Rose Ellen: 1.Rose 2.Lilac 3.Violet Maria: 1.Violet 2.Lilac 3.Rose Eve: 1.Rose 2.Lilac 3.Violet How to dance: To dance talk to EVERYONE at the festival, then talk to the Mayor's Wife. She will move. Talk to the Mayor and say yes. Go pick a girl to dance with! The locations of the girl's on Star Night Festival: Nina-The Summit Ann-The SPA Ellen-The Public Square Maria-The Church Eve-The Bar The girl came, huh? You don't know how to help her? Well I can help you! Ann Ann lost her Chicken wind measurer! She comes and asks if you know where it is. Think for a moment. Where do you think it could have blown? Guess. It's in the Chicken Coop. Eve Uh oh! Eve's Grandpa is stuck in the cave! Ask the people in the forest how to save him. Get your hammer and go break the rocks in the cave then talk to Gramps. Ellen Ellen's P-Chan is missing! What's a P-Chan you ask? It's Ellen's pet bird, which she keeps hidden in her room in the back of the Restaurant. Hard to find the bird? You're asking the wrong people where it went. Perhaps you can ask the Fortune Teller or you can find out now by doing the same with two above. It's on the fence covering the Fisherman's Pond. Nina Oh no where is Nina? She's missing! She's stuck behind the rocks in the cave, grab your hammer and go save her. After destroying all the rocks give her an herb, trust me. Maria Oh no where is Maria? She ran away from home! Her parents are counting on you to find her! She is hiding in the Carpenter's house on the mountain. Ok well finally got them all! Now you won't be stuck with girls anymore, huh? ______________________________________________________________________ {5} Animals Animals: The second best thing about Harvest Moon. The only animals you DON'T have to take care of, is your pets, the dog and the Foal (the horse). The others you do. The cow and the chicken (No not the stupid cartoon). Here is information on the animals: Koro: Ellen gives the Dog the second day once you get out of the house so don't oversleep. You get to name this cute pup. Also the dog is good for scaring (and ARGH!) eating the moles that pop out of the ground and playing with the children (if you have any). What this dog is very useful for is it stops the Wild Dogs from breaking your fences at night. Or you can just keep him as a pet. If you want to get rid of him take him to someone else's house (they won't notice), the cave, anywhere EXCEPT the hen house and the cow keep. To work with the dog, keep in the house and when you go out to cut grass, dig the ground, or pick veggies take him with you to scare the moles. You can also make a cage out of fences on the farm if you want to keep him still. P-Chan: This is a very special bird. It is Ellen's pet bird, which she keeps in the back room of the restaurant. If you push A on it's glass case you hear it chirp. Nothing else special. Birds: These just fly on by sometimes. Most of the time they're in front of your house and they scatter when you run at them in the morning. It does this by itself. Moles: These funny but annoying critters pop-up when you start planting seeds. To get rid of them put them near the dog they'll get so scared they'll even dig under the wood if you're in the house. Chicken: The chickens should be your first-bought-animal. When you get your first chicken get your hammer and smash the Chicken statue in the T path outside your farm. Cut grass in, Spring, Summer and Fall. And when winter comes, buy a bag of chicken feed at the livestock store in case you run out of grass. It takes 1 day to get an egg from a store bought chicken. Eggs sell for 50 G. It takes about 6 days to breed a full chicken and get eggs. Special Tip: By one chicken and breed the rest by putting an egg at a time in the breeding nest. Cow: Cows are the best animals in the game. You get to pet them and talk to them, and get a lot of milk, which means you sell them and get ALOT OF MOOLAH! When they get sick (Don't let them get outside when it rains) but if it does get sick get the needle at the Livestock store for 1,000 G a pop. Cut grass in the spring, summer and fall and when winter comes get a bag of cow feed (Just like chickens). When your cow matures buy a milking machine and milk, milk, milk, MILK! And put the milk in the shipping box in the cattle shed. And save one bottle for Ellen. It turns her on, yeah baby YEAH! ;) Small Milks last 3 days and can be sold for 150 G. After 3 days of a finally mature cow you get Medium Milk which can be sold for 250 G. When your cow is finally mature you get a Large Milk which can be sold for a whopping 350 G! Don't sell that cow! Special Tip: It's smart to buy all your cows because breeding cows takes WAY too long. If you're going to breed make sure it's just once and just for fun. Foal: You find the foal (horse) the first day of winter in the T path outside your farm. You don't need to cut hay for it or feed it in any other way, either. You get a saddle and saddlebags from the General Store owner when it matures. Saddlebags are like the shipping box. You can put veggies in the saddlebags and save a ton of time. Put the fruits and herbs you get from the forest in the main shipping box outside of the house. Rabbit: You can save the rabbit from the Hunter (Eve's grandpa) in the winter near the herb cave. To save it say let it go and say you'll pay 1000 G (You won't lose anything). The Hunter will say you have a big heart and let it go for free. Butterflies: These just fly on by. Don't mind them any. Squirrels and Rabbits: Don't mind these they just run by in the Mountains sometimes. Just like how the butterflies just fly on by. Wild Dogs: You never see these pesky pests. But you hear them in the night sometimes. They come to bother the cows and kill chickens if you leave your animals out. And they also break your fences. How to prevent this: Keep your animals in the cattle shed and chicken coop and keep your dog outside at nighttime. Frogs: These just come out some times when you reap grass. Don't mind them any. Prices for Animals: Koro (Dog)- Ellen gives it to you for free the second day you come out Chicken- 1,000 G or free if you reproduce (I recommend reproducing) Cow- 5,000 G or free if you reproduce (I recommend buying) Foal- Find it in farm free the first day of Winter Rabbit- Free _______________________________________________________________________ {6} Tools Watering can: The watering can must be used in a water pit and then on some seeds in the ground (You don't need to water grass). Grass Seeds: Very expensive all you have to do is buy them, dig away ground, throw the seeds and it grows by itself. Normal Ax: The normal ax takes 6 swings to chop up a stump. It takes about 18 to chop away a whole tree. Normal Hammer: It takes 6 pounds to break up a boulder, and 1 pound to break a regular rock. Sprinkler: My opinion I think the watering can is better. If you use the watering can you get more vegetables. When you get married THEN buy a sprinkler. Turnip Seeds: Though not as good as potatoes it does grow faster. Turnips grow in 4 days. Potato Seeds: Better than radishes, though grows longer. It grows in 6 days. Tomato Seeds: Better than Potatoes though it also grows longer. It grows in 10 days. Corn Seeds: Yes, yes this is the last time. Better than Tomato seeds though it grows longer. It takes a WHOPPING 13 days to grow. Normal Hoe: Hoes dig the grounds so you can plant seeds. Hoes are also good to find Moles, money, and other surprises. Normal Sickle: The Sickle cuts grass. That's all it just cuts grass. Needle: The needle is used to cure sick cows. Cow feed: The cow feed is used to feed your cows in winter or if you don't have grass. Chicken Feed: Same as cow feed. Milker: The milker milks your cows when they mature. Remember to talk to them, and if you don't have a brush get one. Brush: The brush is used to brush your cow and keep her happy. Paint: Paint is used to paint your house. Bell: The bell is used to herd your cows. This tool is useless. You only need it when you have to sell a cow. Golden Ax: Better than the normal Ax you get it from the Golden Pond in the Mountain. Golden Hammer: Better than the normal hammer, you can get it for lending your normal hammer to the Carpenter. Golden Hoe- Better than the normal hoe you get it for feeding the starving dwarf. Golden Sickle- Better than the normal sickle you get it for complimenting the sickle to the dwarf when the tree in your field turns hollow. Where to buy these tools: Watering can- Get it free from the Flower Shop lady. Grass Seeds- Grass seeds can be bought at the Flower Shop for 500 G. Normal Ax- The normal ax is in your shed at the beginning of the game. Normal Hammer- Same as normal ax. Sprinkler-The sprinkler can be bought at the General Store.

Paint- Get it in the General Store for only 2,000 G after you remodel your house 2 times. Bell- Get it for buying your first Cow. _______________________________________________________________________ {7} Time, Days, and Seasons Time: Days only last 2 minutes and 45 seconds. If you don't want to be late for your wife you should have already enlarged your house so press select and check the time. Also here's a tip. Your wife goes to bed at 6:00. Go home at 5:00! And don't get so frantic, time stops when you step inside! This works everywhere but tunnels and the cave. You must be inside a building to stop time. Days: You can have off on rainy days if you want. Also if you want to win Maria's heart go to church every Sunday. It wouldn't hurt to take a few seconds off to visit her on Saturdays either. Also Ann and Ellen go to church on Sunday too unless it rains. Special Holidays: Flower Festival- 23rd of spring The Flower Festival is where you can buy perfume and dance. Talk to all the girls before you choose one to dance with, don't be shy because they'll all say yes. They were programmed that way. Plus you can buy special seeds from the beggar here. Harvest Festival- 12th of fall Everyone is required to bring a food to the Festival. If you're too greedy to share your egg pick a non-poisoned mushroom in the mountains. You dance here too. The Egg Hunt- 20th of fall The Egg Hunt is a contest where you have to find eggs (Gee really?). If you win the first year you get a charm which prevents too much damage against natural disasters. If you win the second year you get a Power Fruit. Thanksgiving- 10th of winter Thanksgiving is the day all the hard working farmers are rewarded with cakes. If you are dating a girl a lot you will probably not get cakes from other girls. You'll get cakes from girls with 3 hearts or over in their diary. Star Festival- 24th of winter The Star Festival is a romantic holiday when you can make your move on one of the girls in town. Find out where the girls go from the Fortune Teller or my "Quest for A Heart". New Year- 1st of spring New Year is the day everyone goes to the Mountain to celebrate the upcoming year. Talk to everyone before the Mayor's wife let's you leave. SEASONS Spring: Spring is the Season you should be feeding and taking care of your animals in the morning, picking Berries or herbs in the mountain at the rest of the day, and planting and watering at night. Summer: Summer is the Season you should be feeding and taking care of your animals in the morning, picking herbs or summer fruits in the mountain at the rest of the day, and planting and watering at night. Fall: Take care of the animals in the morning and pick poison mushrooms the rest of the day. At night you can relax and go to the bar if you haven't before. Winter: In winter, you have nothing else to do but feed your animals in the morning, pick herbs in the mountain cave, and talk to everyone in town. Winter is a good season to get married. Game Endings: Sit around and talk to your dog until your parents, come home- BAD ENDING Don't talk to anyone in town but grow some crops- LITTLE BIT BETTER Don't talk to anyone but become a millionaire- BETTER Become a millionaire and marry 5 times- BETTER, BUT YOU'LL BE A SNOB Become a millionaire and date one girl- EVEN BETTER Get married- GOOD Get married and have babies- REALLY GOOD Become a millionaire get married and stay married- VERY GOOD Become a millionaire get married stay married and have babies-SECOND BEST!

Grow a lot of one vegetable and you'll have a scene of you taking care of that certain vegetable. If you have one certain really happy cow you'll have a scene of you taking care of it. If you have 12 cows you'll get a scene of you outside chillin' with all the cows. If you're married you'll get a scene of you and your wife. If you have babies you'll get a scene or scenes with you playing with them. If you're married with at least two kids, all happy Flowers, 12 large cows and 12 chickens, with a VERY high happiness score, you'll get the best ending. Especially if you're a millionaire. How to instantly see the ending look for the code in the Codes section of this guide. _______________________________________________________________________ {8} Settings Farm: 1.House- This where your day begins and ends.

Be very nice to them and they'll give you a golden sickle and a golden Hoe. If you want to get the Golden Sickle, farm until one day you go outside and a Hillbilly will tell you he heard a very strange noise coming from your farm. Then find the tree (There's two) that split open, and jump inside. You will find some dwarves. Go up to one and he will ask if you like your sickle, and say "Very Good!". He will then fix it and make it golden (it takes a day). If you want a golden Hoe, farm until an Autumn day there's a starving Dwarf outside, go to the mountain and pick a mushroom (not poison), and he will make you a Golden Hoe (this also takes a day). Make a wish: If an earthquake ever struck it might clear the big boulders that are blocking the way to the Golden Pond. It is rumored that if you throw something in the pond and tell the truth you are rewarded for your honesty. I don't know if you heard this rumor but that sounds like another game to me. If you throw the Axe in the pond and say you didn't throw it in you might get a golden axe. "Jack" and the Beanstalk: Once you get a cow you can go to the livestock dealer and choose to sell your cow. Go get your cow and put her in the livestock shipping area. A guy will try to sell some "beans" for a cow. I advise you choose to trade him the cow. Go to the Summit and plant the beans. Wait until Sunday and go back. "Jack" will climb the beanstalk and guess what you find!? A Golden Chicken! Grab the Golden Egg and sell it to the peddler at the Public Market in town. You will get 10,000! Enough for two new cows! Goodbye baby cow hello two baby cows! Something Fishy: The local fisherman has a lot of strange stories of a Spirit of Water Imp. They might be true...or he might have had a lot of "Grape Juice". But even though he IS drunk they are true. Throw your first caught fish back in the pond for a prize. Then the rest of the times just keep the fish. Money Tree: The Hawker will come one time a year trying to sell a "money tree". It is 20,000 G and well spent if you're rich. This tree actually grows into a Bell Tree, which calls your cows without using the bell if you leave your cows outside. _______________________________________________________________________ {13} $hopping and $elling Here is where all the prices of buying items and selling.

Got some grass seeds and a watering can! Tuesday 2nd of Spring- Went to store and bought radishes. Went home and planted grass and radishes. Cleared my whole field in one night! Wednesday 3rd of spring through Saturday 6th- Went to mountain and picked Wild Berries and herbs. Bought more seeds when I could. Watered plants at night. Sunday 7th of Spring- Harvested first radish crop! I'm going to grow potatoes for now on. I'm saving up for cow. Monday 14th of Spring- Bought first and only chicken, I'll raise the rest. I have a field full of potatoes now. Friday 18th of Spring- Used revenue from potatoes to buy a cow! I bought a brush but I'm going to wait until my cow matures before I spring for a milking machine. Tuesday 23rd of Spring- Today was the Flower festival, but I didn't spend too much trying to impress people. One bottle of perfume is good enough, and I'm saving up for another cow. Wednesday 1st of Summer- Went to Flower Shop and bought corn and tomato seeds. Stayed up late to water every seed I bought. Friday 3rd of Summer- Went to Flower Shop and bought a ton of grass. Friday 10th of Summer- Harvested first tomato crop. Watered the plants I picked so I'll get another batch soon. Monday 13th of Summer- Harvested first corn crop. Also my tomatoes are ready to pick again! I'm spending all my daylight hours in the field. Tuesday 28th of Summer- It's almost the end of the season, and I have more crops than I can possibly pick in a day. Since corn is my biggest cash crop in the field, I'll pick all of it before I harvest my tomatoes. Wednesday 29th of Summer- Bought a lot more grass. Thursday 30th of Summer- The shipper collected the last harvest of the year. I gave all my remaining vegetables to Eve (or someone else at the Bar). I think she really likes me! Friday 1st of Fall- The harvest is over. I'm selling most of my chickens to add more revenue and save grass to buy more cows. Thursday 7th of Fall- In the mornings I take care of my animals and the rest of the day I pick poison mushrooms in the Mountain. At night I cut grass. Monday 11th of Fall- Found a Moon Flower today! I sold it for 600 G! Tuesday 12th of Fall- Today was the Harvest Festival! I saved money by just picking a mushroom in the Mountain. Sunday 1st of Winter- Snow blankets all of my fields and I can't harvest any more grass until spring. I own 12 cows, which means I need 360 bales of grass to feed my herd this winter. I sold all of my chickens to cut down on the feed consumption. Found a foal today! Tuesday 2nd of Winter- I take care of my animals in the mornings and the rest of the day I collect herbs and put them in the shipping bin. Saturday 7th of Winter- There was an earthquake today! My farm is a mess and I'll spend all my evenings mending fences, but I did find a shortcut to the forest cave. All I had to do was tell the truth! Monday 30th of Winter- Tomorrow is the first day of spring, and I'm ready to have my most profitable season ever. After the New Year's celebration, I'll run to the Flower Shop and buy enough potato seeds to keep me planting until summer. _______________________________________________________________________ {15} Do's and Don'ts Most of the Do's are just optional and a very good idea. Do's: Do get married Do have kids Do give your wife daily gifts Do clear your field Do buy animals Do feed animals daily Do pick fruit in the Mountain Do plant vegetables Do make all your tools golden Do find secret items Do water plants daily Do keep dog in house or out (You choose) Do keep animals in the Chicken Coop and Cattle Shed Do buy important tools Do buy seeds in Flower shop when needed Do grow grass Do cut grass Do remodel your house 2 times Do chop wood when needed Do repair fences when needed Do repair fields when needed Do wait for Shipper at night when you put items in the bin Do go home right after the Shipper when you are married Do visit your girlfriend if you're not married Do go to festivals Do win Easter egg hunt Do dance with girlfriend on some festivals if not married Do dance with wife on some festivals Do plant important seeds Do grow all happy flowers by eating all power fruits Don'ts: Don't cheat on your wife Don't stay up late when married Don't eat poison mushrooms Don't eat Moon Flower Don't put dogs near chicken Don't put moles near cows Don't put dogs near cows Don't put moles near chicken _______________________________________________________________________ {16} Bugs and other Strange stuff Yes Harvest Moon does not have perfect programming but it's still a great game. Text Bug: The text bug sometimes puts words somewhere else or just forgets the words all together, but don't worry you hardly see the text bug and if you do you still can read it, it's readable just messed up a little. Chickens want doggie tonight! Doggie tonight!: If you put your dog on top of a little chicken say goodbye, because believe it or not, the chicken will EAT your dog. Sounds gross, but funny. Leave and re-enter the dog will be back, but the chickens won't be happy. Don't save afterwards. This only works if you put the dog on top of a chick not a full grown chicken. Mischief Night: If you leave an egg in your chicken coop until night pick it up and go to town, you can egg houses! Did a girl in town dump you? Well it's perfect pay back! They won't know who did it! Goodbye doggie!: You hate your dog? Well you can ditch him, you know. Just pick him up and put him wherever you want. Place him in the cave on the mountain, EVEN in the restaurant. The restaurant owners won't say a thing. That way Ellen can keep the dog and she won't even notice him. Also you can put him ANYWHERE you want. Just DON'T put him near any of your cows or chicken. That's bush in your face!: Has a girl in town dumped you? Well go pick up a bush in the forest and give it to her. She deserved it! Too slow Bug: Here's a very annoying bug. If you have a lot of cows or chickens you go pretty slow. You can have them outside and make you really slow while you're trying to pick…or save time and keep them inside and don't waste a second…you're choice, but I picked the cattle shed and chicken coop, it's just a bug...you still get things done. I just want my berry and chicken!: This bug is a real pain. Various things happen when you break the chicken statue after you buy a chicken to get a Power Fruit. This here will tell you all the signs and help you avoid them. List of happenings 1. Chicken disappears and you get the Power Fruit. 2. Chicken goes on top of the statue's stand and you hold the Power Fruit but cannot eat it or drop it. 3. Chicken goes on top of you and you can't put it down to eat the Power Fruit. 4. The Chicken goes on the ground while you hold the Power Fruit. When you drop the Power Fruit it disappears and when you pick up the Chicken you eat it. 5. The Power Fruit goes at the top of the screen and you can't reach it. How to avoid above 1. Eat the Power Fruit leave the screen and re-enter and get your chicken. If this does not happen reset the game and try again. 2. Reset and try again. 3. Reset and try again. 4. This is disgusting. Reset and try again. 5. I advise you resting and try again since the Power Fruit's are very important in the game. Mmm...Mole. Now that' goood eatin'!: On the day of the Harvest Festival, find a mole in the ground and take it to town. Ellen's mom...will cook it for you...and you'll eat it! Mmmmmm...mmm! Yum. If you put a chicken in the shipping area for animals, buy a cow, and, of course sell a chicken you run the risk of there being two merchants at your farm (twins? I think not!). Once I sold my chicken to the second one which appeared the game was appeared to freeze though the music continued. The only solution I've come across is the old 'reset and try again'.

Not quite perfect as it will glitch out once in a while in the mountains and you can't walk across plowed fields. Use it to get the gold axe in the very beginning. Regular Codes See the Ending: To see the ending when you shouldn't just do the following: Hold in L, R, START, and SELECT when you are sleeping. You will see the ending that you would get if the game were to end right there. Instant Baby Cow: To get an instant baby cow you first need a full grown cow, miracle potion, and some cow medicine. Go up to the full grown cow and use miracle potion. RIGHT after the miracle potion use the cow medicine...in about two days you will have a baby cow instead of waiting a season or half!!!! _______________________________________________________________________ {18} How to get the Best Ending How to get married: Now first you are going to have to pick a girl. To choose go to the "Guide to Girls" section to find the number look it up in Contents. Second you are going to have to talk to her as much as possible. Buy her perfume at the Flower festival and dance with the person you chose every time you can. Find out from the fortune teller or look in Guide to Girls to find out where she goes at the Star Night Festival then go where the girl you chose is. Third remember to remodel your house two times. In winter go to the peddler on a Saturday and buy the blue feather. You must have at least 5 hearts in the diary of the girl you have chosen. Then go to the tool shed and equip the feather. Bring it up then go to your girlfriend and press Y on her 1 or 2 times. You then should be married! For help on girls and getting married go to "Guide to Girls" and "Quest for A Heart" How to stay married and get kids: Talk to your wife every day! Give her at least 2 presents a day (Milk, eggs, flower, food, cake, herb, etc…) And talk to the fortune teller or read Guide to Girls to find out what presents the girl you chose doesn't like. Never flirt with any other girls. And never be late! Always get home before 6 o' clock. To do a fast job in the field you'll need a Sprinkler to get home early. Always remember to hold, pick up, and play with your child a lot! Complete Folk Tales: Read the "Folk Tales" section or find out and do it yourself. Share your toys: The Carpenter will come one day and ask for your hammer. GIVE IT TO HIM! If you don't you won't get the Golden Hammer. One day the Fortuneteller's granddaughter will ask for an egg. You won't get 50 G but it will be nice to give it to her. And she'll thank you later. Make sure you always have at least 1 chicken on your farm! If there are more things to share, and remember I already wrote up the Folk Tales section, tell me and I'll post it up. Grow all your Happy Flowers: First things first, the only way to grow Happy Flowers is to eat Power Berries. Below are all the locations. I'm going to be nice and put all the locations and how to get all the Happy Flowers 1. Plow your field. I advise you to use the Golden Hoe for this. 2. Chop all Tree Stumps on Mountain. 3. Sell a Chicken to the Hawker in Fall 1st or 2nd year. 4. Bring fish or a moon flower to the Harvest Festival. 5. Break the Chicken Statue with the Golden Hammer then put a Chicken near it. Eat the Power Fruit, to get help with bugs go to the "Bugs and strange Stuff" section. 6. Win Egg Festival second year. Make sure you get Special Egg the first year. 7. Plant the Snow Flower (1st day of Winter) 8. After the rock falls in the Mountain chop the stumps near the flowers and fall in the hole. You will be in the cave, eat the Berry. 9. Ask the fisherman if you can fish. Then sit on the bench and fish until you, well, catch a fish. Then throw your first-caught fish back into the pond. Bingo! 10.Plow your field. It's good to use the Golden Plow to find this one. Do a good job: Ok you will need to get 12 Cows and 12 Chickens. How to get them? Buy a lot of radishes and potatoes and save up, of course! Remember to buy a Brush after the first Cow you buy! When your Cow matures you MUST buy a Milking Machine! Remember to get all the Golden Tools, and always have a Needle in your Tool Shed. Try to make a million dollars. Your own Dairy: To get the best ending remember to have 12 cows and 12 chickens and take care of each and every one! And when you're doing the Folk tale remember that if you have 12 cows sell a cow plant the beans then go buy Miracle potion! To get a very high happiness score remember to breed 1 cow! Then the next day, finish up your day, then at nighttime go to the Summit! Night will automatically turn to day and you'll get a day's profit AND 10,000 dollars for the Golden Egg! For info on the Golden Egg read folk tales! Get ALL Gold Tools. Here's how: Read the "Folk Tales" section. You should have it! _______________________________________________________________________ {19} FAQ This is it! If you e-mailed me a question the answer's in here.
