4) Animals, and how to get them :
Note : The Status screen in your house is your best friend for all animals.
It will tell you the development and health of every animal you have. Just
hit X facing your Journal, then select "Status".
Chicken - Either buy one (500 g) from Bob at the Brownie Farm or buy a fresh
egg (50 g) from Ronald at the Supermarket and place it in the incubator in
the Hen House.
To care for Chicken -
Sunny Day - Leave it outside all day (at the very least from dawn until dusk).
Pick it up and talk to it with SELECT button to find out how it is doing.
From adult chickens you will get an Egg. From really healthy chickens that
are outside on sunny days there is a chance that you will get a Gold Egg.
Rainy Day - Put it inside the night before it is going to rain. Feed it with
Chicken Feed bought from the Brownie Farm. Make sure you put the food in the
correct box for your chicken. Use the X button to see if the chicken's name
is on the feed box, then using Square fill the food box up. Do this for every
chicken you have. Pick it up and talk to it with SELECT button to find out
how it is doing. From adult chickens you will get an egg.
Cow - Buy it at Brownie Farm (2500 g) or get a baby from Cow Miracle Potion
(2000 g, Brownie Farm).
To care for Cow -
Sunny Day - Leave it outside all day. Talk to it with the X button and brush
it. You can milk adult cows. The size of the milk depends on how well you
care for your cow. If your cow is really happy there is a chance that it will
give either Gold or Large Milk. You can not milk Baby or Pregnant cows.
Rainy Day - Push it inside the night before it is going to rain. Talk to it
with the X button and brush it. Make sure to give Fodder to each cow. Use
the X button to see if the cow's name is on the feed box, and then put the
Fodder in. You get 1 fodder for cutting 3 pieces of grass in the pasture.
You can milk your happy adult cows. The size of the milk depends on how well
you care for your cow. You can not milk Baby or Pregnant cows.
Horse - Get it from Bob at the Brownie Farm. You must work Part-Time Job on
Sunny Days before 3 PM. Make sure to talk to and brush all 5 horses, talk
to, brush, and milk the Cow. Also go inside the barn and put fodder in all
the food boxes. When all the animals start to trust you, Bob will show up
at your house the next morning and give you a horse.
To care for Horse -
Sunny Day - Leave it outside all day. Talk to it while you are near the head,
and brush it. When you can ride it, be sure to whistle every day and take
him for a ride.
Rainy Day - Make sure to ride/push it into cow barn the night before it is
going to rain. Talk to it with the X button while near the head, and brush
it. Make sure to put Fodder in his food box. You can whistle for him and ride
him indoors for exercise.
Dog - Put any food (Very Berry is good) into the dog dish every day. When
you see a dog on your farm, approach it slowly. If it runs away fast, you
can't pick it up yet. It should take all of Spring and probably some of Summer
before the dog will let you pick it up. When you do pick him up, you can name
him. There are two different dogs, a big wolf-dog with a blue bandanna, and
a small bloodhound dog with a red bandanna. You can choose which one you want.
To care for Dog -
Sunny Day - Leave it outside all day. Pick it up and talk to it with the SELECT
button. Make sure to put food in the dish. When you can whistle for it, make
sure you do that every day. Also if you get a flute from Louis it can be taught
tricks...
Rainy Day - If you don't have a dog house, bring it inside your house the
night before it rains. Leave it in your house all day, but remember to still
put food in the dish. If you have a dog house, don't worry about it. Just
put food in the dish.
Tricks - The dog has a variety of tricks, depending on how many hearts it
has. Equip the Magic Flute and press Square. Hold X and press the directional
button to play the flute.
Sit - Up, Left, Down
Lay - Up, Down, Down
Heel - Left, Right, Right
Run - Right, Left, Right
Jump - Left, Up, Right
Up (Sit Pretty or Sit Up) - Down, Up, Up
Place your dog in the pasture with the cows and use RUN (Right, Left, Right).
Your dog will herd all the cows into the barn very quickly. This is very useful
if it is going to rain the next day.
---------------------------------------------------------------
5) Housing Extensions :
If you have enough money you can buy a house extension. Go to the Carpenter's
in Maple Forest early. It is closed on Tuesday and Thursday. Select BUY from
the options on the table/counter. You have two choices.
Kitchen 10,000 g. This comes with a bathroom, toilet room, and kitchen. The
kitchen part comes with an Oven, Pot, Frying Pan, and a Refrigerator.
Dog House 5,000 g. This is a small house for your dog. If you have this you
can leave him outside in the rain.
---------------------------------------------------------------
6) Growing and selling crops
To grow crops, first you need to till the soil near your house with the Hoe.
Buy seeds from the Florists. There are four kinds : Potato, Tomato, Corn,
and Breadfruit. Tomato, Corn, and Breadfruit are best because they have
multiple harvests per each seed. Potato only has one harvest and then you
have to replant it if you want more.
Plant the seed in the tilled soil only on a Sunny Day. It will help if you
make sure the next day is Sunny as well by watching the TV in your house.
It will help the crop even more if you check the calendar in your house and
make sure the weather is either Yellow (mild) or Red (hot) for the rest of
the week. If you plant it on a Rainy Day, the seeds will wash away.
Water the seeds with the watering can. Make sure to water every single crop
every Sunny Day. You do not have to water on a Rainy Day.
When the crop grows, harvest it. Place it in your rucksack with the L1 button.
Make sure to water renewable crops.
To sell it you must take it into town. Check the Places list to see which
places buy which produce.
To harvest fodder for your Horse or Cows, cut the long grass in the pasture
with your sickle. It takes three sections of grass to make one fodder.
---------------------------------------------------------------
7) Harvesting wild produce
There are many kinds of wild produce that grow around the town. The two best
places to look for wild produce are Walnut Forest and next to Clove (Dia's)
Villa.
Spring -
Very Berries
Herb
Medicinal Herb
Moondrop Flowers (Yellow)
Blueberries
Summer -
Very Berries

---------------------------------------------------------------
9) Daily Walkthrough + Nine ways to beat the game - Walkthroughs
Section A. - Daily Walkthrough
You start the game with some simple tools and potato seeds. How do you turn
that into a profitable farm? Here are some ideas.
First day - (1st of Spring)
Today is just a free day to meet the Goddess, the Harvest Sprites, and name
your character. NOTE : This day will automatically be skipped if you are
starting over. You will automatically start on the second day.
Check the weather. If tomorrow is going to be sunny, make sure you plant your
potato seeds today.
Run around town and meet everyone. Make sure to harvest some wild produce.
Buy an egg and place it in the incubator.
Make sure to put some food in the dog dish to attract a wild dog.
Write in your diary before going to sleep.
Every other day -
Wake up, check the weather.
Go outside. Put food in the dog dish, take care of your animals, water your
plants.
Check your inventory. If you have enough money to buy seeds or another egg
(if the incubator is empty), do so. Tomato and corn are the best things to
plant, as they have the highest profit margins.
Make sure you have enough fodder and chicken feed for your animals. At first,
just buy a tiny amount of chicken food in case it rains and you have to put
your chickens inside, and cut only a few pieces of grass to make fodder.
If the day is sunny, go to Bob's early in the morning and work for him all
day. Brush all the horses and the cow, and milk the cow. Put fodder in all
the stalls in the barn. You get paid 50g per hour, so try to stay on the farm
as long as possible. This is a fast way to earn a lot of money, plus you get
to keep the Milk from the cow. (The Size increases as you care for the cow
more, just as if it were your own cow!)
If the day is rainy, go harvest wild produce. You can sell it, or save some
to put in the dog dish. It's a good idea to do all your shopping on rainy
days, and you can sell your produce for money. Rainy days are excellent days
to give gifts to villagers.
At night, dig on your farm to find ores to sell.
If tomorow is going to be rainy, put the animals inside after the sun sets
and the music stops.
Write in your diary before going to bed.
Tons of money scheme -
Do your daily walkthrough as listed above.
Make sure you have a dog and the Magic Flute. This way you can keep your cows
outside and bring them inside with the dog trick RUN (Right, Left, Right)
if it is going to rain the next day.
Once you have enough money, buy a cow. Keep buying cows or making cows with
the cow miracle potion until you have five.
Buy a kitchen. You can turn Medium Milk into Yogurt, which sells for a lot
more than Medium Milk. You can turn Large Milk into Cheese, which sells for
a lot more than Large Milk. Once you have 5 cows that produce large milk,
you can get a maximum of 2500 per day from cheese.
Section B. - Endings Walkthrough.
Note : I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible. This is a listing
of all the crucial events on each path to beating the game. If the events
refuse to advance, keep giving presents to the people involved and give it
some time.
1) The Treasure Hunt I
Description : Shiver me timbers! Tim found a treasure map! He's always wanted
to be a treasure hunter, but who would have thought that a stash of treasure

Sacred Land in Praria Forest".
3) Talk to all the townspeople, the Sprites, and the Goddess about the Sacred
Land.
I'm having trouble finding the exact times for events to happen with this
ending. I THOUGHT you were supposed to bring your dog to Clove Villa on
Thursday around 2PM (when Tim is there). If you have beat the game in this
way, PLEASE contact me on how to get this ending.)

ending. I THOUGHT you are supposed to wine and dine Dia until she finds the
blueprints, but I AM NOT getting the events for this. If you have beat the
game in this way, PLEASE contact me on how to get this ending.)

in my game).
8) Either make (Goddess Lake) or wait for Louis (Cafe) to make the Moon Drop

---------------------------------------------------------------
10) Secrets + Playing Tips
Power Berry locations -
1) Cut down grass on your farm's pasture with the sickle.
2) Get from the Harvest Sprites after you become good friends with them. You
must have a dog. This is a cut scene that triggers when you come back to your
farm.
3) Fish this one from the lake.
4) Get from the Goddess. Give her a vegetable every day to become friends
with her. First, throw in a flower or something to summon her, make your wish,
then throw in a vegetable.
5) Dig it up in the Sacred Land of Praria Forest with your hoe.
6) Dig it up on your farm with your hoe.
Fix the weather -
When save your game, wake up, and the weather forecast for the next day doesn't
look good, just reset your game until the weather forecast changes.
Cheap Chicken -
Buy an Egg from Ronald at the Supermarket and place it in your incubator.
In a few days you will have a chick. Take good care of it and in a few days
you will have an egg laying chicken. You can use the eggs to make more chickens
for free.
Free fodder -
Accept the part time job from Bob at the Brownie ranch. After taking care
of the horses and the cow, go inside the barn. Go to the fodder spout and
take out fodder with the X button. Place it in your rucksack with the R button.
Choose your horse -
When working at the Brownie ranch, you can pick which color of horse you get.
Just talk to and brush the horse you want first every day you work there.
It might help if you talk to and brush the horse you want and ignore the other
horses a few times too.
Full Moon Berry -
Every other day in Fall, a Full Moon Berry appears behind the Cafe/Bar. Go
around to the side where the entrance to Katie's room, rotate the camera angle
with the right analog stick, and you should be able to see it. This is an
ideal gift for a girl.
Crops -
Don't plant a ton of crops. Only plant somewhere between 8-16. If you plant
too many crops, you will spend your whole day on the farm, which is not good
in this game. The idea is to Save the Homeland by becoming friends with
villagers and seeing different events.
Mini Games - Fishing, Time Attack, and The Magic Flute
Fishing -
Once you get a fishing rod, go to Walnut Lake. Stand on the shore of the lake,
make sure your fishing rod is equipped, hit SQUARE, then hold X until you
pull the fishing rod all the way back. Let go. There should be a something
near the end of your line (a shadow). Use the directional buttons and X to
hook the shadow. Once the shadow is hooked, you will see four arrows. Hold
the directional button of the arrow that is flashing while reeling with the
X button. If the fish jumps, quickly let go of both buttons, then press them
again once the fish stops jumping.
Time Attack -
After seeing two scenes where Bob and Gwen come to your farm, you can now
do the Time Attack. Go to the Brownie Farmer's store any day that it is open
and sunny. Talk to Bob from across the counter and choose "Time Attack" from
the menu. You go out to the racing track behind Bob's store. To get a fast
time, try to stay towards the fence on the right. Hold up on the straight
parts, and when you get to a corner, quickly veer to the right. Do this when
you race Bob and Gwen as well, making sure that they don't get on the inside
track.
To make your horse faster, ride him every day.
The Magic Flute -
For the Bluebird ending of the game, you must complete a mini-game with Louis.
This is probably the hardest mini-game in Harvest Moon : Save the Homeland.
The best advice I can give you is to stay calm. Louis will take you to Walnut
Lake to play the Flute together. Basically, all you have to do is hold X and
press the proper directional key for each colored note.
Up is Green
Left is Pink
Down is Blue
Right is Red
Press the proper directional key just as the music note passes over the left
side of your character's head.
You can keep playing all day to practice, and the reset your game to try it
again. Just keep practicing until you master it.

Q. What happens if you don't finish the game by Winter 30th?
A. You get a bad ending, but are allowed to save and start over again, just
as if you had gotten one of the "good" endings.
Q. I was working on a path to beating the game, and it stopped! Why am I not
getting events anymore?
A. Probably because you started getting events for another path. Don't worry
though, just keep giving gifts to the people involved in the path you were
originally on to beat the game. Also, you can not see some events for a path
and still beat it. Example : I only saw the events 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the
Goddess Dress ending, then events 7 and 8, and then events number 10 and 11.
So, even though I skipped events 6 and 9 I was still able to beat the game.
Q. My Chicken keeps getting sick. Why?
A. Because it is not eating. You must leave a chicken outside during a sunny
day until it goes to sleep for it to be full. When the Chicken is inside,
make sure you are feeding it in the right food dish. Use the X button while
facing the food dish to see if the Chicken's name is on it, then fill it up
with Chicken Feed.
