III. Note



*********

Attending festivals makes people like you more. Even if you don't win they willstill be happy with you for coming. If you do win they will like you even more.I know that some festivals, like the Swimming Festival, can get very tiresomeand annoying after a while but usually you'll get the hang of it once you knowwhat to do. I'm not going to repeatedly say that going to or entering thefestivals will raise your friendships -- that's why I'm telling you now.Remember that you won't be able to take care of your animals after festivalsthat start at 6PM or Midnight and you won't be able to save on those nightseither. Make sure you save the day before and take care of crops and animalsbefore you go. There are other Notes added to certain festivals and there arealso Fun Facts. Fun Facts are just little amusing things that you might nothave known you could do. Send me some if you find them. :)

IV. Spring Festivals********************

New Years Festival

------------------Go to either Rose Square or the Inn at 6PM on Spring 1st. Karen may come byyour farm before the festival to ask you to practice dancing with her. You havea choice of going to the Inn for a "party" with the adults or you can go toRose Square for a "bonfire" and dancing with the girls and your rivals. Youdecide. This festival doesn't happen on year one because you start the game onthe 2nd of Spring.

Note: Be sure to check your mailbox. Over the next few days you will getletters wishing you a good year from villagers who like you. If you're not surewho you still have to work on try writing down the people who send you lettersand give things more often to the people who don't send you anything.

Goddess Festival----------------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Spring 8th. On the 7th go talk to the girl youlike and you will be given the option of asking her to go to the festival withyou. You won't be able to go with anyone the first year because they will allmost likely still be at a black heart. If you ask anyway they will say no andapologize. They go with your rivals instead. But, if they like you, you can askthem and they will say yes. At 6AM she will be at your farm all dressed up andready to go. Take care of your animals and water your crops before you tell heryou're ready to go as you won't be able to do it afterwards. After the festivalshe will ask you if you want to go somewhere. Agree and you'll have a latenight talk in a secluded area before going home.

Girl - Where you go:Karen - BarElli - LakeAnn Waterfall/Goddess PondPopuri - BeachMary Flower Meadow

GS Codes for Red hearts with the girls (for all you cheaters who've been asking:p):Karen 800767A0 FFFF



Elli 80077298 FFFFAnn 80076EF0 FFFFPopuri 800786B4 FFFFMary 80077BBC FFFF Spring Thanksgiving Festival----------------------------Go give the girls cookies on Spring 14th. All the girls are expecting cookiesfrom you so if you give them something else they won't be very happy. Unlessyou have a Game Shark to get some cookies you won't be able to give them any onyear one. Also, if you don't have a kitchen or the necessary things you won'tbe able to give them any. But if you do have these things make cookies and givethem to as many girls as you can.

Note: They will only count once for each girl so don't waste cookies bygiving one girl more than one batch during this festival. Karen doesn't likecookies and if you give her more than one she won't like it.

I'll list the recipes.1) CookiesIngredients: Flour, Egg, Butter (use milk and the mixer to make butter)Utensils/Seasonings: Sugar, Oven, Rolling Pin*You can add honey.*

Horse Race----------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Spring 18th. Sometime during Spring year one youshould go by Yodel Ranch where Barley will give you a horse to raise. Take goodcare of it and get it to at least 8 hearts by the next Spring. Barley will comeback and give you the horse for taking such good care of it. If you don't haveat least 8 hearts he will take it away. Brush, talk to, and call your horse

everyday to make sure this doesn't happen. You can't enter the first yearbecause the horse is still too small to ride. That's okay you still need to go.Walk around and talk to the villagers. When you're done, talk to the Mayor overthe counter and you'll have the options of either buying a ticket or exchangingmedals for a gift.

Buy a Ticket: When you buy a ticket from the Mayor you're betting on that horseto win. The horse with the lowest odds is usually the horse that will win. Eachticket costs 50g. Don't spend all your money on tickets the first year, if youtake good care of your horse you can bet on yourself next year when you have



money to spare and win a lot.

Winning the Bet: If the horse you bet on wins you will receive medals based onthe number of tickets you bought for that horse and the odds that horse has ofwinning. (# of tickets x # of odds = # of medals won) Get it? Good.

Exchanging Medals: When you have enough medals you can exchange them for prizesby talking to the Mayor. You will get a chance to exchange them before andafter each race so it's best to wait until the third race is over to exchangethem. Here's what you can get...

Power Berry 1001 medalsBracelet 42 medalsNecklace 35 medalsEarrings 33 medalsTurobojolt XL 21 medalsBodigizer XL 15 medalsTruffle 12 medalsMystrile 3 medals

When you have your bets placed talk to Barley over the counter to start theraces.

Entering and winning the Horse Race: When your horse is grown you should ride

him around your farm as much as you can to make him faster. For winning therace you will get a picture to put in your house.

Fun Fact: Maybe not so fun but still interesting. During the races you will beable to see the villagers watching at the bottom of the screen. Notice how atthe start Rick is away from Karen and by the end he is standing right next toher. A little irritating if Karen's your girl.

Note: If you get your horse taken away you can get another one by planting alot of grass on your farm.

Cooking Festival----------------

The Cooking Festival starts at 10 AM on Spring 22nd. To go to this festivalsimply wait until 10AM and go to Rose Square. If, however, you want to enterthe Cooking Festival bring a dish you have cooked, when the Mayor asks if youhave brought one answer "yes" with it in your hands and he will take it. Thefirst year you won't have a kitchen but you can still enter by bringing a SpaBoiled Egg. If you're using a Game Shark you can enter and win the first yearwith a dish you've forced the game to give you. ;) What dish should you enter?I will list some.

Note: If you want to win you must add in some optional ingredients, the morethe better because the judge likes dishes with many different flavors.

1) Relaxation Tea

Ingredients: Relaxation Tea Leaves (Read the Harvest Sprites Tea Party)Utensils/Seasonings: Pot*There are many optional ingredients you can include to make this better. Forexample you can add blue, red or green grass, honey, fruits, milk, etc. If youadd fruits make sure to use the knife to cut them up. You can also add sugar.*

You'll get a Spa Boiled Egg in return if you've done itright. You can't win with this but you'll still be able to enter the contest.

V. Summer Festivals*******************

Swimming Festival-----------------Go to the beach at 10AM on Summer 1st to enter. If you've played HM64 this mayseem familiar to you at first. If only it were as easy as it was in HM64. Thisis one of the hardest festivals in the game, maybe even the hardest if youdon't have a proper strategy. Walk around and talk to the villagers. When

you're done talk to Mayor Thomas to start the race. Here comes the hard part.You need to have a strategy if you want to win. And you DO want to win becausethe reward is a Power Berry! Pay attention to your stamina, if you run out ofstrength you'll stop in mid-swim to rest and breathe. If this happens even onceyou have no chance of winning. The face in the speech bubble shows you whatyour stamina is at. If it gets to the red breathe! After red you go to bluewhich results in you stopping to rest. To swim press X repeatedly, to take abreath press triangle. I cannot stress enough that you MUST stop to breatheduring this race, you can't get to the end without doing it. That being saidhere are some strategies.



Strategy 1) Start off by pressing X quickly. As soon as the little yellow happyface changes to a dull yellow face with a "-" for a mouth press triangle untilyou go back to the happy face (full stamina). Yes, I know they are all leavingyou way behind but not to worry. Continue to do what I've told you until youget a little more than half way to the finish line. Kai will be close to thefinish line by now but he's tired and moving very slow so don't panic. Onceyou're half way to victory press X like crazy the rest of the way. No morestopping to rest at this point. You'll pass Kai, and everyone else, to thefinish line just in time to get your Power Berry. (This is how I won. I knowthere are more and possibly better ways out there so please feel free to sendin your own strategy to win and I'll add them giving you credit.)

Strategy 2) Press X and triangle alternately as fast as possible you shouldpull in the lead when Kai slows down. - Chronofan6

Note: You will have to practice a little before winning; don't be discouragedif it takes you some time to win. It took me almost 2 days (RL) of restartingthe day repeatedly.

Fun Fact: You can go fishing before you talk to the Mayor and time stands stillfor you. Don't leave to throw trash away or take your fish home, just keep itin your rucksack until the festival's over.

Sumo Chicken Festival---------------------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Summer 7th. Don't forget to bring your hen if youplan on entering. If you bought a chicken fairly early in Spring it should beold enough and have enough hearts to win even on the first year. Feed iteveryday, if you keep it outside in a pen make sure to scare away wild dogs ifthey come around, they can frighten or even kill your chicken, and never leaveit outside in bad weather. (I say just leave them inside year round but that'sjust me.) It may also help to pick it up and walk a little with it everyday.Doing this should get your hens hearts up in plenty of time. Pick the hen withthe most hearts (that hasn't already won) and talk to Rick to start the game.He'll explain the basic rules for you so I won't go into that. There are 3rounds, 1 being the easiest, 3 being the hardest. This festival is quite simple

to win if you know what you're doing. For a lower level hen, 5-8, wait for theopposing hen to jump in the air in an attempt to startle your hen. Once itjumps press X to jump right after it. Done correctly your hen will land afterthe other hen and it will be scared away. Make sure your hen is facing theother hen before urging it forward or you'll probably walk right out of thering. If both hens are near the outside of the ring you can still urge yourchicken on as long as the opposing hen is closer to the edge. Even if both hensgo outside the ring the one who goes out first loses. Only do this if you'rehen's facing it and the other hen is facing the edge of the ring people! For ahigh level hen, 9-10, you can jump right from the start and still frighten theother hen first. The opposing hen might even be scared out on the first try.For winning this festival your hen will lay golden eggs worth 150G! Very usefulthe first year when money is tight.

Tomato Festival---------------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Summer 12th. Food fight! In this festival you'llget to hurl tomatoes at villagers! Anyway, to win you and your other twoteammates need to hit all three members of the opposite team before they hityou. There are four teams to join. Talk to the villagers and they will ask youto join their team. If you say no they won't ask you again unless you restartthe day. Popuri and Ann have the best teams so join one of them if you want towin. After joining a team the game will start. Start off by pressing and



holding triangle to hide behind the barrel. You can either stay that way andlet your team finish off the others or you can get right in there and throwsome yourself with X. Hide by pressing triangle if one comes your way or you'llget hit and be out. Personally I just hide like a cowered until a) my teammatestake out everyone else advancing us to the next match (or winning) or b) myteammates get taken out and I'm left all alone forcing me to come out and tosssome tomatoes. Don't try to hit someone who is already out, it's pointless.There is a time limit to this. After the time's up whichever team has hit moremembers of the opposite team wins. If the number is the same after time has runout, as in 1 left for each team, or if the last two remaining hit each other atthe same time it's a tie and that round will restart. Popuri and Ann's teamsare also the hardest to beat in case you haven't realized. If you're the lastone left on your team and they still have 3 members you can beat them if youget lucky or if you have mad skillz, go ahead and try. :) For winning your teammembers will like you even more.

Cow Festival------------Go to Yodel Ranch at 10AM on Summer 20th. Talk to, brush, and milk (adult) cowseveryday to make their hearts go up. On days you can't take care of them askthe Harvest Sprites in advance to do it for you. Barley will come by your farmon the 19th to ask you if you want to enter a cow. If you do and it's an adultyou can enter it. If it's pregnant or not grown Barley won't take it. I doubtyou'll win your first year unless you bought your cow very early and have it up

to 10 hearts already. Unless you used a Game Shark you wouldn't be able toafford one for quite some time. Pick a happy cow with 10 hearts. Make sure ithasn't won before unless you only have one cow to choose from. Barley will takeit. On the 20th go to the ranch and talk to the villagers. When you're donetalk to Barley to start the judging. If it cuts to Barley saying the festivalis over you didn't win. If you do win he'll announce it and your cow will givegolden milk worth 300G.

Fireworks Festival------------------Go to the beach at 6PM on Summer 24th. You will find some villagers gatheredthere to watch fireworks. Talk to the girl you like and you will have an optionof asking her to watch them together. She will like you more if you ask her.

Also, if you go to the beach on Summer 23rd you can ask Kai to watch thefireworks with you during the festival. Doing this will make him like you more.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

VI. Fall Festivals ******************

Music Festival--------------Go to the Church at 6PM on Fall 3rd. On the 2nd Pastor Carter will come by the

farm to ask for your help with the Music Festival. Say "yes." Go to thefestival and he will give you an Ocarina to play. You and the girls willperform for the villagers.

Harvest Festival----------------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Fall 9th. The villagers get together and cook abig dinner for this festival. Everyone brings something to throw into a largepot so don't come empty handed. You can bring anything you want to throw in,even your dog, though you shouldn't. :) The outcome of the entire meal seems to



depend on what you alone throw in, better pick something good. Talk to thevillagers to hear what they have to say about the food. When you're ready talkto the Mayor and tell him you brought something to add. Go up and toss it in.Everyone will then eat. Talk to them to find out if they liked it, if theydidn't it's all your fault! :p Try to put something in that they will like. Iwill list some things they like and some they don't.

Likes:PineappleEggGreen pepperOrange cup fruitTruffleCarrotFruit JuiceFruit Latte

Dislikes:AppleHoneySweet potatoAny Grass (Red, Blue, Green)Popuri's EggFish

GarbagePoisonous Mushroom

Note: If you throw in your dog or a chicken they won't like it and it will begone for good. Only do it if you're planning on [email protected] says - If you put your dog in the hot pot most ofthe time you can get it back, just go to Rose Square the next day and it shouldbe wandering around there, same with the chicken. (I still don't recommend it.)

Fun Fact: You can fish in the hot pot once everyone has eaten, nifty isn't it?I don't think you'll catch anything though.ElCid828 says - I think all you can catch in the hot-pot is garbage.Ninja Hamster says - When you fish from the hot pot during the Harvest

Festival, you CAN get a fish from it.(*Shrug* I never caught anything but it's worth a shot I guess.)

Moon Viewing Festival---------------------Go to the peak of Mother's Hill at 6PM on Fall 13th. You will find the girl wholikes you most waiting for you. She'll want to watch the moon with you. Do soand she'll like you even more.

Sheep Festival--------------Go to Yodel Ranch at 10AM on Fall 21st. Barley will come to you on the 20thasking if you want to enter a sheep. Like the Cow Festival you need to have an

adult sheep that's not pregnant to enter. The sheep also has to have wool atthe time. It takes seven days to grow back after you cut it. Before sheeringyour sheep make sure it will grow back by Fall 20th, if there isn't enough timedon't sheer it!! Brush and talk to your sheep everyday and sheer it when youcan (unless it won't grow back in time) to make it's hearts go up. Putting yoursheep in the pasture with full grown grass will make the hearts go up fasterbut it becomes a pain to bring them in before bad weather. Even on year one youcan win if you bought a sheep A.S.A.P. This may mean you have to buy a sheepbefore you buy a cow, which most people probably don't want to do even thoughsheep cost less. It's up to you. Pick the sheep with the most hearts to enter.



Talk with the villagers at the festival then talk to Barley to start thejudging. If you win he will announce it and your sheep will produce gold woolworth 600G.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

VII. Winter Festivals*********************

Dog Race--------Go to Rose Square at 10AM on Winter 10th. In early Fall Won should have come byand sold you a pink dog ball. You need to throw it for your dog a lot everydayto make him smarter. 10-15 times a day should be enough. You should also bepicking your dog up everyday to make his hearts go up to 10. You can get yourdog to 10 hearts in time even in year one if you play with him and pick him uplike you should be. Zack will come by the farm and ask you to enter the dograce. Tell him you will and he'll come by to take your dog to the Square beforethe race. Talk to the villagers then to Zack to start the race. If you havebeen taking care of your dog this should be simple. Press O to run towards thefinish line. Your dog doesn't need to be right on your heels the whole time; aslong as he's close enough to follow you, keep running. When your dogs starts

falling behind stop briefly so he can get closer. Try not to let him get so farbehind that he stops running and wanders away. If this happens you have to turnaround and go back for him. You can go the entire race without the dog stoppingonce as long as you pause to let him catch up a little.

Note: There is a glitch that allows you to duplicate the dog ball. You mightwant to keep some extra dog balls in case you lose one:

Step 1.) Throw the ball.Step 2.) Go to where it fell.Step 3.) Pick up the ball exactly when the dog does.If you timed it right you should have both picked up the ball at the same timeand now you have two!

-Or-Step 1.) Throw the ball.Step 2.) Wait for the dog to bring it back to you.Step 3.) Wait for it to get tired of holding it and take it exactly when thedog drops it. If you time it right you should have one in your hands and heshould have dropped one on the floor. Now you have two!

Note: This may sound a little hard but it's not. I've done it by accident everytime and now I have 4.

Winter Thanksgiving Festival----------------------------Stay at your farm on Winter 14th. If you have been paying some attention to the

girls they will bring you either chocolate or chocolate cake. If a girl is at ablack heart she won't come so make sure all the girls have at least a purpleheart. You will get chocolate if the girl has either a purple or blue heart.You will get chocolate cake if the girl is at a green heart or above. You needto keep at least two girls at purple or blue hearts because this is the onlyway (aside from cheating) to get the chocolate you need for at least two of therecipes. One girl will come at 6AM, one at 8AM, one at 10AM, one at 1PM, andone at 3PM. Make sure you're on the farm. After 3PM you can go on about yourbusiness.



Starry Night Festival---------------------Go to a girl's house at 6PM on Winter 24th. On the 23rd the girls will allinvite you to come to their house for a party if you talk to them. It's up toyou which house you go to. Decisions, decisions. You will then see a short cutscene with the girl you choose and her family.

New Years Eve Festival----------------------Go to the peak of Mother's Hill at Midnight on Winter 30th. Talk to thevillagers then talk to Saibara, the blacksmith. You'll then watch the firstsunrise of the new year.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

VIII. Other special days************************

Harvest Sprite's Tea Party--------------------------You can attend this party in spring on non-festival days. All of the spritesmust be home as well -- none of them can be helping on your farm the day you

decide to go. First you must be able to carry seven gifts in your rucksack,which means you need to get the large rucksack at the supermarket for 5,000G.The party will be over by the time you get back if you bring some gifts thenleave to bring more. Now you must bring a gift for each Sprite. Flour worksextremely well, it seems to be their favorite gift. You can also buy this atthe supermarket for 50G. What gift would be complete without wrapping paper?Wrap the seven gifts at the supermarket for 100G each. Expensive, I know. Nowthat you have the gifts go to the Harvest Sprite's tree. It's located behindthe church, up the path on the right. Go between 3-4 PM, no earlier and nolater. Talk to Nappy, the orange sprite. If you're there at the correct time heshould tell you to bring gifts if you want to join the tea party. Walk aroundand give out the gifts to all seven sprites, one each. They will be happy andurge you to continue giving gifts to the other sprites. When you give the last

gift you will be invited to join the tea party. As you go to leave you willreceive Relaxation Tea Leaves as a gift.

Note: You can't get more until you use the ones you have. As long as you'vemade tea with them you can go back for more even if you haven't used the tea.

Note: I've been seeing some people say that the flour doesn't have to bewrapped for this to work. It never worked for me, but I recommend you try itbefore spending all that money on wrapping paper. If it doesn't work justrestart the day. Your Birthday-------------

It is a little misleading for me to put this under special days becausenothing really special happens. You will get letters from some villagers ifthey like you enough. If you're married your wife will make you something.Woohoo right? I know, it sucks.

Wedding-------After you get the 2nd house upgrade (the one with two beds), buy a bluefeather and have your girl up to a red heart so that you can propose to her.Just give her the feather to propose. It will take exactly one week for the



wedding. It will be marked on your calendar with a red heart. If there is afestival a week after you propose the wedding will be rescheduled to afestival-free day. Make sure you get the Sprites to take care of your animalson your wedding day because you won't be able to.

Note: Don't buy the blue feather from Won; it's way cheaper at the store.

IX. Power Berries *****************

Goddess: Go to the waterfall and make offerings to the Goddess. You must usethings from your farm, milk, eggs, crops, etc. You will get something for every5 items you throw in up to 15. Either do it over time (the goddess rememberswhat you give her) or all at once. You can't get it in winter, in bad weather,or on festival days. Go sometime in the afternoon for best results. If shedoesn't come up then it didn't work.

Flower Field Tree: Use your ax to chop at the tree until it cries mercy. Itwill offer you a Power Berry if you promise not to cut it down. Take the berryand leave the tree alone (you can't cut it down anyway).

Buy It: After you have all the nifty little gadgets you need from the shoppingchannel a Power Berry will go on sale. Watch the show on Saturday, and then usethe phone at the Inn to place your order. It's 5,000g.

Horse Race: Exchange medals for a Power Berry. (Go to the Horse Race sectionfor details.)

Swimming Festival: Prize for winning the race. (Go to the Swimming Festivalsection for strategies.)

Frozen Lake: In Winter the lake will freeze over allowing you to walk on it.Check around the entrance to the mine in the center to find a berry. You can't

see it because it's hidden from view, but it's in the top corner.

2 Mines: Dig around in the mines until you find holes. Go down the holes a waysand eventually you'll dig up the Power Berries. One is in the mine behind thewaterfall and the other is in the mine at the center of the lake (you can onlyget inside in Winter when the lake freezes over).

Fishing: Fish in the ocean and eventually you'll catch a berry.

Flowers: You can do this in any season besides winter. All you have to do isplant flowers100 of them. Plant them, water them, watch them grow. Once theyhave all bloomed Anna will come to your farm and ask if she can pick some. Lether pick as many as she wants and get a Power Berry. If you are having trouble

getting her to come just exit and reenter your farm (use the exit near thechicken coop) from noon to about 1:30, if she doesn't come by then she's notcoming that day.

Note: This woman is like a tornado, she will leave your flower patch indevastation, so be prepared to lose a great deal of your flowers to her. UsePink Cat flowers if you can; they are the cheapest to buy. Pick whatever isleft and store them in your cabinet to give to the girls later on.

Note: Though you can use Magic Reds I DO NOT recommend it, unless you want to



lose all the rare ones to Anna's thieving little hands. She took all minewithout even picking the flowers around them. And they are expensive!

Special Berry: Go to the lake around noon with 3 cucumbers. Stand between thetwo trees in the upper left corner, facing the water. Throw a cucumber into thelake. If a green guy names Kappa doesn't pop out you're in the wrong place, tryagain. If he does pop out throw another one, and another one. After three hewill come up and give you a berry that will cut your fatigue in half. It won'twork in Winter, on festival days, if the weather is bad, if you throw in thewrong spot, or if the time of day isn't right. Good Luck, at least it's worththe effort.
