1/21

/ 9.1 Azure Swallowtail, The/________________________________________________------------------------------

Who's involved: Kurt, Lyla, and Parsley

- To start this ending, give Kurt tomatoes. One day, when you go to theCarpentry area, a CS will happen. In this CS, Kurt will talk about theAzure Swallowtail and how they haven't been to this area for a long time.He figures that if they did come back, then the homeland can be saved.Woody, the boss, will interject stating that the Azure Swallowtail is onlyattracted to the Blue Mist Flower. That's your cue to start

investigating.

- A good first stop is up at Goddess Lake. The Goddess will basically tellyou to find someone who is knowledgeable in the area of flowers. Well,

youknow of two people: Lyla and Parsley.

- First stop, Lyla's Flower Shop. It is also a good idea to bring Pink-Cat-

Mint flowers to get her to like you even more. Lyla will basicallyexplain

that the Blue Mist Flower is a very delicate flower. It is also onlyfound

high in the mountains where the elements can't damage it and the weatherchanges aren't as severe. Other then that, she doesn't know much more

aboutit.

- Next, find Parsley. He's pretty easy to find, just go to anyplace thereare

a lot of plants or flowers. Be sure to have some walnuts since this seemsto get Parsley on your good side pretty quickly. Parsley states that hewill do some research on the Blue Mist Flower and get back to you.

- You will need to keep gifting Lyla and Parsley. Also, go by the ToolShop.

When you enter, a CS will have Louis explaining his new invention to Lyla.The new invention is a camera and he plans to take the Swallowtails

picturewhen that event happens.

- In about a week, both Lyla and Parsley will show up at your front door.Parsley will explain that his research has yielded results. The results

area bag of Blue Mist Flower seeds. He again explains how to care for the

Blue

Mist Flower. Now, where is there an area in the mountains to plant thisflower?

- Yep, you guessed it. Time to take a hike up to Goddess Lake. When youlook

across the small river, you will see a single plot of dirt. That is yourobjective. As you did when planting your crops, take out your hoe and

bustup the dirt in the plot. When you press the X button, you will be asked

if


2/21

you wish to use the Blue Mist seeds. Of course you do. Once they areplanted, get out your water can and water them. Now all we have to do iswait. Big note here, if you plant the Blue Mist Flower seeds too late inSummer, then you won't be able to finish this ending since Fall will killit.

- You will now need to visit this spot every day with your trusty wateringcan. You will see the first sprigs of green start to grow out in about 3days. After about 9 days, you will have yourself a full grown, genuine,Blue Mist Flower.

- A CS will occur when the plant is fully grown. Parsley will approach youas you look at the flower. He will state that he didn't really believe

it,but he is glad that the flower took. Since he is trying to find himself

(Isuppose), he has decided to leave the area and travel on to do bigger andbetter things.

- Now you must wait for the Azure Swallowtail. If you go up the mountain

during the evening (usually anytime after 6:30pm), you will see theGoddess

and the Sprites admiring the flower. The Goddess will basically statethat

all everyone can do now is sit and wait for the Swallowtail.

- Continue to visit the area daily. Around the third day or soon thereafteranother CS will occur. You will approach the meadow and see the AzureSwallowtail hovering above the Blue Mist Flower. Soon Lyla and Louis cometo join you. Then Louis sets up and snaps a picture of the Swallowtailwhile Lyla proudly poses by the flower. Louis then explains that he willsend the picture in and get their reaction to it.

- Again, another waiting period. During this time, the flower willeventually

die no matter what you do. Just don't do anything to it after it dies.After seven days have passed, head up to Goddess Lake in the evening. A

CSwill happen. You will see Lyla busy picking up the seeds left behind by

theflower. She explains that she can sell these to grow other Blue MistFlowers. At this time, Louis comes running up to Lyla and you. He

explainsthat due to the picture being published of a rare butterfly, the homeland

issaved from the developers. The homeland will now become a wildlifepreserve.

- After the credits, you see Lyla and Louis making small talk. When Lylade-

parts, Louis chases after her.

feed him eggs. After a while, he will become more chatty with you.

- On a Saturday evening after 6pm, head over to Maple Lake. A CS will occurwhere you see Louis jamming on his flue. You will also see a bunch of

birdsfluttering around him listening. After a bit, your character will go overto Louis and both of you will feed the birds. At this time, Louis will

giveyou a flute and tell you to practice.

- Continue to give Louis eggs and definitely continue to practice with yourflute. It will aid you greatly in working with your dog. See more aboutthis in Chapter 16.4.

- Head down to the lake again on a Saturday evening after 6pm. You willspot

Lyla standing behind some brush listening while Louis plays his flute.After a little bit, both Lyla and you will head down to chat with Louis.Lyla asks him to play but Louis gets all flustered and messes up. AfterLyla leaves, Louis tells you about the Bluebird. He hopes that by playinghis flute, he will be able to see one. Woody, the carpenter's boss, stepsinto the scene. He explains that the Bluebirds were basically hunted toextinction and he hasn't seen one in a lot of years. After this,

everybodyheads home.

- In a week or two, Louis comes by your farm. He asks if you have beenpracticing your flute playing. He then asks if you would like to go downto the lake and play a tune with him. Of course you will answer yes.

Onceyou both are at the lake, a mini-game commences. The mini-game goes likethis:

_______________________________________________________________________________

- You will be standing beside Louis on the left side of the screen. Therewill be a musical note above your head.

- Louis basically explains that you must play the notes he is playing. Thatis, when the note briefly lights up next to the note above your head, you

must play that note on your flute. The notes are color coded inconjunction

with the directional keypad. The notes are:

Green is upBlue is downPink is leftRed is right.

- Louis will start to play. Do your best to keep up with the notes he sends

- If you only miss 5-7 notes, a CS will show a Bluebird flying around Louisand you. If you miss more then that, Louis will state that was pretty

good,but he knows you can do better thereby restarting the mini-game again if

youwant.

_______________________________________________________________________________

- When the Bluebird flies around, it will drop a feather. Louis will pickit

up and seem to wonder what to do next. After a hurried explanation, he

runsoff toward his shop.

- Talk to the Goddess and she will tell you she doesn't know what is goingto

happen. About 2 weeks later, Louis will come by your home and tell youthat

the blue feather he sent has saved the homeland. He explains since theBluebird is so rare, they aren't or can't do any developing. To

celebrate,Louis and you head over to the lake to jam on your flutes.

- After the credits, Louis asks the significance of the blue feather. Yourcharacter explains it is given to somebody that one loves. Enter Lyla.

Shethinks the story is sweet. Louis gets up his courage and chases after

her.Fade out.

_________________________/ 9.3 Cake Contest, The/_____________________________________________________-------------------------

Who's involved: Katie, Dia, and Wallace

- To start this ending off, you must get to be friends with Katie. Shelikes

Moondrop Flowers so start loading her up with these flowers.

- One day, when you enter the Cafe and Bar, a CS will occur. Katie willbasically explain that she wants to enter a cake-baking contest. The onlyproblem is the fact that Katie isn't a very good cook. However, she hasheard a rumor that you have your grandmother's recipe to make a cake to

die


5/21

for. Wallace interjects that it was the best cake that he had ever had.About this time, Gwen comes by and makes a snide remark about making

cakes.Now, to find the recipe.

- By talking to everyone around the area, you now have a good idea where therecipe is. Go back to your one room house. See that chest-for-drawers onthe left. Go over there and press the X button. Lo and behold, it's yourgrandmother's recipe. Once you have obtained it, the recipe will show upin your key items inventory.

- Now, head back over to the Cafe and Bar and a CS will occur where you givethe recipe to Katie. She looks it over and tells you that she needs agolden egg, golden milk, and Moon Drop Dew. The first two should be easy

toget, but the third is beyond her. Wallace interjects that he's not too

sureabout the third ingredient either. Looks like more investigative work.

- Your investigation leads you to Clove Villa, Dia specifically. This meansyou will have to feed Dia a few blueberries until she actually may like

youa bit.

- During a day when Dia is in her house, enter the house. A CS occurs whereDia gets out a book to give to Katie regarding the making of Moon Drop

Dew.Once you have book in hand, head back over to the Cafe and Bar. When youencounter Katie, your character will hand her the book. Katie states shewill get back to you on making the Moon Drop Dew.

- Return to the Cafe and Bar in a few days and Katie will tell you exactlyhow

Moon Drop Dew is made. It apparently is created up at Goddess Lake by thelight of the full moon. Full moon days are the 14th, 15th, 29th, and

30th.You also have to be there at 9pm. Katie also states that at that time,

yourcharacter's true love will appear.

- So, after waiting for one of the above days, head up to Goddess Lake.Now,

whatever gal you have been closest to, besides Katie, will show up at thelake. It probably will be Dia since you had to get friendly with her to

getthe book. It could be, though, another gal. Anyway, there will be some

chit-chat back and forth until a glowing urn appears. The urn collectsthe

moon's light and your character's and gal's "love" for each other and putsthat in the urn also. After the scene is over, your gal states she willtake the urn to Katie.

- This part can be done anytime after Katie tells you what she needs. Giveher the golden egg and milk. She will thank you and start to work on thecake.


6/21

- Go back to the Cafe and Bar after a few days and Katie will have yousample

her stuff. It won't come out that good as indicated by your charactersreaction. Katie states for you not to worry that it will come out good

forthe contest.

- After a few days, go back again to the Cafe and Bar and Katie will statethat she has entered the cake into the contest. Now all you have to do iswait.

- When a week has passed, Katie, Lyla, and Gwen show up at your farm. Katietells you excitedly that her cake won first prize and even got a write up.Since her cake won, the developers can't do anything to the homeland sinceit's now famous for Katie's great cake. Scene ends with all of you

headingdown the road.

- After the credits, Katie basically states she wants to go to differentplaces but hopes you'll stay behind for her to come back to. After a

tendermoment, your character agrees. Fade out.

*** THE CAKE CONTEST ENDING COMPLETED ***

______________________________/ 9.4 Endangered Weasel, The/________________________________________________------------------------------

Who's Involved: Gwen, the Harvest Sprites

- To start this ending off, start giving Gwen gifts. She really likessweets

so load her up on berries. If you can, golden milk will make her yourinstant devotee. Anyway, after a few days, the Harvest Sprites will

invadeyour home in the morning. They excitedly exclaim that something is

pickingon them and they want you to take a look. So, you and the sprites head

overto Goddess Lake. From the shelter of the weeds, you see a furry whitecritter busy poking around the trees. This is what is "terrorizing" them.Gwen comes upon the scene and threatens anyone who harms her furry friend"Snowball".

- Go to the Harvest Goddess next to see what you can do about this. The

Goddess suggests that you spread the word about this rare white weasel.Obviously, if you have a rare weasel on your lands, developers cannot comein.

- Continue giving gifts to Gwen. One morning, she will show up at yourfarm.

She will basically explain that she is in a moral crisis. On one hand,she

wants to see the homeland saved. On the other hand, though, she doesn't


7/21

want to exploit Snowball to save the homeland. She doesn't think thatwould

be very fair. She basically states she has to think about it and will getback to you on her answer since she seems to be the only one that Snowballcomes to.

- As always, keep buttering her up with gifts. In about a week, Gwen willcome by the farm. She tells you that Louis made a camera and she decidesit is time to take action. She tells you to meet her at Goddess Lake at

7pmto get a picture. Well, you arrive at Goddess Lake ready to snap a photo.Gwen shows up and hides with you with the camera. Unfortunately, this

isn'ta good night for weasel pictures and Gwen basically tells you this. Shetells you that she will think about trying it again.

- Give her some more gifts and after about 2 weeks, she will again show upat

your farm. Once again, she tells you to meet her at Goddess Lake at 7pmto

get a picture of Snowball. You arrive at 7pm as before and Gwen comeswith

camera at the ready. This time, the weasel makes its appearance and shegets off a couple of shots. After the weasel runs off she states that shehopes the pictures came out.

- A week later, Louis and Gwen come up to your farm. Louis holds up a bookand states the picture is in it. Apparently, the weasel is an endangeredanimal. Because of this, the whole area will be declared a nature

preservearea. Gwen still seems to have her doubts about taking the picture but

shestates at least the weasel will be happy and can live its life to thefullest.

- After the ending credits, Gwen and your character are sitting on top ofyour

barn. Gwen starts talking about deciding between right and wrong and howit's relative to life. She soon realizes that one has to make mistakes inlife and all you can do is go forward. Gwen then asks you character to

benddown. After your character bends down, she plants a big kiss on him.

Fadeout.

______________________/ 9.5 Fishy Story, A/________________________________________________________----------------------

Who's Involved: Joe, Kurt, Woody

- To get this story started, you will need to talk to Joe when he isfishing.


8/21

He will tell you that don't get used to the place because it won't bearound

for long.

- Go back in a couple of days and talk to Joe again. At this time, he willgive you a fishing pole. The fishing pole is pretty bad but you must

learnhow to use it. Get used to catching a lot of boots and cans with it.

Plus,you will mostly be able to catch small fish with a few medium fish

(rarely).Be sure to give Joe the medium fish since he tells you to throw the smallfish back.

- After you catch 3 or so fish (any size), meet up with Joe at the lake inthe

evening. He will be there Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6-8pm. A CSwill occur where Joe will tell you about the legendary Silver Fish. Hestates that he has never seen it but it would be cool if somebody couldcatch it. Joe, though, figures it is probably just a legend.

- Continue to attempt to catch more fish. After you catch 3 or so morefish,

go to visit Joe again during the evening. He will ask how your fishing isgoing. Regardless of the answer you give him, Joe will tell you that hewill go chat with Louis about stocking a better fishing pole. Joe thenheads off.

- The next day, head over to the Tool Shop (if it's open) and purchase theSilver Fishing Pole. It will set you back 4500G but it is definitely

worththe price. Then head over to the lake to test it out. You will now be

ableto catch any size fish with it and less junk (or so it seemed to me

anyway).

- Now, catch 3 or so medium or big fish and once again head off to the laketo

visit Joe in the evening. While you and Joe are chatting, Joe notices asilver streak gliding through the water. He now is more sure then ever

thatthe Silver Fish isn't a legend, but it is a fact. He is now ready toattempt to catch the Silver Fish.

- It is now time to start becoming friends with Kurt. He loves tomatoes sostart giving him tomatoes every day.

- On a Tuesday or Thursday, head over to the Carpenters Shop. A CS willoccur

with Woody, the boss. He will tell you he believes that the Silver Fishis

heaven sent. He has never seen it but wishes you luck on finding it. Assoon as that scene is over, another CS occurs with the Harvest Goddess andSprites. She basically tells you she doesn't know much about the SilverFish but she will research it and get back to you. After that happens,

Kurt


9/21

will come by and give you an odd look (remember, only your character cansee

the Goddess and Sprites). He will then state that you probably need moresleep since you're talking to yourself.

- Catch a few more medium or big fish (3 or 4) and head back to the lake inthe evening to talk to Joe. Joe will still be wondering about the SilverFish when the Sprites appear. They explain that the Silver Fish onlyappears on moonlit nights. That means it appears on the 14th, 15th, 29th,and 30th. That was the reason you had seen it the other night with Joe.When the Sprites disappear, Joe also gives you a funny look and tells youthat you need more sleep.

- Since you have probably been giving gifts to Kurt, he will visit your farmabout 7 days after the above takes place. He shyly states he doesn'tbelieve the legend of the Silver Fish but he doesn't totally disbelieve iteither. He is willing to make a deal with you. Since Woody has himcollecting herbs, he asks if you will collect them. If you do, he willrepay you kindly. Time to go herb hunting.

- You probably have a big stash of herb already from lots of foraging. Whenyou have 10 herbs, go visit Kurt anytime. Give him the herbs and he tellsyou that he will be back in a few days to repay you.

- About 4 days later, Kurt will show up at your farm again. In his hand hehas a fishing rod. He explains that he imagined what the Silver Fish

lookedlike so he designed the rod specifically for that purpose. He also statesthat he believes you have a better chance of catching the Silver Fish thenJoe. So now you have the Silver Fish rod. All you have to do is wait for

amoonlit night.

- When that moonlit day rolls around, head to the lake in the early evening.Now, this will be the most frustrating part of this ending. The Silver

Fishis a semi-random event. That means, you may have to cast out in the waterfor a while before you catch it. There is no pattern so just cast

anywhere.The only consistent thing I have found is that it's one of the largerobjects. It will also be an object that you actually have to move your

lineto, unlike other fish which always appear under your line after you havecast it into the water. Eventually, you will catch the Silver Fish. Youwill know because when you display your catch, it will be shimmering

silver.

- Joe will be standing next to you and be totally amazed you caught thefish.

Then your character will release the fish back into the lake. Joe willask

why you did that as the fish swims rapidly away. He then realizes thatit's

good you released it. Of course, you got a souvenir before the release; asilver scale. You hand it to Joe to send off. Joe takes it to send off

toa magazine.


10/21

- A week later, Joe, Kurt, and Katie show up at your farm. Katie pulls out

a brochure that talks about the Silver Fish. Since the fish is so rare,developers can't come in. It also means that the lake will now haverestricted fishing. Joe is happy that the homeland is saved but sadbecause he won't be able to fish anymore.

- After the ending, your character visits Joe. Joe, of course, is fishingone last time before they restrict fishing. Joe and your character chat

fora while before Katie enters. She basically states she still cannot figureout this fishing thing then drags Joe off on a date. Fade out.

_______________________/ 9.7 Horse Race, The/_______________________________________________________-----------------------

Who's involved: Bob, Gwen

- Start this ending off by giving gifts to Bob and Gwen. Both love sweetsso

this shouldn't be too hard. If you don't have a horse yet, then you willneed to work at the farm to get one. See Chapter 16.3 for getting thehorse.

- Once you have a horse, make sure you groom and talk to him/her every day.At first, when you try to ride your horse, it will rear up. Once you getone heart, however, you will be able to ride your horse at a slow pace.

- When you are able to ride your horse, a CS will occur the next morning.It

will show you brushing your horse and talking to it. Bob shows up andcompliments you on being able to ride your horse. He also states he hasconfidence in your ability to train the horse to run. Gwen then shows upand snidely states that anybody can ride a horse. She also states thatnobody will beat her horse.

- Continue to groom, talk to, and ride your horse. Eventually, you willhave

your horse at the 5 heart level. When this occurs, another CS will occurthe next morning. Bob once again shows up and compliments you on gettingthe horse in great condition for racing. He states that now it is time totrain the horse for racing. To achieve this, he tell you to come down toBrownie Farm and do a Time Attack to see how fast your horse really is.

Gwen then shows up again and she and Bob argue over whose horse willrepresent the homeland. They both depart.

- You heard him, it's now time to do a Time Attack on the racetrack on Bob'sfarm. When you go into the store, Bob will ask you what you want. The

menuwill come up but now Time Attack is in the menu along with the Part-TimeWork. Highlight Time Attack and Bob will tell you to come down to the

trackand he will time you. The Time Attack works like this:


13/21

_______________________________________________________________________________

- Bob explains that you must go around the track three times.

- Bob will tell you that you must beat Gwen's time of 52 seconds.

- When you are ready to go, just push the R3 analog stick up or the keypaddirection up. I found the keypad works better for me but that is personalpreference. Try to keep as close to the right fence as possible withoutdragging on it. Keep your corners sharp and you should have no problembeating 52 seconds. My best time was 50.45 seconds.

_______________________________________________________________________________

- Once you have beaten Gwen's time, you can continue to go down to improveyour times even more but your fastest time is what you will end up with.

Inabout 2 weeks, Bob comes to your farm. He states that you did good on theTime Attack but now it was time to face real competition. Bob challengesyou to race him and if you can beat him, you are on your way to the races.He also states if you don't want to race him, you can come by Thursdays tochallenge him.

- This will work just like the Time Attack, instead this time, you areracing

someone. Your horse will be on the inside lane which is good. The goalis

to keep on the inside track and don't let Bob push you out. You should beahead of him by lap one and beat him with a few seconds to spare. Once

youwin, Bob will state that your horse is ready for the race. Gwen shows upand states that the test isn't over yet. You must beat her to prove onceand for all your horse is the best. Race Gwen like you raced Bob and youshould have no problem. Once you beat Gwen, she will concede that yourhorse is the best. Bob tells you to take care of your horse because therace is in 2 weeks.

- One morning, Gwen will show up at your farm. She will tell you that sheis

disappointed about losing out but she is glad your horse is in the race.She gives you a Lucky Charm so that your horse wins. Then she runs off.

- A week after beating Bob and Gwen, Bob will come by your farm. He is just

there to remind you that the race is in 1 week and to make sure that yourhorse is in top condition.

- The day of the race. Bob shows up at your farm and takes your horse withhim to compete in the race.

- The next day, Gwen and Bob show up at your farm. They exclaim that yourhorse won the race. Since your horse won the race, they have to hold theraces in homeland next year. Since that is the case, the developers can'tcome in and do anything with the area.


14/21

- After the ending credits, your character, Bob, and Gwen are all on therace-

track. After a little idle chit-chat, the three of you run your horsesaround the track. Fade out.

thechest, you find a lot of old junk and toys. Bob then appears on the

scene.He explains that he buried this chest when he was a kid and had forgottenabout it. At the time, the stuff in the chest was important to him. Thescene ends.

again visit you at your farm. This time, he states, he has found a realtreasure map. It has to do with a treasure in the Sacred Land of PrariaForest. Tim is clueless on this but he has made a copy of the map and

givesit to you. Guess it's time to do some investigating.

- Talking to the townspeople yields few results. None of them really have a

clue about the sacred land. Only the Goddess gives you a hint in statingthat if you have a smart doggie, then you will be able to find the SacredLand.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, go into Clove Villa. If you do, you willactivate the Dia CS and you will end up doing the Treasure Hunt II ending.

- Continue to visit the townspeople and give them gifts. Again, you may endup activating a few endings by doing this. Don't worry about it, just


15/21

concentrate on this ending. Be sure to constantly talk to and give giftsto

Bob and Tim.

- There is no set time or day for this CS to happen (mine happened on aSunday

morning). One day, when you are making your daily visits to Clove Villa,a

CS will occur. Your dog (you can leave your dog on the farm) will runaway

from your character and head toward the Villa. Martha will come out andwonder what's going on. After a quick explanation, you notice your dogheading for a hill to the left side of the Villa. When your characterapproaches, your dog and you are transported to the Sacred Land.

- Tim appears and states that he heard your dog barking. Tim furthercompliments your dog on its ability to find this area.

- As Tim, your dog, and your character go farther into the Sacred Land, younotice a large stone tablet in front of you, a field in front of it with

strange markings, and a well. Tim and your character examine the tabletfor

a minute. Then Tim looks around and states that the Sacred Land looksmore

like a wasteland as he departs. If you read the inscription on thetablet,

it reads, "Plant crops as land tells you and gold will appear".

- The tablet explains in further detail about what crops to plant. Rememberall this weird markings on that plot of land? Well, those markings have ameaning. You have to plant a certain crop as designated by the marking.The markings are:

- Star: Root Plant (Potato)- Square: Yellow Plant (Corn)- Musical Note: Brown Plant (Breadfruit)- Heart: Red Plant (Tomato)

- Also, if you make a mistake by putting the wrong seeds down, you can usethe

hoe to undo that mistake. In addition, if you obliterate the symbols byhoeing and forget what they are, come back the next day and they will bethere again.

- The field is a 5x5 grid and it is marked like this as you are facing thestone tablet:

Legend: ST=Star; SQ=Square; MN=Musical Note; HE=Heart

+----+----+----+----+----+| HE | HE | MN | SQ | SQ |+----+----+----+----+----+| HE | HE | MN | SQ | SQ |+----+----+----+----+----+| MN | MN | MN | MN | MN |+----+----+----+----+----+| ST | ST | MN | HE | HE |


16/21

+----+----+----+----+----+| ST | ST | MN | HE | HE |+----+----+----+----+----+

- Your task is to plant the specific crops in these areas and take care ofthem until they are ready to be harvested. This will mean going up to theland every day and watering them.

- After 8 days has passed, when you enter the Sacred Land, a CS will occur.Your character will walk in and notice a treasure chest sitting on top ofthe ground next to the stone tablet. At this time, Tim enters and

exclaimsthat your character has found a treasure. Upon opening the chest, Timstates that it looks like seeds. He further states that it might be a

rareflower and asks if he can grow it. Your character hands him the bag ofseeds and Tim is off to plant them.

- Lyla, being the generous soul that she is, has agreed to let Tim borrow alittle part of her flowerbed to grow the seed in. Continue to visit the

Flower Shop area daily (unless it's raining). After 3 days, a CS willoccur. Tim will show up at your farm and state that the flower hassprouted. You both head back over to the flower bed and exchange con-versation as to what this flower may be.

- After a week has passed, Tim show up at your farm. He will state that theflower is blooming. So the both of you head back over to the Flower Shopto see this flower. Lyla comments on how the flower glows and Parsleystates that it has a golden light to it. Lyla then remembers that hergrandmother told her that this flower bears golden fruit. Parsley departsto research this.

- 2 days will pass then Tim will be knocking on your front door again. Hetells you that they are ready to dig up the golden fruit. You both head,yet again, over to the Flower Shop. You will see Lyla and Parsley also

overthere. When the fruit is dug up, Tim comments that it's only a plainpotato. Woody and Gwen stop by to see the dig. Parsley comments that it

isa golden sweet potato. It is incredibly hardy and nutritious. It wasrumored to give eternal life and was nicknamed the "Fruit of Happiness".Woody gives a more practical tale stating that it was the only food theylived on when they first moved into the homeland. Gwen suggests that theyhave a Sweet Potato Festival. Everybody agrees on it being the next day.

- The next day, head over to the Carpentry Shop Area. There will be a lotof

CS so I will briefly give an idea of what is going on. It opens withWoody

instructing Bob, Joe, and Kurt to get the tables set up. As the scenepro-

gresses, Martha and Gina enter and have a quick conversation. Yourcharacter heads up the hill and chats with Bob, Gwen, Ronald, and Wallace.Woody comes over and tells about what it was like to first settle the

area.Parsley then comes up the hill. Apparently he has sent the potato to a

lab


17/21

and they are very interested in it. With a little work, they can use itto

feed hungry people. Parsley further states that there will be no themepark

or anything else since the land holds a lot of potential.

- After the ending, Tim, your dog, and your character are busy walkingaround

your farm. Tim states that he heard that the homeland will remain as itwas. Tim further states he is happy because he will always want to returnto somewhere that he knows. He states he will be going out adventuring

andwants your character to stick around to hear his stories. After Timdeparts, your character looks up to the sky. Fade out.

*** THE TREASURE HUNT I ENDING COMPLETED ***

______________________________/ 9.9 Treasure Hunt II, The/_________________________________________________

------------------------------

Who's involved: Tim, Bob, Dia with minor roles by Martha and Gina and therest

of the town is the supporting cast

NOTE: Make sure you buy at least 15 bags of each vegetable seed. Trust me,you will need them later on.

- This starts out exactly as Treasure Hunt I. This time, instead of usingthe

dog, Dia is the key to solving this ending.

- After you get the second map, go up to Clove Villa and chat with Dia. Itmay take a few Blueberries but once she is sufficiently buttered up, a CSwill occur. She will tell your character she has no clue about this

SacredLand. She will, however, research this and get back to you on it.

- Now, you need to visit her most every day. I say most because you willneed

to meet her outside Clove Villa during the hours of 12-4p. As youcontinue

to feed her blueberries, she will ask if you will lend her an ear. Shewill

only give you pieces of her story so this will require a lot of trips.Eventually, her story is basically she was left at Clove Villa in the care

of Martha and Gina by her parents. She wants to talk to them and alsowants

to be grown up. All this eventually ends with her thanking your characterfor helping her out. Quite a change from the snobbish brat she started

outas.

- Once she thanks your character for helping her, the stage is set for hervisit. There is no set time so continue to butter her up. Eventually she


18/21

will visit your farm one fine morning. She will state that her researchhas

yielded results and she knows how to get into the Sacred Land. The nextscene shows Dia and your characters looking at a hillside on the left sideof Clove Villa. Dia states that the gateway is around here somewhere.After a little searching, she finds it. Dia and your character are thentransported to the Sacred Land.

- After you enter, you will notice a large stone tablet in front of you, afield in front of it with strange markings, and a well. Dia will lead

yourcharacter up to the stone tablet to read the inscription. The inscriptionreads, "Plant crops as land tells you and gold will appear". Dia statesthis seems rather cryptic and departs. Now, read the stone tablet to

under-stand what's going on. Below is the solution to this puzzle.

- The tablet explains in further detail about what crops to plant. Rememberall this weird markings on that plot of land? Well, those markings have ameaning. You have to plant a certain crop as designated by the marking.

The markings are:

- Star: Root Plant (Potato)- Square: Yellow Plant (Corn)- Musical Note: Brown Plant (Breadfruit)- Heart: Red Plant (Tomato)

- Also, if you make a mistake by putting the wrong seeds down, you can usethe

hoe to undo that mistake. In addition, if you obliterate the symbols byhoeing and forget what they are, come back the next day and they will bethere again.

- The field is a 5x5 grid and it is marked like this as you are facing thestone tablet:

thatit is a golden sweet potato. It is incredibly hardy and nutritious. It

wasrumored to give eternal life and was nicknamed the "Fruit of Happiness".Woody gives a more practical tale stating that it was the only food theylived on when they first moved into the homeland.

20/21

to give him the dish she has made.

- After the ending, Dia shows up at the farm. She hands the character herdish that she has made. Your character reacts to the bad food and Diaapologizes for it and promises to practice cooking more. Dia states thatshe is happy at Clove Villa and is glad that your character is her friend.She has learned that niceness is much better then selfishness. She thenstates she is in love with your character and gives him a kiss. Fade out.

*** THE TREASURE HUNT II ENDING COMPLETED ***

+==================================+| 10. LOGICAL APPROACH TO ENDINGS|===========================================+==================================+

In this chapter, I just wanted to give a quick opinion on doing the endings.As you progress through each ending, you will acquire more stuff, which inturnwill make getting the other endings quicker and easier. This is kind of a

snowball effect that by the time you are working on the last ending, youprobably will have more stuff then you need. Again, this is just theapproachI think would work great.

- When you start on your first ending, this is the time to start building upmoney and items. That means crops and livestock. A great ending that iseasy to get is the Bluebird Ending. You will get the flute from Louis

firstthing so you can start training your dog.

- Once you have a trained pooch, you can get cattle since your dog can nowherd them for you into the barn. Concentrate on making money since thisending is very easy to get. By the time winter rolls around, you should

besitting pretty good for buying a kitchen and other necessary items.

- The next ending should be the Fishy Story Ending. The first couple oftimes

you talk to Joe, he will give you the crummy fishing rod. That's alrightsince you can catch a few small fish. Using your new kitchen, you can fryor put them in a pot. Since Joe likes cooked fish (he won't take your

smallfish unless they are cooked), then you should be able to progress throughthis ending. By the end, you should be catching large fish on a regularbasis. Again, you should have a lot more money.

- The Goddess Dress Ending makes a good next choice. All you have to do isbribe Gwen with fruit, Dia with blueberries, and Katie with cheese to getthis ending going. A couple of eggs to Louis and you're on your way tofinishing it.

- The Endangered Weasel Ending is another easy ending to get withoutspending

too much time bribing people.

- Another easy ending is the Horse Race Ending.


21/21

- The Azure Swallowtail Ending is another easy ending to get.

- By this time, your cows and chickens should be producing gold milk andeggs

respectively. This makes a good start to do the Cake Contest Ending.

NOTE: The above four endings can be done in any order. They are done toallow

you to get maximum production out of your farm since the endings them-selves don't require a lot of time to work on.

- This sets the stage for the Treasure Hunt endings. By now, you shouldhave

everything you need. I suggest selling off everything you own and notplanting crops. You will need to devote all of your time bribing the

towns-people and trying to get these endings. Plus, there is a lot of timeinvolved to unfold the plot.

Again, this is just a suggested route. I know there are many other ways butthese are what I consider a logical way to do the endings.
