Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

Schedule Before Marriage: Gustafa is the most random of the three bachelors. He
might wake up at 10AM one day and then 7AM the next. He's another one you'll
have to stalk sometimes. He's a TRAVELING minstrel, which means most of the
time, he won't be very easy to find. However, if you're lucky, you'll see him
near his yurt as you exit your farm. I personally think Gustafa's rival should
have been Celia...They both are down to earth like that and would get along
quite well.

Schedule After Marriage: He gets up at 6AM and then will go to bed at
10-10:30PM, depending on the chapter. The three bachelors have identical
sleeping patterns, I think. All of them just barely get the minimal amount of
sleep they should get each night.

Nami is your rival for Gustafa, believe it or not. She's the girl who lives at
the Inner Inn with Rock. Gustafa isn't one for work, much like Rock, but he's
definitely got a thing for music. he's too carefree. They both don't seem to
have too much affection towards each other, but after a cut scene or two, Nami
will start to fall for him.

Likes: Flowers, Normal milk, things from the ruins
Dislikes: Mugwort, Tomatoes, Fish, Fishing Equipment

Diary: Located on the couch in the back of his yurt.



Scene 1
Peaceful Days

Requirement: 1 Red Heart

This Event can be triggered in Spring on a sunny day. Leave your farm, and
you'll spot Gustafa playing his guitar by his yurt. You'll walk over to him,
and he'll ask if you have free time to talk.

1. Sure
2. No

Choose option 1 and Gustafa will comment on how wonderful a day it is. He's
happy that he can play his guitar as long as he likes, the weather is perfect,
and today is just the best day ever. He'll then comment and say that sunny days
that are perfect, like the one today, are rare.

1. No they're not
2. Yup, they are

Choose option 2 and Gustafa will be happy that you understand how he feels. He
will then offer to play a song for you.

1. Listen
2. Don't listen

If you choose option 1 and listen, Gustafa will play the first part of his song
for you.



Scene 2
A Conversation

Requirement: 2 Red Hearts

This Event can be activated in Summer. Walk into Gustafa's tent, where you'll
find Gustafa pacing about, wondering what he could do today. He isn't used to
spending time inside of his house. He'll finally notice you and wonder if you
came to visit him on your free time?

1. Yup
2. Nope

Choose option 1 and Gustafa will be happy, welcoming you inside, and wondering
if you're taking the day off. He'll then tell you that he was wondering what he
could do today as well. He'll explain that he usually spends all of his free
time outside, playing his guitar, singing songs...being a traveling minstrel.
He then offers to spend a while having a long conversation with you.

1. Okay!
2. No

If you choose option 1, the screen will fade out and then fade back in,
signaling the end of their conversation. Gustafa says that talking in his house
with someone else feels refreshing, and he feels at ease surrounded by all of
his instruments.

Gustafa will ask you if you find the valley an interesting place. Gustafa says
that he does because there are so many different people who live their own life
the way they want to. Even the name of the valley appeals to him. He'll ask you
how you feel about it.

1. Say nothing
2. I like this place too

Choose option 2 and Gustafa will be very happy to hear your opinion. He'll tell
you that for some reason, he feels close to you. He will then offer to play you
the second part of his song.

1. Listen
2. Don't listen

Select option 1 and you and Gustafa will go outside, where the second part of
Gustafa's song will be played.


Scene 3
The Walk

Requirement: 3 Red Hearts

This Event can be triggered in the Fall by coming out of your house. Like Nami
had done in the male version of the game, Gustafa will come to your house and
has the urge to look around. He comments on how big it is. He hopes that you
don't mind him barging onto your property without permission. You nod and
Gustafa doesn't seem as worried.

Gustafa states that he would like to go for a walk, and he would like you to
accompany him.

1. Sure
2. No way

Choose option 1 and Gustafa will be thrilled. He wants to walk by the waterfall
and the two of you end up walking by the Spring. Gustafa comments about how
walks like the one you and Gustafa are taking now can only be done on nice days
and that when he was thinking of taking this walk that can only be done on nice
days, the first person he thought to take it with was you! He thinks you're
very reserved, and he likes people like that.

Gustafa asks you if you find the waterfall relaxing.

1. I do
2. I don't

Choose option 1 and Gustafa will ask if it's okay to play the third part of his
song for you.

1. Listen
2. Don't listen

Choose option 1 and you will hear the third part of the song. After the song,
Gustafa will give you a Moon Mist flower as a thank you gift for taking the
walk with him.



Scene 4
Stargazers

Requirement: 4 Red Hearts

Note: This Event only happens at night

This Event can be activated in Fall or Winter. Exit the Inner Inn and you will
see Gustafa walk to the bar. You'll follow him inside. Gustafa asks if you
would like to take a drink with him and you nod automatically. He says that he
really likes the atmosphere of the bar, so he goes to the bar quite often.

Muffy will ask Griffin what they should do after work. Griffin says he has no
idea what they could do, not understanding the the principle of it.

Gustafa suddenly gets an idea and asks if you would like to go stargazing with
him.

1. Sure
2. No

Choose option 1 and you and Gustafa will be standing near the inn, looking up
at the night sky and, well, stargazing. Gustafa asks if you think it's nice, so
you smile and nod. Gustafa will back away by a couple of steps and confess that
he feels he could tell anything to anyone right now.

1. I have no interest
2. Think of something

Gustafa wants to play a song, you know what to do! Listen to the fourth and
final part of Gustafa's song for you.







--Children--


-*-Your Son's Life-*-

Yes, your pride and joy. After Winter 10 of Chapter 1, if you chose to marry
one of the three eligible bachelors, you will have a child on Spring 01 of
Chapter 2. Depending on which man you married, your child will have different
looks, personalities, interests, and skills.

Note: Starting between the transition from Chapter 2 to Chapter 3, you will be
given a scene that shows you what your child's interests are. Answer questions
correctly to advance interests, and answer questions incorrectly to lower the
interest.

Chapter 2
Your child will be a toddler, wearing a little hat to hide his hair and what
seems like trousers, a shirt and such. He will share the room with you and your
husband, his bed occupying the lower left corner of the room. He will go to bed
around 9PM. Either your spouse will have to scare him into bed or he'll go
without protest. If he isn't spoiled, your child will go to bed even when your
husband isn't in the room. Chances are Marlin's child will do this the most.

Chapter 3
Your child will be around 8-10 years old. This is when you find out what your
child is interested in and what his skills are. He will have his own room now
in which he keeps a diary, some things that MAY indicate what his interests are
in as well, and generally develops more of a personality. He has his own
bedtime and no one tells him when to go to bed, he does it on his own. If you
took him to places as a toddler during chapter 2, he will usually visit those
places if you took him there often enough. Your child can now also receive
gifts, so make sure you give him proper gifts to influence him in the area you
want him to be influenced in. He now wears actual clothing now, and each of the
child's clothing choices are different. They're set though, you can't change
your child's clothes.

Chapter 4
Your child is now a teenager. Natsume incorporates the idea that most teenagers
are moody/depressed. This is the stage where your child will become somewhat
defiant at times, quiet, distant, depressed, and may lead you to believe he is
even plotting suicide. Some of his likes may have changed a lot, depending on
whose child you have. He still keeps his diary which changes every season as it
always has and always will. He will like to go off on his own a lot or stay
cooped up in his room, wherever it is that is away from his parents. You can
still give him gifts to influence him in a career area, but his mind may be
set on something. It could be hard to sway a moody teenager. He's forgotten how
much you cared for him and if you show him a toy from his old toy chest, he'll
say that it was never his. His clothing style has changed to something a bit
darker than his childhood days. He seems to always have a frown on his face.

Chapter 5
Your child is now an adult. Congratulate yourself for raising him for all of
those years. His mind is set on what he wants to do more than ever, and there
is little time to change his interests. Your child may even be hinting a crush
towards one of the other girls. Continue to give him gifts to influence him in
your chosen career path. By the way, since his teenage years are over, he is no
longer depressed, or at the very least AS depressed. He smiles much more now.
He still keeps his diary in his room, which still explains his interests. He
will spend more time on the farm than he did as a teenager, no longer hating
you or telling you to go away. 

Chapter 6
Your child is still an adult. Whatever his interests and skills are in, that's
pretty much how they will stay. Your son has chosen his career and there is
virtually nothing you can do about it. Basically this last chapter with your
son in it is just to give the player extra time to spend with the child they've
worked so hard to raise.




-*-Your Son's Stats-*-

As soon as chapter 2 starts, you will be able to see your child's stats and
interests. In your diary, go to Assets, then Family And Pets, and then select
your child's face.

As you will see, page 01 reflects your child's skills, and page 02 reflects
your child's interests. On Spring 01 of Chapter 2, all you will see is a very
small sliver for a few stats if any and that's all. As you progress through the
game, make new friends, and take care of your farm, these stats will slowly
grow. The icons on the pages stand for certain things. Here is a list of them
in the order that they appear. They are the same on both pages, though the
levels of skill or interest may vary.



Rancher               Musician

Farmer                Artist

Athlete               Scholar



By now, you may be asking, "Okay, I know all of this, so what do I have to do
to raise these stats?" Well, the answer is quite simple.

Let's assume you are working on getting your son to be a farmer and take over
the farm. It is easier to raise the farming stats of Marlin's child because
both you and Marlin are farmers. So, for your son to be a farmer, you will need
to show your son things that a farmer needs and does. Make sure you have plenty
of animals on the farm, and also that you always have something growing so that
your son knows you aren't bored of it. Show him seeds and your tools, show him
your chickens and eggs, when he asks what a tool is and pronounces it wrong,
correct him. There are many other ways to do this, but you get the idea. All of
these tiny things you do help increase his farming stats.



NOTE: It is absolutely crucial you pay special attention to your toddler. This
is the only stage you cane pick him up and take him places and make him walk
home. The older he gets, the harder it is to make your decisions for him, so
start training him to be whatever you want to be immediately.







-*-Ranching Career-*-

This career is about caring for your animals and nothing more. Basically, it is
the same as a farmer, only without all the plants and trees to take care of. It
is one of the career choices you will want your son to have if you decide you
want him to take over the farm.

Influencing:

In order to make your son a successful rancher, you will need to do several
things to influence him in this career choice. Otherwise, it may be hard to
steer him towards this career.

+ Don't plant anything. Make a living off of your cows. This can be VERY
difficult, so there are exceptions. Plant a 3rd generation tree and take profit
off of the seeds, or you can gain a profit by fishing.

+ Have as many animals on the farm as possible.

+ Get the goat. Don't sell it or kill it off.

+ Have a diversity of cows and sheep in your barn.

+ Have both cows and bulls

+ Take very good care of your animals, brushing them, and hugging them every
day, washing them when their fur is dirty, etc. It's best to do this when your
son is around or outside watching you.

+ Never use the milker, always use your hands

Places To Take Him:

There really isn't a place to take him. Vesta's Farm is all about crops, so the

bring him back home. As a Child, keep tabs on how often he leaves the farm. If
he stays for most of the day, you did a good job at keeping him home.

--Rock's Son--

Blonde hair, energetic...Remind you of another child from "A Wonderful Life"?
Yes, he is the reincarnation of Muffy's child! He wants to be an athlete but
you can mold him into whatever you want him to be.

Chris' Fortune: I sense excellent athletic abilites. This child will be healthy
and active. But mabye a little wild....

Starting Interests: Athletics
Starting Strengths: N/A



-*-Rock's Toddler

Being the athletic child he is, you may have difficulty keeping up with him. He
runs all over the place and can easily get lost before you finish up work with
your animals and crops. He tends to have a wild side to him and takes after his
father with where he goes. He's a happy camper but when he's out past his
bedtime, Rock will get upset with you, so try and get him home before his
curfew (9PM).


[Another]

If you marry rock, your baby will look just like him, or as Takakura put it
"the spitting image of rock." He is so cute with his blonde hair and brown
eyes. He wears small blue overalls and small blue shoes. He wears a cap that
covers most of his hair and he always has a cute smile, unless you upset him.
Running everywhere, he leaves 4 periods of time but he always comes back hours
before his curfew.

--Marlin's Son--

Marlin's Son is a combination of Nami and Celia's children. He's very quiet and
shy like Marlin, and can easily go to bed on time without Marlin telling him
to. He goes outside a lot, but not nearly as much as Rock's child does, but
he never seems to want to leave the farm.

Chris' Fortune: This child is intelligent and gentle. Yes, I see a bright
future.

Starting Interests: Ranching, Farming
Starting Strengths: Ranching, Farming


-*-Marlin's Toddler-*-

Black hair, blue hat and trousers, green shirt. He loves farming and animals
and can quite easily take over the farm. He doesn't really ever leave the farm
unless you force him to leave my carrying him outside. When he goes outside,
he'll usually won't go any farther than the Fertile Field. He'll stare ahead
and then go back into the house. Sometimes he will go into the barn or the
chicken coop, and even more frequently the pasture. He likes to get lost in
the tall grass. He's very obedient at this stage and a total sweetheart. Later
on he will be able to water your crops if you wake up at 7AM with the alarm
clock.
