Harvest Moon Game Boy Color FAQ/WALKTHROUGH
By: JunoGem (Aaron Knepper)




Version History-


New Version:  

Version 2.4 (8/15/00)

Not much of a update but I have some bad news, I'll be moving this week 
and I won't reply to any mail for a week, but other than that it's all A 
OK. I also have the results up for the poll and Poll #3 is up.


Past Versions:

Version 1.0 (5/14/00)

Welcome to my Harvest Moon Game Boy Color FAQ. I hope my FAQ is a help 
to you as you play this wonderful game. Since this is the first version 
the table of contents is first, then all of the subjects, then the 
disclaimer. Thank you for checking out my FAQ, and if you need to, feel 
free to E-mail me. I will make a Question and Answer section when you 
guys and gals E-mail me with some questions. I will also have a small 
part of a walkthrough on the next update. 

Version 1.1 (5/15/00)

Boy, I didn't expect to update this fast. I added all the Game Shark 
codes I could find but I didn't start the Walthrough because I didn't 
have time. I promise I'll have on next time or everyone who reads this 
gets $100 dollars... just kidding. I will try to keep my promise though. 
I also changed some things that were wrong. I also added some more in 
the 'Hints and Tips' section.
And last, please send mail with the subject of HMGBC because mail with 
subjects like HI can sometimes be porn and crap like that. Thanks in 
advance.

Version 1.2 (5/17/00)

Here it is, the new version. Not even a week and I'm on my third update. 
I started the Walthrough as promised, but its not to long. Yet, I still 
can't emphasize enough to label E-mail with Subjects such as 'Harvest 
Moon GBC' and things like that. My parents do check my E-mail on 
occasions and will delete E-mail with odd subjects. Also, I'm thinking 
of making more FAQs but I don't know what game I should make one for. If 
you have any suggestions please tell me, I have  Nintendo, Nintendo 64, 
Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, and Sega 
Dreamcast.

Version 1.3 (5/20/00)

Another update. I couldn't sleep so I decided to work on this. Not that 
Harvest Moon is boring, but typing makes me tired. I probably won't make 
much of an update, but it's better than the last update. I added two 
more sections too, check them out.

Version 1.4 (6/2/00)

This isn't really a big update, just some corrections. Thank you to 
everyone who has complemented me and my hard work. Also, if any of you 
guys/gals use my Walktrhough, tell me if it needs any changes. Thanks to 
everyone, JunoGem. I also took out that damn chart in the Walkthrough, 
it was too confusing. Last but not least, a new section, check it out.

Version 1.5 (6/5/00)

Just a normal update. I added a new section I would like you guys/gals 
to look at. Not much to say here.

Version 1.6 (6/16/00)

Another boring update. Sorry, I'm just in a bad mood. I pour a myself a 
bowl of Pokemon ® cereal and there's no milk. I say, "Mom, I want some 
milk." She replies, "Have some lemonade." Lemonade!?!? I'm not going to 
put lemonade in cereal, it's just wrong on so many levels... Well, I 
only updated some stuff.

Version 1.7 (6/21/00)

This isn't really an update, I just want to make some stuff clear (there 
is a small update). For any of you who have ever E-mailed me you know 
that I answer your question within 24 hours, it will always be that way. 
This weekend though (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) I will be out 
of state for my 13th birthday ( I was born 6/26/87) and I may not be 
able to E-mail you people back for a week. Don't think I'm just ignoring 
you, I'll just be busy. I will read each E-mail and reply to everyone. 
The other things are, my Legend of the River King GBC FAQ/WALKTHROUGH 
will be on GameFAQs by the end of June. And last, my Harvest Moon 64 FAQ 
will be done by the end of summer. ~JunoGem

Version 1.8 (7/5/00)

Just a normal update. I updated the Walkthrough and I am thinking about 
writing something on Harvest Moon GBC 2. I know some stuff, but if you 
people could give me some good Harvest Moon web-sites, I'd appreciate 
it. ~JunoGem

Version 1.9 (7/13/00)

Just a normal update. I feel great, and that's odd. Thanks to Ryan (if 
your reading this) for pointing out a few mistakes. It's amazing, at 
Version 1.9 no one ever pointed those mistakes to me. I also had to 
change some sections because when the were put on GameFAQs they appear 
different, i.e. the line after each section is throughout the whole page 
but it appears to be only half way on GameFAQs. The only time I see it 
correctly is using my Sega Dreamcast internet. For you PSX lovers, the 
PSX version come out near the end of August. Finally, a new boy is 
writing a new Harvest Moon GBC FAQ and Brian will not ever be updating 
his again because he is going into high school and doesn't have time. So 
for now, I'm the only writer. I am also very glad to find out that the 
Harvest Moon GBC FAQs and FAQ/WALKTHROUGHs are number 10 on the Top Ten 
list for Game Boy Color, but lets get it higher.    ~JunoGem

Version 2.0 (7/19/00)

The big 2.0! It would have been up sooner, but a problem occurred on the 
15th that I rather not talk about. Because of it I was behind 122 E-
mails and am now down to 83 left. I'll try to have them all out by 
tomorrow. Another thing, on the Version 1.6 update I talked about the 
Lemonade and Pokemon ® cereal, my mother did not know I was eating 
cereal. Come one people, she's not that stupid (just kidding mom, please 
don't kill me). An one big announcement, I'm done with my Gundam Side 
Story 0079: Rise From The Ashes FAQ/WALKTHROUGH and it will be up on 
Friday. You may be thinking "I didn't see that in his 'Other FAQs made 
by me' section". The reason for that is I did it for fun and didn't tell 
any one. I am also on the GameFAQs Message Boards as Juno Gem. A friend 
got me banned from using JunoGem, so I had to add a space to my alias. I 
will also be getting a new E-mail address soon and I will post my new E-
mail when I get it. I am now posting a code I got from someone and I 
want someone to test it out. If no one answers this the code by the 30th 
it will be in the 'Rumors' section until someone tries this code.  
~JunoGem

Version 2.1 (7/23/00)

The new version. For now one I will have a poll every once in a while. 
The first poll is send me an E-mail rating this FAQ/WALKTHROUGH from 1 
(lowest) to 10 (highest), it must have a good reason though. The first 
50 people who E-mail me I will take, so hurry up. When I have the 
results I'll post them in the Harvest Moon GBC GameFAQs Message Board. 
In this update I have added two Game Shark codes that work, so I don't 
get yelled at so much. And last, my Gundam Side Story 0079: 
FAQ/WALKTHOUGH has been posted, I think CJayC likes my work. Don't 
forget to check out the FAQ/WALKTHROUGHs to get us higher on the charts, 
Pokemon pinball and X-Men are beating us.

Version 2.2 (7/30/00)

Okay, big change in plan. I turns out I am moving, but not to worry I'll 
still reply to all mail in one day. I just got my import GBC and import 
Harvest Moon GBC2, so the first version will be up in a matter of 
months. It will be on the Japanese version but when the American version 
comes out I'll change the whole thing. I added a new item to the 'Item' 
section. I also added a new section. JunoGem

Version 2.3 (8/2/00)

Normal update. Come on, I only have 34 votes for Poll #2, if you guys 
don't like the poll, just tell me and it is gone.

3. Story-

This is how the whole thing starts out. Your grandfather has just died 
and you are ever so sad. Then one morning before you wake up you have a 
dream. In it your grandfather tells you that the ranch has been ignored 
and looks really bad. He makes it your duty to fix things up and 
hopefully live a good life. He tells you that he will be back at the end 
of the year and he will grade your work. If you worked hard enough he 
will reward you. If not he will urge you to work harder and give you 
something different.

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



4. Main Goal- 


To become a Ranch Master you have to do the following things. Make sure 
that everything is done or no gift from your grandfather.

1. Eaten at least six Power Berries (Stamina boosters).
2. Own four adult cows.

(grass works best).
8. Shipped at least 4,500 units (food items).

Your grandfather will come on the 30th of Winter every year to give you 
your year-end evaluation. It lasts all day but your animals get fed so 
don't worry. If you worked hard enough you will receive the fishing rod, 
pickax, and umbrella in that order. If you didn't work hard enough he 
will expand your ranch.

NOTE: You can't become Ranch Master until your second year because you 
can't eat six Power Berries available.

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



5. Characters-


Here's a list off all the characters in the game.

1. You: This character can be a male (Jack) or a female (no default 
name). Essentially, this character is you. You can name you self using 
up to four letters or symbols.

2. Nina: Nina is the botanist of town and will sell you crop seeds and 
grass seeds. She also gives you the watering can after your first 
purchase. She works at the Flower Shop. 

3. Eve: She works at the Juice Bar. She will sell you stamina recovering 
drinks, some you can take home, the others you drink there.

4. Ann: She works at the Tool Shop and will sell you any tools you need. 
She'll sell you the Cheese Maker and the Butter Maker in the second 
year.

5. Maria: She is the local priest at the Church. She will let you pray 
and tell you your fortune. The more you pray the better your fortune.

6. Ellen: She works at the Restaurant and will sell you tasty treats. 
Some you eat on the spot and the others are for meals.

7. Carpenter: Go to the Carpenter Shop to buy wood for fences or 
extensions. Wood sells for 50 pieces for 500 Gold. He'll also expand 
your house for 5,000 Gold and 250 pieces of lumber the first time and 
10,000 Gold and 500 pieces of lumber.

8. Livestock Dealer: He works at the Animal Shop and will sell you 
animals, animal feed, and potions. You can also sell unwanted animals 
there.

9. 3 Harvest Sprites: These mystical creatures live in the cave behind 
the shed and will work for you if you are nice to them. Give one of the 
Harvest Sprites one mushroom every other day after they work for you to 
get extra money. Also free Sprite #1 from the rock with your hammer and 
he'll be very grateful.

10. Ranch Spirit. This is your grandfather. He comes on Winter 29th of 
every year to evaluate your work. He'll either give you a gift or expand 
your ranch.

11. Harvest Goddess: This is the evil leader of the Harvest Sprites. Her 
and her minions will one day kill you... just kidding. She upgrades your 
Axe and tells the Harvest Sprites what to do.

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

6. Animals-

Pet: This is your dog or cat depending on what you picked at the 
beginning of the game. Name it up to a four letter name. If you have a 
friend you can trade pets via the Game Link Cable.

Foal: This is your trusty horse you get later in the game. After you buy 
the saddlebags it becomes a huge help around the farm.

Cows: These you can buy for five thousand (5,000) Gold or breed. They 
have three stages: baby, calve, adult. When they are an adult you can 
milk them and sell them for various prices (prices listed in Shippable 
Items section).

Chickens: These you can buy for five hundred (500) Gold or hatch. They 
are in two stages: chick and chicken. You don't need to feed chicks. 

Foxes: They run across the screen when you don't move. They are 
harmless.

Squirrels: They run across the screen when you don't move. They are 
harmless.

Frogs: You find these guys in the grass when you cut it. All they do is 
hop away. They're harmless.

Birds: When you leave your house in the morning there may be birds 
outside. They're harmless.

Rabbits: If you stay still long enough, one my run across the land. They 
are harmless.

Moles: These are the cutest little things you've ever seen. They too are 
harm... YEAH RIGHT!!! These things drive me nuts. They eat your crops if 
you don't pick them, and on walks with your cows they scare the CRAP out 
of them. There's no way to get rid of them. Not even your sickle can 
solve this problem.

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

11. Items-

Cactus: This is a plant you get after you get all three gifts and become 
Ranch Master. 

Axe: It takes six hits to break up a stump when using it. If you move 
the D-pad you will have to start over. You start with this.

Golden Axe: After the earthquake go to the upper room with your Axe in 
hand and go to the edge of the area. Press "A" and you'll throw the Axe 
in. The Harvest Goddess will come out and ask you if it's yours, say NO. 
She will give it to you for being honest. It takes one hit to break up a 
stump.

Hammer: You use this to break the boulders on your ranch. If you move 
your character you must hit the boulder six more times. It takes six 
hits to break a boulder. You start out with this.

Golden Hammer: During your second expansion the carpenter will come to 
your ranch and ask if he can use your hammer (to use on your house). If 
you say YES he'll improve it before he returns it back to you, if you 
say NO, you're in trouble. It can break up a boulder with one hit.

Sickle: You use this to cut grass to feed your animals with. Don't use 
it on weeds because it is a waste of time and energy, and it doesn't 
turn into feed (would you even want it to?). You start out with this 
tool.

Golden Sickle: After you give the Harvest Sprites a total of 30 
mushrooms Harvest Sprite #1 (the one in the main cave) will ask you how 
the sickle works. If you say it works well he will take it and improve 
it. If you say  it's not he'll tell you that you're using it wrong and 
you'll never get it. He'll give it to you in twelve real hours. The 
Golden Sickle cuts a 3x3 square around you.

Hoe: You use this to till your fields. You need to till the soil before 
you can grow grass and plants on the ground. It tills one square of soil 
in front of you when you use it. You start out with this.

Golden Hoe: After the Golden Sickle is yours talk to Harvest Sprite #1 
and he'll ask you the same thing about the Hoe that he did the Sickle. 
Say that the hoe works well and in 24 real hours you'll have the Golden 
Hoe which tills six squares in front of you. Say it doesn't work well 
and you can kiss the tool good-bye.

Watering Can: You use this tool to water your crops. It waters one 
square in front of you. You receive this after you purchase your first 
bag of seeds unless you're a female (see why later down my FAQ).

Sprinkler: This is an upgraded Watering Can that waters a 3x3 square 
around your body. You can buy this on Spring 18th for 2,000 Gold.

Cow Feed: If you run out of grass you can use  this to feed your cows. 
It cost 700 Gold for twelve meals.

Chicken Feed: Its the same as Cow Feed but it's for Chickens. I don't 
know why, but its cheaper than Cow Feed. It costs 500 Gold.

Cow Brush: Buy this from the Tool Shop before you get a cow. Brush your 
cow with it every day to keep it happy. It costs 800 Gold.

Cow Bell: You use this to call your cows, then the cows will follow you. 
It's easier to use this than to move your cows yourself. You get this 
for free when you purchase your first cow.

Miracle Potion: You use this to impregnate your cows. Raised cows grow 
faster than bought ones. They also produce better milk faster. It costs 
4,000 Gold.

Cow Medicine: Use this to cure sick Cows. It costs 1,000 Gold.

Saddlebags: You use these to ship crops thru your foal. They cost 2,500 
Gold. 

Vaccine: This was a big secret that I figured out. The "Cow First Aid 
Kit" is the Cow Medicine during the second year only. It keeps your cows 
from becoming unhappy for one whole season. It cost 2,000 Gold.

Fishing Pole: This is the first gift from your grandfather which allows 
you to fish in the northern cave.

Pickax: Use this in the left cave to break the pillars to find some 
Power Berries. This is the second gift from your grandfather.

Umbrella: This is the third and best gift from your grandfather. It 
makes it rain for one day and waters all of your crops. Did you really 
think you would get this valuable tool first???

Butter Maker: You can buy this during your third year for 30,000 Gold. 
It will turn cows' milk into butter which sells for more money than 
milk.

Cheese Maker: You can buy this during your third year for 30,000 Gold. 
It will turn cows' milk into cheese which sells for more money than 
milk.

Gold for ten.
