Harvest Moon - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Harvest Moon - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

NOTE: The reason *s are in front of each tip is because whenever I use 
bullet marks they come out as question marks.

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



14. Differences between genders-


If you're a male...

* Hurricanes can damage your fence.
* It takes longer to get the sprinkler.
* It takes longer to get the saddlebags.


If you're a female...

* Hurricanes don't affect your fence.
* You start with the watering can and one bag of turnips, potatoes, and 
grass. This only works if you start your name with a HEART symbol.   
* You get the sprinkler earlier.
* You get the saddlebags earlier.

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



15. Difference between pets-


If you have a dog...

* Wild dogs can destroy your fence.
* Wild dogs can kill your chickens.
* If you keep it outside it will scare of moles.


If you have a cat...

* No wild dogs. 

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



16. Rumors-

The baby cow in two days trick doesn't work, don't waste your money... 
unless you don't believe me.

Having a cat does not prevent hurricanes.

Having a cat does not get you free seeds.

Pressing "A", "B", Start, and Select at the same time does not give you 
anything. If you have your Timer Function on it can advance the date on 
your game. 

The Reapearing Egg trick does not work (shipp all eggs, turn off game, 
repeat...).

You can't trade your pet for a bag of seeds. Plus, what kind of person 
would do that (I have to admit, I tried it)?

The sell an egg for the price of a chicken trick is totally fake. Don't 
waste your time.

Grow an Egg: Wait until your chicken lays an egg above the shipping bin 
and water the egg. It will turn into a piece of fence. Pick it up and 
sell it. There are about 99 pieces of fence. If you do this code you 
can't expand your house.

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



17. Glitches-

Here are some glitches that are really annoying:


Text Glitch: Sometimes when you are talking to someone the text may mix 
together, it doesn't harm anything, but it's annoying.

Harvest Thieves: This happened to Cluny420. Sometimes the Harvest 
Sprites won't give you back your tools.

Too Sloooooooooooow Glitch: When you are with your livestock your 
character may move slowly.

Move along little froggy: When you cut your grass, a frog may appear. If 
one does, your character may move slowly. You'll move at normal speed 
once the frog is gone.

Stolen Sprinkler: Sometimes when you give the Harvest Sprites your tools 
they will steal your Sprinkler and have to buy a new one. It doesn't 
really harm anything unless your low on money.

Bird Feet: When Ellen loses her bird your cows' feet will turn in to 
birds.

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



18. In Game Codes-


Here are some codes that work without using cheats:


Soggy Mushrooms: Go up to a mushroom with the empty watering can and 
press "A" and it will fill up with water.

Golden Hen: I figured this one out too, this was harder than the other 
code though. Trade a chicken with a friend, use the same number though 
(i.e. Hen #1). Then, if your lucky you will both have a Golden Hen which 
gives you a Golden Egg daily. There is a 1 in 64 chance this will happen 
though.

Free Money: Look on your desk by your bed before expanding your house to 
get 1,000 Gold.

Blessed Cow: Every day pray at the Church at least ten times. After you 
have your first cow the Harvest Goddess will bless one cow. It will 
always be happy and produce large milk.

Lucky to be a Girl: Be a girl for some free seeds (see 'Difference 
between genders' section).

Instant Eggs. Use the original sickle only. Throw an egg on the wall 
above the shipping bin and use the sickle once, sell the egg, repeat. 
Use this code over and over.

Cows Grow Faster: Start the name of your cows with a symbol and they 
will grow faster and produce better milk sooner.

Cool Cow Code
Don't feed one of your cows so it won't be happy. Feed it and brush it 
and talk to it every day until it's happy again (four or five days). And 
it will have skipped ahead one, two, or three stages! (sometimes doesn't 
work when they don't produce milk yet)

stage 1: Baby Cow (optional with M Potion)
stage 2: Medium cow
stage 3: Cow Small milk
stage 4: Cow Medium milk
stage 5: Cow Large milk

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

Game Boy Color and my Nintendo 64. I got all of these codes from the

20. FAQ-

Here are some questions I've been getting in the mail already. Some may 
seem stupid but I will not tell who wrote these letters. Don't forget, 
not all of us are masters at the game. 


Q: Why can't I go to some festivals when I wake up?
A: This one is easy, sometimes the festivals don't occur until 6:00 P.M. 
Also, if the weather is bad that day or the day before it may not 
happen. Last, if you have the Timer Function on and the Harvest Sprites 
work for you and it goes into the day before or the day of the festival, 
your S.O.L. (S**t outta luck).

Q: How come I never see some of the animals?
A: Some animals only appear when you don't move for a while. Also, they 
are too quick to see with the naked eye. I know the animals are real 
because I asked Natsume and they told me.

Q: Those damn Harvest Sprites stole my tools, and I want them back!!!
A: First, calm down. Second, wait a while and see if they give them 
back. Don't forget you have to wait real hours. Third, I know this can 
be a little depressing but you may need to restart your game. Fourth, if 
this doesn't work, hit your game with a hammer. Repeat, if necessary. I 
have now heard that if you turn the Timer on FAST they will give them 
back.

Q: Where can I buy the Harvest Moon games?
A: Mostly anywhere video-games are sold. Harvest Moon for SNES may be 
hard to find and there is no hope of getting a new one. The games have 
become so popular that even K-Mart have them. If you can't find them 
call Natsume at (650)-692-1941 or Nintendo at (800)-255-3700.

Q: How do you take your cows for walks?
A: To take a cow on a walk use the bell or push your cows to the barn 
door. Then push them out. When you leave the barn you will be with your 
cow. You can only take one cow on a walk at a time.

Q: Why can't I hold the two tools I want to hold at the same time.
A: When you pick up a tool you will notice that one tool goes back. If 
your hands don't have any tools you will just pick that tool up. If you 
have tools with you but not in your hands you put back the tool in hand 
two. If you have a tool in hand one or two you will put that tool back.

Q: I had the Harvest Sprites upgrade my tools and they took my Sprinkler 
and I had to buy a new one, why is this?
A: This is a glitch in the game which happened to me. You only have to 
buy a new Sprinkler.

Q: What give you the time and ability to do a FAQ/WALKTHROUGH?
A: Caffeine, and lots of it. Also, I was sick so I decided to do 
something other than sleep.

Q: How do you put your grass into the Silo?
A: It goes there after you cut it. Don't forget, weeds don't turn into 
Fodder.

Q: How does the cow happiness rate affect your year-end evaluation?
A: It doesn't, it just tells you how nice you are to ol' Bessy.

Q: How do you get your cows to have a higher happiness rate?
A: Take them for walks, feed them daily, brush them daily, and milk them 
daily (even if they wont give you milk).

Q: I just planted my seeds and the Harvest Sprites won't water them. 
Why???
A: You may have left the Timer on or you may not be treating them good 
enough. Remember, the more you plant, the more the work, the better you 
have to treat the Harvest Sprites.

Q: Why won't the Harvest Sprites work for me? 
A: There are a few answers for this one. First of all, you may not be 
treating them well enough. They will say "Thank you!!! We will also try 
to help you" when they will start working for you. Number two, you may 
have left the Timer on. The Harvest Sprites can only work for you once 
every 24 hours. You may have hit them with too many tools. Last but not 
least, you may have given them way to much work to do.

Q: I just got the fishing pole, where do I fish?
A: Go to the northern cave and go to the sign that says "Don't throw 
anything into the Spring. From Harvest Goddess". Now stand on the bench 
and get the tool out and press "A".

Q: How do I fish?
A: Press "A" and you will throw the line into the pond. When the line 
vibrates, press "A" again to reel it in. You may catch a can, shoe, or a 
fish.

Q: I just got the pickax, now what do I do with it?
A: Go to the left cave an use it to find some Power Berries.

Q: What order do I get the presents from Grandpa in?
A: More land, Fishing Pole, Pickax, Umbrella, Ranch Master. You will 
always get Ranch Master after you have all of the special tools.

Q: In the First Year Eve losses her bird, where do I find it?
A: It's on the sign in front of the Silo. If it's not there go into the 
chicken coop then come back out. Go up to the bird and press "A". 

Q: The Harvest Sprites never hand me back my tools, why?
A: They don't give you the tools, they put them in the shed.

Q: Is there any sure way to get the tools back from the Harvest Sprites?
A: I have heard that if you turn the Timer Function on FAST for 24 hours 
you'll get the tool back, but I'm not sure. 

Q: What does the Umbrella do?
A: It makes it rain/snow so your plants get watered faster.

Q: How long does it for one egg to hatch? 
A: Three days.

Q: How long does it take for a cow to give birth?
A: 22 days.

Q: I like Harvest Moon 64 and I think this FAQ is pretty good, when is 
you HM64 FAQ coming out?
A: I am still working on it and it is already pretty long. Plus, HM64 
has a lot of FAQs already and only the best can be put up there. If you 
do have any questions about the game, just E-mail me. Plus, I'm making 
new FAQ/WALKTHROUGHs all the time, and you know what, I like 'em.

Q: What animal do you reccomend getting first, chicken or cow?
A: Chicken, they will get you the cash you need to get a cow.

Q: What pet do you reccomend?
A: I like the Dog because it prevents moles.

That's all for now, please E-mail me with some more.

21. Walkthrough-                        UPDATED

I promised a walkthrough and here it is. I'm almost done with Summer, 
but it will take a while. I deleted the key, to many complaints. I just 
labeled the days. My Walkthrough does not include rainy days or 
Hurricanes because I can't predict when they will happen.


Year 1:


Spring:

Sunday 1st: Today is your first day one the ranch. You will name 
yourself and your dog. Your deceased grandfather tells you what he wants 
you to do and when he will come back. After you go through the little 
section with your grandfather you will be in your house. Look for the 
1,000 Gold next to your bed in the drawers. The reason it's called 
"Grandpa's Rainy Day Money" is because on rainy days your grandpa was a 
young gambler. He went to Las Vegas and always won the penny slots. 
Although, on one terrible day, he met Mr. Alcohol and got married to an 
ugly waitress from McDonalds. Just kidding. Now start working on your 
field by cutting stumps, breaking rocks and boulders, and de-weeding 
your field. This will take about four to five days to finish. Before 
that, go to Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Don't forget to 
pray at least ten times everyday for the Blessed Cow Code.

Monday 2nd: You are still working on your field. Just work as long as 
you can. Before that, go to Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Tuesday 3rd: Still working on your field. Before that, go to Harv1est 
Sprites and give them the mushrooms. You should get the Power Berry 
today from the Harvest Sprites.

Wednesday 4th: If your done with all that work, you should till all of 
your ranch so you can't see the dirty ground. Before that, go to Harvest 
Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Thursday 5th: You should be done by now, but if your not finish today. 
After your done, go to the town and buy two bags of potatoes. Then plant 
them at home. You don't need to water seeds the day you plant them. 
Before that, go to Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Friday 6th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Now 
go and water you plants. There's not to much to do right now though. So 
go to the Church and pray. Also, now is the time to do something that 
may help you. What you do is grab you fence and put it in you material 
shed to gain material. One fence piece is worth two material.

Saturday 7th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. 
Then water your crops. Do whatever you want to do.

Sunday 8th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Then 
water your crops. Do whatever you want to do.

Monday 9th: Same as the past few days. Don't forget to watch the weather 
channel for rainy days.

Tuesday 10th: Today, you get a foal (that's horse if you didn't know). 
You can't ride him yet, but you will be able to near the end of Spring. 
Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Wednesday 11th: It's your first harvest!!! Ship all your crops and go 
see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Thursday 12th: Go and do the Harvest Sprite ritual (feeding them) and 
water the crops that didn't harvest.

Friday 13th: See those little Harvest Sprites and feed them. Then pick 
the rest of the crops that finally grew. Then go to the Flower Shop and 
buy two bags of potato seeds. For now on you will most likely want to 
plant at least four crops at a time. Plant the seeds.

Saturday 14th: Water your plants and then go to the Harvest Sprites. Go 
to town an see what is happening. Check your fortune for laughs.

Sunday 15th: Go water your plants again. Then go to the Harvest Sprites 
and give them two mushrooms for the last time. Then do whatever you want 
to do.

Monday 16th: Water you plants and hurry. Now, run to Harvest Spite #1 
and talk to him. He'll ask you how your sickle is working. Tell him it's 
working great and he'll upgrade it for you in 12 real hours. Then give 
him a mushroom and sell the other.

Don't play your game for one day.

Tuesday 17th: Water your plants and talk to Harvest Sprite #1 and he'll 
ask about the hoe. Tell him it's working fine and he'll upgrade it is 24 
real hours. Give him one mushroom and sell the other. Do whatever you 
need to do. 

Don't play your game for two days

Wednesday 18th. Go to the Harvest Sprites and sell both mushrooms. For 
now on, you only need to feed the Harvest Sprites once every other day. 
Now run to the Tool Shop and buy the Sprinkler. Now you can water your 
plants.

Thursday 19th. Water your seeds and then go to the Harvest Sprites and 
give them one mushroom and sell the other. Go to the Church and pray. I 
wont tell you to pray anymore because it takes up time and some people 
just don't want to pray because they don't care about blessing cows.

Friday 20th. Another harvest!!! Sell your crops which will take up a lot 
of time. Then go to the Harvest Sprites and sell both mushrooms. Then go 
to the Tool Shop and buy the Saddlebags.

Saturday 21st. Water you plants then give one mushroom to the Harvest 
Sprites and sell the other. Then go into town and buy four bags of 
grass. Then buy some food for meal time. Go home and plant your grass, I 
recommend you plant it in the upper-left hand corner of you ranch. I 
wont tell you when to cut your grass because you may not want to cut it 
at some points of the game. Then go to the Juice Bar when it opens and 
buy drinks for meal times.

Sunday 22nd. Water your crops and sell both mushrooms. Not much to do 
today.

Monday 23rd. Pick the crops and sell them. Then sell one mushroom and 
give the other away. Then go buy four bags of turnips and plant them.

Tuesday 24th. Water the crops and sell both mushrooms. Then go to town 
and buy any food if you need it.

Wednesday 25th. Water your crops and sell one mushroom. Give the other 
one to the Harvest Sprite in the left cave because he's my favorite.

Thursday 26th. Water the turnips and sell both mushrooms. Since this is  
short part at the end of each month I will have a part that tells you 
what to have.

Friday 27th. Water the turnips and sell one mushroom, give the other 
away. Now turn around ten times and try not to vomit. Just trying to 
waste time for you. 

Saturday 28th. One of the girls will come over and ask you if they can 
have the picnic here. Say "yes" Pick the turnips and sell them. Sell 
both mushrooms.

Sunday 29th. Go to the picnic. Have some fun. Then sell one mushroom and 
give the other away. Go to bed.

Monday 30th. Pick the turnips. Then sell both mushrooms.
