Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland

 


How to Get the Dog

When you begin the game, you'll notice several stray dogs wandering around. If you approach them, they'll run away. To woo a dog to your yard, keep putting food in his bowl. Anything will do: grass, eggs, berries. When you place these food s in the bowl, they immediately turn into doggie mush. After a while, you will notice the dog appearing at your farm more and more. keep trying to pick up the dog (X). At some point, he will let you pick him up, and he will be yours!



How to Get the Horse

To get the horse, you'll have to visit Bob's farm quite a bit. Do part-time work taking care of his horses and cows and give him lots of presents. Eventually, after a solid chunk of work (a season or more), he'll bring a horse to you.

Fishing Rod

Go to the Cafe as soon as the new day begins and you will see a carpenter. After the intermission sequence he will explain and give you the rod.



More Money

( the following cheat can only be used once you own a kitchen)

When your cow produces large milk do not go and sell it because you will only get 300$$. If you go into your kitchen, walk up to the pot and press X. put the L milk in the pot and press START. You will then have fresh cheese instead of milk and it sells for 500$$ so you end up getting 500 instead of 300 for your cows L milk

Fishing

To find out where the fish in the lake is, there is a dark circle in the lake when you throw the bobber in. Get in the circle to get it all the time.



When fishing, rotate the Left Analog-stick without pressing [X] you should feel the controller pulse or rumble very quickly. When it catches, it should be a fish. To tell if it is a big fish, if it darts around everywhere with lots of restraint, reel it in.



Fodder

When work at the part-time job at Bob's farm, go into the barn to feed his animals. Feed the animals and you will have two left over. Every day, repeat this process, but use the leftover fodder in your backpack. Everyday you will have two more leftover fodder.



Weather

There will be a lot of clouds in the sky if it is about to rain. There are always clouds in fall, so you will have to watch the television to learn if it is going to rain.



It is very easy to tell if it is a rainy day. When you wake up, if there is music playing then it is a sunny day. However, if there is no music playing, then it is a rainy day.



Secret store

There is a secret "store" in the big mansion near the farm store where you can sell almost everything but you cannot buy anything. The store is on a piece of paper near the refrigerator at the mansion.



Free animal fodder

Take a part time job at Brownie Farms when you are feeding the animals fodder You can steal whatever is left over by putting it in your pack.



Easy money

To make a lot more money very quickly, raise as many cows as you can until they can give out L Milk. After that, keep the milk for about one season, then sell it all. You should get at least 15,000G.



This may be slightly difficult when you are starting out, but is a good way to easily make at least 30,000G in a relatively short period of time. First, buy the Brush for the horses and cows and the Milker from Louis' Store. Then, go to the Farmer's Supply store next to Brownie Farm and then buy as many cows as possible (five if you do not currently have any). This will cost a lot, but it will pay off. Brush and milk these cows until they produce L Milk. Go back to the Farmer's Supply and sell all of the cows. You will receive 30,000G and you can sell all of that good milk they gave you.



Go to the Grocery Store and buy as many S Milks as possible. Then, go to your kitchen and turn them into cheese. Then, go to the Cafe/Bar and sell the cheese for a small profit.



Note: This is a ten day process. When you start with 100G, do part-time work. Leave immediately then go in the store before 8:05 a.m. and ask for part-time work. Brush the horses and cow. Talk to them and milk the cow. Put the fodder in the bins. Note: If done correctly, you will have two extra fodder (put in dog dish). Then go outside and wait until he calls you out at 5:00 p.m. On your way home, stop at Louis' tool shop and sell the milk. By now, you should have 820G. The next day, stop at the supermarket. Buy one egg then go towards the flower shop. Buy six potato seeds and sixteen breadfruit seeds. You should have 330G remaining. Then, go home and cut grass until you find a power berry. Next, till up two or three of your dirt fields and put the egg in the incubator. The chick will hatch in three days. Note: Eggs are better given away than sold. Next, sleep. Then, plant your potatoes in one field and breadfruit in the other two (or just in one if you are out of energy).



To get fast money, put all your money in potatoes. Plant them. When you buy them, you spend will 20G, but they are sold for 60G. Also, they grow quickly. Note: Plant them the day before a rainfall so you do not have to water them. Use the television to find out if it is going to rain.



This trick requires six chickens, If you do not already have that amount, buy some eggs at the store and put them in the incubator. Once you have six chickens, in the morning collect all the eggs, but keep them. Do not use, give, or sell them. Once you have done all the chores around the farm, sell all of your chickens. After you have sold them, you should get about 1,000 G. You will still have chickens. Go back to your farm and put one of your eggs in the incubator. keep doing this until you have all your chickens back.
