Harvest Moon Save The Homeland - CAKE CONTEST

Level : Medium
MY FAVOURITE ENDING

It's easy when you already have golden egg and golden milk, just be friended with Dia (she loves blueberries) and she will give Katie a book, and then Katie will try to make a cake to win the contest, then Katie will ask your help, bla bla ...

This is my favorite part: You will need a MoonDrop Dew and you need to go the Goddess Lake to create that with the girl that loves you! Then both of your love with make a MoonDrop Dew *I'm blushing, almost crying*. Then Katie will use it to make a cake.

Then, as an ending, Katie, Lyla and Gwen will show up in front of your house and tell you that you've saved the homeland. And Katie tell you that she will be off to the town to learn about culinary, then your character will be quiet for a second, (probably gazing into Katie's eyes) and agrees in a gentleman way. *blushing again*

Harvest Moon Save The Homeland - THE BLUEBIRD

Level: Easy

All you gotta do is be friended with the Louis, he will give a flute. Use it to train your dog, and you'll be able to play the flute. When you're an expert, go to the lake at afternoon, and you will get a cut-scene. Louis is giving food to the birds and tells you a story about the blue bird. He says that people believe blue bird's feather brings happiness, and he wishes that blue bird will appear and save the homeland (which it's actually you that save the homeland). Then bring your flute with you, go to the lake at afternoon once again, and Louis and you will play a duet! DON'T MESSED UP THE DUET! Then both of you will see the blue-bird flying. Taadaa!!

Harvest Moon Save The Homeland, Azure Flower

Level: Hard

I think this ending is girly, be friended with Lila and she will give you a seed that you have to plant in the Goddess Area. See the one soil ground in the Goddess Area? That's where you will plant the flower. Don't forget to water it everyday. Then, after the flower blooms, a rare butterfly will appear. You and Lila will take the picture using camera from the nerdy guy next to Lila's house, and you will send it to the town people. You've saved the homeland!

Harvest Moon Save The Homeland: ENDING

There are 9 endings in Harvest Moon Save The Homeland (my friends say it's 7, but I think it's 9)

It's ...

  1. The Azure Swallowtail
  2. The Bluebird
  3. The Cake Contest
  4. The Endangered Weasel
  5. A Fishy Story (check my previous post)
  6. The Goddess Dress

HARVEST MOON ROCKS!

FISHING IN HARVEST MOON SAVE THE HOMELAND

In http://www.cheatsguru.com/ps2/harvest_moon_save_the_homeland/questions/1919976/
there's a question about fishing. I love fishing! In harvest moon and in real life. And in Harvest Moon Save The Homeland, my money depends on fishing and my cows. So this is the answer

When you swing your fishing rod to the LAKE near the bar/restaurant (not the Harvest Spirit's pond), there will be an arrow blinking and there's a circle with dark-blue colour. It means a fish (or a trash).


hit X AT THE SAME TIME follow the arrow that'sblinking, like when -> (right) is blinking, then push your analog stick to the right.


After the carpenter guy gave you the fishing rod, keep giving him presents! Now that you got fishing rod, give the little fish that cannot be sale to that guy! Even better if you have a kitchen, you can cook it first! Just click the pan and select fish, then give it to him. He will give you SPECIAL FISHING ROD, and then, you will get the chance to play the ending about the magical fish! You have to catch that fish and the town people that want to destroy the island will stop, because it's a rare fish and they don't want to kill it, bla bla bla ...


Hope this helps!

N.B: I have to wear glasses now, and it's +! The guy at the store said it's because I spent too much time in front of the computer and TV. *typing* *clicking* *playing PS 2* am I? ^_^

I love Jodi Picoult! I love Goenawan Moehammad! I love Pramoedya Ananta Tour! I love Mandiri Bank!

COMPLETE ANSWER

About two days ago, I wrote an answer about Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, http://www.cheatsguru.com/ps2/harvest_moon_a_wonderful_life_special_edition/questions/1722397/
and I wrote about TWILIGHT. Attention!! This is very interesting! In Twilight, you are an old grandpa with a child. If you really want to know what's will happen, read this paragraph, but if you want to solve it by yourself, better not read this, because I will be very honest! Hehehe ...


TWILIGHT

Like I said, you will become an old man with a teenage child, and of course people in Forget-Me-Not Valley already changed (or gone, ex: Nina). All the children grew up. And you will play 4 seasons in Twilight, then ...


YOU'LL ENTER A NEW WORLD, THAT IS ....


HEAVEN
Hurray! You are young, you're child is a teen, your wife is young, and the best of all, you are rich! (well, depends on how you've worked for your life!) There's no ending!

Thinking Bulb

Before I give you the my piece of mind about Harvest Moon, I would like to tell you a story about last night party! I spent my evening working on my hair and make-up, it took 15 minutes for my hair and other 15 minutes for my make-up, and one and a half hour playing PS 2. The party is great, although I'm not much a social-person (I tend to be a loner, like my mom), I love the atmosphere in that building. And I especially love the souvenir they gave, it's a clock with traditional bride and groom. My mom and I will stitch cute things for the clock, and we will use the traditional statue as ... Hmm ... I have no idea, but I will use it anyway! It's so cute ...





Okay ... When I play Harvest Moon in PS 2 and PS 1, there are a lot of questions and ideas in my mind, and they keep bugging me so I've decided to share my questions with you. Help!



Harvest Moon A Wonderful World (PS 2)



  1. Does Takakura have a past? And what would it be? Because he is so tough and quiet. Where does he come from?

  2. I wanna cross that sea~! What can I see if I cross that sea?
  3. When you see the boat in the shore, it's actually your boat (my friends told me that) your father used to travel the village with that. Is it true?

  4. Don't you agree with me if I say that Sebastian loves Romana?

  5. My character seems to be a truly loner, but when I start a new game, it seems that he always smile and bla bla ... I know I'm the one who control him, is it me that have two personality? LOL.


Harvest Moon Back To Nature (PS 1)



  1. I lost my chicken when I took it out from my farm. How could this happen?

  2. In the opening, there's a little girl (your first love). Who do you think she is? Elli? Marry? Karen? Popuri? Or that tomboyish girl in the inn?

  3. What will happen if you sickle one of the girl? I'm not being evil, but I just want to know how she will react.


Harvest Moon Save The Homeland (PS 2)



  1. I want to marry the Harvest Goddess!
  2. I want to build a store in front of Bob's store! (I even dreamt about it in my sleep)
  3. I want to swim!!!
  4. I'm a little annoyed by that bag in my back that keeps moving if I run. I can imagine that sound will be "Boing! Boing! Boing!"
  5. Why is that cow in Bob's farm always gives S Milk, while my cow already gives Golden Milk? That's weird. It's like everything stops growing in Bob's farm.
  6. Does Gwen have a crush on Bob?

There's still a lot of things about Harvest Moon in my head, but I just can't remember it. Maybe I should write them in my harvest moon. Ooh .. Yes! I forget to tell you, I made a harvest moon note, noticing that every time I play Harvest Moon and stop, I forget where to continue. So I write my goals, the name of my wife, my dog's name, what I will do tomorrow, etc ... I'll give you the photo!

I want to buy Harvest Moon Sun Sparking & Friends and Harvest Moon Boy Meets Girl .. !!! I haven't got time to visit my friend's store, and there's no way I will visit the PS 2 store in Bali after I read about sick building syndrome. It's scary! I match all the signs of sick building syndrome and I'm sure I got it from that from the store in Bali!

Bla Bla Bla ...

Here are some random ideas Harvest Moon, most of them are my personal experience ... *yawning* I'm so sleepy, just got out from the plane and spent 2 hours for my beauty sleep ... *yawning* My mother is preparing for this party and same as usual, I always follow her like a duck. LOL. I L.O.V.E my mother! She's the best mom in the world! (I'd love to show you her photo, but ... She didn't agree).


I just read Girlfriend magazine in the plane. The July edition sure is cool!


Well ...

*) Buat yang tinggal di Indonesia !!!!!!
==========>KAMU BISA MEMBELI BUKU TIPS HARVEST MOON!<===========
Karena banyak sekali teman-temanku yang mengeluh nggak bisa main harvest moon ... Nggak ngerti caranya. Ada bukunya lho! Aku udah punya
  1. Harvest Moon Back To Nature (PS 1)
  2. Harvest Moon Save The Homeland (PS 2),
  3. Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life (PS 2)
  4. Harvest Moon Innocent Life / Futuristic Harvest Moon (PS 2)

*) Harvest Moon is a RPG--Role Playing Game--so if you find that you love it very much, maybe you're a RPG lover! Check out other Harvest Moon series or maybe what Natsume published! It's cool! You'll probably love The Sims too, I found that mostly the Harvest Moon fans enjoy playing The Sims.

*) This has nothing to do with Harvest Moon, but Metropolismania is cool! It's Natsume!

====================================================================

Personally, I never play Harvest Moon using the cheat. I never pay attention to the Harvest Moon cheat at all! (maybe because I know if I look at it, I'll try it. LOL) It ruins the whole game!

Wait for the next posts! There are some special tips about cut-scene for Harvest Moon A Wonderful World!

Tips for MAKING MONEY in Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life: Special Edition (PS2)

I was googling randomly and found this tips. Thank you Amjad Farhan!!!


Tips for MAKING MONEY in Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life: Special Edition (PS2)Don't actually know whether it would work in HMAWLI'm giving all of you a complete set of 'Money - Making Guide'.

Table of Contents:
1. Planting turnips (starting Method)
2. Fishing
3. Collecting wild plants and flowers (saving Money - Method)
4. Digsite/Excavation site
5. Banana trees
6. Seed maker
7. Dhibe cakes
8. Eggplants
9. Normal cow
10. Star cow
11. Golden eggs
12. Yams
13. S - rank crops/seeds (hybridizing Method)
14. Befriend Van (enchanting Method for you to make profits)
15. About the guide and me/The Author1)


Planting turnips
Just plant about 25 turnips and change it to pickle turnip in salad menu (cooking menu). One turnip is required to make a pickle turnip. After about 22-24 pickle turnips that you have made, you will unlock Dessert and Entree menu which are new cooking methods that can offer you to cook more dishes. This will be really - really useful afterwards.Note: Pickle turnip can be sold for 25G (same price as the normal/raw turnip)2)


Fishing
This is the secret.Keep fishing and fishing.After unlocking the Entree menu, go to it and use one fish to make a sashimi. Sell it to Van and he will offer 150G for each of the sashimi. Say 'no' until he offers for a higher price which is 180G each!Tips: Use fish which has a value below than 150G.This is because you can turn it to sashimi to sell it.For fish which has the price higher than 150G, just sell it to Van such as Sharsharks and Huge Rainbob.3)


Collecting wild plants and flowers (saving Money - Method)Collect them, sell them, eat them and give it to your cat or dog. Don't ever eat/drink milk! It's a major waste! Here's the list:

Spring:*Mugworts: 15G Goddess Drop Flowers - 15G Toy flowers - 10G
Summer:*Royal Ferns - 15G Happy Lamp Flowers - 15G Mist Moon Flowers - 10G
Fall:*Hackberry - 20G *Matsutake - 25G *Toadstool - 100G *Bracken - 15GGemsoil - 20G Trick Blue Flowers - 10GWinter:*Sorrel - 20G Upseed Flowers - 25G Amorous Flowers - 10GNote: * means edible/can be eaten4)


Digsite/Excavation siteGo to the Digsite and dig as many and as long as you desire.You can sell the artifacts/fossils/statues to Van or give it to the villagers to befriend them. The more chapters that you go, there will be more artifacts that can be discovered which have a higher and better price.

Chapter 1Coin: 10G Skull Fossil: 50G Human Statue: 40G Moon Ore: 40GTablet C

Chapter 2 Sugar Ore: 50G Fossil: 40G Horse Statue: 70G Silver Coin: 40GTablet D

Chapter 3 Hip Fossil: 60G Hop Ore: 80G Jade Ball: 150G/180G*Tablet E

Chapter 4Gold Coin: 50G Strange Fossil: 100G Strange Item: 300G/360G*Tablet FNote: * means if haggled5)


Banana trees
To get money as soon as you can, buy banana seeds from Vesta. Plant them in one of your fields (I recommend the first field near your house). Now just wait until next year (you don't have to water your trees). During chapter 2 spring, your banana trees should flower and in summer (maybe not in the 1st day of Summer), you will see bananas at your tree. After that, collect the bananas. Now, if you have a seed maker, turn all (or most) of the bananas into banana seeds. Once they have become seeds, take them to Van, haggle the price, and sell it.6) Seed MakerThis extension is a MUST if you want to turn your fruit/crops to seeds. You can either buy it for 6000G or befriend Daryl to get one for free. Once his head turns toward you as you pass him by, go to his house at around the evening (I think so). You should get the cut-scene where he will give you the free seed maker. However, remember that you cannot get the free seed maker if you've talked to Takakura and he's offered to buy it for you. The seed maker will be in your ledger for 6000G if you've talked to Takakura, which mean that you will not get the free seed maker. So now, just turn all or most of the banana fruits to banana seeds which can be sell for 140G each. If haggled, you can sell it for 168G eachTips: Each fruit will give two seeds and it will take several days to turn it to seeds. You can also store some for hybridizing.7) Dhibe cakesIn chapter 2, after getting tartan. Once you have him and the hybridize option,make some dhibe seeds using turnip and strawberry (seeds is better because it can save a lots of money if it has accidentally failed ). Plant as many dhibe seeds as you want. Once they are fully grown, harvest them. Then, go to your kitchen (you'll need the dessert option). Use the recipe for dhibe cakes (dessert --> dhibe, milk, egg = dhibe cake).Take your dhibe cakes to Van, remember to haggle the price, and sell them to him.Note: Each dhibe cake can be haggled for 2010G each.8) EggplantsThis crop can be sold for lots of money. It requires about 9 - 10 days to be harvested. Here's the hybridizing table:Bashber + MeloberBashber + KashryBashber + PaberrytaBashber + GretomaGretoma + MeloberGretoma + KashryGretoma + TobatamaKashry + MeloberMelotoma + TobatamaMelotoma + PotameloMelober + PotameloNote: If I am not mistaken, each Eggplant can be sold for 800G (if I am wrong, mail me). I think if it is haggled, it can reach as much as 960G.9) Normal CowYou will get a Normal Cow when you first started this game. Take good care of her and this includes snuggling, talking to her and brushing her as well.In about the middle Fall and Winter, after you had take a good care of her, she will produce S - rank milks. Each S-rank milk can be sell for 150G and if can be haggled, 180G each. If you already purchased Food Processing Room for 30 000G, turn all the milk that you have to butter or cheese. Here's the price:Butter Maker:Normal Milk B = Butter (average quality) - 225G to 270G*Normal Milk A = Butter (average quality) - 225G to 270G*Normal Milk S = Good Butter - 300G to 360G*Mother's Milk = Mother's Butter - 115G to 138G** = means if haggledNote: The price for the cheese is also the same as the butter's price depending on the it's gred.10) Star CowEach Star cow costs you 7000G. If you have take a good care of her, she will produce S - rank milk.Here's the price:B - Grade = 270G A - Grade = 405G S - Grade = 540GButter/cheese = 300G (all grade)Tips: I recommend you to change B - rank milk only to cheese or butter not the A-rank and S-rank milk.11) Golden eggsYour chicken will be giving you golden egg once they have 10 hearts. Also, you need to keep snuggling, talking and watch their health in order to make them to give you the golden eggs. Each golden egg can be sell for 300G and can be haggled until 360G.12) YamsThis method is not actually recommended because it takes too much time. But, if you have planted some yams and if you are considering to sell it, I advice you to change it to food which can be more profitable.> Grill Yam (Dessert menu) 75G> Yam Soup (Soup menu) 110G to 132G---> Both of this recipes require only one yam only to change it to dishes13) S - Rank Crops/Seeds (hybridizing method) (enchanting Method for you to make profits)Crops can be sold for more profits when they are at a better gred. To make a B - rank crops to S - rank, you must hybridize the crops/seeds with Tartan and with the required flowers. Use this flowers to any crop to improve its quality and characteristics. The more flowers you hybridized the crops/seeds, the higher the price. Happy Lamp - A green circle appears next to the seed's name, red in colour, >>>plants can be grown at any season if hybridized.Gemsoil - Black circle appears next to it, a looking - pale flower, >>>plants can be grown at any type of soil.Upseed - A red and bluish - looking flower>>>Improves seed's (only crops not trees) quality to S - rank if hybridized.14) Befriend VanThis is not a tip for making money but this is actually an important key for you to make one. After you had sell and buy something from him, he will be your friend. You can also give him statues, eggs and cooked food when he comes to open his shop. This will increase the chances for you to haggle the price for a better and more satisfying profit. This haggling method will just work for something which has a value of more than 100G (this does not include 100G) and it requires patience and a few tries before he offers for a better price. Also, you can decrease the price of the goat from 4000G to 1200G.Tips: After you unlocked Entree and Dessert option, keep cooking (does not matter if it still the same recipe) until you unlock a new cooking option which is the Main Dish (you need to cook about 7-10 more foods in order to unlock it)Tips: If I am not mistaken, each thing that can be haggled can actually increased the price of that thing to as much as 20%. So play smart because this haggling processes are proven to be very - very beneficial and profitable.The end.....About the guide and me/The AuthorI actually have two differs game play. The first one is until Spring the third chapter which was a trial (and I managed to get a lot of experiences from it) and the other one is until Spring chapter 2. (Still don't have tartan and still can't harvest the bananas that I have planted. But this one turns to be very successful because I managed to bought Food Processing Room for 30 000G,already have seed maker gave by Daryl, five chickens, a pond and 57000G more for me to buy the Great Field for my next strategy. This guide was made during November 2006 yet I lost the guide because several viruses managed to enter and struck my computer. Considering of the high requests for a Money - Making Guide from the fans of Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life: Special Edition around the world, I remake this guide during December 29th 2007. I posted this guide during the February 2nd 2008 because I am quite busy. This is actually my personal 2nd Guide.So I hope that this guide will actually help all of you who love Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life: Special Edition very much. Sorry for the mistakes, grammatical and typing errors that I wrote/typed and sorry for the inconvenience because I am actually not good in English. Thank for those who spend their time reading my guide and to Natsume and Marvelous for designing and creating this fascinating game. Any neither comments nor suggestions can be sent to me at: amjadwar@yahoo.com. Last, but not least, please do not use any part of my guide without my permission or without my knowledgement.================================================================================Copyright (c) 2007 Amjad Farhan/Soul Eliminator/Disaster2006/Mononoke (The Beast)

Japan Version Harvest Moon

I was looking for random ps2 games, and I went to my friend's store, I saw Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, I WANT IT SO BADLY! Because the disc is behind the waitress', I asked her about the disc.

Me: "Mbak, yang itu Harvest Moon kan? Bahasa apa?"
(Mbak, that one is Harvest Moon, right? What language is it?)
Waitress: "Oh, iya. Baru masuk lho! Ini tinggal satu! Bagus banget! Bahasa
Indonesia ini, Mbak!"
(Oh yes, it just came in! This is the only one left! This is very good! It's in Indonesian
language, Mbak.)

I'm surprised knowing that this Harvest Moon is in Indonesian language. Yes, my Harvest Moon Back To Nature for PS 1 is in Indonesian too, but this one is weird because the cover is written in Japanese language. So, I bought it and when I got home the first thing that I do is turn on my ps 2 to check out my new game.

But unfortunately, it's in Japanese! Well, I bursted into laugh, it's just funny! I played the whole day without any reason. I absolutely know nothing about Japanese except the number (ichi, ni, san, yon, go, haha ...) I only learn about Japanese by book. And so, I tried to learn something from it:
  1. In Japan, X means O and vice versa
  2. Always try the game in the store, after all, why do they put the PS there? I never get angry to the waitress even though she said that the Harvest Moon is in Indonesian Language, because I don't bother checking the truth about her words by using the PS 2 in my friend's store! The last thing I want to do is being rude! We learn about karma here in Bali!
