Harvest Moon Back to Nature - Download Harvest Moon Back to Nature

I made a promise to Nurul and Fairy--the Harvest Moon fans--to post a link where you can download Harvest Moon Back to Nature for free. I thought I've put a box for that link, but I have no idea how that link could escape from The Harvest Moon Stuff without saying a word. :p

So, here it is, how to download &install. Don't forget to drop your comment! :) 

Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life - Pond Function

I browsed faqs in a website and found this interesting question: what is the function of a pond?

 

Yes, this is serious, we have to pay Takakura to build the pond and we don't even know what it is for? 

The pond is for the ducks to swim. Duck is the animal you can't buy from Takakura or even Van. You need special terms and conditions in order to get the duck, and one of them is having a pond. 

So I think that's the only function of the pond. Well, it's my opinion, but I think the pond is worth it. You will need a duck (or ducks) in your chicken coop, and it lays eggs too. :) 

Harvest Moon Back to Nature – Accident on The Bridge

The title sounds dangerous, doesn’t it? This post is about the broken bridge that you will face when you’re in the year 10. It’s a long way to go, yes, and it’s not so important at all, but I think I’ll write down some interesting things from this story. Oh, and perhaps I should put this sign:

spoiler

Where do we start ... ?

At the year 10, you will have an event where the bridge will fall down. Now, you can only have this event when you’re spending your time on the bridge. All you need to do is to walk to the bridge, stand and hold your character, don’t do anything, don’t press anything. Just wait until your character gets bored and starts to sit around and taking a nap. And then, voila, you’ll see your wife, your child, and Harris are looking very worried at you.

Few days later, Gotz will meet you and ask for your help to re-build the bridge. Of course you will be paid for your part-time job, 200 lumbers and 1000 G per day (you will work for five days). I think at this point we will say yes, right friends? ;)

Harvest Moon Back to Nature – Ellen’s Pie

Hmm ... I hope this post is good enough for the newest post in The Harvest Moon Stuff. I’m having a hard time in deciding which post is good enough to be published first, but after thinking and re-thinking, I picked this one. :D

Okay, back to Ellen’s Pie.

Ellen’s Pie is one of the cut-scenes that you will find in Harvest Moon Back to Nature. But this cut-scene is, well, special. It’s not in the “cut-scene for marriage” categories, but the gift that you will get will bounce up your future wife’s heart-level. Trust me, it works all the time. ;)

Step by step:

1.  When you’re close enough with the Mayor, one day he’ll come to your farm. He’ll ask you to get a pie from Inn that he ordered and hand it to Ellen, Elli’s grandmother.
2. Go to the Inn, you’ll see Ann is working. Oh, and you don’t need to pay anything, Mayor has paid for the pie. Just take the pie and head over to Ellen’s place.
3. Ellen lives with her grand-daughter, it’s the house next to the library. Enter the house and you’ll find her sitting on a rock-chair.
4. Hand the pie to her, she’ll thank you and she’ll try to give you a tip. Now this is the tricky one, my friends usually say ‘yes’, of course a tip sounds good, but believe me, when you say no, Ellen, Elli and the Mayor will love you more. 
5.  After you gave the pie to Ellen, Elli will come, she’s having a break from the clinic and really happy to see you giving the pie to her grandmother. She’ll give you another pie. This is the gift I wrote about, this is the special gift that you can give to the girl you love, including Elli. :D Don’t give the pie to regular villagers, give it to the one you love.
6. The next day, Mayor will pay you a visit once again, and he’ll give you a cake. You can do whatever you like with the cake, it doesn’t really help in the heart-level, so I suggest you to eat it if you want to.

There they are, the six steps you should take. And remember, never ever ever take the tip. It’ll ruin everything, remembering that this cut-scene will only happen once, I think we should be careful with our answers and options. 

~At the end, Harvest Moon always Rocks!~

I'm Back! (At Long Last ...)

I DO apologize. -___- At this point, I'm totally speechless. I don't know what to say, I don't have any good excuses for my absents in these past two months. I think there is no reason that is good enough for me to neglect The Harvest Moon Stuff, but I did! :'(

So ... Will you forgive me?


Well, perhaps you do. Because you're still reading this paragraph. :D :D :D I just want to let you know, I checked my web counter, and I'm so happy knowing that there are a lot of Harvest Moon fans out there! 

Hmm ... What else do I want to tell you ... ? ;) I have a lot of stories from August - September and I really want to share it all with you! :) 

Okay, started from My School

I'm a senior high student now! And inside that uniform--I guess--there are a lot of responsibilities and tons of tasks to do. I'm enjoying every single moment of it, although, I must say, it is exhausting. School starts from 07.00 am to 02.00 pm, then we'll have extracurricular and lots of stuff. I think words can't describe, don't they? ;)

School's Uniform ...

That's me on the left. :) 

This is my other uniform

Time with my friends ... 

My Family

We are the harvest moon family. Papa is busy with his jobs and hobbies, Mama is busy with her paintings, business, floweries, and arranging our house until it looks like a perfect country cottage. Me, well, I'm the same old me. ;)

My Father and I, Mama as the photographer ... 

My Plans


Various. :) And one of them is upgrading The Harvest Moon Stuff

So, I hope you will enjoy the next posts that I'm going to write!

Harvest Moon Back to Nature - Farm/House Upgrades

This post is a second post about farm/house upgrades in Harvest Moon Back to Nature,  the difference from the first post is, it's the complete list about farm/house upgrades!!!


I'm in love with bold writings, as you can see. ;)

1. First House Upgrade : adds a kitchen with a refrigerator. Price - 4700 G, Lumbers - 370 
2. Second House Upgrade : bigger kitchen, a living room, second bed room and a fire place. A must before you propose your girlfriend. Price - 10.000 G, Lumbers - 750 
3. Barn Extension : hold up to 20 animal. Price - 6800 G, Lumbers 500 
4. Chicken Coop Extension : hold up to 10 animal. Price - 5000 G, Lumbers - 420 
5. Greenhouse : very useful for planting your seeds in Winter, but easily broken by tornado. Price - 30.000 G, Lumbers - 580 

Cute, isn't it? Well, one thing for sure, you have to work hard on the first chapter/year one because you have to upgrade your house if you want to get a wife. Cut the lumbers and save up your money, or else, though her heart turns red for you, she will marry someone else (your rival, based on the girl you choose) at the end of year one. 

~Keep Working in Harvest Moon!~

After all, that's the fun part right? ;) 

Harvest Moon Back to Nature - Music Box

Okay. This one is actually a secret. There are only a few people that knows this special music box. I'm writing the complete step by step to have this music box! You can't invent, can't buy it, can't ask for someone to give it to you! I'm telling you, this is a rare item!

Near the dog's house and a tree in your farm, there is an old music box burried inside. Grab your hoe and dig around the place. When you've found it, talk to Rick until he offers a help to fix the broken music box for free.  

Once Rick is done, the music box is yours. You can keep it in the shelf in your up-graded house, or give it to your girlfriend or wife.

Harvest Moon Back to Nature - Festivals

I think I've wrote one post about Goddess Festival, but I haven't really write about the complete list of festivals in Harvest Moon Back to Nature.




Personally, I love festivals. Here in Bali there are some interesting tons of festivals. Harvest festival, to be exact. ;)


Okay, let's proceed. Shall we? :)


SPRING:

1. New Year Festival: it is held in Rose Square, but you can also drink beer with the guys in Inn. This festival starts from second year and so on.
2. Spring Goddess Festival: held in Rose Square. You can ask a girl to go with you. Just make sure she has the heart. :) Ask her a day before the festival. 
3. Thanksgiving Festival: when you have a kitchen, make chocolate! Give the chocolate to your girl-friend! 
4. Horse Race: You can place your bet and try to win power berry. 
5. Cooking Festival: same like thanksgiving, this festival will be more fun when you have a kitchen. Enter the contest and cook your best!

SUMMER:

1. Sea Opening: usually you'll need at least one power berry to win. Practice your fingers, read a book about winning the swimming competition in Mary's library. 
2. Chicken Festival: my favorite one. Nurture your chicken until she has 10 hearts. I guarantee she'll win and the golden egg is yours! ;)
3. Tomato Festival: throwing tomatoes at your enemy, a complete hilarious war. 
4. Cow Festival: held in Yodel Ranch. Cow's heart will influent the result of the competition. 
5. Fire Works Display: Ask your girl-friend a day before to go out with you. 

FALL:

1. Music Festival: don't be late! Go to church, the festival starts at 6 p.m.
2. Harvest Festival: held in Rose Square, starts at 10 a.m. Bring a nice item to throw into the big pot and the rest of the villagers will be happy. 
3. Moon Viewing Festival: in this festival, you'll meet the girl that has the biggest heart for you in the village.
4. Sheep Festival: held in Yodel Ranch. You can enter the competition if you have a sheep that is big enough, not pregnant and you haven't cut the hair yet. 
5. Fall Horse Race: the village is loving the horse race, am I right? 

WINTER:

1. Dog Race: held in Rose Square, 10 a.m. buy a ball from Won to teach your dog.
2. Winter Thanksgiving Festival: The girl that doesn't have a black heart for you will give you a gift. It depends on her heart level, greater level brings greater gift. 
3. Star Night Festival: the girl that at least has a purple heart for you will invite you to come to her house for a dinner party. It starts at 6 p.m. 
4. New Year: go to Mother Hill. Try to find the rare snow flower and show it to Elli's grandma before she dies. 

Nineteen festivals, four season, one Harvest Moon! 

I'm in wikiHow!

I'm writing about Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life in wikiHow, and I'm looking forward to write another Harvest Moon articles. I'm about to surf and think about what topic should I write. ;) Would love to hear some advice from you! 

Harvest Moon Save The Homeland - Flute from Louis

This flute is a magical flute, well, at least for the villagers, because it'll Save The Homeland. :) Here is how to get a flute from Louis, the guy in the drugstore.

When you choose to use the flute for an ending, it means you'll choosing the Blue-bird Ending. Befriend Louis, give him herbs and talk to him everyday. His shop is the shop near Lila's Flower Shop. He is a shy guy, so it'll take more time to make friends with him, but I'm sure it won't take more than one season/month. 

One afternoon, come to the lake to find Louis is playing his flute, there will be an event when Louis is giving the flute for you. I believe I've wrote a post about complete blue-bird ending.

Now, it's about using the flute to teach your dog. Teaching him what? Teaching him some tricks just for fun--and the most important thing is, teaching him to put the cows back in the farm. Remember, you need to be discipline so that your dog will be able to do his job. 

Select the flute in your inventory, hit X to use it, and select to view this options: 

Sit                         : UP, LEFT, DOWN

Down                   : UP, DOWN, DOWN

Heel                     : LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT

Drive animals  : RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT
 

Jump                   : LEFT, UP, RIGHT

Sit up                   : DOWN, UP, UP 

Also, you can use this to herd your cows, using the 'Drive Animals',  all of the cows will go straight to the barn. But you need at least 4 hearts from each cow to do this :)
