Bonus characters
Have the Game Boy Advance game Harvest Moon: Friends Of Mineral Town or Harvest Moon: More Friends
Of Mineral Town in the cartridge slot for characters from the corresponding game to appear in Harvest
Moon DS.
Battle mini-game
If you inspect your dog's house at 4:44 a.m., the Witch Princess will appear and teleport you to the mine
site. A battle mini-game adjacent to some of the girls you can marry will begin. Win the mini-game and the
Witch Princess will give you a diploma and the title of "Battle Master".
Memory mini-game
When you wake up at 6 a.m., go outside your house and immediately re-enter to have the clock at 6:01 a.m. Look
at the set of records on the shelf to begin a memory mini-game.
Infinite life in Mines
While in the Mines, if you fall in the hole and it drops you a large amount (100 or more), drink a Bodigizer
just before you die (by switching the Bodigizer to the slot very quickly). Note: If you put the
Bodigizer in the slot next to the green slot, it helps for quick access.
Easy money
Once you get the Legendary Sword from the bottom of the second mine and unlock the Super Field behind the
waterfall, go there in the Fall and plant Yams. Because the Waterfall Field speeds up growth by one day and
the Yams regrow every two days, there will be a new harvest every day after the initial harvest.
If you are lucky enough to get the Miracle Gloves from the Harvest Sprite casino, have them equipped when you
are going through the mines. Whenever you excavate anything you do not need, such as rubble, toss it
immediately so that it is shipped. This is a good method to save the Harvest Sprites unlocked by number of
items shipped.
When you get three Fishing Sprites, make them fish at the beach. You will get a large amount of money each
day.
Dig at the mines and try to get jewelry. Then on day 3 and 8 when Van is selling his items at his store, sell
them to him. Try getting the prices up to 3,000 Gold or more.
Easy fish
When you get a basement, fish in the water hole. You can get fish and it does not waste time.
Easy milk and wool
Brush any animal, except for a dog, chicken, cat, or duck, with the Touch Gloves, and then tap "Back" and
quickly switch the brush with the milker or wool cutter. You will get milk or wool. This works better if you
upgrade your milker to level 99.
Easy upgrades
Buy lots of Bodigizers or XL and Turbojolt or XL. Then, go in the house and
milk/shear/hammer/axe/sickle/fish/hoe/water the air (press Y) until you almost passed out. Then, drink the
Bodigizer or Turbojolt and use your tool again. Repeat this process until it is upgraded. This saves a lot of
time.
Easy watering can upgrade
When trying to upgrade your watering can, fill it with water a lot of times and pour the water on anything.
You can watch the meter go up by at least 10 every time. Also, Bodigizers and Turbo Jolts may be needed.
Milker level goes up faster
After your milker reaches level 1, every time you use it afterwards it goes up another level. This is useful
for getting level 99 for your milker, which means every time you milk a cow you will get 99 bottles of milk.
Brushing increases milk and wool levels
Brush your horse and switch your brush to the milker while the brush is still moving. You will get a level 2
milk. If you equip your shears while the brush is still moving you will get a level 2 wool.
Cheap items to sell and unlock Harvest Sprites
This trick requires some patience and a good amount of money. Having the Miracle Gloves also is recommended.
Call up either of the livestock farms and buy as much fodder/feed as you can afford, usually in amounts of 99
each. Sell all of them, which is easy with the Miracle Gloves equipped. The Sprites require the following
numbers to be unlocked. Note: All the sprites unlocked are part of the harvest team.
Paddy: About 500 items sold.
Fraw: About 1000 items sold.
Ridge: About 5000 items sold.
Ali: About 10,000 items sold.
Cady: About 30,000 items sold.
Can Food Maker
After you get the Maker Shed, try to buy the Can Food Maker as fast as you can. Putting shipable items in it
increases your profit by 25%. This really helps with high level crops. If you put a level 100 pineapple in it
you will get an extra 2,500,000 G.
TV Shopping channel
Buy items from Karen at the Supermarket for ten days in a row to unlock Channel 2, the TV Shopping Network.
Changing weather
To change the next day's weather, reload the previous day and go to bed. This works best if you save before
you go to bed and check the weather the first thing in the morning so you do not loose any work. It may also
require a few attempts. You can also avoid a collapsing building or animal death by doing this.
Saving time
While in a building, equip a tool from your rucksack. Then, access your map via the touchscreen. For example,
if you have your watering can while using the map, touch one of your crops with the stylus to water that
specific crop. This is a great way to take care of crops, gathering building materials, etc. while not wasting
any game time.
Diamonds
Once you have opened up the second mine, spend some time in it to mine as many diamonds or pink diamonds as
possible. Instead of selling them, give them to the girl of your choice. Almost every eligible girl loves
receiving diamonds, which gives two thirds more affection points than just flowers or other basic gifts.
Love Bangle
If you want to know how much a girl loves you, buy the Love Bangle from the Harvest Sprite Casino. It costs
5,000 Medals but is worth it, especially when trying to marry Muffy.
Pets
To get as high a friendship as you want with anyone in town, repeatedly try to give them your pet. If you have
the Love Bangle equipped (not necessary for the effect), you will see that every time you talk to a person with
a pet in your arms their friendship score will increase one point. If you do this inside and have a lot of
patience, you can get someone to as high a score as desired within one day. This method is also useful for
unlocking the Channel 7 Harvest Sprite, who will appear the day after you earn at least 100 friendship points
with someone. If you do not have the Love Bangle equipped, then just show your pet to someone 100 times.
Speed petting
Before you begin petting your cows, sheep, or horses, tap the Harvest Sprite Station. You can speed by the
animals and give them hearts. This is very useful if you have lots of animals.
Watering Can
To increase the rate at which your Watering Can powers-up, repeatedly fill it up at any water source, such as
the pond or your farm. Once you have filled it up a desired amount of times, use it once and your experience
for it will increase significantly. Even when it is near Mystrile level, each time you fill it will count as
one value better then the three to four uses per value it took before. This is easiest if you have a basement,
because you can use the watering hole in it to avoid passing time during the day.
Eligible girls
The girls that you can marry are: The Harvest Goddess, Flora, Keria, Leia, The Witch Princess, Muffy, Nami,
Lumina, Celia, Ann, Popuri, Elli, Karen, and Mary.
Marrying Leia
The first step in marrying Leia is to befriend Daryl. An easy way to do this is to go to Daryl's lab (located
near the beach) with your dog, and keep trying to give him your dog. Every time you do this his friendship
goes up by 1. Keep doing this until his friendship reaches 101. Select the basement door and you will unlock
Leia and her Grey Heart event. Leia loves Sashimi and Large Fish, which gives you 800 affection. She favors
other fish (they earn 300 affection). She also really likes jewelry (giving her 500 affection). In order to do
Leia's Yellow Heart event you must fish out a bottle in the ocean at spring. Part of her Yellow Heart event is
her returning to the ocean. This means you will no longer be able to see her in Daryl's lab. Instead, you can
find her along the sea shore at midnight on Wednesdays. In order to marry Leia you must have the double bed,
have found 60 Harvest Sprites, and bought back the Harvest Goddess. You also need a pond for Leia to stay in.
The Harvest Witch
Her birthday is on Winter 29. She lives in the small hut near the mansion. She likes Red Grass and Poisonous
Mushrooms, and loves Rainbow Curry.
