INTRODUCTION
Nintendo RPG that focused on an unusual subject. A game
based on farm life sounded strange at first, but it didn’t
take long for the idea to take hold, and
Harvest Moon
quickly
became a success.
Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
is the latest installment
in the series. Again, a small boy returns to his grandfather’s farm to restore it to its for-
mer glory, but Natsume has loaded this new version with enough surprises and twists to
keep any player riveted.
In the
Harvest Moon
series, even simple farm life can get complicated. Fortunately,
your life on the farm is about to get a lot easier. This guide will help you get through the
seasons with timesaving tips and important information to ensure your success.
“Game Basics” provides all the information you need to get the hang of day-to-day
farm life.
Read all about the town and your neighbors in “Mineral Village and Its Characters.” In
Harvest Moon
, nurturing relationships is as important as nurturing crops and livestock.
Did you dig up an item you don’t recognize? Look it up in “Items.” You’ll find infor-
mation on everything you can find or buy.
In “Tools of the Trade,” you’ll learn about all of the tools in the game, and
how to get the most out of them.
Should you plant Cucumbers or Turnips? How long will it take
for each to mature? Is this a one-time harvest or can you harvest
this crop multiple times? You’ll find the answers to these and more
crop questions in “Crops.”
And whether you choose to raise Cows or Sheep or both,
“Livestock” tells you how.
The “Seasonal Walkthrough” guides you down the path to success.
You’ll learn about the special occasions, including birthdays, that take
place each season.
“The House,” “The Recipes,” and “The Special Events” contain infor-
mation on upgrading your house, cooking the fruits of your labor, and
village events.
In the chapters that follow, you’ll also learn super game secrets,
such as how to get all of the Power Berries and Fish Prints. So don
your overalls, grab your Hoe, and get set to do some serious
farming!
