Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon

Strange thing is that I do talk to Yue every day before I leave the house to do my chores and come back inside. I did that on Winter 14th but no baby -_-; I think my game is glitched or something...

Uhhh....
Mabye it's actually 20 days?
I almost completely ignored my wife for the first week or two...

On my other file I tried experimenting with Rosaline and here's my routine:
Proposed: Fall 20
Married: Fall 21
New Life Together: Fall 22
News: Winter 1
Baby: ???
I talked to her every day and exit my house too for the baby, but a month passed and I haven't given her a gift after marriage...

To do that in real life is frowned upon by many.

Ooh, I have a question. Where do you find a hammer piece and a broken hilt?

If you use the Inquisitve Waltz, you should be able to find the Broken Hilt here:

Quote:

Pandova Mountains
Crossroads (rightmost Spawn): Broken Hilt, White Crystal
Icy Path (at RP Flowers): White Crystal, Broken Hilt
Narrow Path (right spawn point): Broken Hilt, Emerald

Not too sure about where to find the hammer piece though, sorry.

Seeing as it isn't in the monster drop list for any of the first four dungeons...

It's definitely dropped by some monster in Palermo Shrine^^ I know that was super-helpful... XD

Anything there that has a hammer of some kind? =/ I haven't really been in there much. @_@ *lazy*

I don't think any of them would drop a hammer o-o

But I could be wrong.

I FOUND IT:
Hammer Piece: Dropped by Minotaurs in Palermo Shrine.

Lucky you Lacy, lucky you.

Heres my Boss Guide, hope it helps ;]

Just beaten the Winter Boss, and looking at all the guides online, I find it very weird how people suggest getting the character above level 30 O_o I find no need for that...

Terror Tree (spring boss)
I think i was level 10 when I defeated this... people suggested level 12-14?
I basically circled around the boss mainly to get a feeling of how it attacks first (do this for all monsters)
At this point in the game, I only had a level 10 shortsword and level 10 small shield (just keep forging it to upgrade)
I dont really remember this root attack, but I think it starts at where you're standing, but if you constantly move around, its pretty easy to avoid.
Its melee attack, swing happens when your up close, its easy to avoid by stepping back, unless your at the middle of a combo attack.
The falling Apples is ridiculously easy to avoid, just step between where it falls to avoid it.
The circle of apples surrounding the tree is sort of a defence i guess, he throws them at you one after the other, easy to avoid only if you keep moving as it targets where you stood before.
I believe it cures itself, but you can do more damage than he cures right? ;]
Finally in 'rage mode' it contantly charge at you, I recommend moving sideways to the attack and hitting it if possible. I think i switched to hammer weapon, and charged it up, sidestepped and swung for lots of damage. I found this part harder to avoid whilst still trying to hit him...
Gained 2 levels after

Octopirate (Summer boss)
Level 14 this time, people recommend 18+ i believe not too sure, anyway, sill with those basic weapons at level 10 (because you dont need extra materials).
This was harder for me, I died the first time testing its attacks again beforehand.
What I hate about fighting him is it has this sort of shell which blocks atacks (0 damage) from behind so you cant avoid its charge and swing at him.
Spike balls are easy to avoid, keep moving, but I find it keeps doing this attack if im too far away.
Otherwise, it charges at me, which is easy to avoid as its really slow (more like a craw) but careful not to get caught up in there, does lots of small damage which adds up.
It has 2 melee attacks, both easy to avoid due to the reletivly long animation time, just move away when you see it swing its tenticle/spear back.
Its most annoying attack is probably the barrel throw, it throws at you, pretty easy to avoid, but sometimes i get caught in the blast >_> I find this annoying mainly as I cant counter attack as im avoiding. and for me, it spammed this attack halfway through of the fight.
when its in rage, it also is faster with the charge, and throws black smoke which is pretty easy to avoid with its long animation cast.
My tactic here was to use the sword dash everytime it finishes an attack (avoiding the attack previously) and then run straight after (to avoid next attack). Repeat. I had to use food here, one potion, probably as I am low level, not sure, but I needed it mainly for my RP consumption.
gained a level or 2 after

Bane Dragon (fall boss)
Actually it looked more like a lizard to me ^^ Anyway, was level 17, i believe people recommend 24+ i can see why when I was battleing it O_o
I used a lance/spear here, mainly for the extra distance away from the boss, shortsword is just too close, and you do NOT want that...
Basically, it keeps moving down/up depending where you are (you cant get past him) a few steps at a time (after a while you can just TELL when he is going to stop) which can hurt you for quite a bit if you are not running away from him (you can just out pace him i believe). anyway, straight after those walk/charge attack just hit him (I hit twice with lance) and keep running. I spam magic (I love drain HP), probably safer as you have more time for magic as its range, careful you move youreself to see the magic reach the boss so it actually damages it. And when your low on health, run ALL the way down to the otherside (or with enough distance) to eat food, used aLOT of RP here so keep those food in handy, more so as you have more time to heal up here.
Also the boss doesnt hit you at the end of the bridge, instead it dissapears and reapears next to you, spewing balls of uhh magic sealing stuff... Nasty stuff, run away when he dissapears, dont try to hit him. After that, he jumps up ont the end of the bridge and chases you down again (that walk damage thing)
In rage mode, its faster, but if you timed everything correctly, you can still hit him twice with lance and run away again without taking any damage. Now it kind of jumps up occationally, at the spot to slam again, if you ran away after your attack , you should avoid this. Repeat till dead. Toughest part was when I got hit by the magic binding attack, so I cant use drain life >_>
gained 2 levels after

Crystal Mammoth (winter boss)
This boss is hilarious to fight with imo, mainly because this was the easiest boss imo. I was level 20, people recommend 30+, I have absolutely no idea why you need to be so high level... I used level 10 rod, Sonic Wind level 3, Drain HP Level 3, and 9 chocolate cookies (for RP), with lots of hp spare.
Basically it just charges at you, long delays, easy to avoid, if you get it to hit a wall, it lies defenseless for a few seconds (quite long imo). Not many walls for it to crash into, only once for me, and i used the time to eat rather than hit it =p. anyway, second attack 'most feared' by people is that spicky charge, just run away from it when it kinda does its animation. ice shoots up from him in a medium sized area, for me, I highly recommend sonic wind for this, as it is the perfect range just outside his attack zone to use that magic and hit him 6 times with the wind for 30ish damage (average 4 hits, for me). Spam, evade, eat, repeat. I dont really see any new attacks when in rage mode, I dont think it used its charged spike attack for me, its just faster when chargeing...
gained 2 levels after ^^

Thats it for now

Oh I have a question, They say that opposite elements do more damage? I find that when attacking a water monster with fire spell, it only does 1 damage??? O_o This happens to all other monsters when when I use the opposite spell, It always does 1 damage... Is something wrong? other spells do decent damage (40+ with Life drain)

Thank you for the contribution, nobodyhat!

-huggles-

Here's what everything in palermo drops:

Dragon: Rage fang
Treasure Chest: Broken box
Minatour: Hammer peice
Devil (grey): Devil horn
Devil (red): Devil blood
Golem: Bronze
Everything else is already in a different place. (Faries, Necros, etc.)

Hope this helps

That's a first because I'm never lucky, but this time, I rubbed the magic lamp nice and hard. XD

That was very nice of you nobodynat, thank~you. It seems like a lot of imformation, but I'm sure that many will put a good use to it in one way or another.
