Aug, 20th: Started the Guide To Marriage! Made the Table of Contents,
and started the Revision History.
Aug, 21st: Did the ASCII art for the Guide To Marriage.
Aug, 22nd: Did the Story, Why Marry?, and Who Should You Choose sections
of the FAQ. Also did everything up to section 9, the Cut-Scenes. Also
started doing the Festivals For Spring.
Sep, 3rd: I've been waiting for a while waiting to see if cJayc would
post my topic. I'm not sure that its ever going to see life in Gamefaqs
so I've excepted someone else's request to post my faq on their site.
I'll be still waiting, and improving this FAQ until it lives in
Gamefaqs. Until then I've got some more work to do.
Sep, 8th: School just started again, so I haven't had a lot of time to
update. I've updated the events section and I might be thinking of
adding events for the rivals. Anyway, I'm still waiting.
Sep, 22nd: I spell-checked and used the grammar check on this guide.
That's about it for now!
Sep, 23rd: I finally found out what was wrong with the ASCII Art at the
top of this guide. By mistake, the first two lines, which were screwed
up, were written in another font and another size! I'll send it in
soon!
Oct, 10th: Hello! Just dropping by with a new urdate! Added the "Other
Fun Stuff to Do" section with other fun things you can do with the
girls before and after you are married!
Oct, 11th: Yay! Finished the first section of "Other Fun Stuff to Do!"
I guess I'll be going now!
Mar, 13th, 2002: Wow! It's been a long time, hasn't it? I checked my
Mail-Box and added 3 more cut-scenes to the Guide, Be sure to look for
them in the MARY & GRAY , ANN & CLIFF, and KAREN & RICK Sections.

One morning, you decided to walk up the Mother's Hill, which was
located behind the farm. You went mid way up, when you decided to lay
down near the flowers growing, and enjoy the nature. You slowly fall
asleep. "Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na." You are awaken by some
sort of music.
You look up. Oh, its just one of the village girls. She asks you a
question. "Do you always play alone?" she continues, "I like it here,
too. So I come here a lot to play alone" You become friends almost
instantly. You spend the rest of the day up at the top of Mother's
Hill, telling her stories about the city, and your adventures.
A few weeks later, sadly, your parents come to pick you up from the
farm. A long time ago, you longed for this day to come; now you dread
it. You don't want to leave the farm, the villagers, or the animals. As
you are leaving you are stopped by the girl from the hill. She makes
you promise that you will come back some day. You leave.
And now a decade has passed, your grandfather has died and you want
to become the rightful owner of the farm. The Mayor says you have 3
years to replenish the farm, and you don't want to break your promise,
searching for that girl of your dreams.

Some of you may ask, Why Marry!? I want to be single! Well, to those
of you who ask that question, this section is totally for you! I'll
tell you all the benefits here.
1. You Promised! Well, you didn't promise that you would marry her,
but you get the picture. One thing will lead to another, and soon
you'll be married. Besides she misses you and wants to spend the
rest of her life with that little boy she once knew.
2. When you get to the farm, the mayor tells you that you have 3
years to restore the farm to a land of plenty. And in order to
stay you need a high enough percentage. To find out what your
percentage is press the start button. Right at the top you see the
name of your farm and next to it is your percentage. Percentage is
based on many things, so I list a few here:
- You get 1% for each animal you have excluding your dog,
horse, and fish.
- And, Yup, You've guessed it! 1% For each heart your wife
has.
3. Chasing the girl of your dreams is fun! It also allows you to get
to know the girl better, and gives you more of those beloved cut-
scenes!

In the village, there are presently 5 girls available for you. But,
who should you choose? This section will discuss the personality,
looks, and skills of each of the girls.
It all depends on your tastes. After you marry one of the girls,
instead of helping on the farm, they stay at home and do, well..,
ummm, errrr.., NOTHING!
I know, not that great, it's one of those things I want Natsume and
Victor Interactive to change in their future Harvest Moon games. But,
they still did a great job.
Now that you know what great things the girls do after marriage
(cough, cough), you can just pick one of them, and live happily ever
after, well, not really.
Mary is a librarian. And for those of you who prefer looks over
brains, than skip Mary and check the others. But, for those of you
who like girls with personality, you can't lose with Mary!
Being Kind and Generous Mary likes to help others and does it in a
polite manner. She has black hair, wears glasses, has a white shirt,
with a blue dress over it. She is almost always found in the library,
assisting those who come and read her father's books. Her birthday is
on the 20th of Winter, or on the 25th of Winter if your birthday is on
the 20th.

brown, she wears a bow tie near her neck, and wears a blue dress. She
is very helpful to people, always asking what's wrong and aiding
people in the clinic. Her birthday is on the 16th of Spring, or on the
20th of Spring, if your Birthday is on the 16th.

Ann is a tomboy. Her mother passed away, and she now helps her
father at the Inn. Although her father wants her to marry, she is
opposed, and wants to stay single. Don't worry though, she'll marry
you if she loves you.
Ann has orange hair that's tied in a bow tie, and she wears blue
overalls. She is very nice and cheerful, helping people when they are
blue. Ann loves animals, and especially cooking. She almost always
wins the cooking festival, if not her father will win. Ann also

standing at the goddess spring enjoying the cool mountain air.

Karen is very mature when compared to the other girls. She doesn't
like anything her parents like and usually gets into arguments with
them. She is also afraid that her father's shop is not well equipped.
She likes to hang out at the beach with Rick, Kai, and Popuri during
the summer.
Karen has brown hair with blonde highlights at the bangs. She wears
a vest, with shorts, and a belt. Although saying "Who are You, I'm
afraid I don't Know You" when you meet her, she gets nicer as you
change her heart rating (See Section 7. The Love Meter) saying things
like "If you ever need someone to talk to, you can talk to me". Karen
is an alcoholic, she loves wine and drinks it regularly.

Popuri has pink hair just like her mother, wears a red dress, and
has a headband. She becomes nicer and nicer the more you get to know
her, and loves almost everything excluding ores and such. Popuri is
also the easiest girl to marry, because every time you talk to her,
her heart rating goes up (See Section 7. The Love Meter) and all the
things she loves are picked from Mother Nature.

Now that you know which girl you want to marry, you've got to know
where they are located. Here are the schedules for every girl.
(NOTE: On festival days the girls and everyone else cannot be found
anywhere, so don't waste your time looking for someone. You'll find
everyone at the festival.

11:00am - 10:00pm: At The Inn (Either Upstairs or Downstairs)

Inn practically all the time.)

Now that you know where all the girls are located, in order to raise
their hearts (See Section 7. The Love Meter) You have to give them
gifts! Not just any gifts, but things they Love! Here is a pretty
complete list of Likes & Dislikes of each girl. Some of these things
are picked from Mother Nature, yet others require a Kitchen and
utensils to make. Give the Girl you are trying to Marry, mostly gifts
from the "love" section but things from the "like" section are okay
too. Don't forget their birthdays! Try to give them jewelry if you can
on their special day for best effects, but, if you didn't save some
ores from winter, give the girl something she loves.

Ok, so you've given many gifts to the girl of your dreams. But how
can you tell if they like you or not? The answer is the "Love Meter!"
This little system determines at what stage your relationship is with
that girl. But where is the Love Meter located?
To see the love meter of a desired girl you must first talk to her.
At the end of the sentence that she says should be a colored heart. It
might be black, or blue, or orange. What do these colors mean? Here's a
diagram of all the colors and what they mean.
~Legend~
BLACK (\/): NEUTRAL. If the girl has a black heart this means that she
\/ is neutral. You have just met, in other terms.
She does not know you enough, so you must give
her about 25* gifts that she likes/loves to
change it.
PURPLE (\/): FRIENDS. If the girl has a purple heart this means that
\/ you have given her a set amount of gifts and she
is now a friend. Give her about 30-40* gifts
that she likes/loves and it will go up.
BLUE (\/): CLOSE FRIENDS. If the girl has a blue heart this means that
\/ you are very close to her, you are like a
best friend. Give her about 40-50* gifts
that she likes/loves and it will go up.
GREEN (\/): SHE NOTICES YOU. If the girl has a green heart this means
\/ that not only are you like a best friend
to her, she starts noticing you. Give her
about 50-60* gifts to bring the heart up
to the next level.
YELLOW (\/): SHE STARTS FLIRTING. If a girl has a yellow heart this
\/ means that she's trying to tell you
something like "I Like You" but in a
concealing way. Give her about 60-
70* more gifts to change the heart
to the second last level.
ORANGE (\/): YOUR DATING! You two are finally dating, after the long
\/ awaited time. (Well your not actually going
on dates in the game, but you get the idea)
Give her anywhere from 70-100* gifts that
she likes/loves to change her heart to the
LAST LEVEL!
RED (\/): SHE'S IN LOVE! The girl is madly in love with you! She
\/ also wants to spend the rest of her life
with you, and awaits your question "Will
you Marry Me?"
*(These Numbers are approximate and may be greatly reduced if you have
answered one of the girl's answers correctly.)

Now you know everything about the girls, their schedules, what they
like, so you're just going to give them gifts and marry them with no
problem at all. Right? WRONG!
Did I tell you that for every girl there is a rival who is also
trying to get her? So you better work fast or else the girl of your
dreams will be married to someone else.
=======================================================================
8.1 G R A Y
=======================================================================
Because he visits the library often, his eye catches Mary, and so he
will be your rival if you are trying to get the affection of Mary. If
you're going for Mary, then make sure you do not become a good friend
of Gray, as this will speed up Gray's relationship with Mary.
=======================================================================
8.2 T H E D O C T O R
=======================================================================
The doctor was originally from the city, but came to live and work in
the village as the doctor. He lives in the upstairs room of the clinic,
in the room next to Elli's. Since they both work, and practically live
together it is not surprise that The Doctor's eye is set on Elli.
There's not much anything you can say about him, but that the only
thing he likes is Blue and Green Grass, due to their medicinal value.
But if you're going for Elli don't become good friends with him until
after your marriage with Elli.
Occupation: Doctor
Personality: Professional, Strict, and Helpful
Bad Traits: Also Anti-Social like Gray but to a lesser extent.
Trying to Get: Elli
=======================================================================
8.3 C L I F F
=======================================================================
Cliff is desperately looking for work or else he'll have to leave the
village in year 2. He lives in the Inn, and usually goes to church to
have his sins forgotten, not that he does many bad things, but because
he is searching for guidance and a new way of life.
Cliff likes things that normal people would like, honey for instance.
You shouldn't give him too many gifts as this will speed up the course
of marriage with him and Ann. If you decide to marry Ann you've got 2
choices about Cliff, either tell him about a job that you receive in
year 2 and have him stay, or if you want to be evil, don't tell him
about it and watch him leave the village.
=======================================================================
8.4 R I C K
=======================================================================
Rick is almost always found at the Poultry farm, sitting on the coach
near the fireplace, or at the bar at night, enjoy some wine, which
makes him a great couple with Karen.
=======================================================================
8.5 K A I
=======================================================================
Kai only visits the village in Summer, during the other seasons he
lives in the city. He is extremely athletic, almost always winning
Opening Day unless you beat him. He is carefree and has a shop only
open in Summer called "The Seaside Lodge" where he sells various food
items.
Being strong and Athletic, Popuri has recently fallen in love with
Kai and will leave with him during the 3rd to 4th year, if you don't tell
Rick about it. If you do she'll stay. So if you want Popuri, Kai is
generally a small threat, he only comes in the Summer, and by then
Popuri's heart rating will probably be blue or green if you're deciding
on marrying her.

Cut-Scenes are events that happen once you trigger something. For
instance one example of a Cut-Scene would be when you first walk to the
Yodel Ranch and get the scene about the horse. Other cut-scenes
including various questions asked by villagers accompanied by various
answers to be chosen, chose of one them and your relationship will
change with that person, be it either better or for worse. But all the
cut-scenes located here are only those related to the girls or your
rivals or you with the girls. They will be divided into different
sections, each one corresponding with the girl of that section.
~LEGEND~
What Happens: This tells you what happens during that scene.

will give you a bandage, keep it. Now exit the clinic
and head left to Elli's house, If you're going in the

He'll thank you, and Elli will come to see what's wrong.
You'll have 2 choices after she asks you why you didn't
Use the band-aid, "I was okay" or "Because I got it from

Ok, you've probably already got the girl's heart to red, but how do
you marry her? This section will give you all the requirements for
marriage.
When you talk to him he should say "What's Up" and a menu should pop
up saying Buy Lumber, and probably this: "Chicken House Upgrade" You
need lumber and money to get it and it will take three 3 days to build.
After you get the enlarged Hen House, talk to him again and you should
get the "1st House Extension" this will require lumber and money, will
add a kitchen to your house and will take 3 days to build.
After that's done talk to him again and get the "Barn Upgrade" which
requires more lumber and more money. This will take 3 days to build and
will give you space for 10 cows and 10 sheep.
Finally! Talk to Gotz again and he will give you the "2nd House
Extension" which requires lumber and money to build in three days. This
will give another room, the bedroom, complete with a fireplace, and 2
separate beds. That's the first requirement for marriage.
Now that you have those 3 requirements, you need to propose! This is
what you do. Equip yourself with the triangle button, just like the
tools. Stand in front of the girl and press triangle, to give the Blue
Feather to her. If she accepts she should say something, and to check
for yourself, press triangle, and if the feather is gone she has
accepted!

Your wedding day has passed and now you're living together. You're
thinking about having a baby. But how do you get one?
I know what you're thinking and no, that's not how you get a baby.
This is a family game, and do you think they would seriously add that?
No. This section will discuss how you can get your wife pregnant,
Harvest Moon style.
To get your wife pregnant you need to give her gifts everyday and you
should get hints from her when she becomes pregnant. Examples include:
These are clues that your wife is pregnant. Once she is though she will
have a baby in about 2 seasons. When she starts getting nauseous
though, you should go to the clinic and they will announce that your
wife is pregnant. That's about it! It's fairly easy to get your wife
pregnant.

After 2 season since pregnancy first began your wife will give birth.
You will be standing in the main room probably wife the mother of your
wife waiting for the baby. After some time you will be able to see your
wife and your new baby. You will be prompted to name him with your
wife. Just to tell you, all the babies will only be boys, so you can't
get a baby girl. For a season or two, your baby will be a newborn and
will stay only in the mother's arms. But after he will be able to crawl
and you'll be able to hold him (I think) There's not much that I know
about the baby yet, cause I just recently had mine.
~Schedule~
LOVES: Hot Milk, Strawberry Milk, Honey, Wild Grapes, Ice Cream,
Cheesecake, Noodles, Cake.
DISLIKES: Ores, Wine, Lumber, Green Grass, Blue Grass, Chicken Feed,
Fodder, Garbage, Oil.

This is a new section designed to show you some stuff that you can do
when you're bored with your relationship with your girl. If you have
any suggestions for things that should go here, feel free to drop me a
call at my e-mail, listed at the top of this document.
This is a very funny one. You'll know when you've tried it!
First of all, do you notice a very oval shape at the base of the
waterfall near the hot-spring, in front of the mine? This is a secret.
Here's what you do! Take one or more crops. (This includes wool, eggs,
vegetables, fruits) Now go to the area right behind the hot-spring
facing that oval shape. Take one of your crops and throw it into that
oval shape!
If done correctly, the Spring Goddess will appear and thank you for
your offering. If she didn't show up, try throwing in a different spot!
Keep offering your crops to her and many things will happen.
After you give the Goddess 5 crops, she will give you a powerberry.
After 10 she will ask you a question. The question will be: "Do you
have a sweetheart?" Answer "Yes" to her and soon you'll be in for a
surprise!
What happens is that the girl that likes you the most will come and
take a bath in the hopt-spring. Get in with her!! The next moments are
totally hilarious! But, I can't tell them, see for yourself!
This cut-scene will greatly improve the relationship with that girl! If
done before the Goddess Festival in the first year, it will be a
guaranteed success that she goes with you when asked.

Looking at the Harvest Moon: Back To Nature Message Board you see a lot
of different questions regarding marriage and other aspects that have
to do with it. I have compiled some questions together and have
answered them. If anybody has a question that's not answered in this
section then write me an e-mail (Top of File) with the Heading: HM
Question (FAQ). It's that easy. Now onto the questions!!!
Q: I Gave The Blue Feather to One Of The Girls But She Didn't Accept.
What Am I Doing Wrong?
A: Unfortunately, No. You have to pick one girl and marry her. Or if
You don't want to pick one, don't pick any at all and flirt with all
of them, when they're married.
Q: I Heard That If You Don't Marry Anybody Aja Will Come Back In Year
17 and Marry You, If You're Already Married She Will Marry Harris.
A: No One Knows For Sure Whether This Is True, But Most Presumably It
Is A Rumor, And is False.
A: You must have the PAL version of Harvest Moon. The Game always
Freezes After You Marry Someone. Either Go Back To The Store and
Demand A Refund, or Send Your Game to this Address, which I don't
Know. You can ask somebody for it on the Harvest Moon Message Board
if you'd like.
