\ \ | | / / \ \| Return of the Goddess |/ / \ | | / \| __________________________|/ _______________________| | | ________________________| | / |/The Rainbows (which are created to reawaken the goddess) are the key | plotline in this game. Many factors are tied into when you successfully | progress in this plotline, most notably villagers moving to the village | and new areas becoming accessible. | | The overall structure of this area of the game is relatively simple. There | are 5 "rainbows" that must be created in order to reawaken the Harvest | Goddess. The 5 rainbows must be created in order, and in order to create | one, you must complete a recipe involving 5 ingredients (note: do NOT try | to cook with the five ingredients; they simply have to be in your rucksack | when you attempt to create the rainbow). | | When you have the five ingredients for a given rainbow, simply approach the | tree and water it while those five ingredients are in your rucksack. | | It is advisable that you complete these as soon as possible, given that | there are time restrictions on them. Certain items are only available in | certain seasons, and villagers will sometimes move in the 1st day of the | month following the completion of a rainbow. For example, one ingredient | for the first rainbow - an Apple - can only be obtained in Spring or Fall. | Therefore, if you don't buy one in Spring, you'll have to wait until Fall, | in which case those villagers won't move in until Winter 1. | |\ | \_____________________________________________________________________[QUI]_ | | | The Quilt | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/Before you can begin creating rainbows, you must complete the Quilt event. | | Essentially, a legendary quilt has been in the Mayor's family for | generations, but half of it has gone missing. The quilt explains what to | do when the harvest goddess disappears. In order to begin creating | rainbows, you must find the other half of the quilt. | | The first two parts of this event happen automatically: early in the game, | the Mayor will come by and tell you about the quilt; a few days later, he | will come give you the left half. He mentions that Gill says the Harvest | Sprites took it - but remember, not everyone can see the Harvest Sprites. | | The third part of the event is up to you. Gill will not tell you about the | other half of the quilt until you've upgraded your house, which costs | 3000G, 16 pieces of wood lumber and 16 pieces of stone lumber. Once your | house is upgraded, talk to Gill again, then talk to the Mayor while he's in | his house. He will give you a key to the clock tower, where the other half | of the quilt is hidden. To open the clock tower, approach it with the key | in your hands and press A. | | Optionally, you can also talk to Gill before upgrading your house, and to | Dale after talking to Gill (after upgrading your house) to get more general | information about the clock tower and quilt. That's the way you'd be doing | it if you weren't here to read about it. | |\ | \_____________________________________________________________________[RAI]_ | | | The 5 Rainbows | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/Once you have the quilt, you can begin to unlock the rainbows. The | rainbows must be created in the following order. To create a rainbow, take | the 5 ingredients to the tree, water the flower under it and watch. For | items in this section with the instructions "make it yourself", see the | recipes section for more information. Optionally, you can also talk to the | sprites (by watering their tree) before you have the ingredients and | they'll give you the ingredient list themselves. | | In general, it's best to try to be gathering ingredients throughout the | game and set them aside when you obtain them. Many of the ingredients are | only available in certain seasons, so you won't be able to wake up one day | and decide to grab the items for the next rainbow real quick. | | For this purpose, there is a reference list of all the goddess tree items | in the References section (search for [ GIT ] without the spaces). | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Green | | Sprite Name: Dana | Location: The Tree in Town Square | | Ingredients (And Where to Obtain): | Shining Spiced Fish Bake (make it yourself; for 'Shining', use at least | four fish and one herb) | Baked Sweet Potato (grow and bake; or, purchase from Maya at the | Spring market) | Apple (plant an apple tree; or, buy from Simon at the Spring/Fall | market) | Shell (find at the beach) | Koi (a type of fish) (catch in the river; note: name might be changed in | English version) | | Other Information: Unlocking this rainbow causes several villagers to move | to the island, and allows Toucan Island to be accessed. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Blue | | Sprite Name: Ben | Location: The Tree at the Lake | | Ingredients: | Baked Eggplant (make it yourself) | Omelette (make it; or, buy it from Simon at the Spring/Summer market) | Green Herb (find in the forest, or, grow it yourself) | Iwana (a type of fish) (catch in waterfall area; note: name might be | changed in English version) | Shining Tomato (grow it; or, buy at the fall Harvest Festival) | | Other Information: You can't climb this rainbow until you complete the next | rainbow. After completing the next rainbow, talk to the | blue sprite again, then return to the yellow rainbow. | You'll find the badge he's missing near the river. | Return the badge to the blue sprite to be able to climb | the rainbow to the mountain. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Yellow | | Sprite Name: Collin | Location: The Tree on the Island (reached by creating the Green rainbow) | | Ingredients: | Blue Orb (dug up in small mine; do NOT have appraised) | Shining Spinach (buy in the fall; or, grow yourself) | Pike (fish from ocean during Fall/Winter) | Red Yarn (dye a ball of your own yarn with red herb or flower) | Banana (purchase on Toucan Island at Pineapple Inn from Samson) | | Other Information: Completing this rainbow unlocks another island to visit. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Red | | Sprite Name: Alan | Location: The Tree on Brownie Ranch | | Ingredients: | Mokugyo (caught at the goddess fountain on top of Gelato Mountain, only | at night, using high-level pole) (credit to RanchStory.co.uk) | Greenreen Grass (grow your own in Winter; or, purchase at Harvest | Festival or from Samson on Toucan Island at Pineapple Inn) | Ostrich Mayonnaise (put ostrich egg in the mayo maker; or, buy from Maya | during Spring/Summer markets) | Carrot Cake (buy from Elli at Fall/Winter markets; or, make it yourself) | Strange Mushroom (spotty mushrooms, found in the mines) | | Other Information: Completing this rainbow unlocks the mountain summit, the | home of the final rainbow. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Purple | | Sprite Name: Edge | Location: The Tree at the Mountain Summit | | Ingredients: | Snowdrop Flower (grow them in Winter; or, buy them at Spring/Summer | market) | Red Honey (grow red flowers and watch for bees) | Tuna (fish in the ocean in Spring/Fall/Winter with high-level pole) | Shining Melon (buy it during Summer; or, grow it yourself) | Lapis Lazuli (find blue orbs in the mine and have Mira appraise them) | | Other Information: Completing this rainbow grants access to the goddess | tree's location to finally reawaken the goddess. | |\ | \_____________________________________________________________________[GST]_ | | | The Tree | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/There's MORE?! Yes, there's more. After reviving the five trees, you have | a few more tasks to do. Fortunately, these tasks are not as fully involved | as the previous ones, but unfortunately it may involve waiting a couple | months, depending on when you finish the rainbows. | | After finishing the rainbows, various little scenes will take place. I | won't detail what happens in these scenes (find out yourself!), but I'll | let you know what you need to do to trigger the scenes. | | - Walk by the outside of Meringue Clinic | - Talk to Jin | - Climb the lighthouse and look around | - Dig down to the 10th level of the small mine | - Find Calvin and talk to him | - Visit the Sundae Inn and speak with the Mayor | - Find the key in the Mayor's kitchen | - Wait until the event in Spring | | That last part's the annoying part if you revive the final tree in summer, | for example. If you have any further questions on this part, let me know, | but this sequence should be sufficient. | |\ | \___________________________________________________________________________ |_____________________________________________________________________________|
