Harvest Moon is not just a game. It is another life. When people mention the two words 'Game' and 'Farming' they generally shudder and even cry. However, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life is a brilliant game. The graphics are beautiful, with shadows being cast on the ground as the sun moves across the sky, and dusty hurricanes whipping up so you can barely see, and you feel the element of danger. The water in the river runs with a glimmer of the sun and when it gets dark, the moon hangs in the sky like a crystal ball. How can anyone hate this game? It may get a bit repetitive, but the storyline and background of each character you meet is a story plot in its own right. Anyway, on with the walkthrough!

Forget-Me-Not-Valley is where you will spend the whole game. It is peaceful, and not very busy. However, there are lots of things to do. Here is a list of practically everything you can do, but there are one or two you should discover for yourself.
(YEAR ONE)
- Milk your cow(s)
- Collect eggs
- Tend to your crops
- Give presents to the villagers
- Woo a potential wife
- Help out at the dig
- Shear any sheep
- Order tools
- Pick flowers and weeds
- Sell random objects to Van in large amounts
- Talk to people
- Trigger events (be in the right place at the right time)
- Wash your livestock
- Order a pond
(YEAR TWO)
- Play with your child
- Milk a goat
- Bargain for a goat

Note that these change after the first year, so these are just for the start of the game, so there are no spoilers.
This is where the money making is mainly done. You and your family live here, as do the animals you buy. Tend to your crops, feed animals and order objects here.
A competing farm. Buy seeds here. Celia, a potential wife, lives here.
Help out at the dig here, and you can uncover valuable objects to sell, or give to Muffy or Nami.
Tim, Ruby and their son Rock own this Inn. Nami lives upstairs.
Muffy works here, along with Griffin, the owner.
Right-hand house. Old folks Galen and Nina live here.
Left-hand house. Wally, Chris and their son Hugh live here. It has cool music.
Daryl the scientist lives here.
The twins Kassey and Patrick live here, making fireworks. You can play a game with them for a small prize.
Cody the metal artist lives here. It's noisy.
Rich old woman Ramona, her grand-daughter Lumina and their butler Sabastian live here. Often piano music can be heard.

Cows- These require a lot of attention, and twice a day milking. It's better to do it with your hands, except if you want your son to be interested in science. Follow these five steps to get good A-Grade milk.
1) Wash and brush your cow frequently.
2) Hug your cow every time you see it.
3) Talk to it. This not only makes it happy, but lets you know how it is.
4) Always keep it's feeding box filled up to the top.
5) On sunny days, put it outside. On rainy days, bring it inside.
Chickens- Fill up the bird feeding box, and hug your chickens frequently. You get two types of eggs:
1) Normal- sell or eat these.
2) Fertilised- sell for more, or put in the incubator to get a baby chick.
3) Golden Eggs- Rare, but worth lots.
Goats- Same as cows.
Ducks- Same as chickens.
Sheep- Only male sheep can be bought. Buy a pair of sheers and you can cut their wool to sell for profit. However, you have to wait until it grows.
Horse- You only get one. Make it happy and feed it. The best thing is that you can ride it.

Harvest Moon Fishing Guide.
Aha, welcome to the king of…fishing guides. Fishing you say? Boring you say? Wrong indeed, you are. Fishing is without a doubt one of the best parts about Harvest Moon : A Wonderful Life, and it’s quite possible to make a fair amount just from fishing, although I’m sure non of us just want to fish in a game that allows you to run around with chickens, shouting madly into the midnight air, “You’ll never take me! Never! I’m taking my story to the Feds!”. Or something.
So yeah, anyway, on with the walkthrough. Hope you find it useful (if not for the fishing, then for the few moments it will take your mind of your increasingly dull and inferior lives).
1. Getting started.
First off, to fish you’ll need a pole. Now, for people who’ve been playing the game for a while, the rod will already have been purchased, however, if you’re new to the game, then you can easily buy a fishing pole of Van, who sets up his stall in the middle of time every 3rd and 8th days of the month, and also random days throughout the season. Once you have the pole, it’s time to move onto the real fishing bit.
2. Places to fish
There’s really five places to fish in the game, although there aren’t set parameters, so some people may disagree slightly. The five places are:-
The Lower River. The lower river is basically the part of the river which is past the bridge going out to sea.
The Middle River. The middle river is the bit of the river which is on the other side of the bridge, and goes up to about to the waterfall area.
The Waterfall. The waterfall is right at the top of the river, and you can easily get there by following the path that runs from Celia’s farm up to the archaeologist dig site.
The Pond. This lies near where the little dwarf people live in the big tree, and it’s surrounded by flowers.
The Swamp. This is the bit that’s pretty near to the Scientist’s house, and it’s surrounded by trees and other swampy things (shush), so you may need to get a little closer to be able to see it properly.
3. Types of fish
There are 16 different types of fish to be found in the game, and they’re the Arna, Colombo, Snelt, Nyameme, Rainbob, Huchep, Yameme, Sharshark, Big Arna, Big Colombo, Big Snelt, Big Nyameme, Big Rainbob, Big Huchep, Big Yameme and the Big Sharshark. A mouthful, I know.
Pricing guide.
Sell the fish to Van, and you can make quite a bitta dollah. He’s give you the following amounts for the fish.
Colombo 20g
Snelt 30g
Nyameme 60g
Rainbob 80g
Huchep 90g
Arna 400g
Yameme 500g
Sharshark 600g
Big Colombo 40g
Big Snelt 60g
Big Nyameme 130g
Big Rainbob 150g
Big Huchep 170g
Big Arna 800g
Big Yameme 1000g
Big Sharshark 1200g
Not bad eh? Like I say, you can get quite a bit of money just by fishing, but meh, slightly tedious just doing that the entire game. Fishing’s more of a side-quest, but you must admit, it’s a pretty rewarding one.
4. Where to find the fish
You’ll find the following fish at the following locations.
The Lower River
Snelt + Big Snelt
Colombo + Big Columbo
Sharshark + Big Sharshark
Rainbob + Big Rainbob
The Middle River
Colombo + Big Columbo
Snelt + Big Snelt
Sharshark + Big Sharshark
The Waterfall
Huchep + Big Huchep
Yamame + Big Yamame
Nyamame + Big Nyamame
The Pond
Arna + Big Arna
Colombo + Big Columbo
Snelt + Big Snelt
Rainbob + Big Rainbob
Yamame + Big Yamame
The Swamp
Colombo + Big Columbo
Snelt + Big Snelt
Arna + Big Arna
Yameme + Big Yameme
As you can see, the waterfall’s easily the best place to catch fish, with the worst fish you can get selling at 60g a pop. The swamps pretty good for catching smelts, which you can eat, plus they’re too cheap to sell really, so it’s good for food.
5. Extra tips
1) To get the fishing rod (much improved version of the pole) you need to become friendly with Galen in chapter 2. After much talking to him, he’ll eventually give you the rod.
2) Don’t eat Columbo, ever. He hates it. Give them away as presents (mwahaha).
3) The best place is the waterfall as mentioned. Good fish are really quite common there, so go there as often as possible.
4) Fish in the rain, it produces better results.
5) Cook with fish. It’s easy, and after 20 cookings, the “shashimi” will be available. Any fish made to shashimi will sell for 150g, so use your columbos and snelts.
That’s all you’re getting. Hopefully, you’ll find fishing rewarding and fun like I did.
Peace out dudes.
