Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Cheats

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life cheat codes, tricks, hints, and walk throughs.

Hint: Banana Gold

Buy a banana seed, plant the seed, and take care of it. Then, buy the seed harvester. The next summer, take your bananas and harvest the seeds. Plant a few fo the seeds, but sell the rest to Van--they sell for 750 a seed, and a tree will yield 30+ bananas.

Hint: Best Fishing Spot

Go to "Dig" site, and notice that the waterfall has a head-like figure on the right side. Aim your fishing rod at the head and let your line roll down the stream. Here you can catch Yamume 500g, Big Yamume 1000g, Huchep 90g, Big Huchep 170g, Nayamume 60g, and Big Nayamume 130g. Not a "Snelt" or "Columbo" in sight!

It takes over "one HM hour" to catch the Yamume, "one-and-a-half HM hours" to catch the Big Yamume, and about "one-half HM hour" to get the other fish I mentioned above. Don't pull the rod back until you catch something, because at this spot it'll be worth your while. The fish line will settle at the left side of the stream "wall" if you haven't caught anything while it's moving downstream. This is OK -- leave it there for at least a half HM hour. If it goes over a half HM hour and you haven't caught anything, then you know you're getting something big so keep waiting.

Hint: Chase Away Rain and Hurricanes

When it's stormy outside and you want to stop the rain, visit a mine and do some digging. As you emerge from the mine the rain will stop.

Hint: Duplicate Ruby Spice

Start cooking in your kitchen and choose any recipe type. Select only Ruby Spice and then press START--you'll have one more Ruby Spice. Repeat the trick to get up to 99 Ruby Spice, but don't create any more than 99. If you do you'll end up not being able to use all your bottles, and won't be able to continue living your Wonderful Life.

Hint: Earn Easy Money

If you own a seed maker and any type of tree you can easily get thousands of dollars. When you shake the tree for the fruit don't sell the fruit. Instead, put it in your seed maker to get seeds from the fruit. When the seeds are made, sell them to Van for more profit.

Hint: Find Out Who Loves You

To find out how much the girl of your dreams wants you, look at her diary. You can find Celia's on her bed in the upstairs of her house. For Molly, you can look on the table with the flowers at the Blue Bar. For Nami, follow her to her room at the Inner Inn.

Hint: Fishy Advice

Early in the game, the best way to make money is to fish. Buy the rod from Van and go up the river to where you see three rocks. You can make over a 1,000 in money a day. Also, if you cast and there are no bites for a very long time, don't give up and don't recast either! Wait it out and you'll be rewarded with a Yamame or Big Yamame, which go for 500 and 1,000 respectively.

Hint: Free Seed Maker

Befriend the scientist by giving him gifts, and he will give you the seed maker for free at the beginning of the second year.

Hint: Get Pets

Cat: Make friends with Romana, and during the fall season of the second chapter, wake up after your wife. Romana will give you a cat.
Duck: Purchase a pond from Takakura and, during the summer season of chapter two, wake up after your wife.
Goat: Van sells ducks when his shop is open during the spring season.

Hint: Haggle Prices with Van

You can negotiate with Van up to three times on anything worth over 100g (including milk, fish, etc.). For example, go to sell him 3 Yamume fish worth 500g each -- first he offers 1500g, and when refused, he offers 1800g, then refused again and he settles for his final offer of 2100g. This third offer doesn't happen often, but the second does, so just keep refusing his first offer price until he up's it.

Hint: Love Tips

It's pretty easy to win over any of the girls. You just have to give Muffy almost any flower, or you can give her the Pretty Ore. Also, she only likes one fish--the Big Huechep. To Nami give her artifacts and in the fall give her trick blue flowers. Give Celia flowers and she will love you anyday.

Give your girl one of these things each day and she will be falling for you in no time. If you do have trouble getting Nami to fall for you, just propose to the other girls and she will get jealous, and end up liking you more.

Hint: Marry Celia in One Season

Give Celia the Goddess Drop--located near Vesta's--every day, and then on the first day of summer her diary should have four hearts. Then, when you wake up on the first day of summer, Nik Nak and Flak wil give you a blue feather (if you order bird feed, the blue feather should be with the bird feed). Give the flower to Celia answer her "Yes," you are serious.

Hint: No Fertilizer S-Rank Tree Upgrade

Note: Must have Tartan for this trick to work.

Normally, you arean't supposed to be able to mix crops or flowers with trees to get a different result, but in this case you can.

Step 1: Take any crop in seed form and upgrade it to S rank with the UP-Seed. (You have to have Tartan to make hybrids.)
Step 2: Take the desired B-Rank tree you wish to make S-Rank and place it in the first slot of Tartan.
Step 3: Take the S-Rank crop and place it in the second slot.
Step 4: Make sure that the B-Rank tree is in the first slot, and the S-Rank crop is in the second slot in order for the trick to work.
Step 5: Use Tartan to get an S-Rank tree without wasting thousands on fertilizer.

Hint: Quick Cash

If you are having trouble making money, gather up all of your fodder. Fodder sells for 10 gold a piece and one sell of 99 pieces will get you 990 gold.

Hint: Sleep Without Passing Time

Select the Diary and choose to sleep. Save the game when prompted to, and then reset your GameCube. Load the save file you just made and you'll begin before you went to sleep but will be fully rested.

Hint: Weather Control

If you are disatisfied with your weather go to your TV and keep turning it on and off on the weather channel until it gives you the weather you want.

Hint: Win All Horse Racing Bets

Before attending a horse race, save your game ahead of time. After the race ends, remember who won the race, then reset your GameCube and load the file you saved before the race happened. Once the game is loaded, return to the horse race and place your bets on the horse that originally won the race.

Hint: Win Celia's Heart

Give Celia a flower every day, and buy seeds from her occassionally. Her diary tells you how she likes you--if it's red, she digs you. You can view her diary on her bed.
