Tips and Tricks

In the beginning, get as many ropes and flax as possible. You need it for bridges.

Get rid of trees and other obstacles, and terraform to more easily see where you’re going in rooms

Sell things for money

Make sure to always have at least 2 tents on hand

When possible have at least 4 of every item at all times to prevent back forth running (no backpack limit)

Hammer is strongest weapon most of the game until the final level of spear. Strongest weapon is last item received in game.

Not sure if bunnies, geese, and pigs are randomly scattered or not

Frogs can be randomly found in water rooms

Wanted Monster Locations

In order to catch the monster, you have to use your Seal after whittling down its health (ZL button)

Orc Archer

It’s in the cave on the side of the river away from town

Slime

Fairy

Big Muck

Chipsqueak

Ignis

Garmr

Emperor Penguin

Silver Wolf

Mamadoodle

Malm Cat

Blood Panther

Ignis

Elementalist

Guardian

Hell Ghost

Mermaid, Little Dragon, and Ice Griffin

These 3 monsters become available after completing the main list. The rewards and locations are random and change daily. You are allowed to undertake each 1x a day.

Monster Taming

Use your Seal Spell (ZL button) to catch the monster and then feed it items until it gets the heart with flowers.
If it gets a heart with a skull after, then keep trying similar items until it becomes a heart with flowers
If you get all skulls and no hearts at all, you likely have no space in the barn. Either build a new one, an additional room, or clear a monster
Every monster has favorite items, but generally, you can use anything provided your level is high enough
Monster’s favorite items are usually items they drop
You can only use specific items on Boss monsters which is usually the items they drop themselves plus other particular items according to other guides.

Starfall Crops

The day after a meteor shower (totally random event denoted by the day’s icon) somewhere in the world (Phoros Woodlands, Kelve Volcanic Region, Lake Yumina, Gadeus Grasslands, etc) there will be a meteor crashed into the ground. Apparently, they are in certain locations, but it’s still random. My first one was in Phoros Woodlands in the desert.

You smash it with your hammer and get Starfall Seeds. The seed is huge and takes up a 2×2 area. Depending on what season you plant it in, you’ll get a particular crop. It takes several days before it can be harvested (I ended up using growth formulae because I’m impatient).

Mine was planted in the summer so I got Starfall Corn.

You can save it to cook with (or maybe enter the Harvest Festival with) or sell it for lots of moolas.

Creeper Screenshots

There’s a Badge you can use to sneak into everyone’s homes when they’re sleeping for “investigative purposes”. I found it both creepy and hilarious, so here are the screenshots for each character.

Note: Doug, Margaret, and Radea stay at the Hotel and have no option to choose to investigate. Every character DOES say something in an aside the first time you approach them in their beds.
