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

The slime appears with oth­er mon­sters. The bridge there is a great place to fish!

Fairy

Anoth­er great place to fish!

Big Muck

Chip­squeak

Next to the spring

Ignis

Garmr

Dropped a Crim­son Fur when killed

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 2x2 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.

DIY: Replacing 2012 Subaru Outback Brake Light Bulb

03/22/2018

One of my brake lights went out, so I need­ed to replace it.

Dif­fi­cul­ty: Very Easy!

Time: 5–10 min­utes

Tools: Philips head screwdriver(s), replace­ment bulb, gloves (impor­tant!!) and option­al ratch­et­ing sock­et wrench

Here we go!

  1. Open the trunk and you see this:

2. Use the screw­driv­er to unscrew, and you’ll feel it click twice-ish

20180322_191036599386176.jpg

3. It’ll pop out like this, so care­ful­ly twist/pull it and the ring out. Repeat with the 2nd one

20180322_1910291470127601.jpg

4. Care­ful­ly insert a thin screw­driv­er or pry tool around the side clos­est to the out­side and gen­tly loosen the part until it pops out

5. Now you see this

6. Take your big­ger screw dri­ver and locate these screws. Mine hap­pened to be stripped from last time and replaced WAY too tight­ly, so I need­ed the sock­et wrench to help

8. And with a lit­tle pull towards you, the whole hous­ing comes off!

9. The one we need today is the mid­dle grey one where the lines con­nect. Just a lit­tle twist and off it comes

10. There’s the old bulb. Just give it a tug and replace it with the new bulb

20180322_190808206905897.jpg

11. New bulb! *Impor­tant* Wear gloves before putting the new bulb in!! So, every­thing now goes back­wards. Put the bulb in and twist until it locks in place

12. Replace the brake hous­ing. There are two tabs on the side where the hous­ing will slide into.

20180322_1908541715738830.jpg

13. Slide it in…and…

14. …push! It’ll click into place.

15. Do every­thing back­wards and VOILA!!!

All done. Make sure the light works, but that’s all there is to it!!!

This is what hap­pens, by the way, when you touch the bulbs with your bare hands. The upper bulb has a burned spot where the oil from my fin­ger got, heat­ed up, and *poof* burned out the bulb.
