Moving into autumn, a great time of year. Maybe it gets colder, but still reason for cheer because it’s the moment again! My favorite festival, Halloween, is here! last year’s decorations rocked and now we need to outdo them. Roddy mentioned a competition…my interest is piqued! A town full of scarecrows: a real sight to see! The best gets selected and take pride of place at the foot of the Town Hall in a prominent space. And not only that, the townsfolk will know that the other scarecrows that didn’t quite make the grade will be a win for Hopewell Bay in a very different way. Off they will go to fields near and far to protect our crops, standing there, bizarre. Our Hopewell Berries, protected in this way, may yield a successful harvest, and that sounds A-OK! So, to make this scarecrow, what do I need?

That this scarecrow was made at our Beaumont Hall! Also good to hear! Some hay, surely, and some clothes indeed…maybe I can ask Roddy or Grandmas, too. And what of the heat? A pumpkin, I guess. Best in Show! The scarecrow isn’t the only decoration that I should focus on. It’s also the grounds that are going to need some. My mind is buzzing with ideas this year. Inspiration, you have been found! This year a twist on a theme: skeletons and pumpkins, you will reign supreme! Four horses of the apocalypse: a bit too much, but one I can do that wouldn’t take much. And what of a tribute to the witches of yore standing over a cauldron casting a spell? Maybe for effect I could create a well bubbling with green stuff. Yeah, that wounds swell! But maybe I need details…how does one make green slime? It’s not a nomral pastime that I know well. Ah. Okay. The internet’s my friend for ingreidents to meet my ends. And once the slime is made, I can turn my focus.

This Halloween harvest is new to me. It says so much for a community that works well together. It’s a great idea for Hopewell Bay where, come what may, to have a competition, we make use of our play. It would be nice for us to win: to have our scarecrow standing sharp with a grin. But I love the idea that the town will win. I says something for this place that we work together to look after our harvest in our shared want to have Hopeberry Pie all year round. We won’t let you down because, my oh my, that is understood you are that good. I wonder how it started, this whole competition? With Hopberries in mind

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 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.
