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?

Text B

  1. That this scare­crow was made
  2. At our Beau­mont Hall!
  3. Also good to hear
  4. Some hay sure­ly
  5. And some clothes indeed
  6. Maybe I can ask Rod­dy
  7. Or Grand­ma too
  8. And what of the head
  9. A pump­kin I guess
  10. Best in show! *get Mau­soleum*
  11. The scare­crow isn’t the only dec­o­ra­tion
  12. That I should focus on
  13. It’s also the grounds

  20. You will reign supreme
  21. Four hors­es of the apoc­a­lypse
  22. A bit too much
  23. But one I can do
  24. That should­n’t take much
  25. And what of a trib­ute
  26. To the witch­es of yore
  27. Stand­ing over a caul­dron
  28. Cast­ing a spell
  29. Maybe for effect
  30. I could cre­ate a well
  31. Bub­bling with green stuff

  35. It’s not a nor­mal pas­time
  36. That I know well
  37. Ah OK, the inter­net’s my friend
  38. For ingre­di­ents to meet my ends
  39. And once the slime is made
  40. I can turn my focus (Did not com­plete)

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 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.
