Hero of Leaf Valley Strategy Guides

You will find links to all current Guides for Hero of Leaf Valley on the right side of the page.

A new Characters Guide has been added to the list, which now includes an HoLV Walkthrough/General Guide, an HoLV 1st Year Events Calendar Guide, an HoLV Characters Guide and a Calendar of Festivals and Birthdays.

The 1st Year Events Calendar Guide now contains ALL Events that can occur in the first Year for all 16 of the Story Quests. I now shall begin on the 2nd Year Events Calendar Guide.

As well as continuing to add more general information to the Walkthrough/General Guide, I am adding schedules to the Characters Guide to help players locate any Character in Leaf Valley at any given time. So far, only a few schedules have been included. I added Alice's schedule and Parsley's schedules first as they are more difficult to locate than many of the other Characters.

By the end of the week, I hope to have created an HoLV Recipes Cookbook Guide.

All Characters Events in Cute

I spent almost the entire morning today transferring the text of all Characters events from my own Cute game journals to my Characters Guide for Cute. The expanded guide should be uploaded by IGN shortly. I dislike the term 'random events' as events in Harvest Moon seldom are random in nature. Almost every event will depend on a variety of requirements which, once met, will allow the event to trigger. I therefore prefer to refer to these events as Character Events.

In Harvest Moon DS and Harvest Moon Cute DS, almost all Character Events are based on Friendship level or FP. There are events that will trigger when a character reaches 100 FP, 200 FP and 250 or 255 FP respectively. These events often have weather and seasonal requirements as well but once all requirements are met, the event WILL trigger.

Some events, like Galen's Fishing Rod Event, Flora's 250FP event and Nina's Stocking Event actually unlock new options. Others simply provide background information on the characters in the game. All events provide points towards your characters' Farming Degree.

The text of all Heart and Rival Heart Events is given in my Courtship and Marriage Guide for Cute and I therefore did not duplicate this information in the Characters Guide. The Characters Guide includes the text of all Events that are neither Heart nor Rival Heart Events.

I did not have sufficient time to cross-reference my 1st Year Events Calendar Guide to add information as to precise date and time of each event to the text section of the Characters Guide. For the date, time and location of any Event included in the Characters Guide, refer to the Calendar section of the 1st Year Events Calendar Guide.
