HARVEST MOON 4 The Tunnel Mine Between Bluebell Town and Konohana Town is a tunnel that connects the villages together. At the beginning of the game you'll find that the Goddess intentionally collapsed the tunnel to stop the villagers from contacting each other. As you play through the game you will repair the tunnel and the villages' friendship. Once the tunnel is repaired, you can run through it and randomly find Scrap Metal, Copper, Silver, or even Ore Stone on the ground each day. These random ground items are notwhat the Harvest Goddess means when she refers to being able to gain access to a mine. If you continue to expand the tunnel you'll discover that there's a hidden mine half-way through it! To access the mine you'll need to do the following: 1.Complete the tunnel between the two towns by participating in the seasonal cooking festivals. As you gain 3 hearts of friendship with the ma yors, Eileen will post a "Through the Tunnel" request on the Bluebell message board on the first day of the new season. You'll need to complete this request three times before the path between the towns has been repaired. 2.Expand your farm to 100% in size. You'll need to complete all of Eileen's farm construction requestsand then stay on the farm. If you move to the other farm and it's not at 100%, then you will simply get anothe r farm renovation request instead of moving towards unlocking the mine. 3.Make sure yourRequest Level is at 5 or higher. 4.Because your farm is at 100%, Eileen's last renovation request will be the "A Hot Spring" request. The spa will cost 2,000,000 G, 50 Material Stone, and 50 Lumber. 5.Now that she's out of construction work (don't move farms!) , Eileen will prompt you forthe fourth "Through the Tunnel" request. Bring her 10 Lumber, 10 Material Stone, and 500,000 G. This will unlock a southern path through the tunnel, but you won't find any gems there; just another opportunity to find Scrap Metal, C opper, Silver, and Ore Stone. 6.Finally, you will get the mine request. It will cost 1, 000,000 G, 10 Material Stone, and 10 Lumber. 7.Access to the mine will be from staircases on the n orthern wall of the tunnel.

Between Bluebell Town and Konohana Town is a tunnel that connects the villages together. At
the beginning of the game you'll find that the Goddess intentionally collapsed the tunnel to stop
the villagers from contacting each other. As you play through the game you will repair the tunneland the villages' friendship.
Once the tunnel is repaired, you can run through it and randomly find Scrap Metal, Copper,
Silver, or even Ore Stone on the ground each day. These random ground items are not what the
Harvest Goddess means when she refers to being able to gain access to a mine.
If you continue to expand the tunnel you'll discover that there's a hidden mine half-way through
it! To access the mine you'll need to do the following:
1. Complete the tunnel between the two towns by participating in the seasonal cooking
festivals. As you gain 3 hearts of friendship with the mayors, Eileen will post a "Throughthe Tunnel" request on the Bluebell message board on the first day of the new season.
You'll need to complete this request three times before the path between the towns has
been repaired.
2. Expand your farm to 100% in size. You'll need to complete all of Eileen's farmconstruction requests and then stay on the farm. If you move to the other farm and it's not
at 100%, then you will simply get another farm renovation request instead of moving
towards unlocking the mine.3. Make sure your Request Level is at 5 or higher.
4. Because your farm is at 100%, Eileen's last renovation request will be the "A Hot Spring"
request. The spa will cost 2,000,000 G, 50 Material Stone, and 50 Lumber.
5. Now that she's out of construction work (don't move farms!), Eileen will prompt you for the fourth "Through the Tunnel" request. Bring her 10 Lumber, 10 Material Stone, and
500,000 G. This will unlock a southern path through the tunnel, but you won't find any
gems there; just another opportunity to find Scrap Metal, Copper, Silver, and Ore Stone.6. Finally, you will get the mine request. It will cost 1,000,000 G, 10 Material Stone, and 10
Lumber.
7. Access to the mine will be from staircases on the northern wall of the tunnel. Each day
you can find ores and gems from the four foraging spots inside the mine. Just like looking
for wild items in the mountain, walk up to one of the four spots and press A until you see
the "There's nothing here." message. Then move onto the next one. You do not need to
use your Hammer.
8. 9. The path through the mine is very dark. If you want more visible light, you can have
Oracle make the Night Vision alchemy potion. You will need to bring her a Strawberry, a
Carrot, and Fluorite. After you eat the potion, you can see better in the mine tunnel butit's not completely clear. Your vision will be expanded for the rest of the day.
10. Along the path of the mine you will come across geysers. If you walk across the geyser
while it is erupting, you will be pushed out of the mine and land at the bottom of thewaterfall in the Konohana mid-mountain area! The geysers erupt about every 15 minutes
in-game so be careful when walking up to one. It is more efficient to wait for the eruption
and then run over the geyser than to have to run all the way back to the mine from themountain area.11. Just like with the mountain items, the star rank of the foraged ores and gems will be
determined by the year you are in. In year three you can get ores and gems from 2.5 to 3
stars, year four is 3 to 3.5 stars, and between year five and year nine you'll find 4 to 4.5
star rank items. You can't find 5 star rank items until year ten.12. The ores and gems in the four mine foraging spots are not seasonal. You'll find the same

Cooking Basics
In your house you'll find a kitchen in the upper-right corner. You can use this kitchen to createcooked recipes. At the beginning of the game you can use the kitchen, but you can only craft
recipes that don't require a cooking utensil.
Around Spring 8 of your first year, Howard (if you live in Bluebell) or Yun (if you live in
Konohana) will visit your house in the morning and give you a cooking Pot. Now you can cook
dishes that require the use of the Pot as its utensil of choice. The other two cooking utensils, the
Frying Pan and Seasoning Set, will appear as red-papered item requests on your town's message board at the beginning of the season. You'll see the Frying Pan around Summer 1 of your first
year and the Seasoning Set on Fall 1 if you complete the Frying Pan request before it expires.
To make a cooked recipe, walk up to your kitchen and press A. You will be given two cooking
If you know the recipe you want to cook, select the first option to cook the saved recipe. Whenyou select the recipe from your cookbook, the ingredients on the top screen will be on either a
red or a green background:
A red background means you have to use this specific ingredient in the recipe.
A green background means that this ingredient can be swapped out with another like-
ingredient.
For example, if you are making Corn Cereal then you must use a Frying Pan and Corn, as these
two ingredients are on a red colored background. The last ingredient, Milk, is on a green colored background. This means that the Milk can be replaced with another milk product, such as Jersey
Milk or Golden Milk, and the recipe can still successfully be created.
If you aren't sure what the icon in the ingredient list represents, press the X button on your DS or
3DS to swap the top screen to the bottom screen. When the list of recipe ingredients is on thetouch screen of the console you can tap on each one to learn its name.
To continue cooking with your selected recipe, press the A button to reach the pre-selected
ingredient screen. If you want to change your ingredients, such as selecting one with a higher Star Rank or freshness rating, you can do so from this screen. When you've confirmed the
ingredients you want to use, select the MAKE button at the bottom of the page.
Cook Without Recipe
You can learn recipes by combining ingredients together and hope they result in a recordablerecipe. When you explore the villagers' houses you can find recipe hints to try in your own
kitchen. The other options are to randomly experiment with mixing ingredients or to use an
online list of recipes. You can also naturally learn recipes by becoming inspired.
When you try to cook using your own imagination, your rucksack will be open on the left side of the screen and your selected ingredients will be on the lower-right green Ingredients box. If you
want to swap between your rucksack and horse cart storage, press the X button. You don't need
to have all of the ingredients you want to use in your rucksack; selecting from your horse cart is
okay too.
A cooked recipe is made of up to six ingredients. To add an ingredient, simply press the A buttonwhen the item you want is highlighted on the left-side storage area. When you're ready to
combine the items, press the MAKE button at the bottom of the screen.
Don't forget to add a cooking utensil if your recipe requires one! It is common for players to
add the necessary ingredients to the Ingredients box but then forget to add in the necessary
cookware utensil. Even if you have all the right ingredients, omitting the required utensil willresult in a Failed Dish.
Generally, you will want to first add the cookware utensil, then the base recipe ingredients, andthen finally any additional ingredients that the recipe supports. For example, to make Turnip
Salad, which doesn't require a cooking utensil, you can combine a Turnip and add in a Tomato as
an additional ingredient. If you reverse the order (Tomato and then the Turnip) you'll end upmaking Tomato Salad instead.
Becoming Inspired to Learn New Recipes
As you are using your kitchen, sometimes you will automatically figure out a new cooking recipeafter you create a dish. If you use the kitchen 10 times to make the same category of recipe, then
you will be inspired and learn a new recipe from the same type-category. You don't have to cook
the pre-inspired dish 10 times in a row (it is 10 times total) and the inspiration comes from using
the kitchen and not based on the quantity: if you make a Turnip Salad, put it in your rucksack,and then make another Turnip Salad, that will count as 2 times. If you make a Turnip Salad and
select two for the number of dishes you want to make, that will only count as 1 time.
If you already know the recipe, then you'll learn the next recipe in the list. For example, if you
cook 10 Turnip Salads (each one at a time) then you'll automatically learn the recipe for Tomato
Salad. If you already knew the recipe for Tomato Salad, then you'll be inspired to learn HerbSalad instead. When you create a total of 10 Turnip Salads, Tomato Salads, or Herb Salads, then
you will be inspired and learn the recipe for Caprese Salad, and so on.
Note: Before you can learn Ultimate Curry from 10 Failed Dishes, your Cooking Level needs to
be at level 9 or higher.
he List of Cooking Recipes
There are a two ways you can discover cooking recipes in Tale of Two Towns; either by cooking
it or by being inspired after you successfully cook a recipe. You can find recipe instructions byreading the bookshelves in the villagers' houses. Then you just have to cook it to see if you get

In the mountain area that resides between the towns you'll find a lot of wild items on the ground.You can pick up these items, for free, and ship them for money, give them as gifts, or collect
them for message board requests. Each day you'll find new items on the ground and in the
foraging spots. The items will change depending on the season you are in and the weather.
The wild items will have a star rank but not all of them have a freshness rating. Items like rocks,
snowballs, and branches will never rot but flowers, herbs, mushrooms, and the like do have afreshness to them. The star rank that the wild item has will depend on the current season that you
are in; the farther you are in years, the higher the star rank of the wild items you can find. In year
one you can find wild items with a maximum of 1.5 stars, year two items have a maximum of 2stars, year three are 3 stars, and year four is 3.5 stars. Starting in year five you will be limited to
finding wild items that have a max star rank of 4.5 and 5 star items won't be available until you
have reached year ten in your game.

Information on how to find Ore Stone can be found on the Ore Stone page.
Foraging Spots
Many of the items you'll find can picked up off of the ground in any of the mountain areas, but
there are eight special foraging spots where you can find up to five items per day. Just walk up to
these spots and press A to see what you can find. There are three stump spots, two log spots, one bamboo thicket, and 2 rocky cliff spots. In these eight spots you'll always have a chance of
finding Rock, Weed, or Branches.
You'll find the standard seasonal items in the foraging spots, but you can also find the Red andOrange Wonderful Stones hidden in these foraging spots:
Spring: Check the waterfall crack foraging spot in Konohana Mid-Mountain on a rainy day. The
bamboo thicket in Konohana Low-Mountain might have a red or orange stone during any
weather.
Summer: The mountain crack foraging spot in Bluebell Low-Mountain on rainy day, or the tree
stump foraging spot in Bluebell Mid-Mountain on sunny days.
Fall: On rainy days you might find a red or orange stone in the tree stump near the bare-hand
fishing area in Konohana Low-Mountain.
The red and orange stones can't be found during Winter season. Once you find one, you won't be
able to find another of the same color until you've found all six stones. After you make your
wonderful stone wish, the six stones will scatter across the mountain so you can find them again.
Jumping into the Rivers
You can also find items by jumping into the mountain rivers or the mine geysers. All of thewater areas will have a chance of finding the same types of items, but you'll lose 20 stamina points if you jump into the water. If you jump into the water after 9:00 pm, then you'll lose 50
stamina!
90% chance: Find nothing (sorry!)
9% chance: Branch, Fish Bones, Mint, Poison Mushroom, Shimeji, Small Coin, Stone, Walnut, or
