RF3 - a guide from what I've gotten so far., Many of your might have already gotten this far but sharing is good. Options

Time to share my info with everyone!
It's been my 4th day playing and I'm still trying to work my way through the game without throwing my DS on my wall because I get so confused at times.

The basics:
I won't list them here..because someone already made a topic on that already and I don't feel like repeating their words OR copying and pasting and then leaving credits..it's too much work and too repetetive.

First things first:
The Wooly Festival reaaaaaaaaally bugs me. The best weapon is to use the first selection..after what I've seen so far. IF you pick the ones with like the really high hit points..it really sucks because it totally slows your player down. I used the plastic hammer thing..and man I only hit the Wooly 3 times before my time went over...so I stuck with the first selection after resetting my game. I got 2nd place :) yayyy

#2:
Giving the monsters something can allow you to befriend them..I was looking for the friendship glove for so long..and out of the blue..I decided to chuck a stone rock at a wild Wooly..and suddenly..this Wooly is now my pet! Oo Crazy stuff..then I gave 9 pieces of scrap iron to a MOOMOO cow (dunno the real name..sorry) and it was happy.. Sometiems food works but I'd stick with the cheap stuff..they're eventually give in and love you. If you go over like...14 items (ie. Scrap iron) then give up or try with something expensive like food.
Flowers might work too..haven't tried that.



That's all I seem to have..because everything else is all posted by other players :)
I'll keep trying though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasmile.gif)

I was looking for the friendship glove for so long..and out of the blue..I decided to chuck a stone rock at a wild Wooly..and suddenly..this Wooly is now my pet!

I didn't know that Woolys like rocks... That's strange. XD
I befriended mine with an apple.

Tossing items at people is also a way that you can give them items, but, when you're battling with a partner in a dungeon, it doesn't always work out that way... --; I don't know how many times I've tossed food/medicine to someone and a monster got it instead. URGH. Miraculously, I've never befriended a monster that way. I've only healed them. (My partner usually hits the monster while its deciding if it liked the item or not, so that's probably why I've never befriended one that way.)

Edit: Oh, on that note, I guess I should add that you can take a person to a dungeon with you once they're at 3 hearts or above. (Wells, Marjorie, Ondolfa, and Donchacos excluded.) They can help you fight, and gain experience and level up just like you do. However, until they're at 7 hearts or higher, they'll call it quits at 7PM.

That might be useful for your guide. ^^

I've started slooowly adding things to the site, but I want to go through the story mode again before I put up a comprehensive story guide. Getting to some of those bosses is kind of hard, and I've already forgotten how I did it. XP

[aii]

Oh man you're good.
Oo

I know that you can bring a partner to fight with you but its so annoying though because they're weaker ><

About the throwing things at monsters and befriending them...
I think you can only like..heal them when your in the 4 differnt areas.
Until you upgrade your monster barn....
I think.
If that made any sense at all...

Im pretty sure I've beaten the first boss..
but I have no idea how to access the other ones.
Especially the Sand Desert boss..
I can;t go any further..
Thre's blocks of stones in the way..do I have to befriend one of those big crazy monsters to break them or what??

Apparently, from the videos I've seen of two different bachelorettes, your kids look the same no matter what bachelorette you marry, like usual RF.

The 1st bachelorette was the elf that likes painting, forgot her name...
2nd was Sakuya, or something like that...

Wow, that is very useful. ^^ Thanks.

I had some trouble getting all of Sophia, Ion, and Karin's requests, but it turned out that to advance with them, you also have to do some of Eliza, Carlos, and Hazel's requests. And that one where Sophia ran away was, in my personal opinion, one of the hardest of all. xx; It was so hard to find her and Gadzi, since they move around every few hours.

I've only started a storyline walk-through (I just started on the Oddwood Valley section), so this'll help when working on the marriage requirements for each girl. Thanks!

[aii]

Can anyone help me with the second boss? I don't know how to get pass that stone wall behind the Village in Sol Terrano Desert! >< Its' been a while...and I kinda want to move on..but I can't! Pleas ehelp!

[Marie]

I've been working pretty heavily on a walk-through for the site. This is what I have so far (I'll make a link to it on the site once I've completed a little more) :

http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/?games/Rune_Fa...ory_Walkthrough

There's a lot of running around in the desert to fulfill whatever task Cururufa gave to you. Once you take the flower from the cactus, the wall will go down and you can fight the boss.
