HM:StH All Endings Notes (Chicken spam)

Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
All Endings Notes (Chicken spam)
[Updated 27 May 2024]

- CHECK BIRTHDAY SPAM EFFECTS

GENERAL THEORYCRAFTING
- HR is not only good to get out of the way, but has good downtime in the morning that could be used for foraging or gathering eggs if you did multi-chicken strats
- That could be used to get the Golden Egg early, and also generate enough money for a cow, which could lead right into CC
- From there, you could chain cows again for the remainder of the money
- Also, instead of having to do 2 days of gifting to Bob set up his horse cutscene (which you won't have access to without the horse anyway), you can always spam Gina on Spring 2 to trigger GD1 (although she is out of the way on the Tuesday)
- Treasure Hunts require 920G and 960G, for a total of 1880G

SPAMS PER ENDING (no GQs)

ROUGH NOTES

HORSE RACE
- Goddess Questions: POSITIVE
- Spring 2:
	> Fill watering can and till 5 tiles before the first forage
	> Do PTW at Bob's (talk+brush horses, brush cow)
	> Buy 5 tomato seeds on the way home, then plant and water
- Water and check Carpenter's area for VBs and Herbs before PTW
- Harvest on Spring 10, 13, 16
- After any PTW, stop at Ronald's and buy an egg, then incubate before sleeping
- Keep doing PTW until 7 total, then sleep until Spring 22
	> Forage for VBs, MDs, and Herbs before every PTW
	> These are for money, Fishy Story, as well as food for the dog later on
- Spring 22:
	> Hatch egg and bring chicken outside
	> Check Carpenter's area as usual
	> Sell all tomatoes and 4 VBs to Ronald
	> Do PTW (brush all, no talk)
	> Buy a cow
	> Head home, put cow out to pasture, and sleep until Spring 25
- Spring 25
	> Do chicken escape
	> Spam Bob 48 times outside his barn
	> Leave the chicken at Brownie Farm!!!
	> Sleep once
- Spring 26
	> Obtain horse and put him out to pasture
	> Sleep until Fall 22
- Fall 22: 1-heart CS
- Fall 23: 2-heart CS
- After Fall 24, sleep until Fall 26 and check horse's status:
	> He needs at least 4 hearts
	> Perfect luck would have him reaching 4 hearts on Fall 26
	> If still at 3 hearts, sleep until he has 4 and exit for Bob's challenge
- Race day:
	> Bob's challenge; complete the race
	> After the race, sell the chicken+cow, buy another chicken, and head home
	> Put the chicken and horse outside before sleeping
- Sleep for a week and exit for Bob's reminder
- Sleep for a week and exit for Bob's final visit
- Sleep once and exit for the ending
- You will risk some rain for the horse and chicken, but they shouldn't die unless you got really bad weather luck when sleeping earlier (thus pushing you much deeper into the Winter mild season)
- If you get a third rainy day, consider putting the horse in the barn and feeding; too many rainy days and he runs too slow or can't be ridden at all

CAKE CONTEST
- Spring 2:
	> Put horse and chicken outside
	> Sleep
- Spring 3:
	> Reset if rain and try again for no rain
	> Do chicken escape
	> Spam Gina 11 times
	> Spam Katie 53 times
	> Enter and exit the Goddess spring to get rid of the chicken, then enter the cafe for CS1
	> Head back to the farm and get the recipe, then ride the horse to the cafe for CS2
	> Ride to the Villa for CS4, then ride back to the cafe and enter by 5pm
	> Head home, put the chicken back out, and sleep until Spring 21
- Spring 21:
	> GD1 will trigger
	> Check for Golden Egg
	> Ride horse to Bob's and buy a cow (can buy some chicken feed for safety, maybe just a few bags)
	> Buy milker from Louis (should be 500G remaining)
	> Put cow out to pasture and sleep until Fall 24
- From Fall 24, check for Golden Egg and Golden Milk everyday (keep non-Golden items for safety money)
- Once you have Golden Egg and Golden Milk, on the next non-Mon/Thu, sell the cow, buy Animal Medicine, and finish the ending at the cafe
- Mon/Thu are Fall 25/28, Winter 2/5/9/13
- Sleep for a week and exit for the ending
- If the cow would get sick due to really bad luck, may just have to bite the bullet and take it inside

AZURE SWALLOWTAIL
- There is a chance you won't get any rain before Lyla's first farm cutscene; in this case, trigger it early (as soon as you can) and let the animals get sick during the Spring rainy season, and MAKE SURE they both die before you plant on Summer 18
- The reason they have to die early is because if they die late (after Summer rainy season), you could lose days during the crucial part of the ending, and Goddess spring cutscenes can't be triggered after Summer
- Spring 2:
	> Get the chicken and do chicken escape (has to be quick to hit Lyla; reset and try again if too slow)
	> Spam Lyla 60 times (need minimum 44, but the extra is for animal deaths)
	> Spam Kurt 4 times at the Villa (can just spam until you see his text change)
	> Head home, leave the chicken outside, put the horse out, and sleep
- On the next non-rainy non-Tue/Thu:
	> Fill watering can
	> Talk+gift Kurt at the Carpenter's area
	> Exit and re-enter the area for the first CS
	> Gather any Herbs you see
	> Head to the Flower Shop and enter for the second CS
	> Head home and sleep until Summer 13
	> If you get any rain after Spring 2, do NOT tend to the chicken or horse
- Summer 13: Exit for first animal death
- Summer 14: Exit for second animal death
- Summer 15: Trigger CS3 and sleep 3 times
- Summer 18:
	> Trigger CS4
	> MAKE SURE WATERING CAN IS FILLED!!!
	> Plant+water Blue Mist
- Hope for rain on Summer 19/20, but water as needed
- Rainy season Summer 21-26 (water as needed)
- Summer 27: CS at Goddess spring
