Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
Any% Cake Contest Notes (Moondrop Dew Skip)
[Updated 3 May 2024]

- Goddess Questions: NEGATIVE
- Spring 2:
	> Must get a weed by the time you reach Katie
	> Fill the watering can then till 10 tiles, throwing away all minerals
	> Forage at the Villa, and intro+gift Gina (weed intro if you got a weed at the Villa)
	> Do part-time work, brushing cow and all horses (+170G)
	> Go to Flower Shop and sell until 300G, then buy 10 corn seeds
	> Forage on the way to the cafe
	> Enter the cafe, weed intro+gift Katie, then exit and re-enter for CS1
	> Re-enter again and show Katie the weed 5 times, then throw away the weed
	> Head back to the farm and plant and water all corn seeds
	> GET THE RECIPE WHEN YOU ENTER THE HOUSE
- Water corn everyday; harvests will be on Spring 12, 16, 20, and 24
- Gift Gina on Spring 3, 6, 10, 13, 24*, 27*; Summer 1*, 4*, 8, 11 (* = dry season, no risk of rain)
- Goddess Dress CS1 will trigger on Spring 4
- After gifting on Summer 11, sleep until Summer 14
- Summer 14:
	> Sell corn at Ronald's
	> Wait outside cafe and enter at noon sharp
	> Head to Villa; enter and gift+talk Gina one last time, then exit/re-enter for cutscene
	> Buy cow and chicken, then buy the milker
	> Head to cafe and enter by 5pm
	> Head straight home (no Moondrop Dew)
	> Back at the farm, put cow out to pasture, and put chicken in front of your house before sleeping
	> Sleep until Fall 24, exit house and skip the second Goddess Dress cutscene
- If 1 rainy day on a gift day, you will have to do Gina's final gift on Summer 15, then do the cutscene day on Summer 17 (same goes if no rainy gift days but you get rain on Summer 14)
- You can in theory tolerate more days lost to rain, but it will eat into your Fall/Winter dry season, as you'll need to sleep more days to guarantee you reach Golden Milk affection level
- Mondays are Fall 25, Winter 2, and Winter 9, so don't try to go to the cafe to finish the ending on those days
- Once you have obtained both golden items, head to cafe on a non-Monday, give both to Katie
- At noon, enter the cafe THREE TIMES (until the "successful cake" cutscene), then head home
- Sleep a week, then exit to complete the ending (if animal death, skip cutscene and sleep once more to finish)
