Prologue walkthrough: from the dream to your first barn

Do the farm lesson before following your friend

After waking up, interact with the Soilbot and inspect the field list. Follow the tool prompts to till, plant, water and fertilize the turnips. Set the objective for Carol or Robert to mark your childhood friend’s position. Speak to them to begin the trip for Kat’s birthday ingredients.

Collect strawberries and return to town

1. Follow your friend toward Wolf Hill and collect the mushrooms you pass.
2. At the wolves tutorial, sneak past the animals to advance to the next scene. Use your platform’s displayed input.
3. Collect the wild strawberries when prompted.
4. Use the wooden jump-off posts marked with red fabric on the return route, follow your friend into town and go to bed.

Get the DocPad and bring Dandy

After watering the next day, go to Village Hall for Doug’s farming items and the DocPad. Carry the High-Quality Fabric to your friend at the Animal Center. Befriend Dandy, then interact with him so he follows you. A conversation alone is not the same as having him tag along.

Head toward the marked location southwest of town. The bridge encounter demonstrates Dandy’s calming skill. Continue the waypoint route for the Harvest Goddess and the map-revealing statue sequence, then follow the Power Statue and Happilia explanations.

Finish the animal-care lesson

The next lesson gives you a Pitchfork for barn waste and the other animal-care tools. Clean the barn as prompted; reaching the barn without completing the lesson is not the end of the sequence. Once the lesson finishes, continue into Bloomfield’s first Guardian objective.
