Karen's 3rd Heart Event can be experienced only in Spring, I believe, and it is impossible to raise her heart level high enough in the first Spring. On 10 Summer, I have experienced three of the Heart Events and the first two Rival Heart Event for all the other eligible girls as well, with the exception of Karen's Blue Heart Event. and the egg she gave me should be an adult chicken tomorrow, I believe. On 10 Summer, I have experienced three of Popuri's Heart Events and two of her Rival Heart Events. In monetary terms, however, it is better to obtain Popuri's egg as early as possible, so perhaps my strategy is the best, for all the heartache of having to give her items she hated repeatedly. It would have been better to have experienced the 2nd Rival heart event BEFORE I triggered the Blue Heart Event. (The 2nd Heart Event cannot be triggered after 1.00 p.m.)Įven so, I could have saved many Toyflowers, and simply raised her heart to the minimum Purple level before her birthday on 3 Summer. Unfortunately, you cannot trigger the 2nd Rival Heart Event on 2 Spring, as you have to experience them in order and the 1st Rival Heart Event cannot be triggered early enough in the day to allow it. (If only one had a Love Bangle in this game!) What I should have done was to have NOT raised her heart level so high in the Spring. (The horrid acts we are forced to perform for the sake of a happy ending!!!)Įven when I named my chick Glitz instead of Popuri, avoiding the extra boost to her heart level in Part II of her Blue Heart Event, I had to force Stones upon her daily until finally, on 10 Summer, I was able to trigger her 2nd Rival Heart Event at the Beach at 11.10 a.m. 'Yuck!' she exclaimed, 'I don't want this.' Well, obviously not, but I wanted to force it upon her for the sake of her romance with Kai. I backtracked to 3 Summer with a heavy heart and gave Popuri a Stone instead of a Pinkcat flower on her birthday. I then concluded that HMBG was like FOMT in this respect: if the girl's heart level is TOO HIGH, you no longer will be able to trigger a rival heart event. I had experienced the 1st Rival heart event outside the Poultry Farm at the start of Summer, but although I suspected the 2nd Rival Heart Event would occur at the Beach, I could not trigger it at any time of the day or any day of the week, including Sunday! This was all well and good for my romance with Popuri but as the days progressed, I found myself unable to experience Popuri's 2nd Rival heart Event with Kai.

on 6 Summer, her heart advanced to full Blue Heart level when she realised I had named the chick after her. When she returned to my farm at 6.00 a.m. When the chick hatched, I named it Popuri. In my first game, I gave her Toyflower on her Birthday for a boost in her heart level. This is Part I of her 3rd or Blue Heart Event in HMBG.ģ Summer is Popuri's Birthday. She almost was at Blue heart level at that point. to deliver her egg to me, asking that I hatch it. On 2 Summer, Popuri came to my house at 6.00 a.m. Unfortunately, the 2nd Rival Heart Event no longer can be experienced if you have reached THAT level. She needs only to be close to the Blue Heart Level to trigger the event. In HMBG, you can experience the 3rd Heart Event when the girl still is at purple heart level. even so, the damage was done, as you will see. In the course of this event, she will give you an Egg and ask you to hatch it.Īctually, I stopped giving her gifts in the middle of Spring, suspecting that her heart level would become far too high to experience the rival heart events in Summer if I continued to raise her heart level.
If you raise Popuri's heart level daily with the gift of a Toyflower in the Spring, you should experience her Blue Heart Event at the beginning of your first Summer. Where Popuri is concerned, however, a player can run into difficulties in the first year. Both Heart and Rival Heart Events have a natural progression. Where the other girls are concerned, this is not a problem. On the other hand, I like to experience as many of the Rival Heart Events as possible as well, especially for the girls I do not intend to marry.
There certainly are tangible rewards for doing this in Harvest Moon Boy & Girl, as the Blue Heart Events for a couple of the girls can increase your income rather substantially in your first Summer. My own strategy always is to raise the heart levels of ALL eligible girls and bachelors as quickly as possible. Whether you are playing Harvest Moon Boy & Girl or Friends of Mineral Town, you will have a dilemma in your first year where Popuri is concerned.
