Harvest Moon: Back to Nature Guides and Walkthroughs

 

Mary's Birthday: Winter 20th or 25th
Easy Affection:

Mary is the librarian in Mineral Town and she is the shy and nerdy type of girl who loves to read. Unlike many of the other girls you can court in the game Mary only recently moved to Mineral Town and she has no relatives in town; making her a bit of an outcast like your character.

Like Elli, Mary's affection is fairly easy to raise by collecting flowers and other wild items growing in the Forest and Mountains and bringing them to her. This is especially true during the Fall season where the majority of items you find fall into her 'loves' category. If you decide to court Mary, your rival will be Gray; the grandson of Saibara.

 

Heart Levels

Below are all of the different Heart Levels you'll go through in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Each time you increase your Heart Level with a girl you'll be able to witness a unique event between you and her if you show up at the right place and at the right time. These events usually give you some text options when they occur, answering right will increase your Affection with her, answering wrong will lower it. Try telling the girl what she wants to hear.

Black (0 - 4999 Affection)
Purple (5000 - 19999 Affection)
Blue (20000 - 29999 Affection)
Green (30000 - 39999 Affection)
Yellow (40000 - 49999 Affection)
Orange (50000 - 59999 Affection)
Red (60000 - 65535 Affection)

 

Tips for courting your Girl

- Talk to the girls at Festivals during the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter for a lot of +Affection! This works for regular villagers too!

- You can give a girl multiple gifts each day to raise her heart level rapidly.

- You can wrap gifts at the Supermarket and give them to Girls for bonus Affection points.

- Marry the girl you want before year 3 otherwise your Rival can steal her away from you! You also have to watch all the Rival heart events or they won't be able to marry too.

- Giving a girl a present on their birthday will give you a huge +Affection boost!
