The answer is: If you kill a mummy while wearing the napalm ring, they will collapse in a heap but will explode out around them. A mummy's own explosion can't kill itself when it's down, but if you kill a bunch of mummies all at once, a bunch of their explosions will take each other out.

Hey, thanks for that! That was super nice of you. :) I think I'll keep Crusader, in that case. I just tear through mummies and their ilk like nobody's business with that, and while it's annoying not being able to kill the armored bugs, they're not much of a threat.

Wow Clint is just like, the worst, isn't he? What a prick.

Also: I'm beginning to think Prismatic Jelly is a lie created solely to taunt me. Every time I take that wizard quest to find it, I can't find it - I've tried going through the 95/105/115/0/repeat cycle, as well as clearing from 105 floor by floor, every day for the week both times I picked it up, and both times I couldn't find the drat thing.

Also make sure you don't make my mistake : The Jelly can only spawn while the quest is active, as in you've accepted it from the board and it's in your journal/quest log. Just going "I'll hunt it but if I don't find it I'll do the other quest this week" will not work (for almost all the special orders board actually.)

But yeah, it's weird and RNG-y. Maybe the wiki has good tips.

No prob! And Crusader is AWESOME for what it's worth. Bug Killer was also nice but Crusader was my favorite of the weapon enchantments that I used.

THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER ISLAND??? oh god there's even more dungeons and crops and people to befriend how does this game keep getting bigger?

I mean I'm loving it but I thought that hitting 100 skull level, and maxing out the remainder of my friendship points and doing the community upgrade for Pam and Penny + buying off those wizarding buildings was end-game but I'M AT MIDGAME? I have so many hours into this already!?

I feel your pain on that. Done that quest several times and always taken me in game days to find it. Even with the hint that you can go to the elevator go to floor 5 check for slimes then go to floor 0 and repeat from the elevator to keep rerolling to see if it'll spawn.

The Prismatic Jelly CAN spawn on any floor sliimes can spawn on which is most of them. Floor 5 just happens to be a smaller floor with weak enemies to defeat to check the rest.

All I need to do for true perfection right now is the golden clock. Right now I have a basement full of stardew wine fermenting and have been growing berries or whatever. Is there a faster way to get to 10m?

Whenever I need to find the Prismatic Jelly, I take it as an excuse to stock up on coal too. I usually find it without too much bother while I'm killing Soot Sprites, and I always need more coal.

In my beach farm, it's winter 2, I have full hearts with everyone, I have only 2 fish left to catch, and I just finished the last monster slaying goal. We're doing it! We're making it happen! Just need to make a bunch of money for the last Obelisks and the Golden Clock.

Ginger Island supposedly has 878 plantable spaces. A big shed fits 129 kegs (slightly more for some input methods), meaning 6 sheds full of kegs can handle almost the full output of the island. So, build 6 big sheds and fill them with kegs. Plant 129x6 ancient fruits on Ginger Island. Harvest them once a week, and bring them to your sheds on the farm. Remove any wine that finished fermenting there, place a new fruit in the kegs, and continue on your merry way for the next six days. That’s 6 x 129 x (550 x 3) = 1.3 million gold per week, though I have no clue if you will be able to finish the six sheds before earning the 10 million directly. If you don’t have 774 oak resins handy, you can use preserves jars instead for slightly less profit per fruit.

(This is my current plan. Haven’t put it to practice yet, since I am still bootstrapping my way through a strawberry/preserve pair of sheds, which give 52000 gold every four days. That money goes right back into Robin’s/Clint’s greedy pockets for the raw materials I need for sheds and kegs. :argh:)

Do the Sheds fit more kegs than barns now?

Probably not, but the sheds are nice and rectangular, so things look orderly when I go in there.

Once upgraded, yes: a big shed houses 1 more than a deluxe barn, and takes up less squares on the farm itself, to boot (7x3 vs 7x4)

Preserves Jars don't give quite as much but they're faster, as well as just selling the fruit itself if you have a shitload.

Preserves are good for gift fodder, at least way back when I last played. Pretty sure anyone who would dislike a particular fruit wont mind getting preserves of that fruit.

E: I never leave my house without at least 20 jars of preserves to throw at my neighbors

Preserves are such an expensive gift. Especially when crab pot sashimi exists.

I can't imagine having enough preserve jars to give out 2 gifts to everyone every week before late game. That's so much coal.

I'd imagine you ate all your parsnips and passed out in the mines. Linus found you face down in the mud getting chewed on by Slimes. When you boot up the game again, you'll find yourself dirt poor with your pockets stuffed with rocks and slime with no memory of what happened.

George likes leeks? WELL GUESS WHAT BUCKO, HERE'S SOME PREMIUM poo poo.
SAM'S SWEET SUCCULENT CACTUS FRUIT?! PICKED RIGHT OUT OF THE SAND!
Haley here's a coconut.
LEAH MY DEAR, TRUFFLES ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE A GIFT BUT I GOT LIKE 50 PIGS SO HERE'S YOUR DAILY SHROOM.
KROBUS YOU ALLURRING FORMLESS VOID, HERE'S YOUR PEOPLE'S MOST REVERED ITEM, A HORSERADISH.
LINUS I'D GIVE YOU CACTI AND COCONUTS BUT YOU'RE COOL SO I ALREADY GOT YOU TO TEN HEARTS.
PAM I'm gonna stop shouting I know you got a hangover. Here's a cactus.
Vincent I will give you one singular ground grape. Enjoy kid.
And then finally Rasmodius, here's some purple mushrooms to trip on.

And if you went with the fruit bat cave then all that fruit counts as forage and gets picked up at Iridium level. This opens up possibilities with Elliot, Gus and Robin assuming you win the bat roullete.

I only ever married her once. She's not a terrible character at all and learns some humility, but her initial reactions are so negative that she's usually never above a couple of random hearts in most of my playthoughs.

I make her dancing with her at the first flower dance my goal and it sort of snowballs from there. Plus she is much more pleasant with high hearts, so throwing forage at her is a long term investment IMO.

As a side note, does anyone know when the 64 bit version of the game will release from beta?

but Emily has weird lucid dreams about me and she doesn't get mad when i give her rocks from the cave

i can't believe i used to think the characters in this game were superficial

i can't believe i've owned this game for 6 years and never actually played it despite having grown up on Harvest Moon

on the other hand, the fact that i waited so long means i get to play with the ridiculous amount of stuff that's been added in

any tips for non-obvious stuff? i'm just taking it easy. i just bought a Coop!

is there any way to catch the rabbits and frogs and stuff?
