How to Marry Harvest Goddess in Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley
Unlike other Harvest Moon games, Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley (HoLV) actually allows you to marry the Harvest Goddess (HG).
But you only get one chance to do it, and the requirements are strict. Missing a step can lock you out forever, so you need to prepare carefully.
Turning the Harvest Goddess into a human (Marina) and proposing to her is also very different compared to other marriage candidates. Here’s the full guide:
Requirements for Harvest Goddess to Become a Human (Marina)
Before marriage, remember you must also upgrade your house and have an extra bed.
1. Harvest Goddess’s Heart Must Be at 6 (Red)
To raise her affection quickly:
- Talk to her during the day.
- Give her vegetables between 4 PM – 8 PM.
- Do not give gifts before 10 AM or after 9 PM.
2. Complete “The Tale of Harvest Goddess Temple” Event
This event requires raising friendship points with the Harvest Goddess, Rudolph, and Chester.
It’s not too hard, but check their schedules or use a walkthrough to avoid missing cutscenes.
3. No Other Girl Can Have Higher FP than the Harvest Goddess
This is where most players fail. The trickiest rival is Alice, because her affection depends heavily on your dialogue choices.
Key points with Alice:
- Her heart caps at 3 until Summer, Year 2.
- At the church, answer “I Came To Talk” to raise her heart to 4.
- On Fall 5, when she visits, answer “Of Course” so her heart goes to 5 and she stays in town.
- Never give Alice gifts once she moves to the church.
Follow this path, and Alice won’t surpass the Harvest Goddess’s affection level.
After meeting all 3 requirements, the Harvest Sprites will visit you at the end of Year 2 and invite you to Goddess Spring, where the Harvest Goddess transforms into Marina.
How to Propose and Marry the Harvest Goddess
To propose, you’ll need the Blue Feather, which is sold at Louis’s Shop starting in Spring, Year 3. Chester will also visit your house on Spring 17 and suggest that you should marry.
Unlike other bachelorettes, you cannot hand the Blue Feather to her directly. Instead:
- Equip the Blue Feather (Hold R → Tools → Equip).
- Go to Goddess Spring and throw an item into the pond.
- The Harvest Goddess will appear, and you’ll automatically give her the feather.
The wedding will be held one week after your proposal.
