How to Get a Fish Fossil in "Harvest Moon Island of Happiness"
- 1). Go to Taro's shipping center and give him a gift every day. Gifts that Taro likes include virtually all vegetables, wild grasses and well-cooked meals. Blend a Failed Dish, Hungerizer XL and Bodigizer Xl to create a special gift called Eli Leaves. Taro loves this gift.
- 2). Continue giving gifts until Taro's Friendship Points reach 2,000. The next day after this occurs, Taro comes to your home and gives you the Fishing Pole.
- 3). Wait until fall and head towards the dock or beach. The Fish Fossil is only found in the ocean.
- 4). Face the ocean and tap the Fishing Pole icon in the tool slot area. Tap the icon again as soon as an exclamation mark shows up over your character's head. You will pull up a random fish or item. Continue fishing until a Fish Fossil is pulled from the water.
