Players spend their days working hard on a farm in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Earning money to expand and grow their facilities is one of the main features, but it takes time and effort. Players have to do this while working with limited stamina. However, the Alarm Clock allows them to control their sleep schedule.
Whenever players start their mornings in A Wonderful Life, having a routine is a good idea. The Alarm Clock allows players to maintain their Energy and maximize their daylight hours. So, here's how to get the Alarm Clock in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.
How To Get the Alarm Clock in A Wonderful Life Remake
While most items can be purchased from Van, the traveling salesman, players must get the Alarm Clock another way. The Alarm Clock becomes available in Year Two whenever Garrett and his family move into town. Garrett will post a request on the Bulletin Board asking for Pickled Veggies to trade for the Alarm Clock.
Pickled Veggies are a salad that players can make using a Caroturn, Sweeturn, Turnmato, or Waturnip. The recipe consists of unique plants called Hybrid Crops. Players can only get Hybrid Crops if they've unlocked Vinnie in Spring of Year Two, the giant talking plant that Takakura finds.
Vinnie will make Hybrid Crops when players reach a high enough friendship level with him. Take two crops and feed them to Vinnie when he asks to mix crops. This will result in a Hybrid Crop seed that will grow in a mixture of the two seasons. The below mixtures could be used for the crops to make Pickled Veggies:
- Waturnip - Watermelon + Turnip
- Turnmato - Turnip + Tomato
- Caroturn - Carrot + Turnip
- Sweeturn - Sweet Potato + Turnip
Once two of the allowed Hybrid Crops are harvested, players can cook them into Pickled Veggies using a stove, sink, or pot inside their kitchen. With the meal in hand, the final step is to find Garrett and give him the veggies.
Garrett works in the city early in the morning and returns to Forgotten Valley at 9:00 PM. He stays inside the townhomes across from the cafe. Players can also find him on their map whenever he is in town.
To give him the Pickled Veggies, talk to him and say it is about his request. After handing over the gift, he will offer to install his old alarm clock inside the player's farm home. If they refuse, there will not be another opportunity to get the Alarm Clock.
How to Use the Alarm Clock
The Alarm Clock comes in handy for a couple of reasons. Players can wake up early to get a head start on their chores. If they get up by 5:00 AM, they may see Takakura before he goes into town.
Another reason to get the Alarm Clock is to take naps daily to restore stamina. It is the only method to refill stamina that doesn't cost players money every time. They can set the alarm time by interacting with the clock next to their bed or in the living room. The left and right bumpers will move the alarm hand to the desired time.
