If you've played other games like or soon after you start playing this one, you'll quickly realize that increasing your bond with various villagers is at the core of this game. Some of these villagers are☂ spec🦩ial and they can even become dating candidates for the main character.
15 Farming Games That Aren't Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is an exceptional farming game but it's not the only on🐓e around. He𒆙re's a look at others that are a blast to play.
These candidates are highlighted with a red bar in the profiles menu, and once you've bonded enough with them,⛄ you can even marry them and have children. However, the process t𝐆o do both of these can be quite long, and it's important to know what you're doing.
How To Marry Your Favorite Villager
Before you start thinking about your marriage with the villagers like Ulalaka or Murasame, who unlock early in the story, it's important to remember that there will be many characters unlocking as you progress to the further regions. These characters will get added to the profile section wh🍌en you first meet them, but you can only raise your bond with them after a certain part of the main story💦.
If you've unlocked all the potential bachelors and bachelorettes and have the perfect candidate in mind, you can start working towards the marriage process. There are mainly two ste🐓ps that you need for this:
- Reach bond level ten with the desired candidate. This can be done by talking to them and hanging out with them every day, and you get much more progress on these if you give them something they like or take part in an activity they prefer.
- After that, you also have to finish all their bond quests. The bond quests start at level three and go until level nine. However, after the level six bond quest, you'll have to commit to dating them to continue the rest. Though you can date multiple characters at the same time in Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma.
Once you have both of the above sorted out for your favorite candidate, you can head over to their profile to see all nine stars lit up. When this happens, you can progress to the next step of the marriage where you first have to plant a plum sapling in the courtyard behind your shrine and wait a few days for it to give you a branch.
After getting the branch, you can head over to the cooking pot and make yourself the Divine Spirits using one Rice and one Wisteria. You can find the latter near the Vast Plateau teleport statue in the Spring Village outskirts by chopping the Wisteria tree. Once you have both the items, you can talk t♋o your desired villager and invite them to the Fateweaver Shrine.
You can only invite them on the day when you don't have a date planned with any other candidate.
Once you do that, they'll join you at the shrine and trigger a small cutscene. After that, the actual wedding cutscene will trigger when you head to bed for the day. This will show the ceremony before you head to different villages and reveal the news to everyone. Once you get married to a villager, all your other commitments wil🦩l get removed and you'll be friends with every other villager.
On the other hand, your partner will start sleeping with you in the shrine. They will also give you a gift each morning when you talk to them.
How To Have A Kid
After you've married one of the villagers in Azuma, the next step is naturally having a kid with them. Five days after your marriage, your partner will ask for a chat as soon as you wake up where they will bring up the topic of having a kid. Here, you'll get an option to go through with this or reject t♏heir proposal for the time being.
If you reject them, they'll ask the same question again after another five days. However, if you accept, you'll be taken back to the Fateweaver Shrine where you'll be given a Turnip. Plant this turnip beside the plum tree in your shrine's c𝔍ourtyard and it'll grow for the next ten days before triggeri💮ng another cutscene where you'll cut open the Turnip to get your baby.
When you first go to the Fateweaver Shrine for the child, you'll get an option to choose if it should be a male or female, but you can also say that it doesn't𓆉 matter to you.
There will be a small cutscene after your kid arrives where you'll show them to everyone. After that, your kid will grow up and become around the same age as Suzu, and they'll also get added as a new bondable character in your profile menu with their own likes and dislikes. A few days after the child arrives, you'll🐬 also get to continue the story of Azuma and witness the true ending.
This will let you get the final few Frog Statues while also taking you through a lot of new dungeons, which will unlock the final few teleport points in the other section.
Can You Marry Multiple Candidates?
Since you can date multiple people at the same time in Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, you might want to do the same for marriage. The good news is that you can, but it works a little differently and can't exactly be called a divorce. Around ten da🔯ys after your marriage, Woolby will talk to you about a new presence at the Fateweaver Shrine at the start of the day.
Once that happens, you can get to the shrine and head to the little bit sticking out on the right side of the map. You'll find the Rewoven Fates mechanic here. You can use this to take yourself to an alter♍nate timeline where your marriage with the in🍬itial candidate won't be there, but a few quests will also go back in time:
- Your bond quests with every character including the one you married go back to the bond six quest, so you have to date the candidates again. However, your bond level is saved.
- If you have a kid, they'll not be present in the village for the new fate that you start from here.
If you finished the true ending of the story, you can still access all the areas from it even after changing your fate world. You can also move back to your original fate world where you married the first candidate at any point to continue from where you left off. However, to start another marriage, you'll have to propಌerly date your next desired candidates.
After doing their quest on bonds seven, eight, and nine, you can then ask them out just like you did the first time. You can have your full life with this second candidate here including kids, and you can alꦆso try selecting other options while getting ready for a kid in the Fateweaver Shrine. This way, you can marryꦿ as many characters as you want in Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma.
