The world of Anthos is extensive, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. You can collect resources, and harvest wisp fruit from the golden power wisps. Often times there are islands with a boulder, tree, or a golden wisp waiting for you. Some of these wisps though, seem unreachable.
Power wisps are important since the harvest wisp fruits they give you can be used to increase your inventory space, or stamina hearts.Harvest Moon: The Winds Of Anthoswill test your stamina reserves. To progress, you’ll want to find out how to get across the water for the wisps.
How To Get Across The Water
To progress through the story of Anthos, you’re going to need plenty ofharvest wisp fruits. Unfortunately, many of those power wisps seem to beisolated on islands.
While there is a way to get to those power wisps, the secret is patience. To reach some of the power wisps on islands, you’ll need towait for thecold winds during Winter.
During particularly bad weather in Winter,patches of the water will freezeover,allowing you to walk acrossandcollect more harvest wisp fruits.
Some locations won’t be frozen over, but you’ll need tocheck at different seasons or timesof dayfor a shallow area that looks as if there’s a sandbarin the water.
If you catch it at the right time,you can walk acrossthe sandbarfor some island locations.
Keep Track Of Power Wisp Locations
Whileyou will find plenty of wispsin accessible places at first,it’s highly unlikely that you’ll remember every power wisp locationyou’ve encountered. There are quite a few islands to explore, each with the potential to house a power wisp.
You can simplytake a screenshotif you think it’s enough to remember the location, or you canuse the in-game map pin feature. The map pin feature is helpful, but there is only one color.
You can use the in-game map pin feature to track anything important you want to find again later, butyou won’t have a way to categorize the pins. It will, of course,still reduce the amount of timeit would take otherwiseto find the islandsand power wisps all over again.
