In story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, things may be normal at first, but there are some mysterious things that can occur as well. At the North of Olive Town, there’s a Shrine that you can view. There’s a special character that you’re able to meet there, and eventually you’ll be able to unlock different capabilities of the shrine.
In this guide, we’ll be talking about the Spirit who lives near the spring, as well as the Shrine by the tree. There are some features of the Spirit that you might need in the future, so let’s check how to unlock them.
The Spirit of the Spring is a character that you’re able to meet based on how much Earth Sprites that you have uncovered. Whenever you do your daily farm activities such as chopping Trees, clearing grass, etc., you may notice small creatures that will run away. These are Earth Sprites, and you must uncover a certain number of them.
Once you have uncovered your first 30 Sprites, you’ll be able to see the Spirit for the first time. You will then have to unlock the next events in order to complete the spirit’s story. Here is the list of events available as well as the requirements.
