To get a monster to warm up to you, try feeding it food it might like, or equipping your brush to help groom it. A monster you befriend will walk alongside you on your adventures, and some may even let you ride them!

Monsters you befriend will live in a monster barn, which you can build on your farm after completing the Privera Forest dungeon. Monster barns give you a space to manage your herd, check in on your monsters, and assign them tasks.

Once you've grown closer with your monster companions, you can ask them to help out around the farm by watering plants, harvesting crops, or mowing down grass. You can also pay to have monsters sow seeds.

Magic seeds are mysterious plants that grow and take effect as soon as they're planted. They can be purchased from Fantastic Flowers. Once they run out of HP or are put back in your bag, they revert to a seed and won't be usable until the following day.

Magic seeds have a variety of different uses, from attacking enemy monsters to serving as a shield. Use them accordingly to get the upper hand in battle!

If your friendship level with a resident is high enough, you'll be able to invite them along on your adventures! (With a few exceptions.) Look for the "Invite" prompt when talking to someone to add them to your party, letting you fight alongside them. If a party member runs out of HP, moving to another area will revive them with a small amount of health.
