Sure! Here’s a rewritten version in American English:
When you dive into Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, your mission is to travel across different villages and revive their gods. While embarking on your quest to save the world, you’ll encounter a variety of characters, each with unique traits. By interacting with these characters daily, you can strengthen your relationships with them.
One such character is Pilika, who becomes available later in the game. Unlike others in the romanceable lineup, she tends to be reserved and takes a while to trust you.
Pilika: Overview and Locations
You’ll first meet Pilika in the Winter Village, the fourth village you explore. To reach this area, you need to resolve issues in the Spring, Summer, and Autumn Villages and assist Ulalaka, Matsuri, and Kurama in reviving their homes.
The Winter Village offers a stark contrast to the previous three, blanketed in snow. Upon arrival, Pilika is the first character you encounter, greeting you with her bow. As you progress and resolve the village’s main challenges, she will gradually learn to trust you.
Though you meet Pilika early on in the Winter Village storyline, you can only begin to build your relationship with her after finishing the village’s main story arc. This usually occurs after a conversation with Zaza, where you unlock the Chemist building.
Once you start deepening your bond with Pilika, you can find her home just to the right of the bottom teleport statue in the village. On the map, you’ll see two white houses; Pilika’s is the one furthest away. She typically steps outside every morning.
If you’re searching for her during the day, you can often find her in the Winter Village, but she may also visit other locations. You can check her whereabouts using her icon on the bottom-right corner of a village map.
Best Gifts and Hangouts for Pilika
Building bonds with characters is a central aspect of Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma. To strengthen your relationship with Pilika, you can talk to her daily, use your Plum Branch nearby, complete her quests, take her on adventures, or simply spend time together.
Among these activities, spending time with her yields the highest bond points. You can either give her a gift or trigger a specific event. Pilika has particular preferences for gifts, which will maximize your bond gain. Here are some gifts that can provide significant bond increases:
Best Gifts for Pilika
| Type | Name | How To Get |
|---|---|---|
| Loves | Nature’s Bounty | Cook Veggie Salad with Pilika at level six bond. |
| Honey Toast | Unlock through the Sage of Sweets quest; requires ingredients. | |
| Honey Castella Cake | Earn after progressing in the game; better options may exist. | |
| Honey Flan | From the Sage of Sweets quest; requires easy-to-acquire ingredients. | |
| Golden Salmon Meuniere | Found via a Frog Statue; rare fish required. | |
| Likes | Grilled Salmon | Fish for Salmon easily in the game. |
| Salmon Sashimi | Acquired from Frog Statues; decent daily gift. | |
| Salmon Onigiri | Same as above; good for daily gifting. | |
| Honey (best) | Farm by defeating bee enemies or taming bees. | |
| Meat Skewers | Easy to find, but there are better alternatives. | |
| Golden Salmon | Rare but offers the same bond value as other options. |
Ideal Hangouts for Pilika
Pilika has a limited variety of hangout options. Avoid triggering “Muse about monsters” as it may decrease your bond. Instead, opt for high-value activities like "Invite out to the snowfield," "Take a nap together," and "Invite out to the mountains."
Pilika in Combat
Although Pilika’s personality differs from other characters, she shares combat abilities typical of attacker-type characters. You can take her along in the open world once you reach bond level one, and her abilities improve with each level.
Here’s a breakdown of what she can do at bond level ten:
| Bond Level | Effect Unlocked |
|---|---|
| 1 | Increases Pilika’s Crit damage. |
| 2 | Increases Pilika’s ATK. |
| 3 | Unlocks the Hunter’s Aim skill for powerful bow attacks. |
| 4 | Unlocks the Animal Repellent skill for high damage to animals. |
| 5 | Unlocks Painbringer Stance for a 40% Crit damage boost. |
| 6 | Unlocks the Wind Arrow skill. |
| 7 | Unlocks Magic Negator, reducing the target’s M.ATK by 15%. |
| 8 | Unlocks Constraining Shot, similar to Hunter’s Aim. |
| 9 | Unlocks Death from Above skill. |
| 10 | Further increases Pilika’s ATK. |
Consider bringing Pilika along if you’re farming against animal-type enemies, as she can be a formidable ally. She is also useful against magic-damage bosses, helping to mitigate the damage you take.
Pilika’s Marriage Guide
Once you reach bond level ten with Pilika, you can propose to her. Firstly, complete all her quests and dates until bond level nine, ensuring your intimacy is at its peak—except for one final icon you obtain post-marriage.
To propose, grow a Plum Branch and cook Divine Spirits at a cooking pot. This allows you to take her to the Fateweaver Shrine. Once you propose, you can marry her the next day and have a child within 15 days. If you decline her offer for a child five days post-marriage, she’ll ask again in another five days.
