Taking a Rest

Spending Time at Your Hideaways / Hunting / Fishing / Setting Box Traps

There are times when you need to take a break from your Missions and Requests and just spend some time enjoying your pastimes with officers you are friends with.

Spending Time at Your Hideaways

There are Hideaways in each region. You can purchase Hideaways by speaking with merchants that stand before them.

Hideaway Icon

Hideaway Menu

At Hideaways, press the corresponding button to display the Hideaway Menu.
Note that you won't be able to select some options, but they will become available after meeting certain conditions, such as placing the required furniture.

Changing Costumes

To change costumes, select "Change Costume" from the Hideaway Menu.
When you change costumes, such costumes will remain as you have set them as the story progresses. Select "Restore Defaults" to revert to the setting in which costumes change according to the story.
If you select "Yes," your costume will be changed at certain points in the story.
If you select "No," your costume will remain the same as the story progresses.

Arranging Furniture ▶▶▶▶▶
: Remove Furniture, : Save/Load Furniture Arrangement

By purchasing furniture from Trading Posts and placing it in your Hideaways, various functions become available, such as being able to Craft items or Cook.
Note that placing each piece of furniture costs a certain amount of points, so try to make sure your furniture doesn't exceed the amount of total points you have available.
The furniture you acquire can be placed at any of your Hideaways.

Interacting with Officers

Sometimes officers with whom you are acquainted with will visit you at your Hideaways. By spending time alone with another officer, you can strengthen your bond with them.
In addition, by placing certain types of furniture, you'll be able to write letters to officers as well as receive presents from them, strengthening your bond with them even further.

Hunting

Wild animals habitat the hills and fields. By hunting such animals, you can obtain pelts, antlers, meat, and more.
Also, you will receive "Hunting Points" according to your hunting skill. If you speak with a Dilettante at a City after hunting, you will receive rewards according to your best Hunting score.
You can receive a large amount of Hunting Points by defeating high-level animals in as few moves as possible.
Your best hunting score is displayed in the upper right of the "Belongings" menu on the pause screen.

Using the Bow Effectively

Bow Attacks are particularly effective against animals. Try to keep the following points in mind when hunting them.

Aim for their vitals.

You can deliver a powerful attack by shooting your target in the neck.

Shoot before you are noticed.

You can deliver a powerful attack by shooting your target before you've been noticed.
Surprise your target by Squatting down and approaching them from behind.

Carefully aim for your target.

When the crosshairs are aligned with an enemy, the crosshairs will turn red.
Squatting makes aiming easier, and you can even move while you are in shooting mode by using the left stick.

Use powerful arrows.

Different types of arrows have different amounts of power. Try to save your strongest arrows for powerful enemies.
Arrows can be purchased from Shops. In addition, enemy officers will sometimes drop arrows when you defeat them.

Fishing

If you purchase bait from Shops, you can enjoy fishing when you are near a body of water.
Equip bait from "Officer Info" - "Equipment" - "Items" on the pause screen. Then, use the bait with the directional pad when you are near the water to start fishing. If you repeatedly press the button with good timing, you might be able to catch a lunker. Also, depending on the fishing spot and type of bait you use, what you can actually catch will change.
In addition to fish, you might catch unexpected treasure.

Setting Box Traps

Try purchasing Box Traps at Shops and setting them.
After setting a Box Trap, if you check it after a certain amount of time has elapsed, you can obtain items, among other things.
You can check the locations at which you've placed Box Traps from the Mini-Map, or by zooming in the Map on the pause screen. If you have caught something, the icon will become orange.
