Post-Game
I assumed beating the game was all that was required to get married. However, you must separate yourself from Sonja
first. In the spoiler tag is a summary of what you need to do in post-game.
Speak to Elena about Ymir, she will tell you she might be able to restore him with 15 shards of Ymir and asks you
to return to her when you have them. You get these by talking to your fellow islanders. There are MORE than 15,
but having more doesn't seem to do much. Just remember who you talk to and you shouldn't have any trouble.
Return the shards to Elena and Ymir will be back the next day.
You will notice there are some different looking quests on the board. Most of them are quite nice because they
allow you to get the final few islands you might need for the Master Salvager Trophy. If by chance you have
already happened upon the islands in the quest, just talk to the NPC right after getting the quest, and easily
complete it.
After some random quests from the 3 sisters, talk to Pandora. She will give you a book to give to Lily. If you lose
the book, talk to Joe. Lily will tell you it is possible to separate you from Sonja with a Friendship Compass. Ask
Bacchus about the friendship compass and he will tell you to ask Joe. Joe tells you he will get it eventually (the
next day), so wait one day and talk to Joe again. Once you have the compass talk to Lily again. Now, head to the
Dragon Shrine. You can check the "progress" of the compass here. There are 12 lights on the compass. All the "lit
up" lights really are the number of people you have up to friendship level 6. Kelsey and Quinn DO NOT count. I
have no idea why. After getting 12 people to friendship level 6, check it at the Shrine for a "hey, let's tell Lily
event". Return to Lily. Sonja will now be separated, congrats. You have a choice of whether or not you want your
power to go to Sonja or Aden. YOUR CHOICE CANNOT BE UNDONE, so chose carefully. You are really just
picking the character you want to play as (I'm assuming since I picked the male role).
After separation, the Dragon at the Shrine will ask you to seal the Wind Shrine.
It is easiest to get married to Aden or Sonja, because they start out at a maxed out 8 friendship level. You can
simply talk to them over the course of a few days to get that to 9. Getting them to 10 takes as little as 3 days, since
they are completely obsessed with you.
The Marriage quest is detailed in Satoshi42's guide (although, I want to clarify that you give the engagement ring
as you would a gift to a NPC after the 2nd date. It doesn't automatically happen or anything)
After you have your baby, you will get a free stuffed Wooly from Gerard (this is a story quest for some reason)

Trophies 101 (This trophy is potentially missable) Listen to Maerwen's explanation about trophies.
After getting Maerwen's relationship up to 2, a random conversation with her may result in her asking if you know
about trophies, reply no, listen to her and the trophy will pop. Some say you CANNOT get this trophy if you say "yes" to her, but
others claim you can still get it to pop up in conversation after the fact. Also, the relationship does NOT have to be 2 exactly, 2 or
above is fine. (Note: I got it at 3)
Golem Repairman Find out what's wrong with the Plant Golem and get him working again.
After finding the Grimoire Ymir will break. Talk to Elena and she will tell you there is an evil inside of him. Go inside
and destroy the mini-boss
Water Temple Cleared Lift the stone curse from the Water Temple. (See Earth Temple Cleared)
Fire Temple Cleared Lift the stone curse from the Fire Temple. (See Earth Temple Cleared)
Earth Temple Cleared Lift the stone curse from the Earth Temple.
The dragon will tell you to restore the temples. You do this by talking to Lily, Odette, and Violet respectively, and
asking them to come with you to seal the shrine(s). This happens right before fighting the legendary golem
Masked Man Revealed See the true face of the man in the mask.
This really wasn't a surprise to me, but anyway, the masked man is the Final Boss of Rune Factory. He isn't hard and
you get two free deaths when fighting him (due to the power of friendship??????). If you are having trouble with this fight, grab
some enemy companions to distract him, and craft yourself a Legendary Staff. Use its "powerful magic" component for complete
ownage.
From Sarasaland: "In the final boss fight, you get as many lives as you have marriage candidates at FP6. And Sonja,
plus the Goblin Pirate Captain. So if you have 10 people (I'm positive they have to be marriage candidates, though I could be
wrong) at FP6, they'll all lend you their strength when you lose your HP, and the other two so you'd have 12 lives. Very useful."
For Master Salvager you can Leave the area sleep a day and then lift the same island this counts to the 30. For Giant
Destroyer, when you find one and defeat it, leave the Golem there. Sleep the night then came back, move a little and another
Giant Monster will show.
