Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma: Among its standout features, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma offers a charming romance mechanic that encourages players to bond with various NPCs.
This system remains engaging well beyond the game’s core campaign, adding long-term emotional investment.
In Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Ulalaka shines as a compassionate and driven character who constantly supports the town’s recovery. She’s an excellent romance candidate for players looking for emotional depth. This guide will explain how to build your relationship with Ulalaka, give her favorite gifts, and eventually propose.
Rune Factory’s Ulalaka: A Closer Look at Azuma’s Spiritual Healer
In Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Ulalaka differs from other romance options by being a seasonal spirit, not a town resident. Players first meet her in a dream after the “Finding the Weird Animal” quest, where she requests they take over her role as Azuma’s guardian.
She also provides a sacred drum used to perform dances that bring harmony to the land. This pivotal moment actually occurs before encounters with other characters like Hina and Mauro.
Want to romance Ulalaka? Start by knocking out her relationship quests and boosting that bond meter to max. After that, dating and marriage options will unlock. You’ll usually find her either at her shrine, taking in the Spring Village view, or grabbing a bite at Iroha’s Teahouse.
How to Deepen Your Connection with Ulalaka in Guardians of Azuma
Raising your bond with Ulalaka is all about attention and consistency. Talk to her daily, give meaningful gifts, celebrate her birthday, and take on her requests. Doing all of this will raise her bond level—once you hit level 10, you can ask for her hand in marriage.
- Start increasing your bond with Ulalaka right after meeting her in the village by selecting the “Let’s Chat” option regularly. You can also improve your Village Level, which positively affects your relationship with her since she is deeply connected to the town’s well-being.
- Once you hit bond level 1 and complete the “Checking on Takumi” quest, Ulalaka can officially join your party during battles. This milestone also grants access to her Personal Requests, which provide a major boost to your relationship.
- Woolby will inform you when Ulalaka’s birthday is approaching, or you can check the village calendar in advance. On her special day, use the “Celebrate Birthday” chat option to earn a significant relationship increase.
- Finishing the Takumi quest unlocks the “Let’s Hang Out” feature, where you can engage in deeper conversations and give Ulalaka gifts once per day. To enable gifting, make sure you’ve activated the People Person skill in your Social Activities tree.
- At level 3, Ulalaka’s Bonding Quests will become available automatically. These quests are key to deepening your connection and work differently than other characters—there’s no need to visit other towns to unlock them.
- When you reach bond level 4, you’ll unlock the option to share meals at various locations, available under “Let’s Hang Out” once you’ve activated the Sweet Talker skill. At bond level 6, you can cook meals together at places like Iroha’s Teahouse—just choose a recipe and invite Ulalaka with the F button.
