Complete guide to the Animal Festival in Fields of Mistria
The Animal Festival is the new annual event added to Fields of Mistria as part of the second major update. It’s a great opportunity to show off your animals and get your hands on some unique items that aren’t available anywhere else. If you’ve been working hard to rear your animals and get some of the higher-tier color variations, then this is the perfect chance for you to put those animals to work earning you rewards for your efforts. However, even if you don’t have rare animals to enter into the competitions, you can still get some unique items that are worth investment. Here’s everything you need to know about the Animal Festival in Fields of Mistria. When is the Animal Festival? Image by Destructoid On Winter 7, Adeline will visit you at the farm in a cutscene that plays as soon as you leave the farmhouse for the first time. She’ll tell you about the Animal Festival and invite you to take part in the Small and Large categories of the competition. The Animal Festival itself will happen a few days later on Winter 10 in the center of Mistria. You’ll know it’s happening when you head north from the farm and find banners across the bridge at the river and at the stairs that take you into town. How to enter competitions at the Animal Festival Screenshot by Destructoid To enter your animals, you can interact with the boards outside the respective pens. On the left side, you can enter any large animal, and small animals go in the pen on the right. Large animals live in Barns (Cow, Horse, Sheep, or Alpaca), while small animals live in Coops (Chicken, Duck, Rabbit, or Capybara). To begin the judging part of the competition, you’ll need to speak to Josephine at her podium twice. The first time you talk to her, she’ll give you more information about the competition, and the second time she will call Adeline over to begin the judging. How to score high at the Animal Festival Screenshot by Destructoid If you want to win first place at the Animal Festival, you’ll face stiff competition, mostly from Hayden and his various farm animals. The small animal category is particularly challenging to win, with Henrietta as your rival here. However, if you want to score high, you’ll want to focus on two things: Heart level with the animal you enter Pelt or fur color The more hearts you have with your entered animal, the higher your score will be. Similarly, rare colored animals earn higher scores. This means that you need to selectively breed to get the rare colored animals, but this isn’t too hard once you know how.

Henrietta beat me to first place in the small animals category, and I didn’t even manage to come third in the large animal category. Dozy came third, which I would have assumed was against the rules as I couldn’t enter my pet into the running, but that’s neither here nor there. For coming third in the small animal category, I got the following rewards: White Chicken Wall Ribbon Chicken White Ribbon Animal Cosmetic Chicken Plushie Duck Plushie Items for sale at the Animal Festival Screenshot by Destructoid Apart from the competition, there’s a shop where you can buy unique items.
