How to Unlock Holohouse in Holocure
(Updated on October 11, 2024 – updated links and format)
If you are just starting your adventure in Holocure, the new mode will not be available to you. Luckily, all you have to do to unlock Holohouse is complete Stage 1, called The Grassy Plains. We recommend you use Amelia Watson, as she is available from the very beginning of the game and can deal significant damage at a distance.
Once you’ve cleared the First Stage, you will be able to find Holohouse in the Holocure main menu. Then select one of the characters available to you, and you will be transferred to a cozy life sim. This game mode has several activities that can both entertain you and help you earn HoloCoins. But let’s talk about everything in order.
Fishing in Holocure Holohouse
As soon as you enter the Holohouse, you will immediately receive a Fishing Rod. With it, you can fish in the pond by playing a mini-game. Luckily, you don’t need bait or anything for this. Therefore, players can fish until they get bored. But to catch rarer species, you have to buy better Fishing Rods in Holocure.
You can do this at Bloop’s Shop, located near the pond. He will gladly buy any fish from you for Sand, and sell better Fishing Rods. You can also exchange Sand for HoloCoins.
Holohouse Management Board
In the lower-left corner of the map, you can find the Management Board with which you can recruit fans. Of course, this will cost you quite a lot of HoloCoins. However, hired fans will earn money for you literally out of nothing. You only need to visit them occasionally to collect your earnings and feed them.
Unlike fishing, you don’t have to play mini-games, so this is the best passive way to earn HoloCoins. However, you should be aware that each worker has different food preferences, so you need to do not only Fishing but also Farming.
Holohouse Farming
Another useful activity in Holocure Holohouse is Farming. You will find 8 plots just above the Management Board. But to start growing anything, you first have to earn extra HoloCoins.
An NPC named Nemu sells soil and seeds for quite high prices. For example, Standard Soil costs 200 HoloCoins. However, your fans will only eat fish or farm-grown food. Therefore, you will have to grow as many crops as possible. In addition, players can sell all food they have grown for a good amount of HoloCoins.
After planting the seeds, you need to wait for a cooldown before they can be harvested. You can water your garden to reduce the cooldown by 60s. If it’s raining outside, your plants will be watered automatically. When the crop is ready to be harvested, you will see a notification on the left side of the screen.
Holohouse Cooking
When you have caught enough different fish and grown vegetables and fruits, you can start cooking in Holocure Holohouse. To do this, approach the pot and interact with it. Then choose the dish you like best. Each of them can give you different buffs for one run, so choose wisely. Players can select which food to eat before starting a run.
Holohouse Decoration
All previous activities can help you survive longer runs or earn HoloCoins in a short amount of time. However, this is still a life sim mode, which means you should have your own home. You will find it in the northern part of the map. It will be very empty at first, but you can fill it up with any furniture and decorations you like.
In front of the house, you will find an NPC named Elfriend Foreman who sells various precarious items such as tables, beds, chairs, etc. Buy whatever you like and then place it in the house to create the home of your dreams.
That’s all you need to know about Holohouse in Holocure. This mode will help you earn a lot of HoloCoins doing almost nothing, so follow our tips to unlock Holohouse as soon as possible. And while you are here, take a look at our guide on how to unlock the Beetle.
