The Hatchet is primarily used to smash ore nodes to collect gems & ores, and to chop branches to collect Wood while foraging. It is often considered one of the most important tools to upgrade early in SoS: Grand Bazaar.
Each Hatchet upgrade tier allows you to break higher-level ore nodes. Each higher level node can provide rarer materials needed to upgrade your other tools. Because of this, the Hatchet’s upgrade path effectively drives your entire tool progression.
Where to Get
You receive the Hatchet from Lloyd on Spring 4, Year 1, during the game’s mining tutorial.
In this event Lloyd visits your farm, explains how to use the Hatchet to mine, and starts a new request called “Mining Practice”.
How to Use
With the Hatchet equipped, stand in front of any boulder, ore node, or branch and hit the action button on controller to strike directly in front of you.
To break multiple foraging nodes at once you can jump to perform a wider smash.
You can also use the Hatchet to dig up seeds immediately after planting them, and to uproot fruit trees to return them to your inventory.
All Upgrades
The Hatchet has five upgrade tiers, where each tier primarily unlocks the capability to break stronger ore nodes.
You’ll also notice that compared to your other upgradeable tools, the Hatchet does not have any “plus” upgrade levels (such as “Copper+” or “Silver+”).
