Calico (Resources)

Hello there! This page will contain all of the Miscellaneous Resources you need to help complete Calico. At the top here is a basic Map from the beginning of the game with almost nothing on it. The Animal Location Resource will have a map with numbered locations for every animal. The Villager section has a Map that details every known location (that I know) of Villagers at the time of writing the Guides.

Resources

Below are all of the Resources you’ll need for Calico. Complete lists of all Animals and their types(as well as a Map with locations), all Villagers(and known locations) and the Quests they give, and all Recipes. The information in these Resources is geared toward achievements, however, so they will not contain all information. For example, I don’t list Quest Rewards unless its an item we will need or use in the future. There’s much more to learn about the game if you are so inclined, but we’re here for that sweet GamerScore, so let’s dive in.

Resource A: Animals

Animal Location Map

There are 63 Unique Animals in Calico spread out across the Island. They are listed below in the order you run across them in the game. 3 Animals, one in Heart Village and two in Cutie City, are unable to be gotten until the end of the game Two require us to fly and the third is part of a Quest. The animals listed below are in order of when you can first get them in the game, so if you’re worried about the missing animals in Heart Village and Cutie City, scroll down to animals 60-63.

There are also 12 Animal Types required for the Animal Charmer Achievement, but there are 18 Types total. The Fox, Goat, Cow, Sheep, Opossum and Alpaca types do not count toward that Achievement.

Resource B: Recipes

Not much to say about Recipes. Half of them you will unlock simply by playing all of the Quests. Estelle and Oliver’s shops have multiple Recipes for Sale. 4 of them are always available to purchase and I point out when to purchase them in my Walkthroughs. The other 6 are random occurrences, and shop inventory only resets when you sleep. Check out this VIDEO to learn more about resetting inventory and potentially trapping Oliver in your Cafe so you can get all of his recipes easily. A final note. Getting a Recipe from someone who is in your Cafe doesn’t immediately update the Recipes to Bake with. You need to leave the Cafe and go back in. i.e. I turned in Autumn’s quest to get Scones while she was at my Cafe, but the Scones didn’t show up until I left the Cafe and went back in.

Resource C: Villagers

Below is a list of all Villagers, their region, and the locations I am aware of for them. ALL Villagers can also sometimes be found at your Cafe so I recommend checking your Map regularly before looking for someone. MOST Villagers only have a single location (or at the very least the front and back of their house). The later you get into the game, it seems, the less likely new Villagers are to leave their house, though I may just have never seen them move elsewhere.
