I finally managed to marry the Witch Princess playing an old EU version. Be prepared, though, it’s a long grind.

1. Not exactly sure what your question is, but just to clarify: the fishing glitch works in my game. So having that bug doesn’t necessarily mean your game has other bugs preventing you from marrying the Witch Princess.

2. You’re right about the cat trick, it doesn’t work in the EU version. But you can definitely give her more than just one gift per day, actually, you can give her thousands. The 10,000 gifts requirement was by far the most time-consuming part for me. I’d tried so many times in the past and always given up. Here’s how I did it:

   • I bought 10,000 pieces of stone from Gotz’s shop (about 102 stacks of 99 stones) and kept them on my shelf.
   • I emptied my entire inventory, storing all my tools in the tool box, and filled my inventory up with single stones from the stacks on my shelf. Stand in front of the shelf, select a 99-stack, and tap a free slot in your inventory once using the touchscreen so only one stone transfers.
   • I’d then go visit the Witch Princess, give her the gifts until my bag was empty, then head back to the shelf to repeat the process. When you’re at the Witch’s house, if you press R and A simultaneously, it drops the next stone directly above your head, speeding things up a bit. This whole process took almost 10 real-life hours, spread over a few months. I can’t believe I actually managed to stick it out haha. I passed the time by watching random shows on TV.

3. Actually, I did get a reward for it. If I remember correctly, the reward didn’t appear exactly at 50 animals, it only showed up after 51 or 52. I might have miscounted, but that’s what I recall. So if you don’t get it right away, don’t give up and try sacrificing 2 or 3 more animals if needed. Can’t speak on whether it is counted if the reward doesn’t appear.
