How to Get the Silver Axe on Animal Crossing: City Folk

Getting the Fountain

Before you can get the silver axe, you need to have a fountain. Skip these steps if you've already got one.

Have a bridge. You need a bridge first. That's the first thing you need before you get your fountain.

Donate 400,000 bells to the Town Fund. (Not including the 200,000 for the extra bridge.) You can't use it the first day because Mayor Tortimer will be standing in the way.

Getting the Axe

Get a regular axe and throw it into the fountain. (If you don't know how, make a horizontal swipe with the Wii remote.) Do you notice the chihuahua?

Serena the dog is unpredictable. You never know what she'll do. She sometimes gets mad when the axe is thrown. She sometimes asks for the player's opinion of her looks, or ask if she looks different. She'll be happy if you answer yes.

Serena will sometimes look sad and ask why you threw the axe in and if you hate her. If you answer yes, you hate her, she might keep the axe or give you a golden axe so you'll like her.

She will ask different things each time you throw an axe in. She will keep the axe, give it back, give you a golden axe or give you a silver one. You never know.

She asks what type of axe you threw in. Serena will probably give the axe back if you say a normal one.
