However, once you unlock your hammer, it will not have the power or tier enough to destroy these big buddies. So, in order to get rid of this rocky pest, you will have to upgrade your hammer. Here are a couple of things you need to do before you learn how to break big rocks in Harvestella. Beware, you will have to progress further into the game.

  • Finish Quest 3C in order to unlock the Earth Faerie.
