Sebastian's Heart Events

What Happens After Marrying Sebastian?

Stardew Valley is host to a ton of different characters, but Sebastian may be one that sticks out the most. Misunderstood and a bit of a loner, plenty of players find themselves empathizing or maybe even relating to him on some level. However, with his habit of sitting in his bedroom (with that locked door always sitting in the way!) and disappearing right when the player most wants to seek him out, it can be hard for Stardew Valley players to figure out how to get close to him.

Worry not, though - in this guide, we'll share all the tips and tricks on where players can find Sebastian and how best to build up a friendship - and perhaps even a romance - with him.

Sebastian's Regular Schedule For Every Season

Compared to other characters, Sebastian's schedule can be surprisingly complex, featuring a lot of specific days when his schedule suddenly changes, or when the players' relationship with him will dictate where he is and what he's doing. At the very least, his schedule is still relatively easy to memorize since it mostly repeats from month to month, but it may be worth making notes of the days on which his schedule suddenly changes.

The Best Gifts For Sebastian: Likes, Loves, Dislikes, and Hates

As with all Stardew Valley characters, Sebastian is a big fan of receiving gifts - as long as he likes them, that is. Luckily for the player, Sebastian's liked and loved gifts are pretty on theme for Sebastian, mostly focusing on some of the darker and edgier items players can discover deep in the mines. Unluckily for newer players, it might be hard to get their hands on items he really loves, and he tends to have a big dislike of forages that are much easier to find in the early game. Still, players will hopefully be able to find something to give to him on this list!

Movie Theater: Sebastian's Favorites

Pelican Town's brand-new Movie Theater was added to Stardew Valley with Update 1.4, and it has quickly become a staple of many players' playthroughs. The Theater is great because of how effective it is in helping players' raise the friendship levels of their favorite characters - if you bring a specific character along to a screening of a movie they enjoy, you'll get a ton of heart points with them. This will only increase if you buy them a snack they like, too, so it's definitely worth taking advantage of!

If players would like to invite Sebastian to see a movie, all they have to do is head to the Movie Theater and buy a ticket for 1,000g. After buying the ticket, go find Sebastian and give the ticket to him. Then, head back to the Movie Theater at any time on the same day to meet Sebastian there.

What Happens After Marrying Sebastian?

After marrying Sebastian, he'll move into the farmhouse to live alongside the player. As well as this, he will add a small room to the right of the farmhouse, complete with a computer and some of his favorite artwork. He'll also create a space behind the farmhouse where he'll set up his motorcycle, and he can often be found there, working on it.

After marrying the player, on some mornings, Sebastian may gift his partner Coffee. On rainy days, he may gift the player something from 'the caves', including Amethyst, Bat Wing, Cave Carrot, Frozen Tear, Obsidian, and Void Essence. On Winter 28 - New Year's Eve - he will give the player a Beer to celebrate the New Year.

Stardew Valley is currently available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PlayStation Vita, Switch, and Xbox One.
