Wooing Stardew Valley NPCs is just one of the many activities you can do in the RPG simulator. To really fall on the good graces of someone, you have to know them. Identifying the things they like while avoiding their dislikes is the best way to get them to marry you as quickly as possible. In total, there are 12 NPCs that you can marry in the game. This guide will focus on the adorable purple haired Abigail.
How to befriend and marry Abigail in Stardew Valley
Abigail lives with her parents, Pierre and Caroline, in the apartment behind Pierre’s Shop. To elevate your relationship with her, you will need to give her gifts. You can give a maximum of two freebies per week and an additional one on Fall 13, which is her birthday. Any gift you give on his birthday will have eight times the normal gift effect and show a unique dialogue.
Gifts
However, you can’t just give Abigail a gift and expect her to fall in love with you. Giving her the appropriate items will raise your heart level with her, while giving her things she doesn’t like will lower it.
Items she adores include Amethyst, Cobbler, Chocolate Cake, Prismatic Shard, Pufferfish, Pumpkin, Rabbit’s Foot, and Spicy Eels.
She loves beer, cheese, coffee, cookies, crocus, diamond, earth crystal, emerald, blue jazz, tulip, summer sprinkles, sweet peas, honey, ice cream, jade, pancakes, maple syrup, mayonnaise, pale beer, pizza, quartz, Ruby, salad, spaghetti, sunflower, topaz, trout soup and wine.
Abigail is neutral to bread, clams, coral, daffodil, dandelion, milk, and rainbow shells.
She doesn’t like all vegetables, all fruits, all eggs, blackberry, jagaite, joja cola, mussel, nekoite, obsidian, orpiment, oyster, perch, cone pine, poppy, refined quartz, salmonberry, sardines, sugar, thunder egg, wheat flour, and wild horseradish.
And finally, she hates seaweed, clay, copper ore, elven jewelry, golden pumpkin, sap, mud, stone, and bone flutes.
Events
As you gain more hearts with Abigail, you can participate in events to get closer to her.
After you have had a two-hearted relationship, go to Peter’s shop every day except Saturday. She will play a game called “Journey of the Prairie King” and ask you to help her beat the level. It’s a simple game, just move around and shoot enemies that come in without you or Abigail getting hit.
With four hearts, walk by the lake on the chemin des mines on rainy days during all seasons except winter between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. Abigail will play her flute in the rain. Talk to her to know that she came here to be alone, but she doesn’t care about your company. At this point, you take out a mini harp and play a song along with it.
Hit Six Cores
Once you’ve hit six cores, enter Pelican Town from any direction between 9:00 p.m. and midnight on a non-rainy day. Abigail will be sitting in the graveyard seeking privacy and practicing her swordplay. She will reveal that she wants to explore the mines. Tell her how you’ve used a sword before, and it’s exciting, and she’ll admit that she wants to go on an adventure. At this point, her father is coming from behind a tree, and Abigail will storm off with you in the trailer. Nice teenage rebellion.
At eight hearts, Abigail will send you a letter in the mail asking you to come to her room at 8 p.m. When you arrive in her room, she will show you a spirits board. When you both put your hand on it, it will start to say that she has feelings for you. In embarrassment, she kicks you out. Go home and sleep, and she will be standing outside your door in the morning. At one point, buy a bouquet of flowers from Pierre’s Shop and give it to him to go from friends to relationship.
After you’ve hit ten hearts, go to the mines or quarry mine between 5:00 p.m. and midnight. Abigail took the courage to go on an adventure until a large group of bats jumped on her. Let her know that you are afraid too, and she will tell you how reasonable it is to be afraid when you have something to lose. She reveals her feelings to you and you kiss in the mine.
Wedding
After the previous cutscene is over, give Abigail a Mermaid Pendant which you can purchase from the Old Mariner for 5,000 gold. You can find him standing along the north side of the eastern beach on a rainy day. Presenting the mermaid pendant to him, she replies that she accepts, and she will be holding the ceremony in three days. After three days, the wedding ceremony will take place automatically.
After her marriage, Abigail moves into your farm and will set up a space behind the house where she will practice her flute. Keep your relationship with her by interacting with her and giving her gifts. Some days she will offer you various items.
If you ever want to have kids, upgrade your house to level three. In total, from level one to level three, it will cost you 60,000 gold and 600 hardwood. Once at level three, Abigail will ask you if you want to have a child. If you choose yes, one will appear in the nursery after a few days and grow slowly.
