Abigail’s heart events

One of the best aspects of Stardew Valley are the events. They split up the days of optimizing your farm layout and allow the gift giving to really have an impact on how the story progresses. However, such heart events often require you to be in the right place at the right time. This is why having the right know-how is vital.

Two heart event

To enter an NPCs room you need to have two hearts with them so this cutscene activates after that has been achieved.

Simply head into the General Store in the morning when Stardew Valley’s Abigail is in there to activate this cutscene.

Four heart event

When you get to four hearts head to the Mountain between 12 pm and 7 pm when it’s raining. Snow doesn’t count so avoid doing so in the winter.

Choose your answer wisely as selecting that you are “Enjoying the weather” will give you the most additional friendship.

Six heart event

The six-heart event is a lot easier to find than many others. All you need to do is go into Pelican town between 9 pm and midnight to see Abigail standing in the Graveyard.

Selecting the dialogue option “Yes, and it’s exciting” or “Yes, but only in self-defense” will give you a small plus to your friendship.

Eight heart event

This event will first trigger when you receive a letter from Abigail, hinting at you to meet her in the General Store. Enter the store between 8 pm and 10 pm to get Abigail’s heart event.

Ten heart event

The ten-heart event will only begin once you have given Abigail a Bouguet and before you give her the Mermaid’s Pendant.

You need to be at the Quarry mine or the traditional mine between 5 pm and midnight to trigger the event itself.

Asking her if she is okay will give you the most friendship and following that with “I get scared too” will give you the best bonuses for this event.

Fourteen heart event

The last event available is when you get to 14 hearts with Abigail.

Simply head into the Backwoods between 6 am and 5 pm and you will trigger a lovely event that has no impact on the friendship as a whole but will show just how pure and sweet this relationship really is.

So, there you have it, everything you need to know about Abigail and how to either romance her or make her your best friend. Check out our Stardew Valley hub for more guides and news.
