How to Unlock the Sebastian 14 Heart Event in Stardew Valley

In the 1.4 update of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe added new heart events to unlock with your spouses, including a special 14-heart event for Sebastian. This event provides a deeper look into Sebastian’s character and his love for frogs. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the Sebastian 14 heart event in Stardew Valley.

How to Reach 14 Hearts with Sebastian

To unlock Sebastian’s 14 Heart Event, you’ll need to reach 14 hearts in your relationship with him. Starting from 0 hearts, you’ll first need to build a friendship by giving him gifts and interacting with him daily. Once your relationship reaches 10 hearts, you can marry him using a Mermaid’s Pendant.

After marriage, you will be at 10 hearts. From there, continue to build your relationship by giving him gifts to boost those hearts to the maximum of 14.

Sebastian’s Favorite Gifts

To quickly boost your relationship and reach 14 hearts, make sure to give Sebastian his favorite items regularly. Here’s a list of Sebastian’s favorite gifts:

• Frozen Tear
• Obsidian
• Pumpkin Soup
• Sashimi
• Void Egg

Giving these items to Sebastian will help you quickly raise his affection and reach 14 hearts. Once you’ve hit the 14-heart milestone, Sebastian will say the line below and you can do his 14 heart event.

“Thanks for a great year, [your character name]. I’m excited to tackle next year together.” – Sebastian

How to Do the Sebastian 14-Heart Event

To unlock the first part of Sebastian’s 14-heart event, head to the mountain area (near the lake) while it’s raining or during a thunderstorm. The event can only be triggered in these weather conditions, so make sure to check the weather forecast or use a Rain Totem to control the weather if needed.

As soon as you enter the mountain area, a cutscene will start, leading you into the first portion of Sebastian’s 14-heart event.

Sebastian’s 14-Heart Event: Part 1

When the event begins, you’ll find Sebastian near the lake, looking concerned. He notices an injured frog hiding in the bushes nearby and asks for your help to rescue it. Here’s how the scene unfolds:

• Sebastian: “There’s an injured frog in the bushes… I think we should try to help it.”

You approach the bushes and shake them to get the frog out. The frog leaps out and Sebastian catches it. After examining the frog, he realizes its leg is injured. At this point, you’re given a few dialogue options to respond:

• “What should we do with him?”
• “It’s our son now…”
• “I don’t think he’s going to make it.”
• “Let’s nurse him back to health!”

Sebastian reacts based on your choice, but no matter which response you choose, he decides to take the frog home to care for it. This concludes the first part of the heart event.

Sebastian’s 14-Heart Event: Part 2

To trigger the second part of the event, head to your farmhouse the next day between 6:20 AM and 7:00 PM. When you enter, another cutscene will begin. This time, you’ll find that Sebastian has replaced his Solarion Chronicles table with a terrarium. The frog from the previous event now has a new home!

During the cutscene, Sebastian will ask if you think the frog might get lonely. You can respond with one of the following options:

• “Why not start a ‘frog sanctuary’?”
• “He’ll be fine.”

Regardless of your choice, the scene will continue, and you’ll get another set of dialogue options:

• “Why do you like frogs so much, anyway?”
• “I don’t really want this in the house.”
• “I’m glad you’ve found a new hobby.”

Your choice here will affect the tone of the interaction but not the outcome of the event. After this conversation, Sebastian’s spouse room will permanently feature the terrarium, and you’ll be able to see frogs hopping around inside.

That wraps up our guide on how to unlock Sebastian’s 14-heart event in Stardew Valley! This event adds another layer of depth to Sebastian’s character, showcasing his compassion for even the smallest creatures. If you’ve experienced this event, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
