Heart Events when romancing Sebastian

Heart events are cutscenes and interactions that happen once you build a relationship with an NPC in Stardew Valley. Below you can find a list of heart events that happen when you romance Sebastian.

2 Hearts: Go to Sebastian's room and talk to him about his work. He will get annoyed because nobody takes his job seriously.

4 Hearts: Go to the mountain from 11 am to 5 pm and find Sebastian working on his motorcycle. He will ask you if you want to ride it some time and you can agree or disagree with no negative impact on your friendship. 

6 Hearts: Head to Sebastian’s room while he's there and play a video game with him. Pick a class, go through the front, defend yourself, then go to the hallway to your left, destroy the capsules, and go into the boss battle. Your choice will depend on your class: Wizards have to defend their friends while the wizard is mumbling, and healers will need to heal Sebastian. If you’re a warrior, block him.  

8 Hearts: Go to the boardwalk while it's raining from 12 pm and 11 pm, and a cutscene will ensue. Sebastian will open up to you a little. 

10 Hearts: Head to the mountain between 8 pm and midnight. You'll ride on his motorcycle to a play that he likes, there you can tell him to stop smoking if you want him to. He will then confess his feelings for you.

Group 10 Hearts: If you're unmarried and you've given a bouquet to all available bachelors and seen each bachelor's 10-heart event, then walking into The Stardrop Saloon will trigger a cutscene. If you have a rabbit's foot in your inventory, the cutscene will just be a friendly game of pool between everyone. If you do not have a rabbit's foot, all bachelors will express their upset about you dating them all at the same time. You'll get the 'cold shoulder' from every bachelor for about a week after the event, but after a week the bachelors will forgive you, and dialogues return to normal.

14 Hearts: Go to the mountain from 6 am to 7 pm and you'll then have a conversation about a frog. Begin the second part of the event by going to your farmhouse between 6:20 am and 7 pm the next day. You'll now have a terrarium!

Married life after you've romanced Sebastian

Once you've tied the knot, Sebastian will move into your farmhouse with you. His own room will be attached to the bedroom, and the small area behind the farmhouse will subsequently house his beloved motorcycle. Like with other marriage candidates, Sebastian offers you gifts on occasion. Below is a list of the gifts your new dark-haired spouse will offer you.

• Coffee
• Obsidian
• Void essence
• Bat wing
• Frozen tear
• Amethyst
• Cave carrot
• Beer (on Winter 28, or 'New Year's Eve)

As long as you talk to him regularly and give him gifts in return, Sebastian will remain happy in his marriage to you. He can, however, become jealous if you ignore him and give a lot of other gifts to the other NPCs in Stardew Valley. And if he annoys you, you can always divorce him!

But there you have it, that's how you successfully romance Sebastian!
