Stardew Valley's Demetrius is a scientist who studies the local wildlife, so he's a great friend to have if you like animals and care about the wellbeing of the environment - what sort of person are you if you don't care about nature? Plus, as a farmer, it can only be a good thing to be pals with the local guy who loves animals. So, to make sure you form a steadfast friendship, let's take a look at his heart events, favorite gifts, and more.
Like any other resident of Pelican Town, Demetrius has ties with several Stardew Valley characters, one of which is Sebastian, his stepson.
Here's everything you need to know about Stardew Valley's Demetrius:
What are the best gifts for Demetrius?
Demetrius loves ice cream, strawberry, and a couple of other items, so make sure those are the first things you go for when giving a gift to him. We also highly recommend you avoid giving him holly at all costs. There must be something in the water in Pelican Town, because it feels like every resident has something against holly.
Typically, you can give Demetrius two gifts a week, but that extends to three during his birthday week, so make sure you take advantage of those opportunities. His birthday is on Summer 19.
The best gifts to give Deemtrius are:
- Rice pudding, bean hotpot, strawberries, ice cream, dinosaur egg, purple mushroom, all universal likes, and all universal loves
The worst gifts to give Deemtrius are:
- Holly, quartz, all universal dislikes, and all universal hates

How do I unlock Demetrius' heart events?
There are four heart events for you to enjoy with Stardew Valley's Demetrius, and one of them is very important if you want to cement your friendship. If you make the wrong decision, Demetrius might just declare you his enemy instead. Luckily, that's the only event with any pressure, as most involve you receiving a gift from him in the mail.

Besides heart events, there's another event that triggers with Demetrius. Once you earn 25k gold on the farm, Demetrius comes to visit you, explaining that he has some research he could use your help with. He's going to improve the cave but needs your help deciding whether he wants to attract fruit bats or grow mushrooms. Demetrius also sends you a letter about the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, which is a fun little festival you can visit.
Can you marry Stardew Valley's Demetrius?
Stardew Valley's Sebastian already has a ring on his finger. If that doesn't make the situation easy enough for you, let me be frank: he's married and not interested in straying, so you're better off pursuing a relationship with someone else. You deserve someone who will commit to you 100%, and Demetrius' wife, Robin, deserves the same from her husband. However, you can build a solid friendship with him, and you can never have too many friends in a small place like Pelican Town.
