What are Stardew Valley Harvey’s heart events?
There are a fair few heart events for Harvey and each one brings you closer together, culminating in a beautiful relationship – well, so long as you make the right choices and don’t make the doctor mad.
| Event | How to trigger |
| Two hearts | Head to George’s house and go inside, you find Harvey giving George a check-up, but the old man doesn’t want to listen to the doctor’s orders. You get two choices: -Encourage George to follow Harvey’s advice -Say George knows what’s best for his body Agreeing with George costs you 40 points with Harvey while siding with the doctor gives you an extra 40 friendship points. Regardless of what you choose, your friendship with George isn’t affected |
| Four hearts | Go to Harvey’s clinic while he’s there and he’ll give you an annual check-up, he mentions that your pulse seems high giving you three choices in how to respond: -Say that you’re nervous -Claim you’re out of breath from working on the farm -question if Harvey is actually a doctor, as your pulse is fine Unsurprisingly, insulting Harvey loses you 50 friendship points, but either of the other two options gives you 20 points |
| Six hearts | Go to the general store between 11am and 3pm, you catch Harvey taking part in a dance class which embarrasses him. You have two choices when he asks you not to tell anyone what you saw: -Promise to keep it a secret -Don’t promise not to say anything Keeping it a secret nets you an extra 20 friendship points while refusing to make that promise costs you 50 points |
| Eight hearts | Head to Harvey’s room, here you’ll find him trying to make contact with a pilot, you two have a conversation in which whatever response you give gets the same result; Harvey tells you about how he dreamed of being a pilot |
| Ten hearts |
After you get a letter from Harvey, you need to meet him at the railroad tracks. Here, you go on a hot air balloon ride. You can get straight on or ask why he wants to do this considering he has a fear of heights, turns out your courage inspires him to be brave. After freaking out in the air a little, Harvey remembers he’s with you and it calms him down, helping him marvel at the world below. The two of you share a kiss before returning to the ground… half an hour later than you should have |
| Group ten hearts | If you get around a bit and have done the ten hearts event with every eligible bachelor, they’re waiting for you when you next enter the Stardrop Saloon. One of two things will happen: -If you have a rabbit’s foot, you play pool and have a fun time Without a rabbit’s foot, all the guys get mad at you for dating them all at once, leading to them not speaking to you for a week Don’t worry, a week is all they need to get over it and return to business as usual |
| 14 hearts | You need to upgrade the farmhouse at least twice and enter it between 8pm and midnight. Harvey cooks you a romantic dinner and you share a nice evening together |
What are Harvey’s favorite movies and concessions?
When it comes to movies, Harvey seems to like, dislike, and love things in an even fashion, and his snacks, while a couple are unhealthy, tend to be on the healthy side, which makes sense considering he’s a doctor – just don’t try to take my chocolate cake away, Harv.

| Love | The Zuzu City Express, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch | Apple slices, stardrop sorbet, jasmine tea |
| Like | Wumbus, The Brave Little Sapling, Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World | Truffle popcorn, salmon burger, kale smoothie, sour slimes, panzanella salad, cappuccino mousse cake, hummus snack pack |

Can you marry Stardew Valley’s Harvey?
