Stardew Valley Krobus guide

Stardew Valley's Krobus is one of the more enigmatic characters, being the only monster that wants to be your friend, which certainly makes for a nice surprise when you meet him. So, to help you make this one-of-a-kind pal, we're here to walk you through his favorite gifts and movies, as well as take a look at his heart events.

Like other Stardew Valley characters, Krobus has preferences for his favorite movies and gifts and has a couple of heart events for you to experience. However, no matter how close you two get, he isn't going to help run your farm, so you should read up on how to build a Stardew Valley silo; without one, you can't look after your precious animals.

Here's everything you need to know about Stardew Valley's Krobus:

What are the best Stardew Valley Krobus gifts?

Krobus likes things you don't. It's that simple when you need to go shopping for him. This little monster enjoys void mayonnaise, monster musk, and void eggs, but he also likes diamonds, so he does have some taste. While he doesn't outright hate most things, there are plenty of gifts that Krobus dislikes, so be sure to check the table below to avoid making any mistakes.

Oh, and don't forget that you can give Krobus two gifts a week, so make sure you do to speed up your friendship.

The best gifts to give Krobus are:

• Monster compendium, void egg, diamond, monster musk, wild horseradish, pumpkin, void mayonnaise, iridium bar, and all universal loves

The worst gifts to give Krobus are:

• All universal hates (not including strange bun, void mayonnaise, seafoam pudding, and monster musk)

When is Krobus' birthday?

If you want to give the sewer-dweller an extra present, find them on Winter 1, when it's their birthday.

What are Stardew Valley Krobus' heart events?

While most citizens have at least three or four heart events for you to experience, Krobus has just two, though he's the only one outside of a romance that you can have a 14 heart event with, and it's quite adorable. Typically, you either need to be married to someone like Maru or Sebastian to experience such an event. Even outside of romance, Krobus is one of a kind, as friends like Marnie tend to cap out at eight, so Krobus is quite special in the friends department.

Stardew Valley Krobus quests

Like many of the other residents of Pelican Town, Krobus has a couple of quests for you to complete. The first is Dark Talisman, though Krobus is just a part of this quest. You need to talk to Krobus after the Wizard requests some ink, as he then opens the passage to the Mutant Bug Lair, allowing you to find the talisman.

The Second Stardew Valley Krobus quest is called A Winter Mystery, and it rewards you with a magnifying glass, which means you can find secret notes. The quest starts by mail after you trigger a cutscene by approaching the bus stop during winter between 6am and 4pm. You need to go to the Community Center and interact with the bus; this triggers another cutscene in which Krobus gives you the magnifying glass.

What are Krobus' favorite movies and concessions?

Krobus likes just one movie and hates everything else, making him the worst friend to take to the cinema - this monster doesn't even enjoy chocolate popcorn. I'm not mad, Krobus, just disappointed.

Can you marry Stardew Valley's Krobus?

No, he's a different species and a monster to boot, so of course you can't marry Krobus. Yes, I'm sure that's disappointing for some, but those are the breaks. However, you can live with him as roommates, which is particularly handy if you go through a nasty divorce and need someone to help you with the kids.

If you want to give marriage a shot, you need to get to know people like Emily and Harvey, though there are plenty more singletons if they're not the ones for you.

How do I make Krobus my roommate?

If you like being a bachelor or bachelorette but don't enjoy living on your own, your ol' pal Krobus is here to be your roommate. Seriously, you can live with the monster, though you still need to follow the same steps as you would with a potential spouse. However, instead of a mermaid pendant, you need to give Krobus the void ghost pendant and upgrade your farmhouse to give him his own room. Just one thing: unlike a wife or husband, Krobus doesn't do any of the chores.

However, there are perks you get that a spouse doesn't offer. For instance, Krobus doesn't get jealous when you give out gifts, whereas your husband or wife most certainly kicks up a stink about it. If you do make Krobus your roommate, a chest will replace him in the sewers. If you want to send him back to where he came from, you don't have to spend any money. This isn't a divorce, though you still need to pay the mayor a visit. However, this does effectively ruin your friendship, so make sure you wipe his memory at the Dark Shrine of Memory if you want to start over.

What does Krobus sell?

Before your budding friendship results in you possibly living together, Krobus is little more to you than a monster you can buy some goods from in the sewer. He actually has some handy items for sale, so let's take a look at his stock and how much it costs.

That's everything you need to know about Krobus. We hope this guide puts you on the fast track to friendship.
