Some players have been surprised by certain cutscenes, indicating that they contain unexpected elements that enrich the storyline [5:1].
By understanding Harvey's character, knowing where to find him, giving him the right gifts, and engaging in his heart events, you can successfully romance Harvey in Stardew Valley.
I know he’s kind of boring, but I think he’s such a sweet husband. I keep replaying and trying to go with different love interests but I always find my way back to him. His little blushes are so adorable
Harvey and Elliott are my go tos. I am trying to go through others. Right now I'm on Alex, and I find him kind of dull. I tried Sam. He's cute but...young. Shane is...troubled. I have not even ventured toward Sebastian but I will give him a try at some point.
he’s like my own little spencer reid😭
Yes! That's it!
Yessssss that’s exactly it
I married him in my very first playthrough and really loved having him as a husband.
I've married others through different saves, but no one, for me, is quite like Harvey. There's just a gentle sweetness about him that I find quite appealing.
Me too, something about how shy he seems just warms my little heart
The only way he could improve is if he made lucky lunches or pumpkin soups instead of complete breakfasts.
I refuse to try and fix Shane lmao
Where does he live?
Above the clinic
Does anyone else find trying to date Harvey really freaking hard? I can hardly ever find him, aparte from in his clinic. Like the other character's seem to roam around town, but nope, not Harvey.
He's hard at first, because he hides in his room half the time like Sebastian. But once you get enough hearts to open his door, it's much easier because you know where he is.
The mindset I had to get into was to go early in the morning to his office. No late evening last minute gifts, but since he's almost always at work, he's actually pretty easy to get to during clinic hours in the mornings.
You can look him up on the Stardew Vally Wiki
(https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Harvey)
He has a set schedule. Sometimes he walks around in the yard above Jodi's house and he also does have times that he goes to the saloon.
Thank you! I will now be able to gift him his pickles a whole lot easier :3
Yeah, I always find him in the garden or saloon. He loves wine too.
I was having trouble with him too. He does spend most of his time in his house :/
As the title suggests, my soulmate died in August last year and, since then, to avoid turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms to battle the depression, I turned to Stardew Valley. I noticed Harvey was a lot like my beloved. He's an intelligent introvert with a heart of gold. As I fell in love with my beloved, my character fell in love with Harvey. Through him, I get to feel some semblance of love again. Harvey will never know how grateful I am for this fabricated relationship, in a time where I'm mourning the loss of my deepest one...until we meet again, Joe....I'll embrace you once again someday. Until then, I'll let my characters live the life we were robbed of....
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stardew has a way of helping in hard times doesn't it? It's possibly my favorite comfort game.
When I suffered a break up years ago, Florence really helped me pick up the pieces. However, losing my soulmate leaves a different type of hole and, as you said, Stardew has proven to be an amazing comfort game. Harvey and I are now expecting our second child and it really helps during those intense moments of loneliness and missing him. Thanks for your kind words!
I know Harvey isn’t real, but the little things he says when I open the game and start my day. And then you lean in and kiss him. It makes real life me’s heart SWELL. Harvey is the best ♥️
Absolutely agreeeeeeeee!! I kiss him so many times a day, just as I did with my Joe. I'm a touchy feely girlie, so even the game has to tell me to chill on the gift giving and loving sometimes. Haha!
That is so sweet. I’m so happy that you can find joy in that. I definitely do. It’s the little things!
My deepest condolences to you ❤️ I’ve never really given Harvey a second look but this post really opened my eyes…. What a sweetheart he is
Good wishes for you 🌸🎀💗
I'm so sorry for your loss, but am glad to hear that Stardew has left a positive impact on your life. Wishing you and Harvey all the happiness. 💕
I just got the game last week. My goals were upgrade house, become boyfriends with Harvey, and marry Harvey! And I did ! My goal now is to upgrade the house again!!
15 hours... took me 120 hours before I got married
I’m like 50ish hours in and while I’ve mastered fishing and started to catch legendary fish, my highest relationship is with Abigail and it’s only five hearts. Actually, it’s tied with Maple, my cat, who is also at five hearts
Holy shit I’m sorry. That was all I was doing though was trying to get married and upgrade my house
I THOUGHT THAT WAS PIERRE FOR A HOT SECOND AND I HAD A HEART ATTACK! LIKE WDYM?? 15 HOURS FOR PIERRE??? FOR THE PEE HAIR??
NO ITS HARVEY I WOULD NEVER
Nice purple shorts!
Thank you!!
oh my gosh!!! i married Harvey on fall 25 in my perfection run! were one day apart :) congrats!!
Thank you!!
Congratulations!! 🥰
Thank you!
I've never romanced Harvey this far and was not aware of this Heart Scene. I'm so sorry, Harvey! I didnt mean to ruin it with my logging forest 😭
I’m actually surprised this cutscene doesn’t use a custom map like the festivals.
congrats to the happy couple! harvey is very underrated partner imo
Looove Harvey!
Wooo he's the best sweetest hubby
Who is wearing the trash can hat and tie dyed shirt?? Co-op??
Those were my friends playing too! 😆
Off brand Pierre and Caroline lol
Harvey is the only marriage candidate worth marrying
Same here! Married Harvey and didn't have any regrets. He's the sweetest and his dialogues always make me go 'awww'.
Me too! My first play through and as soon as I got through some of the heart events immediately wanted to marry him ��he’s too pure!
the cutscene when >!he's exercising with the ladies and acts all shy and embarrassed that the player saw!< made me choose him over shane lmao. so cute.
Harvey was actually the first one I married! I remember finding Sam and Alex a little too young-looking for my liking, so I ended up gravitating towards Harvey. I'm very happy with my choice too, he is a sweetheart.
Yes, I gravitated towards Harvey because he didn’t seem so young and we’re both in the healthcare field. But I got tired of him always giving me healthcare tips! So I went with Elliot. Maybe I’ll go with Harvey next time
Harvey is great! I married him in my last game and was not disappointed!
Harvey is the sweetest boy
He really is. He is so good to you after you marry him!
Harvey was my favorite until I realized he looks like my dad. ��
There’s an in-game piece that says Harvey, Shane, and Elliott are all “older” bachelors, so this is confirmed.
Oh man, I lost both of my grandfathers and struggled with depression. I have lost it hard at the grandfather saying hes proud of "me" and watching from above and Shane hitting his lowest. This game is honestly so beautifully made.
He's the best, what with his massages and general sweetness.
I’m trying to do the flirtin’ with various people (Leah, Elliot, Harvey) but I CANNOT EVER FIND HARVEY. Where does he go all day?? Why is he not in the clinic? I won’t ever get enough hearts to go in his room if I can’t ever find him! HARVEY I HAVE BEEN CARRYING SOME PICKLED PARSNIPS AROUND FOR LIKE A WEEK I WANNA GIVE THEM TO YOU
Pls halp
He loves coffee! Unless he likes pickled parsnips as well? But the stardew valley wiki could help you! I usually see him in his office, standing in town, at the bar, or near the community centre most days (this is with the community centre fixed and joja gone)
he loves pickles too :3
Iirc I would always just drop in his clinic right as it opened (9am) and he'd be there or in his apartment most days. The wiki has a detailed schedule that you can check depending on what season you're in though
Edit: oh I totally missed the part where you can't get back there. Wiki says he spends some afternoons by the fountain and is in the saloon on rainy nights
I try to get to his clinic before noon because that seems to be when he leaves to do other things
He's nowhere
and everywhere
You feel him close but
Nothing's there...
You can check his schedule in the wiki, hope that helps you find that mustache of his to do the flirtin'
