The misunderstood and lonely Elliott is another of the bachelors of Stardew Valley and a candidate to marry the player in a romantic fantasy like the one in his novels, only if you give him enough gifts. At first, establishing a relationship with this writer may be a little complicated because he hardly ever leaves the house by the very nature of his work. It is also possible that Elliott did not sell many books during the spring and had a money shortage. Just wait for the warmer days, for your movie-like summer love to emerge like the sun on the Pelican Town skyline.
Stardew Valley: How Can You Improve Your Relationship With Elliott with Gifts?
Like in real life, friendship or romantic relationships in this game are not easy either. So you must take care of your loved ones in Pelican Town and sometimes show your affection with more than just words. Also, like you and me, Stardew Valley characters have unique likes and dislikes, and Elliott is no exception regarding gifts. This writer, although secluded in his beach hut, has finer tastes, so know that you’ll need to earn enough gold to see that heart bar go up to the sky.
| Love | Crab Cakes Duck Feather Lobster Pomegranate Squid Ink Tom Kha Soup Universal Loves* |
| Like | All books (Only for Elliott’s case) Octopus Squid Universal Likes* |
| Neutral | All Fish All Eggs (Avoid Void Egg for him) Rainbow Shell Sea Urchin Universal Neutrals* |
| Dislikes | All Milk Chanterelle Common Mushroom Daffodil Dandelion Ginger Hazelnut Holly Leek Magma Cap Morel Pizza Wheat Flour Tomato Cheese Purple Mushroom Snow Yam Wild Horseradish Winter Root Universal Dislikes* |
| Hate | Amaranth Quartz Salmonberry Sea Cucumber Super Cucumber Universal Hates* |
All the Universal options are items the characters generally love, hate, etc., but you must check each case. So remember to verify each box for Elliott because he has some exceptions. For example, Elliott’s Universal Likes are Amaranth, which he hates; Pizza, which he dislikes; and Rainbow Shell, which he finds neutral. This also changes with his Universal Neutrals, Dislikes, and Hates. They are a general guide for most characters, but it is easiest for this writer to go directly to each Love and Like box.
It is also essential that you forge a good relationship with the family and friends of the character with whom you want to improve your friendship. For Eliott, you need to get close to Willy and Leah. Talking to his friends will make them reveal information about Elliott and his likes and dislikes. Now you know what Elliott will like as gifts if you want to forge an unbreakable friendship or a lasting romance in Stardew Valley.
