One of Stardew Valley's biggest appeals is its large cast of characters for the player to befriend. Each villager has their own personality and thus their own likes and dislikes when it comes to items they can be gifted. While there are some items that are almost universally loved and liked, it's helpful to know what other items are liked by specific villagers. Krobus is unique in that he is a character that essentially has to be unlocked and he isn't even human. Regardless, the mechanics for getting him to like the player are the same as any other resident of Stardew Valley.

To even meet Krobus though, players will first need to gain access to the valley's sewers. In order to do this, 60 items must be donated to Gunther's museum. Once that has been accomplished, Gunther will show up the next day to give players the Rusty Key which will give players access to the sewers either from the southernmost part of Cindersap Forest, or through the entrance in the middle of the town by the graveyard.

Once players have met Krobus, they have access to his shop and the ability to befriend him. Besides the items that are universally loved (such as rabbit's feet and pearls), Krobus loves diamonds, iridium bars, pumpkins, void eggs, void mayonnaise, and wild horseradishes.

The latter three items are likely the easiest to obtain. Krobus himself sells void eggs in his shop. They're a little expensive at 5,000 gold per egg, but players can just buy one and then hatch it and raise void chickens to get more eggs for a daily gift that Krobus will love. Players can also turn it into mayonnaise with a mayonnaise maker, but there's nothing to be gained from that as Krobus loves void eggs and void mayonnaise equally. Wild horseradishes meanwhile can be foraged around the valley during Spring.

Diamonds, iridium bars, and pumpkins are a little harder to come by. If players are in late game and have access to the Skull Caverns and a crystalarium, then the diamonds and iridium bars may not be too difficult to obtain, as diamonds can be found in the cavern and then replicated with a crystalarium and iridium ore can be found in the cavern as well, which can then be smelted for iridium bars. Players who have the Statue of Perfection will have access to daily iridium ore which will also help. Pumpkins meanwhile are pretty straightforward, but take a while to grow and can only be grown during Fall without the greenhouse.

It should be noted though that cooked items are generally universally liked by Stardew Valley residents, but Krobus only likes Seafoam Pudding. He also doesn't like Life Elixir. His specific liked items are gold bars and quartz. Gold bars can be smelted from gold ore found in even the standard mines, and quartz can be found there too.

Krobus has two events when he reaches a certain heart level. At three hearts, he will send players a crafting recipe for the dark sign. If players give Krobus a void ghost pendant (obtained from Skull Caverns or the Desert Trader) and they aren't married, Krobus will move into the farmhouse and become the player's roommate. In this case, his heart cap is raised to 14, the same as any married character, in which he has another heart event at the beach at that cap.

Stardew Valley is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
