Unveiling the Heart of Gustafa: Your Ultimate Guide to Finding Love in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

Gustafa is a highly sought-after marriage candidate in the game Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Unlike other bachelors, he possesses a unique combination of qualities that make him a popular choice among players. His carefree and kind nature, love for music and nature, and strong work ethic set him apart.

However, building a romantic relationship with Gustafa takes time and effort. Players may be curious about how to marry him in the game, including which heart events to trigger and what gifts to give. To expedite the process and reach the point of a proposal and marriage event, there are a few straightforward steps to follow.

How to Increase Gustafa's Affection and Marry Him

To win Gustafa's affection and propose to him earlier than the game's first year, players should focus on giving him gifts and showing appreciation for his interests, such as guitar-playing and nature. This should be done during and outside heart events. By doing this, Gustafa's affection levels will gradually increase. However, it is important to note that he may not immediately accept a blue feather, so players will need to wait until the end of Spring year 1 to obtain a blue feather. At this point, Gustafa's heart meter should be around 8 hearts. Players can keep track of Gustafa's affection levels in the Resident Info tab or by checking his diary inside the yurt.

Gustafa enjoys his time inside or near his yurt by the beach, preferring a leisurely start to his day. He rises at around 9 am and ventures out of his yurt by 10 am, choosing to spend the majority of his day strolling along the shores of Turtle Pond or strumming his guitar under the shade of the nearby trees. Occasionally, Gustafa may embark on a walk to the enchanting forest or explore the various buildings in town, such as the Lei-Over Inn. During these moments between heartfelt interactions, players have the opportunity to present Gustafa with gifts and commend his musical talents during their conversations. Moreover, players can fulfill any requests that Gustafa may post on the town's notice board, ensuring a sense of fulfillment and camaraderie within the community.

In Story of Seasons: A Wonderlife, there is a wide range of gifts that can be given to characters, including flowers, artifacts, and food. Among these, Gustafa has his own particular preferences. He especially enjoys receiving various types of flowers, milk, milky soup, melons, dishes like curry, and moonlight ore. However, he does not accept gifts such as fish, mushrooms, wild herbs, or certain objects from the mine, like fossils. To deepen your relationship with Gustafa, players can engage in conversations and give him gifts during the intervals between heart events. It is recommended to allow some time to pass before giving another gift.
