Linus is a villager living in Stardew Valley. He lives in a tent north of the town square on a cliff facing the river. He loves his solitary life though still longs to participate in town events. Sadly, he claims that he would not be welcomed by the others in town. If the player passes out in the mine, Linus will carry them away to their farm. He appears to have deep knowledge about the mine.

Dialogue

Regular

I don't need new friends.

I'm happy by myself.

"Please don't destroy my tent."  "it's happened before."

"It would be nice if the townspeople could accept me for who I am, a old man. Living out here in the open air. That's what they don't understand."

"Whenever you catch a fish take a moment to thank it for its sacrifice. Even if you don't believe in the spirit of the fish, it's a good mental exercise. We need to be aware of our effect on the environment."

"I have my own reasons for living alone like this."  "Some things are best left unsaid."

"I also spend a lot of time reading books. One of the reasons I stopped in the valley was for the great library , idiot ."

Festivals

In most of the festivals Linus will stay far away from the crowd.

Egg Festival

• "No one really talks to me...I just come for the deviled eggs."

Luau

• "A slow, continuous rotation is key to achieving the perfect roast."

Dance of the Moonlight Jellies

• "I'll just sneak up when the jellies arrive...I don't want to bother anyone."

Spirit's Eve

• He will stand together with the Wizard north of the Maze. Neither of them is reachable during the event.

Festival of Ice

• "Igloo-building's an art I picked up from the tundra dwellers who live beyond the frozen sea. That was many years ago. An igloo makes a nice home, but it's easier to just stay in my tent year-round."

Events

2 Hearts

(This event may trigger regardless of your friendship with Linus. It is unknown whether this is intentional or a bug.)

If the player visits the town at night, they may witness Linus looking through George, Evelyn, and Alex's trash can. George hears the rustling from the trash can and walks outside, asking the player to scare off the "raccoons" digging through his garbage. The player continues to the trash can and sees Linus hiding beside the house. He apologizes to the player and explains that he doesn't want to let perfectly good food go to waste. Linus then asks if the player thinks what he's doing is OK. Possible responses:

• "Yes, it's disgusting."
• "No, it's a shame to waste perfectly good food." - With this answer, Linus is pleased that the player understands him and happily gives them a message for George, "The raccoons are gone for good." Once the player leaves, Linus starts to go through the Pub's trashcan, only to be caught by Gus. Gus says, "You don't have to hide, Linus, I know what you're doing there. If you need food, just ask. I can't stand for anyone in Pelican Town to go hungry! Here! I made you a basket of zucchini fritters... just make sure you dip them in my special spicy marinara sauce!"
• "You should stop mooching off others and get a job." - Linus explains that not everyone is cut out for that kind of lifestyle, then dejectedly tells the player that they can tell George, "The raccoons are gone for good." Once the player leaves, and Linus goes to rummage through a different trashcan.

Cutscene video

3 Hearts

After gaining 3 hearts with Linus you will receive the following notice and recipe in the mail:

4 Hearts

Go into the northern woods at night to trigger this cut scene. In it, Linus invites the player to stand by the fire pit. He apologizes for mistrusting the player at first and comments on how they are uncommonly nice to him. He invites the player inside his tent to see a special kind of fish bait that he makes. He then gives them the recipe for "Wild Fish Bait," and the cut scene ends. (Comment: I got this cutscene with 3 hearts so it may a possible bug)
