Harvest Moon®: Echoes of Teradea Hank, marriage candidate
Last updated 2026-10-18. Checked against the sources below.
Hank is a base-game bachelor in Quarrytop Village. Birthday: Winter 11. Favorite gift: Coal Box. The first heart event requires 1 heart after Quarrytop Chapter 1. The tables below give Neoseeker's reported preferences and event triggers, recorded on 18 October 2026.
Birthday and gifts
| Detail | Reported value |
|---|---|
| Birthday | Winter 11 |
| Favorite | Coal Box |
| Liked gifts | Pumpkin, Amethyst |
| Disliked gifts | Chickpea, Savoy Spinach, Green Salad |
| Source | Neoseeker: gifts and birthdays |
These are item-specific preferences, not blanket rules for crops, flowers or fish. Neoseeker reports one gift per person per day; liked gifts give twice the friendship of a neutral gift, favorites three times. On a birthday, a non-disliked gift counts as a favorite. This is guide-sourced data, not our own playtest.
Six heart events: requirements, locations and times
The first event opens after Quarrytop Chapter 1, not simply after meeting Hank. Neoseeker says each new heart level sends a letter and further friendship waits for that event. Read the letter, track its request and follow the musical-note marker.
Events 1 and 3 start by talking to the candidate. The other rows are meeting triggers, not the destination of every scene. For events 5 and 6, first give a Token of Love after event 4.
| Event | Requirement | Trigger location / action | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart event 1 | 1 heart; after Quarrytop Chapter 1 | Talk to Hank | No separate time window listed |
| Heart event 2 | 2 hearts | Cave entrance identified by the event map marker | 09:00-16:00 |
| Heart event 3 | 3 hearts | Talk to Hank | No separate time window listed |
| Heart event 4 | 4 hearts | Same marked cave entrance as event 2 | 18:00-23:00 |
| Heart event 5 | 5 hearts; Token of Love | Quarrytop Village entrance | 09:00-16:00 |
| Heart event 6 | 6 hearts; Token of Love | Quarrytop Village entrance | 09:00-16:00 |
Source: Neoseeker: Quarrytop heart events, read on 18 October 2026. Neoseeker says bad weather cancels most outdoor meetings; events 1-4 wait during festivals in this candidate's town, while events 5-6 wait during festivals anywhere. A row without a time is not proof of 24-hour availability.
Where to find Hank outside events
Quarrytop Village is the sourced home location. The event table gives specific meeting points and windows, not a daily walking timetable. Weekday, weekend, rainy-day and post-story routines were not verified in the sources checked on 18 October 2026.
Background and main-story appearances
Hank came to Quarrytop as a treasure hunter and adventurer and did not leave.
His personal romance sequence includes cave expeditions. Use the event marker and time windows above rather than treating every mining quest as a heart event.
Rules that apply to every candidate, including Hank
- You can marry any candidate regardless of your gender.
- You cannot marry the protagonist you are playing. The other protagonist remains eligible: Robert when you play Carol, or Carol when you play Robert. That leaves 9 eligible partners from the 10-name roster.
- The ceremony itself waits until after the staff roll.
- Neoseeker lists a Token of Love after heart event 4, followed by events 5 and 6. Tiny crafts it at the Harvest Goddess Statue Altar using 10 Red Rose and 10 Diamond; the recipe unlocks the next morning after anyone's fourth event, provided Harvest Goddess Chapter 1 is complete.
- For a proposal, Neoseeker requires heart event 6, a Level 3 house, the Blue Feather from the end of Harvest Goddess Chapter 2, and no prior proposal to someone else. Hold the feather and give it to your lover.
Source checks
I read Neoseeker’s complete Quarrytop romance page on 18 October 2026. Its cave-event marker is more useful than guessing a cave name; the source does not supply coordinates or a daily walking schedule. These details retain the earlier source reading from this date. A later HTTP recheck of the six Neoseeker references returned security-check pages (403), so that pass is not an independent confirmation.
