How to Say Goodbye: Evicting Krobus in Stardew Valley
The quirky and mysterious Krobus is a popular choice for a unique roommate in Stardew Valley. However, sometimes players find themselves wanting to move on or explore other options for their in-game living arrangements. Unlike a marriage, where divorce and its emotional baggage are involved, evicting Krobus is straightforward and relatively painless. So, how do you kick out Krobus?
The process involves a simple visit to the Mayor’s Manor. Inside, you’ll find a book; this is the same book you’d use to initiate a divorce. You can use it to evict Krobus for free. There are no ceremonies, no hard feelings, and no need to persuade him. You simply use the book, confirm your decision, and Krobus will leave your house the next morning. He goes back to his home in the sewers.
Why Evict Krobus?
While Krobus is a low-maintenance roommate, there are several reasons why you might decide to evict him:
- Wanting a Romantic Partner: Krobus, being asexual and aromantic, does not offer the same romantic experiences as marriage candidates. You cannot have a romantic relationship while Krobus is your roommate. If you wish to pursue marriage with another villager, Krobus needs to move out.
- House Space and Decoration: Krobus takes up a full room in your house and decorates it according to his own, somewhat dark, aesthetic. You might prefer a different look or need the space for another reason.
- Trying Something New: You may simply want to experience the game differently, and having Krobus as a roommate might not be conducive to the experience you seek.
- Story Purposes: You may want to try the different events and storylines of the various marriageable candidates.
Evicting Krobus doesn’t come with any negative consequences, such as reduced friendship points or guilt trips. It’s simply a change of living arrangements.
