Coral Island – Bachelorette Romance Guide (Updated)
The brightly lit and vibrant farming and life sim Coral Island is finally out of Early Access and in the wild as version 1.0! If you’ve played Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon you’re going to feel completely familiar with the mechanics of the game. To grow crops, raise livestock, make friends and revitalize a town. This time though we’re on a gorgeous tropical island and you’ll not just take care of the town but the coral reefs as well.
Being on a tropical island gives the whole game a different feel than that of Stardew Valley. There are tons of different types of crops and animals as well as people that call the island home. Right now living on Coral Island 70 islanders call this place home and are relying on you to help save the environment.
And of those 70 islanders are 28 gorgeous eligible bachelorettes and bachelors for you to befriend, fall in love with and maybe even start a family with! In this guide, we’ll go through all the eligible bachelorettes on Coral Island. Where they live, their favourite items and things that they hate.
Disclaimer: This article has been updated and re-released since its last post on the 21st of November 2022. Coral Island came out officially from Early Access on November 14th 2023.
How To Romance Characters
Just like most life sim games, you’ll be able to romance your characters after first being good friends with them. To do this you’ll need to increase their heart meter, which will start off from zero hearts and be able to go up to eight for friends. Do this by simply greeting them every day and giving them gifts of their favourite items. Other specific events such as seasonal, town etc. will also contribute to improving your relationship level with them.
Once your heart levels have gone up with these characters you’ll be able to unlock Heart Events. Heart events are cutscenes and interactions that occur at different points in your relationship level. For example, reaching 4 hearts or 8 hearts will trigger a Heart Event. These occur at various intervals per character, though usually about every two hearts.
How To Get Married
The maximum number of hearts you can reach with a friend is eight hearts, once you’ve reached that point you can then consider confessing to start dating them. This will unlock two more hearts on the relationship meter for you to gain.
At this point, you’re able to date and continue increasing the relationship affection of all the eligible marriage candidates. However, once you confess and agree to marry someone you can only marry one at a time. To marry a character, you’ll have to have reached ten hearts with them. And after witnessing all of their heart events, you’ll be able to propose to them and get married.
Gift Giving
There are a couple of shared things that the townspeople of Coral Island universally dislike and hate. Most of it being building materials, for some reason Canola Oil and Wheat Flour? Also Bombs everyone hates bombs. Here’s what you probably just shouldn’t give to anyone, unless stated otherwise in the lists below.
| Universal Loves | Pink Diamond, Golden Pearl, Rainbow Wool |
| Universal Dislikes | Artefacts, Beach Scavengeables, Building Materials, Fertilizer, Fish, Geodes, Grass, Grains, Insects, Kelp, Metal Bars, Ores, Canola Oil, Cotton, Grass, Wheat Flour |
| Universal Hates | Bombs, Dinosaur Bones, Farming Equipment, Fodder, Garbage, Ore, Seeds |
Of course, along with universal item dislikes are universal likes. You normally can’t go wrong with flowers (sans Charles), gems or artisanal products. Unless stated otherwise. The items will be more specific in the list below.
Universal Likes: Artisan Goods, Cooked Dishes, Flowers, Fruit, Gems, Vegetables
