Welcome to Elderfield Edwin: Schedule, Gifts and House

Edwin is one of the nine main villagers, and he is easy to walk past. His house has a lit porch light, which is the only thing that separates his unit from the rest of the row. He is also the villager the Dark One storyline runs through, so most players meet him through a puzzle rather than through a gift.

Who Edwin is

Edwin is Ellie’s neighbour in the north-west part of Town. He asks you for the four sacred numbers of the Dark One, and he talks about putting his skin back on to get hired. That line is why he reads as strange rather than simply rude.

He is a friendship target like everyone else. Four hearts unlocks his school adventure, and ten hearts keeps him in the running for a proposal if that is the route you are taking.

Edwin’s daily schedule

His week is regular enough to plan around.

Time	Where to look
Weekday daytime	Town, the Mall entrance, or near the Task Board
Weekday, sewer days	The Sewers, near the exit to the Lakefront
Sunday	Church, both day and evening
Weekday evening	The Elderfield Saloon
Night, rain or snow	Home
Any day he visits the Farm	He stays at the Farm until midnight

Two habits matter more than the table. Rain and snow send him home, so a wet day is not a gifting day. If you find him somewhere during the day, he may simply stay there, which makes a sighting worth acting on straight away.

The sewer line is the one to remember if you fish underground. He stands near the Lakefront exit, so a fishing trip with maggot bait doubles as a gifting run.

Where Edwin’s house is

His house sits to the left of the bus stop in north-west Town. He lives on the left-hand side of the unit, and the lit porch light marks the door. That light also solves the search problem on dark evenings, because the rest of the row is unlit.

What Edwin asks you for

Edwin is tied to the four sacred numbers of the Dark One. He is the villager who raises the question, and the answer is 5930. If you are working through that puzzle, the numbers page carries the clue locations and the reasoning.

He is not a quest giver in the demo build. His role is conversation and gifts, not contracts.

Edwin’s gift tiers

Edwin loves divine drops. His disliked list is unusual, because one of them is a divine item that other villagers like.

Tier	Items
Loved	Godflesh, Godscale, Gorgon’s Eye, Pale Empress Moth, Beating Heart, Soul Fruit, Void Crystal Bar, Shadewing Moth, Golden Mushroom, Crimson Die, Aged Goat Cheese of any kind, Void Sphere, Greater Moon Crystal
Liked	Celery, Eyeball, Iron Bar, Leather, Vegetable Cocktail, Bubble-Tea, Cup of Coffee, Bone Honey, Pumpkin Pie, Strange Fruit, Spiritwood, Void Plum
Hated	Blood of the Gods, Holy Water (L/G), Pearlfish, Odd Sandwich, Bloody Skin, Tentacle, Spiralberry, Starfish, Goat Horn, cursed bone family
Neutral	Bones, Crushed Bones, Gravemoss, Salt, Coal, Paper, Bonefish, Wax Tooth

The trap in that table is Blood of the Gods. It is a divine drop, and Ellie likes it, so it is exactly the item a player would hand to the most god-themed villager in the game. Edwin hates it.

Two of his loved items are fishing drops. Godflesh and Godscale both roll from the fishing treasure table, which makes an hour at the water a cheap way to keep him supplied. Celery is an 85g crop, so his liked tier is affordable early.

The community wiki records a shorter loved list for Edwin, built around Viscera, Bone Fragments, Bones, Demon Skull and Skull. The two lists overlap on bones and cursed material but are not identical.

Edwin as a Cleansing Balm source

Visiting Edwin is one of the ways the game hands out Cleansing Balm. Farmer Hans and the travelling farmer are the other two sources. So Edwin is worth a weekly stop even when you have nothing worth gifting.

You can give two gifts per character per week. The social tab records every reaction, so an early experiment with a cheap item teaches you more than a guess.

Sources

His home and the schedule fragments are recorded in both community wikis. The full loved, liked, hated and neutral tiers come from one community wiki and are marked as a single source above.

FAQ

Why can’t I find Edwin on a rainy day?

Rain and snow send him home. Check the unit with the lit porch light in north-west Town.

What should I give Edwin early?

Celery is cheap and sits in his liked tier. Bones are neutral, so do not spend a loved-tier item on a routine visit.

Is Edwin a quest giver?

No. He raises the four sacred numbers question, but he does not hand out contracts.
