Leo Basics

Leo lives in a tree house on the eastern side of Ginger Island. He will not speak to you until you give the parrots of the island 10 Golden Walnuts. At this point, he remains on the island, but can be spoken to, and can receive gifts.

Once you raise Leo to six hearts, he moves to Stardew Valley, and becomes friends with Linus, Jas, and Vincent. He lives in a tree house next to Linus's tent and attends school taught by Penny. His birthday is Summer 26. As a child, Leo does not make Help Wanted requests and is not involved in Quests.

Leo Schedule

Leo has a different schedule when he lives on Ginger Island and after he has moved to Stardew Valley.

On Ginger Island, he spends most of his time inside or just outside his hut. Most days, he leaves his hut and stands by the southern docks from 12PM to 3PM and the northern volcano from 3PM to 8PM. If it is raining, Leo stands just outside his hut from 11AM to 2PM and stays inside otherwise.

On Tuesdays, he instead stands by the docks from 10:30AM to 1:30PM, in the jungle by his hut from 1:30 PM to 5PM, and next to the Island Trader from 5PM to 8PM. On Sundays, he travels through the secret passage to the east of his hut and stands by the Gem Bird Shrine from 9:30AM to 2PM.

After moving to Stardew Valley, Leo attends school at the Museum on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9AM to 2PM. On Saturdays, he plays on the playground near the Community Center from 12PM to 5PM. On Thursdays and Fridays, he stands by the Mountain Lake from 9:30AM to 2PM. When Leo is not doing one of these activities, he is either inside or just outside his treehouse.

Leo continues to visit Ginger Island after moving to Stardew Valley. On Mondays, he visits the parrot near the southern docks from 9:30AM to 2PM and his hut for the rest of the day. On Sunday, he visits the southern docks from 10:30AM to 1:30PM, the Island Trader from 5PM to 8PM, and his hut for the rest of the day.

On rainy days after moving to Stardew Valley, Leo will hang out with Linus in his tent from 10AM to 3PM. He does not visit Ginger Island on rainy days. Once he's moved to the Valley, Leo attends all festivals, and will cancel his visits to Ginger Island on festival days.
