If you've just rolled into town in Moonlight Peaks, you’ve likely already crossed paths with Ridge. As the local lumberjack and carpenter, he’s one of the first faces you'll see, and he's essential for getting your farm up and running. Whether you need new buildings or equipment upgrades, he’s your guy—and, as it turns out, he’s a great candidate for romance, too.

Getting to Know Ridge

Ridge is a key member of the local community. He is the younger brother of Brook, the father of Ludo, and the uncle of Saga. Beyond his family ties, he’s known for his helpful nature. He’s the person responsible for fixing your roof, constructing your farm buildings, and even crafting the altar for your wedding. He is a genuinely kind character, and for many players, his helpful personality and rugged look make him a top choice for a partner.

How to Romance Ridge

Yes, Ridge is a fully romanceable character. If you want to pursue a relationship with him, keep the following milestones in mind:

  • Four Hearts: Once you hit this milestone, you can begin asking him out on dates.
  • Eight Hearts: At this level, you can pop the question.

If he accepts, you’ll have a beautiful wedding ceremony attended by the town's vampires and werewolves. Just a word of advice: don't leave him waiting at the altar. While the game's reactions to being stood up can be humorous, it’s a bit of a mean move. After you are married, Ridge will move onto your farm. While you cannot have children together, you do gain Ludo as a stepson.

The Best Gifts for Ridge

Strengthening your bond with Ridge is easiest if you bring him the right items. He isn't a fan of his own professional materials, so avoid giving him ore or ingots. Instead, focus on these items:

  • Loved: Beer
  • Liked: Freshly squeezed juice, picked wildflowers

Mark your calendar for Autumn 18, which is Ridge’s birthday. Giving him a gift on this day is a great way to earn extra relationship points.

Where to Find Ridge

If you need a building upgrade or just want to chat, you can usually find Ridge at the Howling Hammer. He is there between 6pm and 12am, Monday through Friday. If he isn't at the shop, check The Broken Lamp, the local tavern, where he often goes to enjoy a drink. If you are ever having trouble tracking him down, check your map for his character icon.
