Rotten Plant.png  Warning: Spoilers  Rotten Plant 2.png

This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section.

Golden Walnut
Blank icon.png
To the parrots of Ginger Island, this nut is the finest delicacy.
Information
Source Farming • Mining • Foraging • Combat • Fishing • Digging • Breaking Golden Coconuts
Location Ginger Island • Blacksmith
"Parrots" redirects here. For the parrot found in Pelican Town, see Emily's 4-heart event.

Golden Walnuts are the currency of the parrots on Ginger Island. The amount of Golden Walnuts that a player has saved is displayed directly above the wallet in the skills tab. Walnuts are shared amongst players in Multiplayer.

The player can find a total of 130 Golden Walnuts scattered on the island, by exploration, killing monsters, farming, fishing, mining, breaking crates in the Volcano Dungeon, etc.

Qi's Room is unlocked only when a save file records that 100 Golden Walnuts have been earned (in total), not the moment that the 100th walnut is found.

Parrot Hints

When you interact with the parrot in Leo's hut, it squawk hints for more walnut locations. Hints update as the player progresses - quantities change to reflect only unfound walnuts, and hints to walnuts that have already been found no longer appear.

1 Golden Coconut Golden Coconuts, found anywhere on Ginger Island, can be brought to the Blacksmith back in Stardew Valley to be opened. The first time Clint opens one, it produces a Golden Walnut.

5 Fishing A maximum of five Golden Walnuts can be obtained by fishing anywhere on Ginger Island.

1 Exploration A walnut in a bush is found in the jungle on the path towards Leo's hut.

3 Puzzle Place a Banana on the altar by the staircase to Leo's hut. A gorilla appears and rewards the player with 3 walnuts.

1 Puzzle Hit the tree inside Leo's hut with an axe.
Walnuteastleohut.png
1 Exploration From the foot of the stairs to Leo's hut, follow the path eastward along a hidden passage to the Gem Bird Shrine. There is a walnut to the south of the shrine.
Walnuteasthiddenshrine.png
5 Puzzle There are four bird statues at the center of the Gem Bird Shrine. Each bird statue is associated with a particular Ginger Island area, as hinted by the carved picture at its base (volcano = north, waves = south, palm tree = east, heart = west).

On rainy days, a single Gem Bird appears in one randomly-selected region of the island (North, South, East, or West). Approaching the Gem Bird causes it to fly away, dropping a gemstone as it does so. The player must collect this gemstone and place it on the bird statue at the shrine that corresponds to the island region in which the Gem Bird appeared.

Gem Birds always appear in at the specific location for their associated island region:

  • North: South of the Island Field Office Tent.
  • East: In the middle of the path in the jungle towards Leo's hut.
  • South: To the southwest of the beach near the docks.
  • West: West across the river from the farm, east of Birdie's Hut, at the pond.

There are five possible gems: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Ruby, and Topaz.

Once the final gemstone is placed, the shrine activates and rewards the player with 5 golden walnuts, completing the puzzle and fulfilling all the related game requirements. The puzzle cannot be completed again to obtain more walnuts, although the statues may still (incorrectly) display plus signs while the player is holding a valid gem near one. Gem birds still appear and drop gems on rainy days even after the puzzle is solved, giving the player the option to collect and keep them, as desired.

Note: The puzzle solution is randomized per game.

5 Harvesting Harvesting crops on the Ginger Island farm occasionally yields golden walnuts, up to a total of 5.
Walnut Harvest.png
15 Puzzle After the farmhouse is repaired, the player may talk to the Gourmand Frog. The frog then asks the player to grow a Melon, a Wheat, and a Garlic, in that order. When a crop is mature, leave it unharvested and talk to the frog again to show him the crop. The reward is 5 golden walnuts per crop. Harvest each crop after receiving its reward. The three crops yield a total of 15 walnuts.

Note: All three crops may be planted at the same time, but they must be presented to the frog in order and cannot be harvested until the frog has seen them and rewarded the player.

Notes

The parrot in Leo's hut provides hints for 123 out of 130 walnut locations with the exception of:

  • 1 on the southern bush in the Gem Birds shrine area
  • 3 for placing a banana on the altar in the east, by the staircase to Leo's hut
  • up to 3 rewarded for winning the Darts Game.

Bugs

Occasionally the game may miscount the number of Golden Walnuts obtained, leaving the count at 129/130, when all walnuts have actually been found. The workaround is to open a chat window (with ? or T on PC) and enter /recountnuts.
