Secrets
This page lists many of the secrets discovered in Stardew Valley.
Intro
When the game is loading, where it shows ConcernedApe's logo, click on it and the glasses will pop, eyes will open, and a duck/splat sound will be heard.
Title
On the title menu of the game, click the letter "E" in "Stardew" ten (10) times to see an alien open a door behind the letter. It will smile and wave for two seconds before it fades away.
Clicking on any of the leaves, for a total of 10 clicks will cause 3 junimos to appear in the logo and wave at you.
"Favorite Thing"
Entering ConcernedApe as the favorite thing when creating a character results in some additional text when consuming a Stardrop.
Shipping Screen
A few rare animations can be seen in the background of the Shipping screen at the end of the day depending on certain conditions.
- On the 25th of Winter, Santa Claus can be seen with a few reindeer crossing the top of the screen.
- If it is not the 12th or 28th and it did not rain, there is a 0.001% chance of a UFO crossing the top of the screen.
Lonely Stone
The lonely stone is not an area, but it has a location on the Stardew Valley map. Upon clicking the lonely stone on the map, a rock sound effect will play.
The lonely stone also hasn't been mentioned by any villagers/characters nor is there any lore about it hidden in game files or mentioned by ConcernedApe. Note: After clicking on the lonely stone and around the time when the rock sound effect is played, the map screen will close entirely and will resume to before you opened the map.
Skull Cavern Plaques
The plaques that can occasionally be found on the walls of the Skull Cavern have been found to contain text encoded by a cipher.
The plaques that are found on the rough walled levels have been deciphered to give the following.
| “ | “we are
cursed too much iridium” |
This may be a reference to the Purple Slimes that can drop Iridium Ore that are frequently found in large numbers at these levels.
The plaques on the walls of the levels inhabited by Mummies has been deciphered to give the following.
| “ | “wizard
sealed us in this prison until the day a hero puts us to rest” |
This may or may not refer to the Wizard who lives in Cindersap Forest.
Locked boxes
If you look at the first letters inside the incomprehensible book from the library (see Lost Books), you can read these sentences:
- super cucumber town
- duck mayo saloon
- strange bun toy box
This suggests you to use the mentioned items on boxes located in the mentioned places:
If a Super Cucumber is placed in the brown box located inside the fenced area north of the Blacksmith, you will receive the 32px ??HMTGF?? statue.
If Duck Mayonnaise is placed in the partially-hidden metal box in the back room of the The Stardrop Saloon, you will receive the 32px ??Pinky Lemon?? statue.
If a Strange Bun is placed in the chest inside Vincent's room, at 1 Willow Lane, you will receive the 32px ??Foroguemon?? statue.
Galaxy Sword
After finding and donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the Museum, the player receives the Dwarvish Translation Guide. If the player proceeds to the Graveyard, one of the previously unreadable tombstones can now be read.
| “ | “You translate the dwarvish: Stand between the pillars three With gift as precious as the sky: A rainbow forged from land, not sea Then galaxies will heed your cry” |
This points the player towards The Desert and the set of three pillars to the Northeast. Stepping into the center of the pillars while holding a Prismatic Shard will cause the shard to be transformed into the Galaxy Sword.
Junimo Plush
Junimo Plush is a decorative piece of furniture. It is only obtainable by checking a bush north of the playground in town on the 28th day of any season, at 12:00 pm.

Rare Dialogue
When entering Marnie's shop, there is a 0.01% chance for her to say
| “ | “*sigh*... When the door opened I thought it might be Lewis.” |
When entering Robin's shop, there is a chance for her to say
| “ | “Lew...? Oh...” |
Notes
- For each of the locked boxes, or when obtaining the Galaxy Sword, ensure only a single item is being held. If a stack is held, the entire stack will be consumed.
- The title screen easter egg that spawns junimo's after 10 leaf clicks was originally found in the source for the 1.1 beta, but may have been present in earlier versions.
