The '''Spirit's Eve''' [[Festivals|festival]] takes place on the 27th of [[Fall]] every year. The player enters the festival by entering [[Pelican Town]] between 10:00 pm and 11:50 pm (note that at 11:50 pm it is too late to enter), and upon leaving the festival, the player is returned to [[The Farm]] at 12:00 am.  
  
The festival features a maze where it is possible to obtain the [[Golden Pumpkin]]. [[Pierre]] has set up a shopping booth where the player can purchase festive items including a [[Scarecrow#Rarecrows|rarecrow]], a [[Jack-O-Lantern]], and the Jack-O-Lantern recipe.

The festival features a maze where the [[Golden Pumpkin]] can be obtained. According to townsfolk rumours, the maze was supposedly created by the [[Wizard]]. [[Pierre]] has a shopping booth where the player can purchase festive items including a [[Scarecrow#Rarecrows|rarecrow]], a [[Jack-O-Lantern]], and the Jack-O-Lantern recipe.
 
 
The maze is located to the north of Pierre's festive shop. The maze has few dead ends and progresses in a nearly linear fashion. The player has as much time as needed to navigate to the finish. Towards the end of the maze, in the northwest corner of the map, the player must walk through a block of hedge to the left of a wooden sign with a question mark. Once through, the player must go north through an open cavern and continue east to get to the [[Golden Pumpkin]]. According to townsfolk rumours, the maze was supposedly created by the [[Wizard]].
 
 
 
Unlike many other events, there are no contests or challenges to finish, apart from completing the maze. Leaving Pelican Town ends the festival and returns you to [[The Farm]] at midnight.

==Haunted Maze==
The haunted maze is set up by M. Rasmodius, the [[Wizard]]. The villagers say he was so committed to creating a frightening maze that it took him all day to set it up. The [[Wizard]] cannot be reached, but in the game's data files he has dialog that says "The affairs of mundane folk matter little to me, but the elementals like a chance to see you up close. It was for them that I created this silly maze." [[Linus]], who stands at the Wizard's side, only says "Good show, old friend."

Like all mazes, the "keep going left" mentality is present here. Just keep on going left; it isn't a huge maze. It may be worth it to stop and talk to the characters, as some of the dialogue can be amusing.

The trick to reaching the end is to take the secret passage, which begins just underneath and to the left of the "?" signpost, and then continues to the right inside the cave to the North.

The maze layout alternates between years: A fairly simple maze wherein players can earn a [[Golden Pumpkin]] appears in odd years, while a more complex and larger maze with the reward of a [[Prize Ticket]] appears in even years.

In the hedges behind the chicken-legged house there are three secret passages to the right of the sign. Only the middle one leads the player into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Prize Ticket.

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.

Spirits Eve.png

The Spirit's Eve festival takes place on the 27th of Fall every year. The player enters the festival by entering Pelican Town between 10:00 pm and 11:50 pm (note that at 11:50 pm it is too late to enter), and upon leaving the festival, the player is returned to The Farm at 12:00 am.

The festival features a maze where the Golden Pumpkin can be obtained. According to townsfolk rumours, the maze was supposedly created by the Wizard. Pierre has a shopping booth where the player can purchase festive items including a rarecrow, a Jack-O-Lantern, and the Jack-O-Lantern recipe.

Haunted Maze

The haunted maze is supposedly set up by M. Rasmodius, the Wizard. The villagers say he was so committed to creating a frightening maze that it took him all day to set it up.

A large majority of the townspeople are either frightened or confused by the maze (especially Abigail, who can't continue because she cannot walk past spiders). Jodi does not allow Vincent to go in the maze because it is "too scary for children". However, in the second year maze, Vincent goes in the maze with Sam and Abigail does not participate.

Surviving the Haunted Maze

Like all mazes, the "keep going left" mentality is present here. Just keep on going left; it isn't a huge maze. It may be worth it to stop and talk to the characters, as some of the dialogue can be amusing.

The maze layout alternates between years: A fairly simple maze wherein players can earn a Golden Pumpkin appears in odd years, while a more complex and larger maze with the reward of a Prize Ticket appears in even years. Players can quickly exit the maze after reaching the treasure chest by using a "secret shortcut" mine cart, exiting to the entrance of the maze next to Pierre's booth.

Odd Years

The trick to reaching the end is to take the secret passage, which begins just underneath and to the left of the "?" signpost, and then continues to the right inside the cave to the North. It weaves to the left and right, which requires a little bit of blind navigation. Wearing a ring which provides light, such as the Glow Ring, will allow the player to track their movement more easily. They will exit down into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Golden Pumpkin.

Even Years

Again, a secret passage begins just underneath and to the left of the first "?" signpost. Following the path to the end, passing Sebastian, an unmarked secret passage is located at the top right of the maze. This continues over to the section with Sam and Vincent. In the hedges behind the chicken-legged house there are three secret passages to the right of the sign. Only the middle one leads the player into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Prize Ticket.
