50 Rare Secrets Hidden in Stardew Valley 

A while back I put the gold Lewis statue in the Saloon, behind the counter. Apparently, Lewis won't confiscate the statue if it's inside a town building, so it's still on display! The whole town gets to see it every Friday. :)

I started a new four corners farm this week and not only did I get a meteorite on night one, but it landed in the exact 2x2 spot to completely block off my south entrance until I get a gold pickaxe. I'm still reeling at the astronomical misfortune.

I don’t know how much of a secret it is but whenever you take your horse to the bus stop and go to the desert, when you come back a message pops up saying something like “your loyal horse patiently awaits your return” and I just think it’s so cute

Actually there is a chance for Marnie to "steal" the lewis statue, if you leave it somewhere in town. It will be in her room for some reason xD

I actually had the crop fairy on my very first night on a new game and I got so excited that it grew all my parsnips and potatoes that I called my mom XD

6:29 clearly the rock is lonely since there's no more pioneers to ride it for miles

My favourite Easter egg that I dont see mentioned much is that Willy congratulates you and gives you a pearl if you have a fish pond with 10 crabs on your farm. I was about to get rid of them because they had only been giving me trash, when I accidentally triggered this on the way to ginger Island. So naturally my useless trash crustaceans have a free pass now.

The spookiest thing is being attacked by the ghost of your children. If they cannot be beaten then it just adds to the karma.

9:52 Actually, this carving is a coded message, just like the ones in the skull caverns! It says “Our ancestors came from the sky but made a new home beneath stone”, which confirms a theory made by M. Jasper (a mysterious character mentioned throughout the game) in a lost book, where he theorized dwarves are actually aliens that crashed down on earth and decided to stay in caverns due to it’s similarities to their home planet’s atmosphere, only to be ridiculed by his fellow researchers. Turns out he was right all along!

You forgot to mention that the grave that Abigail builds for the monster that she kills to protect you in her 14 heart event is also marked with the symbol of yoba

Man i got the owl statue on my first night after i bought stardew valley and had no clue how rare it was, i thought everyone got it

Wow I actually didn't know that you could change the appearance of your boots! Finally I can wear the dark boots without sacrificing the stats of a better boot 👍

I like the fact that Marnie can take the gold Lewis statue. I kept stealing it from Lewis and putting it out until Marnie took it.

I propose that the fruit from which the world grew in the Book of Yoba is actually the melon. 1.) It's one of only THREE crops that can grow into a giant crop (which would be an especially fitting honor for a crop so important to the in-universe lore/religion) 2.) Unlike the tomato, it actually has a tough skin (assuming the in-game melon resembles real-life melons like cantaloupe and honeydew). Like the tomato, a (real-life) melon's skin can be peeled open by hand (even though it's tougher) and a (real-life) melon grows on vines (although this isn't terribly apparent of the in-game melon, since it's not trellised and is instead allowed to grow on the ground-- which is a viable option, as the heavy fruit would require very sturdy trellising and support slings which might not be available or practical, but having the fruits on the ground might leave them more vulnerable to pests and disease) 3.) While it DOES have a growth time of 12 days instead of 11, it's my understanding that the first day of the counter is the day while it's still a seed-- and that passage from the book of Yoba said that the seed sprouted AND THEN 11 days passed AFTERWARDS before it bore fruit It's the crop shown growing on the title screen (where you choose to start a new game or load a save file), which, again, would be an especially fitting honor for a crop so important to the in-universe lore/religion (also-- new game is represented by the sprout/vine, load save is represented by the fruit itself, and, get this, multiplayer mode... is represented by THE EARTH... which always felt kind of out-of-place with the other option's thumbnails until I considered this interpretation) (insert obligatory "thanks for coming to my TEDtalk" here)

it's not really a secret but you can actually make more of Mayor Lewis's purple shorts by taking off your pants and put staircase in the slot instead. it'll glitch and create the purple short instead. so, you can complete the task but still able to have more. i have like 999 of them in my inventory lol.

When I first played this game 4 years ago I refrained to Google or watch to much tips videos like this one. Finding the junimo plush in the hidden notes or figuring the 3 statues out was so much fun! Of course by now I have completed the game multiple times. But the first playthrough was so magical. So much hidden in this game that first just seems to be a small farming game. But especially with 1.5 it got sooo much secrets and content.

Everyone mentions Abby's room having a Chrono trigger poster, but noone mentions Sebastian having a poster of Big Earl from Toejam and Earl in his room, and that makes me sad :(

There's actually one very rare nightly event, which is the animal attack. Straight from the wiki, it says this: "After the player goes to sleep, any events that will happen during the night (such as Bundle events) are calculated as normal. If no events are due to occur, there will be a 50% chance that the game will attempt to start a wild animal attack event. If this event proceeds, the game will go through all buildings to find a barn or coop that has their doors closed and has animals left outside. For each building, the game takes a random number between 0 and 1 and compares it to 1/(the number of total farm buildings). If the random number is larger, the building is ignored. In other words, the more buildings the player has, the less likely that one will be attacked. For example, if the player has two farm buildings, each building has a 50% chance of being attacked, three buildings would give 33%, four would give 25% chance of being attacked, etc. Once a building has been chosen, the event takes the first animal stuck outside from that building to be the target of the attack. The animal will be removed from the game and in the morning, all other animals will have a mood message saying " looks stressed and paranoid today. It seems like something bad happened last night." Besides this message, the other animals are unaffected." Here's a video when how the animal attack happens alongside with a very creepy sounds that still makes me getting goosebumps.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jkcy-g7hCEs.html&ab_channel=Anna

The strange doll is also an item for the children’s bundle in the remixed community center. Does that mean one of the children’s bundle items is the ghost of a dead child?

Fun Fact: Back around 2011, CA was making the Wumbus comics. There are multiple references to these comics in the game. Including the '???' dolls, the movie, and the floating sun head, Yoba.

To be completely fair, the Book of Yoba also describes him “peeling off the tough skin”. Tomatoes are pretty gooey and peeling off the skin would lead to a mess, and idk if their skin can be described as tough. It’s more likely that it’s a type of fruit that doesn’t exist in the game yet, or in fact a completely fictional one.

I remember when the Stone Owl and Strange Capsule were so rare that people genuinely didn't know whether they actually existed as events/items in the game or were unused content lol

You know its a good game if it has at least 50 hidden secrets.

Dont forget Kent was also fed Sashimi and is a much hated item. Top 5 games of all time this Stardew is.

I was so lucky that I had a meteorite fall super early.... like late spring... and it dropped directly in front of the south entrance into the woods on the four corner map. I literally had to walk all the way around if I wanted to go south for like two whole seasons 😒

If you hit either an oak tree or maple tree in fall (i can't remember which) there is a chance for a hazelnut to drop at least on mobile

I've been obsessively playing sdv for the past 2 years and thought I knew everything but still learned a lot from this. Another good one is turning on advanced crafting in the settings will show how many of each resource you have remaining while on the crafting screen, super helpful.

On my first two save files I got the crop fairy early game. Didn't know it was that rare!

I had the crop fairy show up on my playthrough and I only had one plant that I was growing. I was so happy to see it bloom that I actually wondered where the fairy was on my second playthrough and realised that apparently it's not programmed to happy every first week. Sadness. I'd planted like 50 Strawberries.

On a rainy day I think once I opened Gus's trashcan and the lid flew off! It can be worn as a hat! Description: It's a garbage can lid 'upcycled' into a hat...( I don't know if it appears on rainy days but I think if you check every day each month it will eventually turn up.

i was keeping track of how many i knew, and i knew all of them. 700 hours of stardew was actually useful for something

The stone Junimo statue is one of my favorite easter eggs, and I get it every play through and place it somewhere random for my friends to find

The Alex one actually hit me like a truck cause I have never gotten past a heart or two with him :(

Actually the world starting with a tomato is also referred in the opening screen, because if I'm not mistaken the crop that is shown in the option to start a new farm is also a tomato

1:45 you can also get gold-trimmed shorts if you try to equip a staircase as a hat :)

Wow, I saw the sea monster in the water on my very first play session on Stardew Valley. I believe it was the first time I tried fishing. Lucky!

What’s crazy is no one’s noticed Yoba is just A boy backwards. Yoba is the dev, and the coding he had to jumble through was the fruit, his knowledge of it he was able to take the fruit and see the world - the world of stardew.

This channel is amazing and has super high quality videos! You are the reason that I found stardew valley and have enjoyed it so much! You helped me get year 1 community center and a sense of direction on my progress. Thank you for the amazing content!

YOBA! There’s dialogue with Emily that says “may the spirits of Yoba bless you on this beloved day” holding The Yoba thing. If you are Married with her

The stone owl event is cool. Owlbert is my go to name and the farm is owl farm. Nice. Thanks for the tips, great video as always.

Only the center tile of melon cauliflower or pumpkin needs to be grown to create a giant crop. You can have a melon surrounded by melon seeds and it could turn into a giant melon

I knew most of these, but there will still around 10 I didnt know! Very interesting to see all these secrets

After watching this all I can think of is how lucky Gab truly was during her play through 😂

7:04 That's actually really adorable I like to think Caroline befriended and named the slime and taught him how to speak

I pretty much knew none of these! Very cool, I will have to come back to this video when I do my next SDV playrthrough

This is an awesome video, thank you so much, I'm going to get all the weird statues now!!

I got two stone owl events. The second one hid it in a secret path to grandpa's shrine on the forest farm. Very sneaky, I went days without finding it

The owl one! I have a bunch of stone statues that i bought over time and thought i just forgot i had bought that one. Never thought itd me a rarer event

I've gotten the stone owl twice, lol. But I am going for that junimo statue, I love all things junimo, they are my gods lol.

If you didn't know, there is a small chance that the trash can lid will fly off when you're digging through it, and you can wear it as a hat. It happened to me recently for the first time, and that's how I found out.

Kent apparently says the same about the warp totems

This is a great video! I genuinely learned some new things, despite knowing too much already

thank you for the Lewis tips now I know everything about Lewis and Marnie 😳😳

I didn’t think much about it till I realized that not one but two owl statues spawned on my farm. Not only that but I got the alien capsule, and the ufo profit screen and the witch in the same day of playing

this may be a weird compliment but I really like your voice! Its honestly really soothing! Anyways, great video! I love just these types of videos about games I love

Didn't know some of them, thanks!

wow! the tomatoes and coded messages are something new to me, thank you for this video!

this is ur first vid that i watch,i was entertained and surprised,im subscribing:>

omg the children!! 8:40 my cousin feels bad about turning her kids into doves as she thought only one would have turned so now i can make her watch the TV on that specific day and tell her to erase her ex husbands name and when she goes she'll be attacked🤣😭 this is great yet morbid, love it

Your spouse has a chance of changing the wallpaper and flooring in your house (not counting you basement)

This game is just amazing. There are so many little surprises.

I got the owl statue and the alien incubator both about 3 times each. The meteorite is something I got ince a year at my first few years in game.

I saw the scary thing walking at night between trees by bridge one night (30 play throughs and only saw it once) it actually really made me scream outloud

Love the videos! Was wondering on how you got the cowboy boots because I want me to have a pair and I have never seen them before. Thanks and keep up the great work.

I genuinely never leave comments on anything but thanks for the effort put into this good job man

7:22 I had it once while I was fishing and had a mind fck because at the time I had no idea it could appear now that I find out how rare it is i'm kinda proud of myself

Dude the “Sacrificing children to the void and having their spirits haunt you” thing was SO out of pocket im still shook LMAO.

small tip for fellow fishing pioneers: fish by the lonely rock. stand on the right side facing the rock, and and let the natural bait do its work. yw

My sister got the stone owl event during her first spring when we got the game. I didn’t realise how lucky that was till now

This was great!! Thank you!

Been watching your stardewvalley videos. Thanks for having my back once again salmence hehe : ). Keep on killing it 🌟 ~ 📝📝📝📝

Oh wow, I got a stone owl on day 16 of Spring Year 1... Didn't know it was that special! I also got the strange Capsule....

One thing that's crazy, on my first playthrough I got the hanging wall basket twice in a row,my first time fishing in The secret Forest because I was going for the community center bundle

Oh my gosh that explains the weird owl that showed up, I was genuinely so confused 😂

I love the detail CA has put into this game fr

You can also get the necklace from the pond outside the spa. This is hinted in secret note 25

My favourite secret is that I have never played Stardew Valley and probably never will do either, I just watch these videos of yours because they're relaxing

The junimo plush was my absolute favorite surprise, I got it like an hour ago and I couldn’t believe it, my boyfriend will love it when I show him later today :)

so cool I would have never thought there was so much to this game

Me and my friend actually got the strange capsule around day 18 spring, year one. We also managed to get the stone owl day three. It was pretty funny. (This was on the standard farm on nintendo switch)

8:16 I felt that 🖤😎

Thank you so much!!

I actually didnt know about the boot trick! Ive been playing for about 5 years now and i always wanted the iridium boot stats for the cute winter boots

I had a save that I got the stone owl event 3 times in a row, all in the first season of the first year!!

i love this video thanks for the stardew tips

Omgg I didn’t know about the owl! I have one!

I've been playing Stardew Valley on my own (I'm on my 2nd year), but I left aside that game and started playing with my bf on another one. We're on winter year 1 and so far we got the meteorite, the owl statue and the fairy. I was so excited when I saw them but I didn't know they were so rare 😶

Oh yeah! That sweet Calming voice Made my day 😊

in Sebastian's Room you can find a picture of the farmer from a variety of Harvest moon titles on the wall above his PC.

Last time I played Stardew Valley it was like 4 or 5 years ago and dear lord so much has changed according to this video, really makes me want to pick it up again lol

a lot of these were new to me. i've never heard any mention of the sea monsters anywhere

You torn my heart open about the letter from Alex's mom. I never knew about it. 😢

I watched this video and THE NEXT NIGHT in game I got the owl event statue. I would have been so confused if I hadn't watched this vid. Also thought it was really neat how I got it despite it being a .5% chance and immediately after watching this. Lol +New Sub

Ok that one with Alex’s mom made me cry holy shit

HEY I DIDNT KNOW THE STONE OWL THING IS RARE !! i got it on my first playthrough and just assumed everyone got it haha

If your inventory is full, when you go to get the Junimo plush at noon at the end of each season, if your inventory is full, you can collect multiple junimo plushes for as long as it says 12 on the clock I managed to get six by swapping them out for trash in my inventory

Those shoes at the end had me cackling

Never play this game before but it seem nice to give it a try

gosh, concernape is really a great gamer and a great storyteller at the same time

I remember marnie saying that and I never new it was rare because I usually skip the dialogue. I wonder if it will happen again.
