Stardew Valleyhas lots of achievements for players to earn - they cannot all be earned in one playthrough, as the game has two separate routes for players to take. The 1.6 update has finally made it to the console and mobile versions of the game, which has come with nine new achievements alongside its new content. There is lots to explore in this famously cozy farming simulator.
A lot of players make it a point to earn every achievement in their favorite games - this ranking will detail them all, listed in order from easiest to hardest to attain. While some players may believe the update will make perfection harder to achieve than ever before, this may not actually be the case.Stardew Valley’s latest achievements are spread throughout the game, and diligent players should have no problem getting even the most complex ones.
9An Unforgettable Soup
Delight The Governor
There are so many achievements inStardew Valleythat even the game’s developer, ConcernedApe, only reached perfection in October 2024. The “An Unforgettable Soup” Achievement is earned at the Luau festival, which takes place between 9AM to 2PM on the 11th day of every Summer. Part of this celebration is the soup potluck, where all the members of Pelican Town contribute ingredients to a massive soup, which is then tasted by the Governor, who visits every year for this celebration. to earn this achievement,players need to make a soup that will delight the governor.
To do so, all that is necessary is toadd edible items of the best quality to the Luau soup.Summer is the second season ofStardew Valley, and players will more than likely have acquired a gold- or idirium-quality item from farming, fishing, or foraging at this point in the game - so out of all the new 1.6 achievements, this is the easiest, granted players have held onto some of these items. High quality wines will also delight the Governor when added to the soup, though usually players will have to reach level eight in farming to create them.
8Blue Ribbon
Win The Stardew Valley Fair
The “Blue Ribbon” Achievement is also event-specific, and can be earned on the 16th of Fall at the Stardew Valley Fair. to achieve it, players need to get first place in the Grange Display Competition. Upon entering the town, players will notice a row of displays, with one empty - this is where they can add up to nine items to create their own display. In order to win this competition,players need a total of 90 points.
Stardew Valley Creator Says They’ll Never Give Up On The Game, And Hopes Fans Never Will Either
Stardew Valley creator shares the love he still has for the popular game, as well as taking the time to elaborate on new projects he is working on.
They can earn more points by making sure that they haveavariety of items added to their Grange displayfrom different areas of the game - e.g. vegetables, fruits, minerals, fish, cooking, animal products, artisan goods, or foraged items.It is only necessary to include six of these, though, as each category represented earns the player up to five points to a maximum of 30. Up to eight points can then be earned depending on the quality and selling price of individual items. Again, most players will not have to go out of their way to collect the required items.
7A Distant Shore
Reach Ginger Island
This achievement is earned byvisiting Ginger Island, which becomes available late in the game after completing the Community Center or Joja contracts. to reach the island,players first need to repair Willy’s Boat- this requires 200Hardwood, 5Iridium Barsand 5Battery Packs. It will then cost the player 1,000g for a two-way ticket to and from Ginger Island.
Earning the “A Distant Shore” achievement is straightforward in theory, but players can only claim it after progressing past most of the early game. Even after the completion of the Community Center or going down the JojaMart route,players also need to gather materials that may still be difficult to acquire - especially Iridium.However, earning this achievement is extremely worthwhile and is a great reward for players desiring more content and areas.
6Good Neighbors
Help The Raccoon Family
Although it’s quite tedious, the “Good Neighbors” achievement is positively adorable. After building the greenhouse, each day there is a 10% chance of a tree falling down in the Cindersap forest, where players can reconstruct the trunk into a small house. The next day, a raccoon will move into the house, and he will make a request for two items.These items are not the same for every playthrough, but will be in the same category. Soon after, another raccoon will move in - his wife. They will continue to request items each week as they start to have children.
Beyond Fifth Request
The main thing which makes this difficult to achieve is thatthere are seven days between each task, and since there are nine in total, it will always take more than two months to complete, at the least. Unlike the materials needed for Willy’s boat, the items needed also differ in each game and cannot be accurately predicted. The event which kickstarts the raccoon requests also depends on the completion of the greenhouse, which is done through completing Community Center bundles or paying for it to be restored through the Jojamart.
5Two-Thumbs Up
Watch A Movie
The “Two Thumbs Up” Achievement is another available after the completion of the Community Center or Joja contracts. It is earned after watching a movie, which sounds rather straightforward, but the steps that need to be taken in order to do so make it late game material. After collectingall the bundles for the Community Center, there is actually one secret bundle remaining called “The Missing Bundle.“This is one of the most difficult bundles to complete, but will construct a movie theater in Pelican Town. Alternatively, players can construct it for a massive 500,000g on the Joja route.
There are a total of eight movies to see, and players can bring a friend or NPC with them. To complete the bundle needed for the theater, the requirements are an ancient fruit of gold or iridium quality, caviar, dinosaur mayonnaise, a prismatic shard, a void salmon, and any high quality wine. Though the actual part of seeing a movie is easy, only costing the purchase of a ticket for 1,000g,players need to go out of their way to have the movie theater present in the town in the first place.
4Well-Read
As the name implies, “Well-Read” is earned byobtaining and using every power book in the game. This instantly puts it high on the list, since one of the rewards given by the raccoons in the “Good Neighbors” quest is one of these books.There are 19 power books in total,most of which are obtained from the Bookseller. He only visits Pelican town occasionally, and can be found behind the Jojamart.
Stardew Valley 1.6.9 Update Brings One Of The Most Highly Requested Item Features Some Fans Didn’t Know They Needed
Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update is debuting on consoles not in its original form, but in the enhanced version 1.6.9 - new to PCs today, too.
to collect all 19 books, players will have to exhaust most areas of the game. The books purchasable from the Bookseller range from 3,000g to 50,000g, and in total will cost 242,000g. With all these factors combined,this feat will take some of the most time to complete.
3Danger In The Deep
Reach The Bottom Of The Dangerous Mines
Mr Qi is a mysterious NPCfirst found inStardew Valleywithin Calico Desert - his questline is required to be completed before receiving the “Danger In The Deep” achievement. This has lots of steps andrequires players to collect various items in Pelican Town and Calico Desert.When players have gotten to its end, though, the achievemetn is earned by reaching the bottom of the Dangerous Mines. This is also a challenge given by Mr Qi in the Walnut Room on Ginger Island.
The challenge has to be completed within seven days of accepting it, and once it has been, the mines will reset, meaning players will get no headstart.The enemies found in the mines also become stronger, and there are 100 levels to traverse. With all the different long-running quest pieces, difficult enemies on top of a considerably short time limit, this is one of the hardest achievements in the game.
2Infinite Power
Forge The Infinity Blade
As the name may suggest, this achievement is earned by receiving the Infinity Blade.This powerful weapon is acquired through the combination of three Galaxy Souls with a Galaxy Sword- the latter players can receive by holding a prismatic shard in the middle of the three pillars in Calico Desert. Most Stardew Valley players willdo this with their first prismatic shard. Galaxy Souls are then acquired bypurchasing them with Qi Gems, which are rewarded by Mr. Qi in his Walnut Room on Ginger Island after completing his challenges, which become available after his questline.
One Galaxy soul costs 40 Qi Gems, so120 Qi Gems are needed in order to fully forge the Infinity Blade.For perspective, the “Danger In The Deep” challenge from the previous entry awards the player with 40 Qi Gems, meaning that it would only account for a third of the resources required. By the time players achieve this feat, they will have likely earned most of the other achievements on this list as well.
1Perfection
Max Out Every Stat
It should be to no one’s surprise that the achievement labeled “Perfection” is at the top of this list.This involves finalizing every area of the game completely, and finding most of the secrets the game has to offer. There is a fairly recent addition to the game, perfection waivers, which allow players to become closer to reaching the “Perfection” achievement without actually having to do everything - they add 1% to the overall perfection score, which though may not sound like a lot, can be extremely helpful in bypassing certain tasks.
The “Perfection” achievement comes with exclusive content along with a few other rewards, like theStatue Of True Perfection. It’s often what players will strive towards when creating a new save. “Perfection” has become quite possibly the most well-known achievement inside and outside theStardew Valleycommunity.
